Pitt vs. Baltimore

[amfootball]

Perfect timing for Baltimore to be on the national stage. lol.

 

Still, I love this game and this rivalry. Thoughts on the game? Will the Ravens be off their game from the Rice saga or will it fuel them? Will Pitt get up early and have another second half collapse? Will Flacco play better? Will Tomlin trip a Ravens player?

 

Lots of good story lines.

All the story lines seem to be beyond the field. There was a time when this division rivalry was dominated by hitting from Polamalu, Harrison, Woodley, Larry Foote etc. on the Steelers side and the Ravens' front 7 (you name it). Now, the defensive rivalry is an after thought, IMO.

I'm going Ravens 24-21. Torrey Smith with a big day.

[shakedownstreet]

hopefully they destroy each other & both franchises are forced to fold

[BOTT]

Steelers by double digits

[B~Town]

Flacco is going to show why he is the most overpaid player in the NFL

Pierce will benched again

Tomlin keeps his butt on the sidelines

Steelers dominate

Ravens show how much they have fallen since there SB run and the comparisons between Flacco and Eli become the talk of the NFL . 

Rice get's mentioned 50 plus times by announcers sideline reporters ect .

Flacco proved that last year

[Synthetic]

Pittsburgh is going to smash them up.

 

 

If Todd Haley don't call pass pass pass offense with a huge lead in the second half like the other day.

[Jules]

Pittsburgh needs to jump on this when the Ravens are distracted by the Ray Rice drama.

 

Steelers could get worrisome this year if they win enough.

[dgambill]

Could be a terrible week in Baltimore...lose two games and the Ray Rice situation....easy for bad stuff to snowball on a season....ask Houston last year. Sometimes it isn't even your a bad team like the Saints with the bounty gate...negativity just breeds more negativity...I really hope Baltimore wins to turn things around for them...not that I'm a fan of either team but just to change the narrative hopefully.

[Bruiser]

I would not want to lose the rich history of the Steelers....

[oldunclemark]

I'll be glad when its over and we can move on.

..now that Rice got a year suspension he should have gotten...theres no more to say..

...I'll take the Steelers....in a battle of 2 teams that used to have good defenses

when did he get a years suspension?

[shakedownstreet]

[oldunclemark]

when did he get a years suspension?

Good point...Indefinetly....I assume is at least this year.

Can you imagine Goddell reinstating him THIS year? I cant

Goodell even said that Rice wasn't out for life..that he could petition to return to the league sometime in the future..

I took that to mean the offseason..

I think a one year suspension is what Ray should have received...but indefinetly means at least a year, to me

[oldunclemark]

That's just mean..shake

How long did others convicted of the same crime get?

well goodell is claiming rice lied to him. he'll be out for a while just to save goodell some face

[jvan1973]

The ravens owner said the account rice gave him was consistent with what was on the video

[oldunclemark]

Rice is suspended indefinetly and he can apply for reinstatement in a year...is the way it is officially stated

I don't know if Baltimore is hurting at running back but they did throw 62 times last week, right?

Baltimore struggled to run the ball WITH Rice. Yeah, they have no run game, and it's basically all on Flacco's arm to save the day for them. A scary proposition really.

[oldunclemark]

Did they slice up their team to sign Joey F to super bucks?

It was a tough call but they may have made the wrong choice

Right. This is looking worse and worse for Goodell.
