8-7 Pittsburgh at 13-2 Baltimore. 

 

 

“What we’re going to do is we’re not going to play certain guys in this game,” Harbaugh said Monday. “We won’t play Lamar. Marshal won’t play. Earl won’t play. Brandon Williams won’t play. After that, we’ll still decide as the week goes on. I think it’s really important is that this is pro football, not college football. You can’t sit your starters in a game. That’s not how it works. You have up to seven options, if you’re completely healthy. We don’t know exactly if we’ll be completely healthy or not. We’re very healthy, so that bodes well.”

The key to victory is for the Ravens to just run the ball consistently(at least 35-40 times), keep Pittsburgh's defense honest with RGIII throwing underneath, chain moving throws and eating up the clock.  It won't be the most interesting thing to watch but with all these players out this week, it's the only way I can see the Ravens sending the Steelers home for good.  If Roman tries to get cute or implement the same offense as if Jackson was out there, it's going to be their 3rd loss of the year.  Bank on it.

I've got this vision of Griffin playing great in this game and then the Ravens being able to trade him for a 2nd round pick next year.

I really am not worried, one way or another.  I do think, the Ravens will throw more, because, I do not think a make shift Oline will be able to move the Steelers front 7.  The main goal, stay healthy and if you can do that, and eliminate the Steelers then so much the better.

I had a Steeler fan, ask to buy my tickets for Sunday.  I told him, I would flush them, rather than let a Pittsburgh fan, sit in my seats.  He seemed offended.  Mission accomplished.

Ugly weather tomorrow.

Hopefully they get to break the rushing record.

Hopefully they get to break the rushing record.

And hopefully, it's in the 1st half.

A part of me hopes they lose because I'd prefer to see Pittsburgh in the playoffs over Tennessee.

Tenn stands a better chance at beating the Chiefs though.

[SportsGuy]

Just no injuries please.

I would happily play either, because that would likely mean, KC is gone.

I can not see Steelers, beating KC, Tenn, maybe, but probably not likely.

My 3 top goals for today.

1, No injuries

2. No injuries

3. No injuries

 

and as a bonus, if we can eliminate these ass hats, that would be great.

Pretty much. I could care less about winning or losing today. Just come out healthy.

Even if Pittsburgh wins this game, they aren't likely to make the playoffs.  Houston is resting several players including Deshaun Watson.   They are starting AJ McCarron.  Tennessee should win that game easy.  

[BSLChrisStoner]

Thomas good return.

[Mackus]

Would be fun to win today. House money. Agree that avoiding injury is by far the highest priority.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Edwards for 5.

[BSLChrisStoner]

3rd and short coming.
