***Official Ravens @ Steelers Division Championship Game Thread***
 

Okay, this game definitely deserves a thread. With Miami's win yesterday, they have basically locked up a wild card spot. The BAL-PIT game is essentially win or go home. I know most on here, including myself, do not want Pittsburgh in the playoffs, so until 7 tonight, we're all Ravens fans!

Baltimore always has Pittsburgh's number it seems, and Harbaugh is a far better coach than Tomlin.

Ravens 23
Steelers 21

Baltimore takes control and wins the division next week to send Pittsburgh right out of the playoffs.

clear this up, please.. I read here somewhere that if PIT wins, this locks the Chiefs into a playoff spot.

yes? no?

True.

But I'd rather Baltimore win and knock PIT out, and we clinch tonight with a win anyway.

ok thanks for clarification.. :thumb:

From my understanding, KC should either be the #2 (win out and Raiders losing) or #5 seed. That would be contingent on Miami losing to NE next week and or KC winning one of their last two.

There is a good chance that Pitt will play NE...in NE. If they win, Steelers come to Arrowhead for the AFCC...or KC plays two back-up QBs on the road with Houston and Oakland.

I think Pittsburgh has a better shot at beating NE than the Ravens. I would rather face Tomlin in a rematch than Belichick.

Either way, KC has a sweet path to the AFCC game....do NOT want the 6th seed.

We are Steeler fans tonight...

Today's game isn't win or go home. The only way pit misses the playoffs is if we lose to Denver.

Agreed!

This! Ravens lose the Chiefs go to play offs no matter what

With a loss to Baltimore, Pittsburgh can't pass Miami. They would need us to lose out to pass KC.

You are right. I even looked at that yesterday myself to see if Miami wins the tie breaker lol. I was blanking today that Oakland would be a wild card if we took the 2 seed.

So who we posta root for then?

True, but KC either wants the #2 or #5 seed.

#6 means on the road to Pittsburgh... then on the road to NE. That's BEFORE the AFCC game...yikes.

Baltimores offense is seriously outmatched by Pittsburghs, and they're on the road to boot

I dont like the Ravens chances at all

We want Baltimore to win without a doubt.

Yeah, a Ravens loss gets us in the playoffs, but so does a Chiefs win. If we can't win one of these last 2 games, we don't belong in the playoffs.

What he asked

Today's game is essentially a playoff game.

Win & you're in.

Baltimore win:
1. Pats
2. Chiefs
3. Ravens
4. Texans
5. Raiders
6. Dolphins

Miami @ Baltimore
Oakland @ Houston

Theres no way Pitt goes to NE as the 3 seed unless its for the AFCCG.
Pit can make it as a WC, but that scenario has the Chiefs loosing out and missing the playoffs.

Basically Pitt as the 3 seed (after beating the 6 seed in the WC) would go to the 2 seed Oakland/KC, and NE would get the lowest seeded winner from the WC round which wont be Pitt

GO.... wait.....

I say the.....hold up.....

Ravens this weekend and Bengals next weekend.

So I guess the NFLN stole this game, what a load of garbage... I hate Goodells guts

Thanks YOU!

Just noticed that. Goodell can suck a bag of dicks.

I'm hoping for a Steeler win but late in the 4th qtr. Bell and Rothlesgurger both break their Fibulas. This would make our path much better.

Pretty soon they're gonna be keeping playoff games

Thanks for the link, bro, thats nice of you... but 43 inch HDTV > tiny little computer screen

Go Ravens!!!!

Dinny

:clap:

I just looked at the tv and there was a Steelers player warming up wearing pink

Historically when I see a player or fan wearing pink gear that team loses

Therefore, superstition would say Steelers will lose today

Disgusting fan.

Completely agree with this. I'm more afraid of the Pittsburgh at Heinz Field than any team in the AFC. Sure Pats at Gillette is as tough, but that's a guarantee trip as it seems now.

Go Steelers!

I'm stoked for today.

It annoys the **** out of me they are branding this game Thursday night football

You can't have Thursday night football on a Sunday

It's not possible

**** off nfl network

Faulk, McGinest & Irvin all pick Baltimore.

Congrats Steelers!

I'm furious about it, did they take away games this late in the year last year?

Not even gonna bother watching a stream, if I cant watch a big game like this on a big screen... dont wanna watch it at all

They were pimping it as a first

First time they had an exclusive late season game on NFL network

The whole Sunday night football on a Thursday and Thursday night football on a Sunday is just dumb

Like the Steeler color rush costumes.

Which big-name player busts a fibula in this game?

So far Steelers pushing the Raven's around ..

Why the hell is this game only on NFL Network?

That was a good Steelers drive.

Pure greed, thats all it is

This is going to be like the Steelers - Chiefs game.

Think BALT is supposed to have a top run defense.. so watching Pitt run through them does cause a shudder in imagining Bell running through KC's....

Can't beat TD's with FG's.

OPI on a great play

Bell devouring the Ravens. Throw more.

That was a fun play design.

Stupid sack by Flacco

Flacco isn't much of a moving target. Easy sack there.

And then nothing...

Muffed FG

Can't win matching TD with muffed fgs.

Bell reminds me of Priest Holmes the way he stops and waits then runs.

There were the Priest stats

I'm pulling for the Steelers in this game just so the Chiefs can clinch, but if we meet them in the playoffs, Bell may run for 200 on us.

Not so much.

You have a chance to clinch, you take it.

I dont care who we play, to be the best you have to beat the best.

Go Ravens!!

If we can't clinch on our own then it doesn't matter anyway.


Pittsburgh and Dallas are the probably the worse matchups in the NFL for us

especially with Houston broken again

conflicting messages here :)

On one hand you are saying that you want someone else to clinch it for us

the other hand you're saying we need to step up

:shrug:

Pretty much this.

People thought Murray was going to run all over us and Latavius was going to run all over us. Our team plays to the level of the opponent which is maddening on offense, but has turned out pretty good on defense.

hit the ground

Mike Wallace completely pussed out and pulled off that pass to avoid getting hit

no hold call?

there it is-massively late and blatent

what was that?

Have a feeling this is going to get punchy.

Hope it does. Good hitting game so far.

Baltimore needs a TD here.

Both these teams can be easily beat, I dont understand the jizz fest over the Steelers

Dang fgs.

Steelers have not looked good the past coulple weeks. I think people(me included)are afraid of what the Steelers can be when they are on. Won't be an issue if they keep ****ing around and lose this game

I'm not really scared of playing the Steelers as long as it's at home and Houston is healthy

Looking at Pitts stats on offense you'd think it was the Chiefs playing. 132 yards total on offense for the first half.

I'm nervous because the Chiefs are nerve-wracking and the Steelers can run effectively.

The Steelers would beat us

Give me the home team.

hope that's a catch...

Baltimore should already be up a score... hope they get a TD here.
