Short week, but feeling good about Thursday. We are relatively healthy. Ravens have some key defensive injuries. All the pressure on them.

Steelers 24-13

The greatest coach on the planet is about to get the greatest Oline, Offense, and RB leading our team to another victory.

150 yards rushing and 2 TDs for Big Jimmy Conner.

It's Thanksgiving and the running game needs to eat.

I've said many times, the key to beating the Ravens is to get the lead and force them to play catch up. We need to put our slow starts behind us or this game will be more difficult than it needs to be. Force LJ to throw to catch up and the chances of winning go up significantly.

I'm feeling both confident and uneasy! How? My gut says we're going to sweep the rats. But I'm uneasy that I'm feeling confident about this game!

I agree that all the pressure is on the rats. They need this win badly.

Not sure that watching our biggest rivalry on Thanksgiving day is good for my digestion!

I plan to eat early so I don't puke from stress even though I'm confident we win

If you puke from the stress you get to eat again so it's kinda a win on Thanksgiving ;)

I like the fact it is in Pittsburgh and a prime-time night game. The Steelers are usually money at home and in primetime, especially against the rats.

I seem to remember a few seasons back about Harbaugh complaining to Goondell about having to play the Steelers at night.

We take this going away.

Steelers 34

Rats 13

Conner has had some good games against the Ravens before. It’s not like he’s forgotten how to run or become less physical.

I think we should look back to some older games for inspiration. Plus the Ravens aren’t going to worry about the run is my guess so we can surprise them.

Older games were we just pound them with the running game relentlessly then..hit'em with the play action pass. You've got me feeling nostalgic. :tt2

Mark Andrews - Tending to thigh injury
updated 2 hours ago
Andrews made a sudden appearance on the Ravens' Week 5 injury report just before a matchup with the Bengals, with a thigh issue the root cause. He proceeded to suit up and score one of his six touchdowns on the season. Now with a cap on his practice reps to begin Week 12 prep, the status of Andrews bears watching in advance of Thursday's visit to Pittsburgh.

Let's not go overboard. Sweeping the leg is at least 15 yards and possible player disqualification. Listen to Johnny Lawrence. We can beat them Sensei.
