    New Media Darlings

    Media slobbering all over the Ravens today. I watched the game and have to say I was unimpressed. There were at least 3 Flacco chuck-and-hope passes that went for completions. Detroit DBs are pathetic and for all the hype they get, their defensive line was hardly pressuring the QB. I would also add that even though Stafford has an arm, he really needs to have better decisionmaking. The game really reminded me of BAL/DEN game last season.

    Wish the Steelers had a chance to spoil things for them this season.

    Well, I came away from the game with a different take on the Ravens. They are a team that knows how to win football games. They will in all likelihood beat New England, which will put a tremendous amount of pressure on the Bengals. The Ravens (IMO) will be the AFC North champs again and a dangerous team in the playoffs, they know how to win ugly and they have a difference maker in Tucker.

    They could have easily lost last night, but didn't.
    They could have easily lost last week, but didn't.
    The Steelers could have beaten them, but didn't.

    They're a dangerous team right, this is when they play best, it's their time of the season, I wish the Steelers had their resiliency.

    That's what everyone kept saying last year as well and they just kept coming up with clutch play after clutch play. Same for the past three weeks, when they need a play, someone steps up and makes the play.

    And, just remember, "Luck occurs when preparation meets opportunity - anonymous"

    true, i just think the team is way less dangerous than last year.
    i guess a friendly 'i told you so' bet is in order?

    dude was hitting 70 yarders in pregame. He hit 5 against us and 6 last week. That isn't luck...

    I think the luck was Megatron dropping 2 or 3 WIDE OPEN passes.
