    Default The Steelers deserved to win

    The Steelers deserved this win I am impressed with the Steelers effort today. They played with grit and the Ravens got caught looking beyond this game before it was wrapped up. I was especially impressed with Batch, who threw some pretty decent passes. The Steelers defense was especially good. Hopefully it is Baltimore's wake-up call and the team will look back at this game for inspiration down the stretch.

    Note: I took out some words I regretfully posted immediately after the game. I really meant it when I said they deserved to win. It was a typical Baltimore-Pittsburgh game.

Still, I am impressed with the Steelers effort today. They played with grit and the Ravens got caught looking beyond this game before it was wrapped up.
    LOL, it was roughing Cletus.

    Batch is not the fastest QB or the best passer but he plays smart football and the Steelers are one of the best coached teams out there.

    I like Batch. He is indeed a smart player. He had more zip on his throws than I thought he would too.

    Flacco had a pretty bad game at home. Of course the drops hurt too.

    Flacco needs a good kick in his nuts.

    The world doesn't work on ifs. Grow up kid and come back when you are able to shave.

    the problem is you need to take off your purple colored glasses and realize that flacco is what he is. a game manager at best. let me know when he actually gets to superbowl much less wins one.also I'm a ravens fan.

    Last time I checked, they are still 9-3 and the Steelers are 7-5. Losses like this help teams sometimes down the stretch. Hopefully this will be one of those games.

    Another 3 point game. Both teams made mistakes but the Steelers hung on.

    If you liked hitting you liked this game.

    but the Ravens had everything going for them....

    #1 No Ben
    #2 @ home
    #3 Troy P. probably at 50% tops
    #4 Clark went out hurt
    #5 @ home
    #6 No Ben
    #7 Batch is a dinosaur

    doesn't get any better.....

    my conclusion....ravens are pretenders

    congrats

    It's still the best rivalry in the NFL, no matter who plays and no matter who wins. I was very impressed with Pittsburgh's effort today. I never expected them to roll over and play dead and they did not disappoint. Even though my team lost, and I am disappointed, I enjoy these games every time. It's how football should ALWAYS be played.

    Tough loss for you guys at home. That was Ike Taylor that went out. I thought the Steeler turnovers had killed them but Batch really surprised me.

    The defense played an excellent game.

    Week to week in the NFL surprises happen.

    Interesting that Pittsburgh radio is saying Harbaugh cost the Ravens the game.
