I think the loss of Bell is just too much to over come...

ravens- 24
steelers - 20

sorry...hope I'm wrong.

Wingman won last week. We are undefeated against the Ravens in the playoffs but yet we haven't lost since I've started predicting a loss. Therefore, I give you....

Thank you Crimson.

I have personally noticed a trend this year where we lose if I am wearing Steelers gear during the game. As much as it will pain me during a playoff game, I will not be wearing the black and gold.

Flacco throws 2 picks.

I can't see the Steelers losing this game at home.

 

[Wingman]

I turned the steelers gnome around so he can see the tv last game and they started playing better at that point. I'll be letting him watch this week from the beginning.

Gayvens game plan heavy against Ben, we gash them early with Josh Harris. Baltisore rallys late but the D seals it with a pick 6 on the Unibrow . . .

Dem Stillers: 29
Ratbirds: 19

My advice to young Mr. Harris: Stay calm, but play with intensity and focus. You've practiced all year for this and now it's your time to shine. Now go forth young man, and bring me the head of a Raven!

I was drinking lemoncello when I made my original post but I still predict a beatdown of epic proportion.

I listened to an interview about Bell and how the back ups were going to be ready to go and noticed Archer even talks fast.

I have a bad feeling about this one. Bell, even if he plays, will not be the Bell we've come to know and love. Polamalu appears to be starting, which means he'll be out of position for at least one and maybe two Raven TDs. Baltimore 27, Steelers 23

Steelers Avg- 26

This game has the look of a slop fest with high winds as well as rain. I think the slop fest favors the less skilled team and that would be the Ravens. However even with the wind and rain being variable during the game and likely being worse when the Steelers have the ball I expect the Steelers to win in a close one. Steelers 20 Gavens 13.

 

[DBS1970]

Im saying it will be 17-10 Ratbirds at the half. Steelers rally and the final is 34-17 STEELERS!

 

[DocScott]

Here's to Ben and the O line coming out on top of their game. Don't like the thought of Nagta, Mosley, Dumerville, and Suggs blitzing, and they will. I'll even go as far as saying they aren't far removed from taking the "cheap shot" if you know what I mean. This is rivalry playoff football with us vs. them. Hopefully it will not be another field goal fest either.......Steelers 31 Ravens 17!!!!!!!

The arrogance of Tomlin and Colbert to not rectify the backup running back situation will come back to bite us in the ***. Tomlin does not do well when the team is favored and the pass rush of the Rats might get Ben killed without the running or pass receiving threat of Bell.

Tomlin's playoff losing streak stretches to 3 and it will be 5 seasons since our last playoff win.

Or maybe...just maybe... they feel that Josh Harris would be able to step in and help fill the void without having to panic and sign an also-ran to replace the big quitter who ran home to Behlicheat land.

Harris has no resume and if you think we are in good shape at RB the joke is on you. Worst RB corps in the playoffs right now. Of course Tomlin and Colbert also drafted the worthless gimmick RB in the 3rd round.

I never said that we were in good shape at RB. The Steelers had a guy quit on them in the middle of the season that would have been a whiny cancer in the locker room if he stayed on the team. So, who should the Steelers have brought in that would have vastly improved the RB situation?

Bell out and Ngata it is just too much to overcome.

The bright side is the last 3 times I predicted a loss, they won. Another superstition: I quit wearing Steeler gear on game days when they were sucking ***, and they started winning and playing better. So no Steeler gear again today.
