I hope I'm wrong, but I just sense the stars are aligned for a major-league ass-kicking courtesy of your guys. Maybe not score-wise, but in the sense that everyone watching the game knows one team was a light-year or two better than the other.

I hope I'm wrong (the Steelers aren't the only team in this game that's underachieved this year), but I have a bad feeling. Ben's banged up and Baltimore's front seven always is good at putting hits on QBs.

Yeah, the front seven is the bright spot of the Raven's D right now. The secondary blows besides Ed. It should be a good game as always. Both teams need a win though.

Just got home from the bar, had a couple of Woodchucks

Both teams need a win big-time. I was shocked at how Pittsburgh laid an egg against KC. After blowing a two-score lead in the fourth quarter against Cincy in the first game, they just never did anything offensively in the second game and lost. That surprised me, so I figured they'd be in ass-murdering mode for the Chiefs. Nope, a lackluster effort that kept them in the game to the point where they won. This is a survival week for both teams, as I think the loser will be on the outside looking in come playoff time. Neither has shown the ability to consistently win so far, so you can't say...."well if we lose, we'll just come on strong down the stretch!" Sure, it could happen, but neither team has shown they can do it yet.

Yes, I agree that the loser is on the outside looking in. Yeah, I think them losing to Kansas City was a shock to everyone but it's the NFL. I don't take anything for granted anymore. Baltimore has lost a bunch of games that they could have easily won but for whatever reason didn't get the job done and they are only 5-5 right now and it's very frustrating as a fan. A win over Pittsburgh on Sunday night would be very nice.

Still pounding Bud light limes...

Just got back from the bar after pounding some Bud Light and a few shots.

Wow I am pretty buzzed. I'm going to go lay down.

I can't drink in the Morning. It has just never appealed to me. Coffee or water or fruit juice of some kind starts my day off very nicely. Today being Thanksgiving, I'll need to refrain from any serious imbibing if I plan on watching my Lions. (On second thought.....?)
