First game that counts and it's a humdinger.

Teams played three times last year. All three games were decided late in the fourth quarter.


Baltimore 17, Pittsburgh 14
Pittsburgh 13, Baltimore 10
*Pittsburgh 31, Baltimore 24

* Postseason

I have Ray Rice on my fantasy team as well as the Steelers D. I'm hoping Ray Rice scores lots of TDs and Flacco gets sacked a lot and throws a few INTs.

If these things don't happen then I hope there is a sink hole on the 50 yard line.

I keep wondering when and if Flacco will take the next step and hopefully it's this season. He has the tools but I'm just not sure if he has the "it" factor. Should be interesting because they have a bunch of young receivers.

I never count on, or expect, or even think the steelers will win in baltimore. This is a nasty, nasty series and I expect the home team to win each of these matchups.

Great way to start the season with a "beat the shit out of your rival" game to make a very early statement in the division. The sort of statement that likely will be forgotten in a few weeks, but at least good for early bragging rights!

Good ole fashioned HATE. Fuck yes. I'd be looking forward to this game even if I wasn't a fan of either team.

For real. And from a fans point of view, Pitt is a love them or hate them team, so all the haters, including myself, will definitely be watching.

Steelers final five cuts were Crezdon Butler, Tony Hills, John Gilmore, Jarrett Crittenton and Jeremy Kapinos.

Butler and Hills being the biggest surprises.

Defensive line rotation is important early in the year when it's still hot, that might've been the thinking behind keeping Steve McClendon.

Practice squad is RB John Clay, OL Trevis Turner, DE Corbin Bryant, TE Jamie McCoy, WR Tyler Grisham, OL John Malecki, LB Mortty Ivy and S Damon Cromartie-Smith

Besides, it's not like it would happen. Hines is the Invincible Man, so it's not like Ray would connect on the kill shot. Most likely whiff, as the Ravens watch another season turn to dust.

Well Ray can still hurt people but that's neither here nor there. Let's just wait and see how this plays out on Sunday.

I certainly hope it's just a joke. That said, why say it if you really don't mean it? Perhaps you would be wise to choose your words more carefully.
