Steelers vs Ravens 2nd Half Open Thread

Um, we're not very good at football. Not right now at least. The Ravens take a 13-3 lead into the second half, with the Steelers getting possession to start things off after intermission. Hopefully we take off the junior varsity jerseys we've been donning the past two weeks and put on the Black and Gold when we emerge from the locker room.

So far, so unbelievably unimpressive.

can we ship Simmons, Arians, and Marvel Smith back to the pits that spawn them?
