Let There Be Blood (figuratively speaking) - Titans vs. Ravens Open Thread

It's all about the Steelers doing what they need to do to win in the 2008 playoffs. If they play up to their ability, I think they'll be representing the AFC in the Super Bowl. If they make mistakes, it's anybody's guess. But first things first and that begins with the first of the two divisional round games in the coference beteween the #1 seed Titans and the #6 seed Ravens.

It's been an entertaining and interesting morning here on BTSC as we talked about football for a few minutes, then the merits of Yuengling, breakfast tacos and who we wanted to win this afternoon - Baltimore or Tennessee?

The consensus has been mixed, with the one shared sentiment being that people are just hoping for a physical grueling game between the two punishing teams. No one wishes harm on anybody, but a rolled ankle or two wouldn't be too bad would it?? Just kidding, but odds are this game is going to be a grind it out slugfest. Our game tomorrow likely will be as well. Most games in January are that way though. It's win or go home so the pace of the game invariably picks up. Simple physics means the hitting becomes more violent. So far, Baltimore's defense looks vulnerable. Perhaps it's all the tough games they've been in lately taking its toll against a physical and rested Titans offensive line. I'm hoping we see something similar tomorrow in Pittsburgh.

Me? I'm for Baltimore. A potential Ravens Steelers matchup at Heinz for all the marbles? In Ray Ray's last game as a Raven I'd guess? Sounds good to me.

We'll see. We don't do much scoreboard watching as Steelers fans but if there was ever a time to keep an eye out on what's going on around us, today would be that day in Nashville.

But I think TN may be srewed. They have left 6-14 points on the board. That’s costly stuff. Want to see how Titans first drive of 2nd half goes but i think im leaning towards Baltimore.

My dream NFL broadcast would be this:

The ability to push buttons on the remote so I can turn off the announcers, turn up the crowd noise in full 5.1 surround, and also have one more button to hear live mics of the players—-with volume control for all of those.

Ben as a rookie vs flacco. Why not?

Nor should Ben. He should probably just win another SB to remind some folks

by Blitzburgh on Jan 10, 2009 6:15 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

WTF IS THIS

Boomer Assesin (i know that’s not spelled right), just said Flacco is the mirror image of Ben Roethlisberger. Can someone come back down to earth and stop overrating the guy. I understand he’s had some good games and can at times be good at managing a game, but the guy did not break 300 yards once this season, or 3 passing TD’s. People need to realize that he only threw two more TD’s than INT’s. You can compare him to Ben this year cause BB has had rough year, but lets get real; Flacco is a good young QB, but come back to me when he can actually put up some decent numbers.

I agree the guy’s got some potential, but for Pete’s sake, the press he gets makes it look like he was league MVP.

You all act like Ben is the greatest quarterback and Flacco is a one hit wonder. It’s completely reasonable to say that this kid is having every bit as good of a year as Ben did his rookie year, and he sure is having a better first playoff game than ben.

Everyone thought that Anderson was the up and coming MVP and laughed at Baltimore for letting him get picked up by the Browns. Now he is trade bait. Could be a good QB, could be the next Tim Couch. Don’t start get menopausal because it is being pointed out that he hasn’t proved anything yet.

This is Flacco's second playoff game.

 Roethlisberger’s rookie year was easily better than Flacco’s. BB threw 17 TD’s, 11 INT’s, and had a season rating of 98.1. Compare that to Flacco’s 14 TD’s, 12 INT’s and a rating of 80.3 rating.

I’m not saying Roethlisberger is the best QB but Flacco does not deserve the attention he’s getting.

Ben won his first 15 games as a starter and led several 4th quarter comebacks during those games. I think Flacco is very good, but Roethlisberger’s rookie season was phenomenal.

ugly in a way, but just good tough game; lots of strategy, risk management, etc. good stuff. most the games so far in playoffs have been good. i wouldnt be shocked to see a exciting game tonight as well – i think people are selling AZ a bit too short. CAR should win for sure but its not like carolina is ‘east coast’ conditions. Boldin should play too.

Hey Y'all

Late arrival here. Wow. 12 penalties? I thought the Steelers were the only team in the world who could get that many in one game…

by Hines Ward on Jan 10, 2009 7:31 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

it’s been a wild game

Any significant injuries to report? I saw someone mentioned Willie Anderson.

now i’d LOVE to see the titans move the ball in to field goal range and send this baby into OT. but i don’t see it happening. looks like if we win tomorrow we’ve got the crows at heinz field.

three games against the ravens. shit

by worldtrip on Jan 10, 2009 7:39 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

NO

I really disagree. Home game over road game. This game has taken its toll on them. We can win! First things first, but this is perfect development

Dierdorf - Ravens are the team nobody wants to play

Whatever dude, we’ll play ‘em – if we’re so lucky. We gotta take care of business tomorrow.

Why, because the ravens beat us?

by steelguy99 on Jan 10, 2009 7:48 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Because

I think Baltimore is a better team than Tenn. I think we held some things back against Tenn, and I think in some respects we were lucky to beat Baltimore.

by worldtrip on Jan 10, 2009 7:50 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Sweet

We get to play the team we beat twice at home instead of a team that beat us on the road.

by _ET_ on Jan 10, 2009 7:40 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

or you could look at it this way;

oh great…we have to play the team that we almost lost to twice, who knows us really well, and who is on the way up, riding some incredible momentum instead of the team that we were licking our chops to have some revenge on.

That's why I wanted to see us play them again.

We’ve already proven what we need to prove to B’more. Twice.

by DistrictSteelerFan on Jan 10, 2009 7:42 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

true

does make it tough to swallow if we lose knowing that we’re the better team two of the three times we played. we’ll see. thats what makes the nfl better than NCAAFB imo. Resume means nothing.

Just jumped on

but it seemed to me the Ravens got the lion’s share of the breaks today.

by _ET_ on Jan 10, 2009 7:41 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

Big time. No turnovers, but they looked like crap.

by steelguy99 on Jan 10, 2009 7:42 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

every last break imaginable

They got OWNED today.

not sure AT ALL why people are so afraid. they got hammered – defense and offense was a joke today., should have been a 31-17 type game.

by Blitzburgh on Jan 10, 2009 7:42 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

A LOT of banged up players on both sides.

by steelguy99 on Jan 10, 2009 7:43 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

If Suggs is out

for next week (should we win tomorrow of course) thats going to huge for us.

by _ET_ on Jan 10, 2009 7:44 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Suggs, mclain, rolle all got beat up.

Called it

So I called Baltimore and San Diego. Despite criticism, my AFC picks are 3-0.

So lets hope my picks go all the way, and we make the SB 43.

In the off chance we didn’t beat them – screw ’em.

They jumped on my Ire chart over baltimore after that towel incident and their fans insolent comments regarding it.

by steelguy99 on Jan 10, 2009 7:44 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

had no bizness winning this one

this was 5x as undeserving a win as ours over Dallas

by Blitzburgh on Jan 10, 2009 7:45 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

To be fair, the titans got owned in the regular season and pulled out a win.

Injuries...

So how significant are the injuries to Rolle and Suggs?

by Hines Ward on Jan 10, 2009 7:45 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

No idea, but even if everyone plays, at least they play a bit beat up.

Here come the whiners!

I think we’re going to here all the crying about how Santonio didn’t score a touchdown in the last game and how they’re going to get revenge.

First we gotta take care of business with the Chargers and then we gotta put the Ravens down for the count!

by Steev1705 on Jan 10, 2009 7:46 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

emotional part of me

wanted balt to lose, because I hate the team
but the rational part is happy they won. The Ravens looked mediocre often out there, that performance shouldn’t intimidate anyone

by vherub on Jan 10, 2009 7:46 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

Well...

You best believe if we win tomorrow, they are going to be nothing but pumped for Heinz.

by Hines Ward on Jan 10, 2009 7:48 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

They were pumped at home for game 14, and we still spanked them.

Not saying it’s going to be easy…

by steelguy99 on Jan 10, 2009 7:49 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

also, if we win tomorrow, how much of a deal is going to be made about the spitting incident. it will get extremely nasty at Heinz field next weekend.

What concerns me

Baltimore causes turnovers, Ben commits them.

by worldtrip on Jan 10, 2009 7:48 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

Hasn’t been a big deal in our two previous matchups.

by steelguy99 on Jan 10, 2009 7:50 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

in fact

Ben has had some of his best games against Baltimore the last two years

by Blitzburgh on Jan 10, 2009 7:50 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

here's to a good old fashioned beatdown of SD tomorrow

I don’t want to talk about playing the Ravens until when and if we take care of business

by acrollet on Jan 10, 2009 7:48 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

True dat.

Keep getting ahead of myself in my head, and playing the game against baltimore week after next…

by DistrictSteelerFan on Jan 10, 2009 7:49 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

True. Lets take care of business tomorrow.

by steelguy99 on Jan 10, 2009 7:50 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

yes yes

but not like we’re going to analyze film or some nonsense in anticipation. conjecture time for now!

but come tomorrow, all focus on SD

by Blitzburgh on Jan 10, 2009 7:51 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Right

Cause if we talk about it we might have an effect on what the players, who don’t know us and i’m sure never ever come on this site, do in the game tomorrow.

by worldtrip on Jan 10, 2009 7:52 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

I tell you this

I am very optimistic about the Steelers going to the SB. Balt got beat up today. And SD has no business really even giving the Steelers much of a game tomorrow.
