Let There Be Blood (figuratively speaking) - Titans vs. Ravens Open Thread
by Michael Bean on Jan 10, 2009 4:19 PM EST

PrintIt'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.

I’ve loved Clark this year a lot. More than I ever really enjoyed Hope. He was good, but Clark at his best when healthy and playing for weeks on end is more consistent, fewer big lapses

We should do a poll about which ones are more annoying
between the “drinkability” ones and the nfl headcoach blooper ones
drinkability
head coach ones are actually kinda funny until they get overplayed. drinkability ones are just dumb

Both teams moving it well. That last series for TN could come back to haunt them big time. Had 3 in the bag basically, perhaps 7. It was 2nd and 3 from the 25.

damn
cant wait for sepulveda to get back.
punters are doing amazing things each week in the NFL. bergers been fine, but i want amazing punting too.
imagine our D with a dangerous punter.
if you can't stop him
hold him down and break him in half. classy ravens.
my goodness
is kerry collins really playing like the QB messiah right now? TN is uber dangerous if he’s accurate like tihs and like he was against us. I still think we can do good things against their defense, but i dont love the matchup on the other side.
whereas
BMores offense flat out doesnt scare me at all.

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.

this is third time theyve been in this exact position
both times before got 0 points. this is huge moment in the game
fukin Ravens
So lucky if they win this, btu I think they just may. Just going to take a couple good calls from Cam Cameron and one more TN mistake. Unrealy. It’s like 260 yards to 100.
On a side note
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.
Ahhhhh Dreams……
and be able to choose which camera
so you can actually see the line play and the receivers fighting the dbacks
surely one day in the future
definitely should be able to hear the players if one wants to. america needs to stop being so prude. if there are kids around, then dont activate the feature. id pay another 500 bucks a year for sure to watch the games if that was an option. no brainer for the league.

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.

Oh please
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.
I love Big Ben, but have to agree this kid could be the real deal, i guess time will tell
by SoDakotaSteeler on Jan 10, 2009 6:21 PM EST up reply actions
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.

that's right
This is his second playoff game. Ok, he’s having a better second playoff game than bb did.. Mainly cause BB threw some painful int’s.
that he did
his first playoffs were crap. Flacco was crap in Miami and hasn’t been amazing today so we’ll see when it’s all over and the dust settles.

how so? He has only completed 3 passes this whole game
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.

this is a mike tomlin 'beautiful' game
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.
I Want to Play Flacco
The more I see of Flacco, the more I am convinced that he is due to meltdown. I thought it would be this game, but I’d love to see him next week, at home. Of course, the Chargers still stand in our way.

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

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.
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.

If Suggs is out
for next week (should we win tomorrow of course) thats going to huge for us.
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.
If We Win Tomorrow...
I’m going to be a little disappointed we won’t get a chance to avenge The Terrible Towel this year.
I like our chances versus a rookie coach and rookie QB at Heinz
like Blitz said they got out played all day
had no bizness winning this one
this was 5x as undeserving a win as ours over Dallas

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!
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
Well...
You best believe if we win tomorrow, they are going to be nothing but pumped for Heinz.
in fact
Ben has had some of his best games against Baltimore the last two years

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

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.
