In the last few minutes of the game, the Ravens defense set up the offense to make abig play – and big play it was as Flacco hit “whosyourmama” in the endzone to put the Ravens in the lead with virtually no time on the clock for the Steelers to make a comeback.
It happens. The Steelers have done that same thing a million times. The dreaded two minute hustle we all love, and all hate. This time, the Ravens used it to their advantage. My only question to the Steelers defense, why was anyone at all open in that end zone? BMac – I saw you with your back to the quarterback, you didn’t even see the ball coming, did you?
It was a great game, but a little too close for comfort – at the same time – being undefeated doesn’t always mean good things. In fact, does it ensure your edge? Ben’s back as of today and now is the time when our season gets real. No more which quarterback will hold us down today thinking – now’s the time to go out and play hard – no excuses.
During this week off, I expect the team to get back into the groove with Ben leading the offense. The defense is still nasty and I believe the Steelers will still reign supreme in the AFC North. Next up the Browns, but the Steelers also need to get ready for Miami and the Saints – two more tough games right around the corner. The Browns aren’t guaranteed either as well as they have been playing. Let’s go Steelers!

The Steelers beat the Steelers this week…stupid penalties, the defense sat back and let Flacco (Bert) hit those outside routes with ease, Skippy missed 2 field goals, Charlie didn’t see a few open receivers down field…the Ravens are NOT that good. We beat ourselves, and it better not happen again. Yeah our defense is great…but where were they on that last drive!?!?
I love it…never give the opponent ANY credit when your team loses. Just take your L and keep it moving…we know full well the next time these two meet it will just as hard-fought and nailbiting as all the others.
