If we win we are in. Easy as that.

We didnt deserve to win today, just like the other loses we have had this year. So many missed oppurtunities lost. Hopefully we can beat the Raiders and get to the playoffs. Then it will be a whole new season. If our team can show up and play like they should we still have a shot like everyone else.

Another thing, since I didn't watch the game on TV I couldn't hear what happened, what the heck happened with the other Mason drop, it looked pretty close to a fumble to me but no challenge, Tomlin threw the flag but I guess they said it wasn't reviewable, anyone hear why?

It honestly could have gone either way, but I can't say I am sorry to see the Ravens lose. You are still fine for the playoffs, but Oakland is a reasonably good team, so hopefully B-More takes this as a kick in the *** and takes it to them next week. Honestly I hope that both the Steelers and Ravens make it in, games like this make me appreciate the NFL more and more (I am a college football guy).

I will be anxiously awaiting to see how the crazy wreck called the AFC Playoff picture unfolds.

Yes Mason should of had the first easy as$ catch.... but the second one when he got drilled he did have full control and took atleast 2-3 steps and would of been a fumble BUT there was a penalty against the ravens for an illegal block in the back or some **** but Tomlin excepted the penalty so the play was no reviewable because he hurried and excepted the penalty instead of thinking if it was a fumble first......

Extremely frustrating especially when the ravens were better in every aspect of the game otherwise. Good teams don't always go out and get the win. good teams maintain focus and composure and let the other team commit the unforced errors that put you in a position to win. That is what pittsburgh did. they did not go out and win they stayed focused while the ravens imploded. This week showed they are NOT a good team and should not make the playoffs because it would be another opportunity wasted.

Not sure where the blame lies. It hard to bench ngata, but he has commited poor penalties this year that hurt the ravens chances for success. Cousins should have been benched after that penalty that may have cost the win. His back up used to be a starter and could have played and played well. Seems like suggs has mailed it in after getting his contract. Not swiftly reacting to the lack of discipline yesterday may haunt harbaugh. that being said he was the only one I saw on the sideline showing some heart and disgust at the situation. Every time the cameras were on the side lines the players were laughing and smiling. I did not feel like they had any sense of urgency at the situation.

so upset I could type a book here. not going to complain about calls, we got a few, but I'd like to see some stats on pitt home vs away. 113yds to 20 is a little off. Not that the goal should be for the refs to make it match, but I was surprised at some of the no calls after the last few months of football I have seen.

What a let down with so many chances to win it. Right down to the last mins. Oh well, playoff hopes swirling down the bowl (most likely)..........
HAHA. Man you get so up in arms about everything in this thread. Im just playing around.

They played horrible today. It was a joke. 3 missed touchdown opportunitys.

Go eagles!

Well, I expected an 8-8 year from my beloved Dolphins and I was pretty close. Sucks that they dug themselves out of an 0-3 hole only to blow close games and miss so many opportunities (kinda sounds like the Ravens). I'm excited that it looks like Henne is the real deal and I think there's a nucleus for a legitimate contender next season. I'm even happier that they play the Ravens in Baltimore next year. I'll definitely be at the game.

At this point I so badly want the Packers to knock Minnesota out of the playoffs. Other than that I think Dallas is putting it together at the right time (along with GB) and the Pats are coming back into form. I don't think the no 1 seed from either conference goes to the Superbowl.

Not one TD against the Cowboys this season and not one win against a division opponent all season. This has been the worst Skins season I can remember from how bad the team sucked to all the dysfunction surrounding the team.

It was nice to see all those brand new Cowboys flags on every bandwagon never been to Texas douche this morning on the way to work too. You've never been to TX, the Cowboys don't care about you, you don't have family in TX, you are from (insert any town within 50 miles of DC) get over yourself.

Trust me, I am not up in arms at what you said. I was just pointing out that you didn't even give an hour for a Ravens fans to comment. I am up in arms about how poorly the Ravens played and had no problem expressing it. I take what is said on here lightheartedly but will poke back whenever I get the chance!!

Deion Sanders is an idiot, and I consider his opinion on football right up there with Matt Millen. Two of the worst color commentators on football ever. Millen ran the Lions into the ground, then they ran him out of town, who the **** cares what he has to say. Deion sanders should still be lucky to have a job, period. NFL anchors/commentators are a joke, except for maybe Eisen.

I am not saying this because I think any of the 8-8 teams will make it, or because I am rooting for the Steelers. I am saying this because if the Saints loss to the Bucs, or the Steelers making it in 05 from 6th seed wildcard to superbowl champs, anything is possible. Any team can have a bad week. It is wide open. Personally, I think it might be a year for the Saints, and I hope they do win.

"any given sunday"
Only thing I disagree with is Deon. Ccome on... Neon Deon an idiot??? You mean the same guy who sued his neighborhood H.A. to allow him to put up a privacy fence, claiming his celebrity status warranted a waiver so he could protect his family, and when he won prompltly put a chrome sign on his front gate that read "SHOWTIME"? That Deon?? no way he is an idiot!

^^I wouldnt be too excited man...that game today was horrible. The ravens are so bad, that Russel was moving the ball, and he got benched last season for being terrible! I highly doubt the ravens will make it past next week, unless they really pull some kind of school-yard bull.

Too bad the eagles will be going to the super bowl
