Baltimore got some real lucky breaks against Tenn and I think their corners are suspect. I don't think they beat Pittsburgh at Pittsburgh.
Lucky? They forced 3 turnovers...I'm sure cheers of Ravens fans channeled all the luck in the universe and willed them to win.
Oh, when you have Ed Reed back there you corners can be suspect not that their corners are as suspect as you think.

How is it that SD couldn't get to Ben? Philly was all over him earlier in the season and even the lowly Redskins pass-rush got 4 sacks on him.

The Steelers have a decent OL, when the playoffs arrive is all about who's the hungriest team. Just look at the Cardinals, they stunk up the joint from Thanksgiving until the playoffs arrived.

This guy is a little over confident:

I hope the Cardinals kick their ASS!!

Probably just wishful thinking but I believe Ben is just a monster hit or two away from losing his effectiveness. I was just very surprised SD didn't target him especially after the serious concussion... Ray-Ray and the Ravens will do everything they can to put Ben on the turf.

Your right it was not Joe Buck. It was who ever was partnered with Phil Simms during that game.?.?
It was Jim Nantz.

3-2 against the remaining teams in contention...I think it just shows that we can play with the best of them, but not consistently...
3-0 against NFC championship teams
0-2 against AFC championship teams
In fact, 7-5 against NFC overall and 1-3 against AFC overall.
Maybe we could petition the NFL for no games against AFC?

Why do you wish that?

The Steelers have a decent OL, when the playoffs arrive is all about who's the hungriest team. Just look at the Cardinals, they stunk up the joint from Thanksgiving until the playoffs arrived.Even more importantly, most of the playoff winners this post-season have been dictated by who got the steadier QB play. Eli was terrible yesterday, and Delhomme was categorically worse on Saturday.

Were those teams any good when you played them?
