If the Ravens get this 1st down it's good night Irene. And they just got the 1st down. Good night Irene.

Only when Baltimore knew the game was in the bag and they played softer. He didn't do one single thing in the 1st half and that's the difference in the game. Steelers were never a threat to win this game. Russell Wilson was a product of that all time defense in Seattle. Once that broke apart, he was exposed.
This was the rare case of a 28-14 game that was not as close as the score indicated.

Both games were very bad today. Product of how far apart the non division winners are. LAC, Pitt aren't good teams. I expect Buffalo to roll over Denver. Broncos have a good defense so they can keep it maybe a little close but no way they will win on the road with Nix. Next week in the AFC divisional round should be very good.

ravens run for 299.
that'll win you some playoff games.
This is what Baltimore has been missing during Lamar's time here. A run game to wear down the defense. I believe it was the drive to go up 14, it was an 85yd drive. Believe it was 11 straight runs. This will demoralize the opposing defense and wear them down. That was ballgame at that point.

Mahomes is not even close to the best quarterback of all time. I put him like number 10 or 11. He just has the best franchise.
in Dallas, he probably wouldn’t even have one ring
Hmmm funny, Reid was in KC how long before Mahomes got there and they won what exactly? Reid was seen as nothing but a playoff choke artist until Mahomes came along. To downplay Mahomes and just say he's a product of a franchise (who hasn't won a thing since the 60s) is pretty hilarious. Since Mahomes has took over as the starter, has been to 6 straight AFC title games and 4 Super Bowls. 3 rings in 6 seasons.

That Ravens GM kicked the snot out of the Steelers GM. That Steeler GM must really suck. Yinzer Nation will be screaming to fire that loser GM.

Tomlin has become the new Jason Garrett of this decade. Both sides need to just move on...Tomlin can go to another team and probably have success. The Steelers need a new coach and identity

Dallas beat Pitt at home. That tells me all I need to about Pitt. All smoke and mirrors. They had a big head start and Baltimore still won that division after they started 0-2.

Pitt is nearing Dallas Cowboys territory after they won their 1995 Super Bowl. They won a Super Bowl in 2008. Tomlin is living off that season. Now, 8 years straight of zero playoff wins.

Tomlin = Mike McCarthy. Success a long time ago but now, absolutely nothing.

Did he set that against the Cowboys? I remember him going off on Dallas in the playoffs one year. May have been 1985
That was a hard game to watch. I didn't know he got the record on that day. I remember the Jaguars rushing for 375 yards against the Colts, but I don't think any single back got over 200.

The Tomlin era needs to end in Pittsburgh. He's had a lot of loyal fans there but even they have now started calling for him to be let go.

Steelers no longer have an identity. Tomlin gets about 4-5 weeks out of his players every season that saves his butt but then they just stop playing hard. It's time. Dude has been their coach for nearly 20 years, Super Bowl win is nearly two decades ago, 3 playoff wins since 2013, one title game since 2016. He's never getting them back to a Super Bowl.
