Statistically, I would think they have an edge over the Patriots.

This isnt the same offense as the first game either, whats the chances that we will turnover the ball that much again.

If we utilize all our WR's, Ravens can't match up secondary wise. I would love to come out with three step drop passes and frustrate the hell out of the Ravens pass rushers. Then when their a bit tired, hitting them with a seven step drop pass and go deep.

No way we turn the ball over again like week 1. Ben is playing at an incredibly high level, the D is getting back to old from of stopping the run, the secondary is playing great, our receivers are geling and getting more comfortable with the offense, and BA has been calling some good games as of late.

I'm personally a little confident just because I feel like we've been gaining momentum the last few weeks, while they've been losing it. We'll see, anything can happen, but I feel like we are a completely different team than the one they played week 1. A lot of problems have been fixed, or at least patched up (Starks).

On a side note, I'm sooo effin pumped for this game.

Definitely no way we have that many turnovers this week, Ben has been outstanding at taking care of the ball over the last month and half. They still have to watch out for Ed Reed though, he loves to jump those underneath routes. Ben has to be careful to really scan the field when he does drop back. You have to be careful too with the quick routes and watch for the linebacker underneath.

Don't think the Steelers underestimate any opponent, particularly Baltimore.

This is what Steeldad was talking about in this thread before, the Ravens defense clearly was able to play better than the Patriots defense and for the first half they really shut down most of what Ben was trying to do with Wallace and Brown.

In the second half Ben was able to find his targets more and guys like Wallace, Brown, Heath, and Cotchery were finding ways to make plays. Credit all around for the offense to come back and score 2 TD's in the second half and really be able to move the ball better.
