This game Sunday is going to come down to how well Flacco plays...

[Black@Gold Forever32]

Here's how to win this game:

1. We have to come out playing with urgency. When was the last time you saw this team play with some real urgency?

2. We have to stop the run and make Flacco have to carry the offense.

3. We have to put pressure on Flacco and make him move around and not just stand there going thru his progressions. If we can get that push up the middle of the pocket, we can make Flacco move around and show the cornball he really is and throw his interception to the safety like he normally does.

4. We need to have one trick play in this game at the appropriate time. Again, we need to do this because we neeeeeeed this win in a big way. And if this play is done at the opportune time, it could win the game.

These are the 4 things we need to do to pull this one out.

Agree on all 4 points......I would also say field position is going to be real important in this game....Special teams must give Lefty a short field to work with or finally have a TD return not called back due to penalty........

Make Flaccid beat you is the most important like you mentioned....If Ray Rice goes ape shit then the Steelers will have no chance......

Ravens did this??

ravens resigned Dixon so the steelers couldnt pick him up for sunday's game.

If I am Dick LeBeau, I am preparing not for a heavy dose of Ray Rice, but a heavy dose of no huddle. To this point, the Steelers have not been able to stop it. Dealing with Jamaal Charles last game was a great tune up to deal witgh Rice and his cutback runs. In order to stop Rice, the Steelers MUST stay home on the backside and take away Rice's cutback lanes.

If Flacco is on, this could be a tough afternoon.

John Harbaugh today at his conference call had a fit when asked if the Ravens indeed did sign Dixon just so the Steelers couldnt pick him up. What a little bitch Harbaugh is does he ever not piss and moan about something...

we just need flacco to turn the ball over.

If the rats have 3 turnovers or more and we have 0, we could come away with the win.

How bout we crush Focko and put him on the shelf for a few weeks.
Even it up a bit huh? But then again they have Tyrod Taylor who is
a decent backup and would run all over us. Maybe it's best Focko just
plays like shit and we steal one here at home.

Of course he did. And then he gets all pissed off when asked. I always say he is a dirty, underhanded, sneak who will cheat, steal, bitch, and cry his way to win a game. Friggin' meathead.

He really did this? I didn't hear anything from their sports station this week.....what a looser of a coach. That is so classless...They built their tram to compete and beat the Steelers, yet they get crushed in the playoffs.

Ray Rice will run all over Hoods side just like Charles did.

I wish I had Ray Rice on my fantasy team this week.

1. Not going to happen. Hasn't happened since???????????
2. Possible. I'm in the air on this one. K.C. looked decent all game running the ball.
3. Not going to happen. Hasn't happened at all this season.
4. Possible.
