Steelers kicked to curb

no no no kind sir. You must don't understand what "Technically" speaking means.
Rex Ryan called the dumbest timeout ever sure, BUT, the NFL Rule book states clearly that ONLY the head coach can make a timeout call from the sideline, billick did NOT make the call. The refs later apologized to the Ravens for admitting they didn't even bother to see who actually called the timeout. Billick even went so far as to apologize for not protesting it further since he himself did not want a timeout called.
Hence my originally point, RAVENS beat the cheatriots.

What are you the color police? Dingdong. The purples are a last place team and can only dream of the success enjoyed by the Steelers.Dream on douchey.
You clearly are looking at the world through purple bird feathered lenses. Hines' hit was a perfect block. Knocked that chump reed out!! I love to watch it on youtube.
We split the series because the last game was meaningless for the Steelers. We were already in the post season.
Ward had a knee injury and the coaches rested him. You are silly little man if you think Ward is afraid of anyone on the field. He is one of the toughest football players in the league.
What a homer your are to think that any Steeler is afraid of anyone on a last place team! The mighty Steelers are the bullies of the AFC north. Get used to it. Chump.
LET'S GO BLACK AND GOLD!!!!!

<quoted text>2nd game-
No Ben
No Parker
No Ward
Holmes played sparringly
No Polamolu
Defensive starters gone by 3rd qtr.
Conclusions-
Ravens wanted to win this game bad to stop the slide. Steelers would like to have won, but the playoffs were more important. Ravens 2nd and 3rd stringers may be better than Pittsburghs 2nd and 3rd string. The first game due to what was at stake, is a much better barometer of where these teams were.
Please stop trying to pretend that Pittsburgh put fourth the same effort to win as they did in the first game. Ravens were heavily injured but were not decimated due to the fact that the team lacks star power in the first place.

Typical Steelers fan. Whine about your MIA players, when our entire team was out most of the season. So the first game was the barometer? You consider Ben throwing TDs against 2 rookie cornerbacks a measuring point? Both of our starting corners were out smart guy...it's funny how when you win it's a good measure. But when the teams played evenly, both w/ starters missing, that's not fair to the Squeelers.
The sad fact of the matter is both teams will probably stink this year, b/c both of them will have awful O-lines.

<quoted text>technically equals reality. The reality is they had a "L" in the loss column. Morally, they won the game in their hearts.

I blame Ryan, I blame billick, and I blame the defense for having a meltdown afterwards.

Hmmm...
Ravens vs. Steelers last 9 head-to-head meetings (dating back to 12/2003)
Ravens record 6-3.
We especially own you in our house, just like the Jags own you in your house - HAHA!

As Prostrate Rob pointed out you are living in the past dude. The teams have both changed dramatically since 2003. What are you freeze-dried? Stick with program 2 seasons ago you guys went to the playoffs and swept the Steelers. Last season we went to the playoffs and crushed the ravens (discounting the last meaningless game of course). Here's where it might be difficult for you so stay with me...This season both teams are 0-0 and the Steelers are looking to field a better team...spells trouble in purple bird land that's for sure.
Boller, Boller, Boller! We love that guy.
LET'S GO BLACK AND GOLD!!!!

LOL!! The Ravens' only hope in the division rests with Troy Smith. The Purple-Headed Chicken-Chokers always try to emulate the Steelers, so they'll keep thinking a big, strong-armed guy is the key to beating them, but in fact it's always been the quick, little Jeff Blake-type dudes that have given the Steelers the most trouble.

As a coach, I can tell you the buck stops with me. It's my team, my responsibilty. Billick gets the blame whether it's his fault or not, but hey, water under the bridge. He's collecting 8M at his new house on the eastern shore. Don't we all wish we were that lucky...ha..ha

I feel ya, but Bart scott and Rolle had no business acting like fools during and after the game though, as much as I hate billick he had nothing to do with that.

I see you really don't know what Technically speaking means, so i'll leave it at that. Morals have nothing to do with this.

The Raven's had a lot of "moral" victories last year,lol, like the infamous Brown's field goal. While "technically" the field goal was good, the field referee ruled it no good and that should have been it. The Head Referee violated league rules and used the instant replay to look at the call on the sideline and reversed the call on the field. The game should have been over and then the Browns could have complained about a bad call,lol. That game and the NE game were two games where "blown calls" by the officials actually decided the outcome of a game versus just changing the outocme of a series. But hey, it's the NFL,**** happens!
