Best words to hear as a Steelr fan. "It's Ravens week". This is going to be yet another classic. Hopefully Pittsburgh pullsi t off and moves on.

I really cant remeber, but did Troy play in the Pats game? It would be very different if he was out during that game.

Played, thinking that he didn't. Pats are a bad matchup for the steelers any way you look at it.

My Thoughts
Close, low scoring, lots of defense, basically what everyone on NFL network said. 16-13 Baltimore in OT.

Anyone seen the new Old Spice commercial with RayLew riding a jet powed raven and destroying Saturn?

They better have given the Nanooks a royalty for this...

I am hoping for Packers vs. Bears in Soldiers Field for a trip to the SB myself but looking forward to Jets vs Patriots tomorrow as well. Should be a good game today-Go Pitt!

I don't have a horse in the race but I always live watching these teams play. Defense, to me, is what football is all about. Woodley bringing the wood makes the difference: Pitt 17, Ravens 10.

And Taylor headbutts Houshmanzadeh, and nothing gets called. Chill, the officials aren't hosing anybody.
In full disclosure... go Ravens.

3 gold stars to anyone who knows who Bradlee Van Pelt is. That's without googling him. He now offers expert coverage of the games on Sky Sports in the UK.

PS I didn't know that the NFL was on in the UK. Is it mostly for expats or has this annual gamein Wembly acutally paid off for the league?

Like Cheesehead said Colorado State QB from a couple of years back. To justify this post he's also the son of Brad Van Pelt LB for MSU back in the day, died of a heart attack two-ish years ago. Grew up with/was kinda friends with my mom too, as a random personal side note

Like you all soda correctly he was the Colorado State QB and broke many records. He was in the NFL for a few years but never got any significant game time. He moved to play with the Leicester Falcons in the UK an I was able to way h him play. He was an absolute beast playing against guys who would struggle to make it against decent high school teams. Btw American football is the fastest growing sport in the UK

God damn Ryan Clark. I never liked him. He always whiffs on open tackles and only seems to make "big hits" on defenseless recievers, and just there might have taken Taylor our of the game. Ugh.

Mendenhall
I know there is an obvious disparity in speed from College to Pros, but doesn't it seem that Mendenhall is as explosive as once was when at Illinois? Plus, he really doesn't have great vision and reading ability. I wonder if that is a product of playing in a read option offense, or the fact that he is pretty mediocre.

Yeah, from a production stand point he has done well these last two seasons. It just seemed like he was more of a "homerun threat" in college. He has become more of a buirser.

Beat the Ravens so John Harbaugh will leave his successful NFL team at the drop of a hat and come here to work as our DC!
