Who gives a rat's ass about either one of these teams. If you want help with a pick, go to Pittsburgh or Baltimore and find some strangers to pick your butt.

I wasn't going to post in this little "cheer fest, call to arms" but the above pulled me from my "high horse". The above is absolutely incorrect. Everyone knew what the Browns meant to Cleveland and the division. The Rooney's clearly prefer continuity and the Browns moving disrupted that desire. Model was a moron for moving the Browns and giving you your "Ravens". As far as Saturday is concerned. Remind me what Ben's record is vs the Rat Birds and post back. I will say this it's the last match up I wanted at this juncture because it's going to be a PHYSICAL GAME and whomever goes on has to play Brady and his cheating ass Coach.Pittsburgh = rested and hopefully healthy. Spells trouble for Baltimore.
Not going to disagree, this game concerns me. Pissburgh has had the extra week of rest, and yes, we haven't been able to get over the hump against Rapistberger. But this is the NFL, and your next game is never predicated on the last game, or the game before that. This Saturday is a chance for the Ravens to get past this bump in the road known as the Steelers. And if you think the Rooney's voted against Modell because they wanted "continuity", you are sadly mistaken.

If it's not continuity then what was it? Enlighten me.

I can't stand either team...but like someone else said...I have a t shirt that reads I hate the Steelers. I hate the way things went down and how the team ended up in Baltimore and if any of those assclowns from the old aol board were here, I'd probably hate the Ravens as much as the Steelers but since I'm sick and tired of the asswipe pisspuke squeeler fans who are here day in and day out.....ahh..screw it..i'm not rooting for either team..i hope the game last for 6 hours and whoever wins gets the crap kicked out of it by New England the next week.
I'm rooting for the Packers or the Bears to win the super bowl.
-
its indicative enough that after baltimore lost their team, they had no problem stealing another citys team. i mean....come on....i have no sympathy for the criminals.
but i dont wann have to deal with steeler fans moving on....but i enjoy it more when they lose to the pats.
-
no...my point is that I hate the Steelers and I hate idiots like you who spend their time here. You assclowns really do have an inferiority complex...you can't live without our approval and it pisses you off that we still hate you no matter what happens. I can't imagine ever spending time on Steelers message board and certainly not in the week before a playoff game looking to see what fans of other teams are saying about my team. I hate the Steelers..I hate the Bengals and I hate the Ravens...I can't stand any of you...the difference is only gay steeler fans seem to need to hang out here to gain acceptance. Why else would you idiots be so offended when Zombo picks against you bozos every single week?
-
I hope Baltimore annihilates the Steelers! I wouldn't root for Pittsburgh if they were playing against Hitler.
-
Pittsburg is going to win. They are
- Well rested
- Home Field Advantage
- No critical injuries
- Have a better balanced offense. You guys have big name players in offense but I dont think that necessarily means that you have the better offense. Defense is still anyone's game.
Good luck in the playoffs.

Empathy for Baltimore?
I probably over analyzed this but here goes nothing. The Ravens were once the Cleveland Browns, their bastard owner relocated them, yet football returned to the shores of Lake Erie. Now that the stench of Modell is gone AND that Baltimore did let you keep your name, history, and colors, do you find this fan base --dare I say-- connecting with Baltimore's fan base on some level?
Losing a football team is never easy and I know Cleveland hated it but since you only waited 3 years (compared to Baltimore's 12) and that Baltimore had their heart broken once as well, is there a begrudging yet mutual respect and understanding between Cleveland and Baltimore? After all, they understood your pain
Please refrain from posting disparaging remarks, I only posed this question due to the remarks of the group members dealing with the upcoming playoff match up between the Ravens and Steelers.

Nope, it was soulless Art Modell who (wrongly) thought he could keep the team in the family by taking the Baltimore bribe (which wasn't offered by Baltimore fans) instead of doing the honorable thing and selling the team to Al Lerhner then and there. Lord knows, Al had the money.

Lerner WAS the Baltimore connection. He set up the deal.

Colt McCoy told Rothlesberger he is "pulling" for the steelers in the playoffs.
Someone better talk to him.

Ok ill take a stab at it, and im only speaking for myself here.
I don't hate Baltimore. Their fans had nothing to do with Art taking the team to their city, and if the tables were reversed we Clevelanders would give two sh*** and embrace any team that came to our city irregardless of where they came from.
And to take it one step further, I think that most Cleveland Browns fans are so utterly blinded and filled with hate for the Pittsburgh Steelers that hating anyone else as much or even approaching to hate ANY team as much will fall comparatively short.
I'll be the first to admit it, too. I think most Browns fans are jealous of the Steeler organization (though not many fans will admit it.) We hate that we can't beat you, we hate that you own us since we've came back, and every time you guys beat us it makes the hate that much more deep and intense. That's the truth.
Hating the Ravens just doesn't have the history or meaningful games behind it to produce any form of true hatred like we have for the Steelers. When that time comes, I think even still we will hate Pittsburgh more. It's just in our blood.

Show some respect, it's spelled P-I-T-T-S-B-U-R-G-H. Not any other name you put in front of the "burgh" part.
As for the "Rapistberger" comment...okay, you can have that one

You see, this is why Steeler fans get no respect here. You are completely uninformed. The Ravens were NEVER once the Cleveland Browns. The Browns franchise was retained right here....it was just inactive for a few years. A new Ravens franchise was created in Baltimore. The only thing that happened is that a few parts that used to be in Cleveland were moved to Baltimore.
That would be like saying that because a few boxes of napkins were borrowed by the Burger King franchise from the McDonald's across the street that the Burger King is now a McDonald's.

Baltimore didn't "let" us keep anything. Through a legal settlement, Cleveland "let" the new Baltimore franchise have those few parts.

I don't intend my remarks to be disparaging.....I intend them to be factually instructive to you.
I would only become disparaging if you fail to accept the truth of the facts.

You hit the nail on the head. Baltimore and Cleveland football fans have ALOT in common. They both share a proud history of football tradition, with franchises and players who helped make the NFL what it is today. The Hall of Fame is filled with players from Baltimore and Cleveland, even though the Hall continues to do us the ultimate injustice by placing the history of the Baltimore Colts under that of Indianapolis in Canton. Both cities lost their teams to greedy owners who completely mismanaged their respective franchises, in different ways of course. Irsay, from the mid-70's alienated everyone in the organization, its players, fans, even the city government. Modell completely mishandled the finances and got himself into the jam that led him to move the team. The one difference, was that the fans never turned on the team in Cleveland the way it did in Baltimore. Browns fans continued to sell out the Mistake by the Lake, no matter what was going on in the standings or front office. Either way, both cities had their hearts ripped out. The big difference, was that for 12 years the NFL did everything they could to keep football out of Baltimore, to the point that they gave freakin' Jacksonville an expansion team. Cleveland was promised a team as part of the agreement to let Modell complete the move to Baltimore, which took up residence in 1999.
The fact is, Baltimore and Cleveland fans, not the teams, but the fans, share similar football histories, with a few exceptions here and there. The other thing we have in common is that we both continue to play second fiddle to the Steelers. Yes, the Ravens have had more success against Shitsburgh then Cleveland, but we're only 12-20 in the regular season against them, and we haven't beaten Rottenberger since 2006. That trend has to end. Baltimore football teams are 0-4 against Pitt in the postseason all time. Hell, the Orioles are 0-2 against the Pirates in the postseason for God's sake. So we share a lot of the same feelings towards Pittsburgh, as our Cleveland counterparts for a lot of the same reasons.
That being said, this Saturday represents the best chance the Ravens have of reversing that trend. This is the most talented team we have ever taken into Pittsburgh, and they finally played a complete game against the Chiefs. It's time to get one against these idiots.
