Week 1.....35 -7 RAVENS at the BIG CRAB CAKE.....STEELERS 7 Turnovers. STEELERS Twitter TIMELINES went something like this...What are WE DOING....What STEELERS TEAM is this.....Man we look OLD and VULNERABLE.....WE will not go anywhere playing like this.

Coach MIke TOMLIN...That was an AWFUL PERFORMANCE...WE will look at the TAPE...WE will make the necessary Adjustments and Move On. The STEELERS win GAME 2 of the SEASON....Coach TOMLIN....It wasn't pretty but we WOn the GAME...but it will take us a while to get the STINCH off of us from that RAVENS LOSS.

Fast Forward...WEEK 9.....STEELERS 6-2 a top the AFC NORTH.....that OLD DEFENSE....#2 In the LEAGUE...that Turnover Prone Offense led by one BIG BEN ROETHLISBERGER....like BLAZING SADDLES....Offensive LINE Improved.....Cash Money Recieving Corp led by DA KID Mike WALLACE....his FAST has FAST but his FAST is WAY FASTER than your FAST because he might be the FASTEST in the NFL....something like that.

Now the WEEK 9 ReMatch that everyone in WESTERN P A has been waiting for since September 11 2011....RAVENS WEEK. Speaking of the RAVENS.....SAme old DEFENSE led by 79 Year Old Ray LEWIS who was the 1st BROWN DRAFTED in CLEVELAND then came onto BALTIMORE when the TEAM moved to CHARM CITY.

REAL TALK....the RAVENS are not what they were in WEEK 1. They have struggled to find themselves a GROOVE Offensively and QB Joe FLACCO looks like that KID in the CLASS ROOM that has all that Potential but keeps getting BAD MID TERM GRADES. And for some reason they have went away from their 2 best Offensive WEAPONS...WR Anquan BOLDIN and RB Ray RICE.

I don't care who is playing at LINEBACKER for the PIITSBURGH STEELERS on SUNDAY if the RAVENS don't get RICE heavily involved in the OFFENSE SUNDAY...the STEELERS will return that UGLY FAVOR they owe B-MORE.

The STEELERS on the other hand are starting to find their IDENTITY and a COACH TOMLIN Ball Club in the past has always started to play well middle to late in the SEASON. this marks the 5th time in a row the STEELERS have started a season 6-2...and every odd year they don't do well after 8 games played. It;s not that the BLUEDUDE buys into those theories just saying sometimes the BLACK and WHITE don't lie.

The STEELERS D will be without 3 of its starting 4 LINEBACKERS. SAME DRILL....we have no excuses and we will lineup and play the game like every other team in the NFL. I know this the STEELERS have the BEST Secondary as a WHOLE in the NFL and it is much improved which has helped the Front 7 do their JOBS more effectively.

TALE of the TAPE

the SKINNY......the RAVENS and STEELERS renew their acquaintances once again and this time it is for the AFC NORTH Lead. With the RAVENS having beat the STEELERS already in WEEK 1...the STEELERS have NO CHOICE but to WIN this one. It will come down to if the RAVENS can STOP the New AIR ATTACK of the STEELERS. For the RAVENS it will be on QB Joe FLACCO...How will he fare a new look STEELERS D from a Personnel Standpoint.

WINNER: STEELERS going away and they will put the RAVENS in their RIGHTFUL PLACE in the AFC NORTH.....on the OUTSIDE looking at HEINZ KETCHUP BOTTLES
