Divisional Round: Sat, Jan 15 @ 4:30 ET feat. BAL @ PIT

I hate to be cocky with any games involving the Ravens, but I really like them in this spot, for a variety of reasons.  I don't think this is a 3-point win.

Ravoons it is.

Not scared.  From what I saw today KC was doing some things until Haley decided to turn a fourth and inches into a fourth and 7 by running a toss sweep.  All downhill from there for KC, with not a little help from the zebras.

Couldn't agree more.  I thought the Ravens looked average and the Chiefs flat-out stunk.  It'll be another typical slobberknocker snot-bubble PG-13 slugfest bloodbath...but the Steelers are a better team and should win the game.

But I'm not quite THAT confident!  If it was the same team in every way with a different symbol on the side of the helmet, I'd say Steelers +7.  But since these are the only two teams in the NFL that honestly and sincerely hate each other, I'll say that it'll be close.

Not as confident as some, but I think we win. The Chefs looked like hell on a stick and alot of the Ravens offense was checkdown->> Chefs miss tackles--> 10 yard gain. Don't see Timmons, Farrior, Troy, etc. missing as many tackles as they did.

Hopefully we can expose that fading run defense much like the Chefs did in the first half. Run Mendenhall outside please.

Ho-boy...I agree.

Fuck.

Just read an article about Terrell Suggs' take on the game:

Starting to get that same knot in the old gut, that utter spite for the Birdies and that stupid beak on the side of their helmets. 

If we lose to NE, it'll suck.  But we've been there before.  Just don't lose to the damn Ravens.

My biggest pet peeve from WC Weekend: the Terrell Thuggs celebration.

First of all, Fatface's teeth are like 2 mm. long.  It's like he grew up chewing on logs or something and ground them all to nubs.

He makes a play, and proceeds to take about 10 slow and deliberate steps into the KC backfield before doing his pose and preen shit.  It's the little promenade action that drove me nuts.  The visor.  The 2 mm. teeth.  The promenade.  Flexing. 

I home Kemoeatu "accidentally" falls on him and snaps a fib.

Terrell Suggs is to talking, what Stephen Hawking is to walking.

The anti-Shannon Sharpe.

Chiclets are so 2003.  Tic Tacs are making a comeback in 2011.

The anti-Shannon Sharpe.

Speaking of Sharpe...once a dumass Ravoon, always a dumass Ravoon.  He's as stoopit as Jamaal Lewis.

I keep wanting Cowher to jump up and get in his face and start spitting on him.

[Finnegans Wake]

Well, looks like one tooth ain't all ground the hell down.

I could have sworn Cowher was gonna just reach over and punch a chiclet down Sharpe's gizzard after the one post-game.  Forget what they were talking about, and I was trying to mute the braying.  Cowher just looked pissed.
