Ravens: Hard to watch
It's hard to believe that the Ravens have put themselves into the situation they are in at the end of the first half. If they don't get overanxious and jump offsides inside the Steelers' five, there's no way Ben Roethlisberger risks that long pass that put the Steelers into position to score one of the most disturbing one-minute-wonder touchdowns you're going to see.
The two big plays both exposed the Ravens secondary. Frank Walker was out-classed on the long third-down pass and Dwan Landry overplayed Santonio Holmes off the blitz to surrender the touchdown.
Now, somebody is going to have to explain to me why the Ravens keep calling time outs deep in their own territory and then running the ball. What, are they trying to see if they can fumble it away and give up another score?

If there was ever a time to NOT jump offside, that would be it. Frustrating. I have some nice, soft slippers that I nearly put through the wall on that one.

I hope the Ravens find some way to win this game just to stick it to the REFs, I am really getting tired of watching games decided by the so called officials rather than the teams playing...of course it would help if the Ravens didn't pull the stupid cheap shots right in front of the Zebra...

I knew it. It's the refs fault. Just watch the plays and see that every single penalty was deserved. Maybe if your wide receiver doesn't drop an easy pass in the endzone. Blame it all on the refs; typical of Ravens players and fans. Here's some advice: Get rid of Frank Walker.

If you didn't see the blatant penalties on both those plays you are not only a purple kool aid drinker, you're also blind and a football moron. Maybe if your wide receiver can catch a pass wide open in the endzone. Maybe if fat boy Fizzle Bleach Suggs could make a play or two. Maybe if you didn't have a total inept high schooler like Frank Walker....enough with the ref whining. You lost; get over it.

The Ravens were pitiful today. That is offensively. The defensive was great. Harbaugh is the worst coach in the NFL for managing the clock. Every time the QB was sacked he was going long for the end zone. What happen to the short throws that were successful earlier. In my opinion the game was a disgrace.

Like I said already, this has to be the most embarrassing loss for the Ravens this season. To have over 100 yards in penalties in week 16 of the NFL season is just unexcusable. It only shows the lack of discipline from this team that has been taught by the coach and coaching staff. Also after the play of Frank Walker, I'll bet that Harbaugh wished he put his pride down and resigned Chris McCalister.
