What to say?
September 12th 2011 20:37
The Baltimore Ravens beat the snot out of the Pittsburgh Steelers. There is nothing else to say. No silver linings. Just an old-fashioned beatdown. The Steelers were outcoached, out played, out hit, out worked, and outclassed in every single phase of the game. They had no answer to Ray Rice. To answer to the swarming defense. Ben went into "Ben mode" and basically started throwing the ball up for anyone's grabs; he's lucky he didn't throw 6 picks.
This one is on the coaches. How a team is that unready to play is nearly unforgiveable. I know that the Ravens are a good team, but Pittsburgh made them look unstoppable. I know the Steelers are better than they showed but the Ravens took advantage of them.
The good part for Pittsburgh is that there's only one direction to go - up. But taking a licking like that is going to sting for a while. And maybe, if you want a silver lining, that's a good thing. Maybe the sting of getting your butt handed to you by your hated rival will force you to get better, dig deeper, whatever.
All I know is that today's film sessions were probably very VERY uncomfortable.
