Steelers! Ravens! Sleet! Freezing Rain! Snow! Open Thread!

So they’re saying the weather might make this an even uglier game than expected. I’m not anticipating much in the way of scoring here but perhaps it’ll end up being entertaining in other ways.

To The Game!

Steelers/Ravens:

-Masonic Rules: Rudolph has done the unlikely-he’s been just good enough. Wins over Cincy and Seattle have Pitt in the position of being able to squirt into the post-season even if they lose. (if the stars align and that bakers dozen of rooster claws arrive in time)

-Baltimore’s lineup is doing a fine impression of a pre-season game what with so many staters out of the game. And who’s to say how many more get pulled at halftime?

-History would appear to favor the Steelers given that they’re 6-1 vs the Ravens since 2020.

-Back From the Scrap Heap: Mel Gordon will no doubt get the bulk of the carries as the game goes on. Remember when he was relevant?

-Speaking of, expect Pitt to sell out and stop that run game because they’ve been exposed by San Fran and Indy. Besides, no one is afraid of Bateman, Agholor and Treadwell.

-The O/U on this tilt is a sparse 34.5-tis folly to expect back-and-forth action.

-Drought: Should the Steelers get to the next stage don’t expect too much-they haven’t advanced in the playoffs since 2016.

-Fans Were Right: To Blame Canada. The running game has risen from the grave, Pickens is finally getting moved around/put in motion and the overall play-calling is a bit more imaginative.

Talk amongst yourselves.

I just realized this is shaping up for Mason Rudolph to Nick Foles a Superb Owl run, quit foobawl, and run for Congress.

Is the AFC North good, or… ?

All this did was confuse me more.

That is terrifyingly much larger than I expected.

Something Deanna Favre hasn’t said for decades?

Actual size.

Nice.

I couldn’t even see the ball on that field goal.

PIT should 100% take a knee and center the ball for the FG here.

Once this gets to two score margin, methinks Balmer can reasonably decide to raise the white flag.

People who face paint for a RAIN FIXTURE should be summarily executed. Protect teh gene pool.
