Surprisingly entertaining game out of Pittsburgh, where the Ravens impressed me more in a 23-20 road loss than they had in their previous two wins. Quick points...> Joe Flacco looks like a QB, and LeRon McClain is a beast of a fullback. In 2-3 years, the Ravens might have something special... but only if they add a mess of skill players, especially at wideout and tight end. Derrick Mason can't last forever, Mark Clayton looks lost, and Todd Heap is absolutely spent.Oh, and Flacco's got to be quicker at getting rid of the ball, and not holding it so long that he gives up fumble sack touchdowns. That was huge.> Pittsburgh ended the game with one healthy running back (Mewlede Moore). Baltimore has that effect on people.> Rashard Mendenhall's day while subbing for Willie Parker: 9 carries for 30 yards, 1 catch for 6, and a fractured shoulder that will land him on the IR. The only thing that is keeping me from an epic whiff on the fantasy value of Parker is health.> The Raven...

WELCOME BACK, NAJEH
As expected, the Steelers brought back RB Najeh Davenport today, and they will also add RB Gary Russell back to the active roster after a stint on the practice squad. If any more running backs are injured, I'm guessing Duce Staley's number is next on the call-back list. Davenport played two seasons in Pittsburgh, rushing for 499 yards on 107 carries (4.7 YPC) and adding five touchdowns...

Second helping of last night's crow
More thoughts following last night's loss to the Steelers.
Coaches don't get fired for electing to receive
The Ravens should have gone for two. I said it last night, even before the Ravens hit 19 on the scoreboard, and of course today my opinion remains unchanged. Why leave it up to a coin toss, which even if you win, which of course we did, doesn't do anything about the fact that you've got a rookie QB on the road? Punch it in, right then and there. End it and get the hell back to Baltimore...
Steelers Pull Out Late Overtime Win 23-20 Over Ravens
So the Steelers won the game Monday night against a tough Ravens team, but they also lost something as well. Players. The game was a defensive struggle, as expected, but our defense won out. LaMarr Woodley and James Harrison both had tremendous outings, as well as the rest of the defense. Harrison is a beast [...]

Write One Preston Article, May As Well Write 1,000
Not 10 minutes after finishing the last post on Mike Preston and his Raven's writing, he gives me fodder for yet another. This blog will not be an anti-Preston ranting ground, but today he just seems to be asking for it.
In his just-posted Q&A column (hmmma?? another 'bullet point' piece?), Preston has a lot of [...]

If you walk in the rain you can’t be surprised when you get wet. Playing divisional rival Baltimore is usually that predictable. Rarely does a Pittsburgh vs Baltimore game end up as a walk in the park for the winner.
Coming into the week I was confident of a Pittsburgh victory. However [...]

The Ravens lost a heartbreaker in Pittsburgh, coming oh-so-close to handing the Steelers their first Monday Night home loss since 1924 (or something like that).A They dominated for roughly 80% of the 4-plus quarters, leading 13-3 at halftime, and allowing something like 60 yards of offense by the Steelers for the first 38:10.A At that [...]
