As he listened to quarterback Joe Flacco speak to reporters and waited his turn at the podium after his team's 30-27 comeback victory Sunday against Arizona, Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh stole a couple of quick glances at a corner television, which was tuned in to the Steelers-New England game.

For the rest of this week, there will no ambiguity to where the focus lies.

While always entertaining linebacker Terrell Suggs may have been overstating things slightly when he guaranteed that the "whole NFL shuts down just for that game," there is no question that the Ravens-Steelers prime-time showdown Sunday night at Heinz Field not only will add another chapter to arguably the league's most intense rivalry, but it could go a long way in determining the winner of the AFC North.............

The Ravens tried to say the right things after their 28-point beat down of the Steelers Sept. 11 -- their largest margin of victory in the 34-game series -- because they knew that Pittsburgh would bounce back and they would have to go through them again this season, this time at Heinz Field.

You wouldn't think so the way they acted after the game and how they responded the week after. They thought they didn't have to worry about the Steelers for the rest of the year.

I hope we kick their ass by 50 points.

The Steelers questioned whether that was the case after what they believed was an attempt by the Ravens to embarrass them in the first meeting between the two teams. The Ravens went for a two-point conversion to make it 29-7 early in the third quarter, and Flacco threw the ball to the end zone with a 32-7 lead late in the fourth quarter. The Steelers defensive line also accused the Ravens of throwing chop blocks.

Safety Ryan Clark has been one of the more outspoken Steelers, making reference to Harbaugh raising his arms exhorting the crowd and several Ravens dancing on the sideline in the later stages of that game.

There's going to be a Raven beat down on Sunday.

None of this should come as a shock to anyone. The Rats have been a classless organization since inception...even the way Modell snuck them out of Cleveland was a disgrace. They don't know how to lose, make excuses without giving the opposition any credit, aren't gracious when they win, and are generally just trashy. Maybe it has something to do with the city of Baltimore being so tacky itself, who knows? Regardless, they are the trailer trash of the NFL (and the Bengals are their barefoot and pregnant third cousin wives), and I hope the Steelers beat them 75-0. Fuck the Ratfilths.

This is a team that produces fans in the mold of Tim Lumber aka Limp Timber. Classless is an understatement for both the team and it's fans.

I just hope the Steelers remember the beatdown they took in week 1. I hope they come on the field on Sunday pissed off.

Let's not all degenerate to the level of some of the Raven fans (or their coach! lol) We just slew a dragon of our own and probably weren't exactly respectful in our comments about the Pats. The Steelers have been the Raven's thorn just like the Pat's were ours. I don't like em' but I'm surely not going to discount what they are capable of doing if we aren't ready for them.

On another note...I heard Suggs on Sirius today hoping and begging Hines to be ready to play, make sure he has his big smile ready and to make sure he's suited up and ready to go. They don't want us to play without our stars, they want their chance to beat us at our best. I think there is a begrudging respect and I don't think they expect to have the same lopsided game like the opener.

It would be a big game even if it was a scrimmage. Both teams know what's at stake.
