About the Ravens game, the Steelers beat the Ravens. The Ravens lost because the offensive gameplan totally stunk, Joe Flacco threw two critical interceptions, the offense did not capitalize with points when the defense caused turnovers. I'm not whining, I'm going to tell you the facts, the Steelers beat the Ravens fair and square.
The officials made a dumb call, in the rules there is a rule called roughing the kicker, where the punter punts the ball and afterwards a player from the opposing team throws a cheap shot, shoves, or tackles the punter. Well, the Steelers punted and afterwards a Ravens player fell down, and the punter happened to bring his kicking foot accidentily on the Ravens player. They gave the Ravens the penalty which gave the Steelers fifteen yards of progress and a first down. Also, the Steelers safety Ryan Clark laid a helmet to helmet hit on Willis McGahee which is illegal and McGahee was carted off the field.
The announcers for CBS were Phil Simms and Jim Nantz who were biased against the Ravens like crazy, did not follow the game half the time, and didn't question the referees when they made a questionable call. Instead, talked about the Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin's mom and shows on CBS. When the Steelers made a play they praised them like gods, but when the Ravens made a play, they acted like it was a fluke. Remember, I'm telling the facts of the game. I'm not angry or upset.
This has been PB-32

What a hard loss. It was painful to see the replays on NFL.com. I was impressed with some of the passing and the two touchdown runs by the Ravens seemed to be well executed. However, the enduring image of the game was the Flacco throw that was intercepted and run back for a touchdown for the Steelers. That is probably what will stick in most people's minds for days to come.
I wonder if things would have been different if the games was at the Raven's home stadium.
Great post, thanks for your reporting Paul!
