I'm going to have to predict a loss. In the modern era, the Ravens are a team that finds ways to lose. Here's an editorial someone posted over at the Sun boards, which speculates that the problem might be that Harbaugh can't control Flacco. Having been hugely paid, Flacco now knows the team has no choice but to play him, and he has become essentially uncoachable. The article makes a lot of sense to me, but I might think that because I'm biased to believe Harbaugh is losing control of the team and that could be false. (A coach who can't control the franchise quarterback essentially can't control anyone.) Editorial |

I'm not sure losing this game would do it. Losing next week to the Browns, who are well positioned to go 0-16 this year, might do it. But likely not until after the season. Organizations that fire their head coach mid season are dysfunctional; the season's a write-off (or you wouldn't be contemplating a firing), and a new HC midstream isn't going to fix it.
Of course, if the Browns do manage to beat them, that would be all the qualification Harbs needs to hire Hue Jackson away from them as a coordinator! (Look up what Cam Cameron did before he came here if you don't believe me).

A much needed win, and a new franchise record for longest completion (85 yards after the catch - getting YAC has been a problem for this team for years). However, the fact that the defense took the fourth quarter off is ominous. We'll call that the "Pees-vent defense". Against a better team, or Ben when he's not coming off surgery, that's not going to get it done.
Basically, they won this game because the Steelers played bad football, not because they played good football. Joe looked very ordinary. This kind of game play won't win against most of the rest of their opponents.

Good job ravens, like we say here. I'd you beat anyone, make the steelers be part of that.
But damn, Ben was off as was the whole team.
