Well I hope Bell sits out this game. Steelers are playing the Ravens and the Ravens are the dirtiest team. They would try their best to end Bell's career.

Ugh, my two favorite teams are playing each other!!! LOVE my Cowboys, but I live in the Detroit area. Should be a great game with some outstanding individual players. I was hoping they would match up in the second round because then i would have a better chance of getting one of them to the dance. As it stands now, I think the Cowboys are on FIRE, and they have enough talent that they may make it to the SB.

Dallas at home... humm.

Even still all I see is dallas is favored.

According to ESPN Dallas is the only sweep of all pickes... the Colts v Bangles seems is even split. So that may be the game to watch!

But I do hope Dallas wins big. the way they have been playing all season they are just a good a chance as any to go all the way.

Oh yeah the big bad cheap shot Ravens. I loved it when Hines Ward used to get inside these guys heads with a block and his wicked smile. I sure hope one of the Steelers o-linemen knock Terrell Suggs on his ass a few times. He tries to talk you out your game. It's gonna be a slugfest but I'm confident in my Steelers for this game.

Yeah loved Hines Wards hits on the Ravens. Also loved that stiff arm that Brown gave towards the Ravens

Steelers are really missing Bell. Down 20-9.

well maybe now it is a game!

guess not

The Steelers may have missed Bell tonight but their redzone offense didn't do them any favors in the first half settling for 3 field goals. The biggest reason for the loss though was the Steelers lack of pressure on defense and the secondary poor pass defense. Mike Mitchell sucks to high hell. Dude is never in position and he just live for the big hit. Worst free agent signing of the offseason.

Didn't watch the game (had to work) but yeah I would guess secondary sucked big time. Well Ravens will lose next week against the Pats.

The Ravens converted 3rd and longs with ease. The defense had them 3rd and 14 backed on their goal line to start the second. half and couldn't hold. I believe the Ravens scoref on every 2nd half possession except the final when the Steelers blocked a punt through the end zone. Long weekend. Back to the offseason and training camp.

Steelers need everything on secondary (CB/Safety) and a new punter.

Rooting for the Colts now, but I still think the Patriots will win the AFC.

Well maybe Bell would not have alot of running yards, but is a big threat when Ben throws him the ball.

The Steelers really missed his presence last night. I'm not sure if he would have run the ball all over the Ravens, but they would have to had respected him in the backfield, which would have drawn the secondary off Antonio Brown, which would have opened up the offense. Instead, the Ravens basically palyed zone all night and let their front four put pressure on Big Ben.

But in the end it was the right call not to play Bell. The Ravens would targeted Bell's knee (Spearing him) and trying to end his career because the Ravens are dirty. I can already picture John Harbaugh speech to the team "OK let's take out Bell for good, don't worry about penalties and any fines I'll pay. Let's also get Ben out too, we broke his nose and jaw last time but let's go for the final blow"

Lions got robbed big time.

Meanwhile, "America's Team" (so called) vs. the defending SB Champs... ching, ching$$$. This the type of ish conspiracy theorists THRIVE on. SMH, it'll be hard for me to give a f*#@ after that robbery yesterday

So...................when is the draft again??? April???

Lions got robbed? Because the defender was pulled forward by a facemask on that pass interference overturn?

Not only that, why wasn't Dez Bryant hit with a penalty for coming on the field to complain about a call?

NFL refs are as bad as NBA refs.

Just heard on WFAN....the NFL has admitted the flag should have not been picked up on that play.

Not happy about the Ravens win, would much rather play Denver at home so I could watch Peyton squirm like a little bitch!

Now I'm afraid it's going to be my beloved Brady squirming

The Lions were robbed..............PERIOD. That said, they still had their chances and could not make a play.

If Suggs plays like he did against Pittsburgh, it'll be a long afternoon in Foxboro.

Cowboys fan (Lions too, but Cowboys first) here. How were they robbed? What do you think about the face mask? Or the Delay of Game? Or the 10-Yard punt? No flag on Detroit for bumping the kicker on a different series? Dallas having a touchdown brought back on a holding penalty?

Lions weren't robbed. The Lions getting PI on an underthrown ball to a reciever who pulled on the facemask of the defender would have been a tragedy.
