Ravens Win 8, Steelers Win 3 -Since Steelers 2011 Super Bowl Loss. AKA: "Owned"

Here lately, Ben has been coming into important games with too little focus, and coming into unimportant games with too much focus. Wasting focus ...  

But seriously, theres a king of the AFC North, and it isn't the team that won it's 6 SB' ages ago.

Such a sad statistic. This team needs to get back to being bullies in the AFC North instead of the nancies I saw yesterday, getting bullied by an injury depleted Ratbirds squad, quarterbacked by giant diaper baby Ryan Mallett.

Here is another fun fact

Steelers have lost 7 of last 11 games against sub-.500 teams

I hate you.

Is this left over from the Ravens mid-season?

It's the ebb and flow of the rivalry. From 2007-2010, the Steelers were 7-3 against the Ravens, and 7-0 when Ben Roethlisberger played. All three of the Ravens' wins came at the expense of a backup QB.

That is such a bogus statistic, and people need to stop using it because it's taken so far out of context that it's meaningless. Last season, the Ravens started 0-1, but because the Steelers lost to them in Week 2, somehow that counts as losing to a team with a losing record even though the Ravens finished with a record of 10-6.

Here's the actual truth: Last season, the Steelers were 3-4 against teams with losing records, and this season they're 6-2 against teams that currently have losing records. Unfortunately, it still might not be enough, but it's an improvement nonetheless.

Bogus or not the Steelers beat writer for the Post-Gazette plans to write a story about the Steelers playing down to the level of bad teams

So, why does Pittsburgh play down to bad teams

Ray Fittipaldo: Funny you should ask that. That's what I'm writing about tomorrow. No one could offer great detail as to why, but they're sick of it happening and putting them in bad position for the playoffs. Read more in tomorrow's PG.

Is it true the Ravens hate the Steelers so much because they were owned so many years until recent years?

Absolutely. Both teams played the same style, but the Steelers always seemed to get the edge. It left a lot of Ravens fans with a lot of resentment. Also, back in the late 2000's, the players were may more into the rivalry than they are now, which definitely helped.
