Titans Please...

Can you do us Ravens fans a favor if we beat Pittsburgh on sunday, and you all win as well... And NOT rest your starters against Pitt the following week... Statistically speaking when you rest your players on the way to the playoffs you normally dont fare well...

Just look at the Steelers last year, rested their starters against baltimore and didnt get much of anywhere in the playoffs. It would make us Ravens fans really happy and I'll be sure to come back here with cookies or something after the game if you do, lol.

 

-Sincerely,

A Ravens Fan

Fisher has already said he plans to play 16 games

Assuming he means it, you should have nothing to worry about.

Steelers

If Fisher is dumb enough to throw starters out there against the Steelers in a potentially meaningless game, the Steelers will likely still win anyway. Their defense and their offense are better than Tennessee’s, especially if Willie Parker is healthy.

Sorry Matchz Malone, but your team is going to have to do what the rest of us are working to do: Win out.

Well first things first...

…you’re a douchecanoe.

Secondly, Their defense is on par with ours, but saying their offense is better is a bit of a stretch. They’ve played better lately, but their pass blocking offensive line against our D-line is an excellent matchup. If we stop the run and force them to throw then Big Ben is gonna be in a world of hurt.

by theologic on Dec 11, 2008 7:16 AM CST up reply actions  

Wow, you are seriously overrating the Titans defense, especially when you claim they are no par with the Steelers.

by KingRichard on Dec 11, 2008 9:54 AM CST up reply actions  

Agreed,

There is NO comparsin of these defenses. Steeler D is on fire. Also, may I remind the Tits that they LOST TO THE TEXANS last week! Deebo is going to break old man Collins down.

by Cdsumm on Dec 19, 2008 10:58 AM CST up reply actions  

Gee, thanks

Sorry but:

Ben Roethlisberger is better than Kerry Collins.
Steelers WRs better than Titans WRs
Steelers TEs better than Titans TEs
Steelers RBs on par with Titans RBs (when Steelers RBs are healthy, of course)

The one advantage Titans have is o-line, but the Steelers defense can demolish any o-line, especially with Harrison and Polamolu playing well.

And no, the Titans defense is not on par with the Steelers. The Steelers defense is better, period. Better d-line, better LBers, and better secondary.

Offensively the Steelers have better players

But they haven’t quite put it all together for every game all year have they? In this league it’s not always about the individual components.

The problem is that having good WRs, a good QB, and a good RB is of limited effectiveness when your QB is spending his time running for his life.

We’ll see what happens on that given Sunday. I am not saying we’re going to dominate them (though it’s possible), but you saying that they will likely win is ignorant (not that I am surprised). We’re 12-1 for a reason. The Steelers got dominated by Dallas for 3 quarters.

by theologic on Dec 11, 2008 11:05 AM CST up reply actions  

Hey Big Blue Shoe

I’ve never commented against you, Ive sat here and kept to myself. But honestly, Theologic had it right, you are a huge douchecanoe.

Im not going to argue that the Steelers have a better QB and WR group than the titans. BUT…. i do have a few statements to dispute:

Steelers TEs better than Titans TEs

Ok so Scaife has 50 receptions and 517 yards, Heath Miller has 32 and 364 and has looked absolutely invisible in games this year. Im not really sure how you can say with such confidence that steelers TEs are better than the Titans. Im not even sure who is the #1 TE in pittsburgh, i think spaith is better than heath and thats not saying much. Alge has been somewhat a dissapointment here but has been good in run blocking for the Titans.

Titans have better TEs, hands down.

Steelers RBs on par with Titans RBs (when Steelers RBs are healthy, of course)"

I wouldn’t even expect this out of your mouth. I am not even going to provide any factual information to back up that you are wrong here because if you cant realize how wrong you are than you dont even deserve to watch the NFL.

Okay I couldnt resist….
Steelers Top 2 RBs combined yards: 1118 (which is 24 yards more than CJ’s total alone)
Steelers Top 2 RBs combined yards: 1768
Lendale has more yards than any Steeler RB.

I mean, I just dont understand how you can say Pittsburgh RBs are better?
Its just an idiotic comment, its the shit like that which makes us all wonder how a biased moron can be put in charge of running a blog. Especially a blog which is part of a network that has a very good reputation. I guess they don’t care much about that rep if people with such one sided views as yourself are in charge.

Sorry, I had to vent, I just dont like you, and mainly its because you are a colts fan. Cant wait to demolish you losers on January 10/11th in Nashville.

I thought i read that you said steelers RBs were better, now i see you stated they were on par…

titans

will pound big ben into the the ground. practically every team they face does it. he will have trouble just making it through the game without being another head to add to our d-line’s trophy case.

secondly, our o-line has been impenetrable all year long. best pass rusher in the league vs. best pass blockers: bring it.

obviously polamalu is amazing, but i like our corners better if harper plays.

if you count harrison as a D end, which he would be in our defense, i will totally take our three lbs vs. their 3. it’s not fair to include harrison in a discussion w/ our LBs because, in reality, he plays a totally different position, and is asked to do totally different things.

if the colts beat them, we sure as hell can. im not sure you noticed, but the titans are the best team in the afc this year.

But for someone who runs a teams board, shouldn’t you try to be respectful and represent that team in a positive manner? It seems to me that BBS is just a classless idiot. You NEVER see Jimmy doing that trash on anyone’s board, or really any other of the people who run a teams board, just that classless goon.

Why do you keep defending BBS, shake?

You seem to be above it, and actually keep me coming back to that shithole of a blog just to read the actual informative posts that you and mgrex put on there. The guy posts nothing of substance, and only posts crap that he knows will get argumentative juvenile responses from opposing teams fans just to get his site hits up. His arguments are never anything but “LenDale is fat and gay” “Vince Young sucks” and throwing out a bunch of stats that are incorrect.

I just think you seem above it and it doesn’t make sense that you keep defending him. We know that it is not Colt fans in general, it is just one douchebag who has a bully pulpit that he doesn’t deserve.

It’s OK to say “Vince Young is gay” but not call someone a “faggot?”

I guess since I’ve known BBS longer than most people I understand how he is and how he writes. It still amazes me the amount of crap people post over there claiming how stupid he is and how full of crap he is etc etc etc. That’s how he is people, get used to it, or get over it. I’m not going to lie, he says some pretty ridiculous things sometimes that I don’t agree with, but you don’t see me freaking out every post he makes because it’s controversial.

by KingRichard on Dec 11, 2008 2:50 PM CST up reply actions  

Hey King

For me, it’s not the stuff he writes, as most of it I can see is juvenile and realize that arguing with him is just trying to be rational with an irrational person, it’s just the whole atmosphere of the site that if we respond to his garbage, which is what he wants, we are attacked as “trolls” and thrashed cause we stick up for our team or ourselves and it’s just amazing that there are only two or three posters (coltsfanawalt comes to mind) that actually see what he is doing (or readily admit that it’s juvenile).

Stampede Blue is, by far, the worst environment for opposing fans out of all the sites I have visited in SB Nation. And it all starts at the top.

Again, my problem is with your moderator. Not you or shake or mgrex, or most of the other posters (except Nideak—he can say some pretty tough things when he is anonymous on a blog).

But, you’re right about one thing. If you don’t like it, don’t go. It’s just a shame it has to be like that.

by gramsey712 on Dec 11, 2008 3:20 PM CST up reply actions  

That’s not true. It’s just that normally when someone replies to what Brad says it starts off with, “Durr ur stupid brad! Nuh uh BBS ur full ov it! blah blah blah bunch of nonsense and open-ended claims with not support.” Kind of what Beans has been doing the past month or so. No one over there has any problem with anyone from any team stopping by and chatting it up with us about the team they root for. The problem is, that site is like a magnet to complete tools who think it would be fun to insult the Colts players for whatever reason. I honestly think that site has more trolls than any other on SB Nation. I mean honestly, if 99% of the Patriots fans from Pats Pulpit can post there and enjoy it, then something is wrong here.

Response

One of the reasons shake n bake and mgrex03 post stories at Stampede Blue is because they offer a different slant to things. Both shake n bake and mgrex03 focus more on stats than I do. I focus more on strategy, scouting, and general impressions. A blog exists so a person can express an opinion, and that’s what I do at Stamped Blue. Express my opinion.

That said, I challenge you to posts links to stories where I write things that are backed up by “a bunch of stats that are incorrect.” I also do not post things just to boost my hits. My hits are fine, thanks you. I average 6,000 a day. Everything I post I believe in, 100%.

LenDale White is fat.
Vince Young sucks.
The Steelers have a better defense than the Titans.

Those are said because they are 1) True, and 2) Because I believe them 100%. I do not post material just to get people pissed. I call it like I see it, and sometimes the truth hurts. For years I told fans like you that Vince Young was a bust. Now, look who turned out right. I went through the same crap with Jaguars fans and Byron Leftwich.

So again, post stories I wrote that were backed up by stats that were incorrect. I’m happy to either apologize for them, or berate you silly for suggesting I lie or am not sincere in what I write.

Because one of our posters did it’s alright for your moderator to act like a goon. Shouldn’t he be above it?

Jimmy never behaves in that way and consistently encourages us to follow in his classy example. Majority of Titans fans on this site act in a respectful manner, but the guy who runs your board is a gigantic Troll.

Doesn’t it bother you? Don’t you think a team coached by Tony Dungy deserves better. I am not defending what he said, but don’t you think BBS kinda attracts this kind of thing?

I’m not sure of the “goonery” that your speaking of, but if BBS said things on par with what shainoc did today, I’d be pretty pissed at him as well. I would tend to agree that BBS attracts a lot of flac from opposing fans, and sometimes I don’t agree with everything he writes, but that b.s. that was written on stampedeblue is ridiculous.

And I know that the majority of titans fans are solid backers who just like to talk football, just like the majority of colts fans are solid backers who like to do the same. With that said, I’ll back off.

That type of name calling doesn’t happen on this site for the most part because we don’t do it in our posts. Most users understand the tone of the site and act accordingly. The day we result to slumming for hits by being a “shock jock” is the day I hang it up as the moderator here.

I can’t control what happens over there, but I can control what happens here. I choose to take the high road, let who is better be decided on the field, and then blog about what happened on the field. Please do the same.
