I don't sweat the small things, but yeah, to an extent the loss still hurts more than say, the St. Louis game. A lot of that has to do with the timing of the bye week.

We're pretty clearly a better team than Pittsburgh. I mean, people talk about the Ravens being a one dimensional team, but their offense is way stronger than the Steelers' this year.

I think they got pretty lucky when Ben got hurt, but outside of that, their matchups on defense against our offense favor them heavily. I don't think the outcome of the second half would have been any different if the same players played it again five more times. I just take solice in the fact that we were dominating them for 28 minutes, until a blocked punt put us behind at half.
