Cause Haters Gonna Hate - Week Thirteen
Baltimore Ravens (9-2) vs Pittsburgh Steelers (6-5)
Date: Sunday, December 2nd, 2012, 4:25 PM EST
Location: M&T Bank Stadium
Channel: CBS

Did you know? Not only is Cary Williams a top tier cornerback, but when he's not leading all AFC corners in votes for the Pro Bowl, he freelances as a rapper on the side. What a multi-talented individual. And today he's been so gracious as to let us get a sneak peak at his new single off the upcoming album 50 Shades of Cary. This song, interestingly enough, has been titled, Why You Mad Bro?. Even crazier, it happens to follow this exact same beat.....

This one goes out to all my haters...

You mad cause we styling on ya?

Oh, you mad bro?
Yeah, you mad bro.
Why you mad though?
Don't be mad bro.

4th and 29
Division on the line
Joe's our only hope.
How we gonna cope?
Checkdown to Ray Rice?
That boy done lost his mind....
Oh damn, that actually worked out just fine.

"But he's short dough!!!!"
"Ain't nothing special though"
"Maaaaayn, Shane Vereen could have done that in his sleep, yo!"

Oh, you mad bro?
Yeah, you mad bro.
Why you mad though?
Don't be mad bro.

Jones with another score.
Flacco tosses two more.
Rice with the dive.
Defense, they survive.

"Edelman got screwed, yo!"
"How many times I gotta tell you, it was wide right bro!"
"The refs is in yo pocket though!!"

Oh, you mad bro?
Yeah, you mad bro.
Why you mad though?
Don't be mad bro.

Beating up the Steelers like it's our right.
Rinse, repeat. Rinse, repeat.
Taking that division crown on Sunday night.
Rinse, repeat. Rinse, repeat.
Showing the entire AFC we're ready for a fight.
Rinse, repeat. Rinse, repeat.

"Big Ben ain't even playing, bro!"
"You lucky it's Charlie Batch, yo!"
"It's only cause you guys are playing at home though!"

Oh, you mad bro?
Yeah, you mad bro.
Why you mad though?
Don't be mad bro.

The original OG steps in....Ray "Gangsterlicious" Lewis

Uh....uh....uh....

You thought I was done?
Nah son.
Coming back December 16th.
This last part don't even gotta rhyme.
Be afraid. Be VERY afraid.

Oh, you mad bro?
Yeah, you mad bro.
Why you mad though?
Don't be mad bro.

We out. Deuces.

...Oh, and if you're mad right now, this is probably for you...

BEST GAMEDAY THREAD EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The beat actually fit the rap, that's the crazy part about it Laughing

Prediction:

Ravens - 31
Steelers - 14

We play like a machine at home. 4:30 game (basically a night game), coming off of an exciting win, and we're facing the STEELERS! That stadium will be rockin' all night long!

I'm not buying this Ben thing. I think they could be throwing us a curve ball and he indeed does start at the last minute. I'll believe he's out when I see Batch on the field.

But looks like Troy P and Antonio Brown will be playing.

I don't know how you do it, but you somehow manage to make better and better GDTs each year.

If we play half as good as that OP is then we've got this game in the bag.

As for the poll, there is no competition for the right answer.

Basically my reaction to this... Was too funny.. then I stopped laughing only to shake my head at how ridiculously funny this is... only to start laughing again, followed by tears... followed by more laughing... followed by a giant smile.

And yeah, NE fans are definitely the biggest haters right now. No other answer is even close.

In terms of the game, high ankle sprains can be tough, I'll have to wonder if Antonio Brown will be 100% or where exactly he'll be. Troy Polamalu being back is another thing I'm not sure about, he could be coming back rusty after having sat out such a long time...

That said, either way, we should be pressing their WRs and blitzing. If its Ben, we should be trying to get to him and get hits on him to bang him up further.. and if its Batch, we should be blitzing to put pressure on him.

With us being at home and having had time to prepare for Pittsburgh's newest defensive strategy against Torrey Smith, I think that should serve us well. Putting their safety underneath and their corner over the top of him when he's lined up along the outside worked incredibly well last time at shutting Smith down and keeping our offense at bay. But we did some things to curb that by putting Torrey in the slot and putting him in motion. With more time to perfect a strategy I expect better results and execution.

The Steelers really caught us off guard with that new strategy, but we now have the leg up because we can adjust. Should be a good game either way. Should be close.

Guys, Ben along with Leftwitch, has been ruled out. Batch is starting. Once you rule someone out they can't play, there's no "lol jk I'm playing *troll face*".

Great job as always, btw, RTID.

Woodley is out too. He always seems to play well against the Ravens so it's nice that we won't have to worry about Osemele getting abused by him.

True, but Woodley would still worries me more. Any way you put it Harrison/Worilds isn't as good as Harrison/Woodley/Worilds. Very Happy

I hope Hood doesn't go down again either because Heyward was a lot better when he had to go into the game last time.

I'm feeling pretty confident about this one. Mostly because the Ravens are playing at home but if Batch is as ineffective as he was against Cleveland then I don't see how Pittsburgh could beat Baltimore unless the Ravens have a ton of turnovers.
