Yes! With Ben's concussion, we would have hit him so hard, he would left the field on a Stretcher with the crowd chanting "You Stink!".

No.. Tim you are delusional.. the Ravens dont have it this year.. they barely beat the Steelers 2nd string, they dominate awful teams, but put them up against a contender and they trip themselves up. Unless the ball is going to Ray Rice they have a terrible time getting the ball into the End Zone in the Red Zone, not to mention that Ray Lewis has lost a step.. hes still scarey HOWEVER he is missing tackles this year that he would have NEVER missed in previous years. as much as I hate Ben.. he would have destroyed the Ravens on Sunday night..

Probably not, but it's hard to say. The gameplans for each team would have been very different had those guys played. And if the Steelers get Polamalu and Ben back in this hypothetical, can the Ravens get Suggs and Washington?
