gg ncsu.

1/7/2006 5:21:53 PM

bttt.

1/8/2006 7:44:57 PM

Ummmmm, no.

It took you three whole quarters to get the lead against a soft defense and JON KITNA.

Not gonna happen, no way in hell.

1/8/2006 7:45:58 PM

for once I totally agree with Lil G. I'm thinking fat chance.

1/8/2006 7:47:01 PM

I don't have any valid reason for thinking this but I am seeing the AFC Championship game being played IN New England.

I just have a feeling all that stuff that Indy has had to deal with will end up hurting them next week..

1/8/2006 7:47:06 PM

I would actually love for the Steelers to go to Foxboro.

I doubt that will happen, but it'd be nice. Especially after last season's little bitchfest that ended in a Steeler bitchslapping at New England.

1/8/2006 7:53:55 PM

^ I don't agree here. My gut says they'll be damn ready to play + emotionally charged to boot.

1/8/2006 8:16:13 PM

I think every team is that way in the playoffs. Same scenario last year, probably even more so, since Roethlisberger hadn't lost a game and they squeeked a fradulent win out against the Jets.

1/8/2006 8:26:30 PM

Don't you realize the Steelers should already be out if they hadnt made the game plan to injury half the team in the first series?

1/8/2006 10:45:52 PM

lol picking the steelers to not win 3 road games en route to the super bowl is a pretty ballsy pick there, G

1/8/2006 10:57:25 PM

steelers will beat the panthers in the super bowl.

1/8/2006 11:04:00 PM

^^Kinda like you picking the Pats not to win it all during last season.

Then they did.

I can't wait to hear you give us all the stats why the Steelers are going to win. You know, like you did last season before the Pats game.

1/8/2006 11:26:54 PM

^^you know if they both make it...the panthers will win

1/8/2006 11:30:09 PM

^^He doesn't (or at least didn't) realistically think that, and I don't think he's ever stated on here that he honestly thinks they will win the super bowl. I did though.

Ol' 46.25%

1/8/2006 11:52:44 PM

well you didnt have the balls to actually make picks on your own, at least i did that much.

and no, i dont know that the steelers can get past indy without signficant blitzing, and even then it won't be easy. they clearly had trouble running their offense with the noise level in that dome, and i'll be the first to admit that it doesn't look too good.


i'm hoping i'm wrong though

1/9/2006 12:39:43 AM

Steelers lose at Indy, Broncos stop the Brady streak, Broncos go into Indy and pull off the upset.

Pitt won today because Cincy cannot stop the run, and Palmer was out. Kitna played terrible the entire second half, had that been Palmer there's no way to be sure he'd play better, but you have to believe he'd play better than Kitna did.

But if Pitt can take out Manning in the first series they'll win for sure, haha.

No, i meant in response to NyM410 saying Indy would come out flat. I don't think they will.....could be wrong but they have too much fucking execution ability.

revenge. ben played it so cool in cincy. just went out there and did his job and all he had to do. hopefully can run the ball a little better next week.

1/9/2006 3:04:50 PM

It's kinda hard NOT to play it cool against a team that's being led by Jon Kitna. The opposing QB is basically cool by default.

Welcome to reality, boys, hope your bags are packed.

1/9/2006 4:10:28 PM

If Palmer hadn't gotten fucked over (the more I see that replay, the more intentional it looks is), no way the Steelers win that game. 1 pass, 66 yards...he's the deep threat the Bengals lost that would have won the game. It would have been a shootout, but it'd have been 38-31 again in the home team's favor.

Steelers are done next week once they face a real offense. Same with the Pats.

1/9/2006 4:14:09 PM

^you're an idiot

1/10/2006 1:29:40 AM

Haha, the guy that can't beat a coin is calling someone an idiot.

Hey, remember this quote before last year's AFC Championship game?

Quote :

"i still just don't understand how the steelers are the underdog for this game. i mean let's look at the facts -steelers are on a 15 game winning streak -steelers beat the patriots in the regular season -game is being played in pittsburgh -steelers are undefeated in pittsburgh this year -tom brady has never played a full game and won against the steelers in pittsburgh all i keep hearing about is how the patriots didn't have dillon the first time they played the steelers and that he is going to make all the difference in the world. you people forget that the steelers have seen dillon twice for each of the last 8 years. and i think even more of you forget that dick lebeau (the steelers DC) coached dillon while he was HC at cincy. he knows how to stop the guy. i'm sure this will be a closer game than the first game this season, but i still think the steelers will win. i just don't understand how the steelers could possibly be underdogs in this situation though. i'll be watching this game instead of the state/maryland game on sunday, so hopefully my steelers will win."

Ooooh, man. Good times.

1/10/2006 4:01:10 AM

all those statements were true when i said them, what's your point?

1/10/2006 7:17:31 AM

My point is, you thought all those "facts" were reasons why the Steelers were going to win. There was no doubt in your mind. All you guys had no fucking clue as to why New England was favored in that game and you posted all your stats for pages and pages as to why the Steelers were bound to win that game.

Hey, remember this?

Quote :

"lets see steelers have better WR's, better RB's, better defense, better punter, etc you argue the quarterback rating, but what is so inaccurate about it when you get over 100-200 pass attempts? peyton manning was clearly the best quarterback this year and he has the best quarterback rating to show for it. the best qb rating stat on ben though is his 4th quarter qb rating. he averages 118.5 rating in the 4th quarter over all his starts. that's pretty damn good (1st in the NFL, actually). if i need a guy to make something happen at the end of the game, no matter how the rest of the game has gone, ben's the guy. tom brady only has a 72.3 4th quarter qb rating (11th in NFL). Also, ben's 3rd down qb rating is 101.1 to brady's 83.0 the thing that impresses me the most about ben roethlisberger is the way he keeps his composure. he throws a pick and is immediately ready to get right back out there, no worries. there are very few quarterbacks that can honestly say they do this. ben threw 2 picks in the jets game last week, yet he went on to lead the game winning drive in overtime, completing 5 or 6 big passes along the way. and you cited the steelers 1-2 punch at RB as something they've built their success on, but that actually isn't even true. they have very rarely gotten to actually use staley and bettis as a 1-2 punch this year, thanks to staleys hamstring injury he suffered earlier this year against the patriots. (a patriot player actually punched him in the hamstring). it was staley for the first several games, and then bettis came in and got 100 yard rushing games in 6 straight starts. staley seems like he's back to 100% now though, so we might get a chance to see the 1-2 punch in action tomorrow. and you bash cowher's playoff coaching, but he's made it to the AFC title game 5 times in his 13 years as the steelers head coach. not many coaches in the NFL can say that. he has won his division an unprecedented 8 times in those 13 years, and made it to the super bowl once. you can look at that and say that all it means is he lost 3 of the 4 previous AFC championship games then, but the fact remains that he has made it there. it's supposed to be 12 degrees at the game tomorrow, so i'm guessing ben will be wearing his damn gloves again, which is going to hurt his accuracy a little. if the steelers are able to win this one though, i'd expect him to have a big game in the super bowl, as he will probably not need the gloves down in jacksonville. if this game comes down to running the football, steelers win. if it comes down to passing the football, ben can throw when he needs to. that one's kind of a toss up. if it comes down to kicking, well, i'm just glad we're playing at heinz field. "

Yeah, Ben was awesome that game. Those three picks really helped his team. Of course, you have the gloves to blame.

What was that final score? Oh yeah, 41-27, right? Would have been 41-20 if it weren't for a garbage last-minute Steelers touchdown. But, yeah, you pretty much nailed that game right on the head.

Good ol' 46.25%.

1/10/2006 7:20:39 PM

umm quit living in the past

1/10/2006 7:23:54 PM

I'm sure you would like that, since your team has a history of choking.

Of course, I'm not sure any time is a good place for you to live. The past is full of choke stories, the present is bleak and the future doesn't look that much better.

1/10/2006 7:55:29 PM

to me after what I witnessed Sunday I hope the Steelers lose and lose bad. Steelers fans are fast becoming worse than Eagles fans, they cheered when Carson Palmer was injured and then when Chris Henry got injured. Just bad Karma

1/10/2006 8:05:04 PM

^I agree, I honestly objectively think this team can win the superbowl, but I hope they get their asses EMBARRASSED

1/10/2006 8:10:12 PM

This Steelers team has NO shot at the Super Bowl. Look where the road leads. At some point, Roethlisberger is going to have to get it done with his arm and that's where they'll fall.

1/10/2006 8:15:42 PM

the road is exactly where they've been most successful this season


i disagree with the NO chance assessment.

1/11/2006 2:18:25 AM

Ah, yes, because they did so well at Indianapolis.

Oh, wait....they got stomped the fuck out at Indy.

If I were you, I'd just hope that they don't get embarrassed again.

I'm right here, slept through most of the day. The only thing the Steelers did today was delay the inevitable "Bill Cowher face." It almost happened today from the looks of it, now it'll just happen at Denver.

Like I already mentioned, I'm a Panthers win away from $1,500. I can hedge that $150 bet and make guaranteed bank, so I'm the one laughing at you guys.

Guess you changed your mind about the Panthers

good thing

1/15/2006 8:17:37 PM

I didn't change my mind about the Super Bowl. I still don't think the Panthers will win it. The NFC was weak this season, so I jumped on 10-1 odds like any smart gambler did. All I really needed was two wins to guarantee some good bank, we'll just see if I get greedy or not with the hedge bet.
