Stealers are AFC: So what?

There were what...six tapes? Something like that?

I think the Patriots are living inside your head, rent-free. That's what I think. :wink:

How do you explain the fact that now that the supposed "advantage" is years behind them, they still beat your team like a red-headed stepchild at Heinz?

Anyway - good luck tomorrow. I want to win, and I want it bad - but if I don't get it, enjoy yourself.

Maybe the Steelers have never changed their defensive signals since tbe early 2000s. Thats the only possible explanation :rotfl:

Fair enough. I apologize for that, but in my own defense I was refering to your arguments aboutthe Pats being cheaters, rather than you personally.

Well, that's a good point. :grin:

The only way it is plausible would be if one of the defensive guys said, "Damn, Ward... It's like they know where what blitz scheme we're running out there..." and later, when "spygate" happened, it morphed in Ward's head...

But hell, for a long stretch of time I could watch tbe Steeler D and tell who was gonna blitz and from where. I bet Steeler fans did too, if they were honest enough to admit it. Sometimes Lebeau gets... Predictible.

You can do the same thjng with the Jets - their OC gets so predictable, you know whats going to hqppen before it does.

:drinks:

Not a problem. Thanks, and I apologize if you feel like I was baiting or flaming you into a personal attack. Not my intent.


and on Ward, I think he was actually referring to the defense, in that he thinks the defense was doing it as well.

I believe Farrior or another LB (not porter :icon_wink said what I said above-but at this point, i really don't care to go find the link (12:30 AM and I have to get up early to preach tomorrow!).

Well, have a good night then. While there are some Steeler players I dislike, I've always thought that the Pats, Steelers, and Colts have been the class of the AFC for the past decade, always battling it out to be number one, and the matchups have always been exciting.

We disagree about SpyGate, but otherwise we're just fans of two of the AFC's best teams...

Actually I don't think we disagree about SpyGate. I think Goodell was out to make a name for himself and that was the issue he chose. Just like I think the only reason he went after Ben was because of the media attention ... not because Ben did anything wrong (except act like an ***). Same thing with the player concussion issue. One weekend the hits generate mega bad publicity and he gets his panties in a bunch. He over reacts and instead of making safety equipment mandatory he lays it on the players.

This guy will ruin this game. JMO

This. A thousand times this. I think that is something almost every NFL fan can agree on.

I hope they let both teams play without to many penalties called, if so, should be a blood bath.:yahoo:Can't wait!

Leavy admitted to 2 bad calls, and Seattle couldn't score more than 10 pts. Lets talk about dropped passes, 2 missed field goals, Hass throwing interception on a scoring drive. Seattle had plenty of opportunities to win and blew it. Bottom line is, both teams played a lousy game, worst super bowl I ever watched.

They all do it, and I'm sure if you dig deep enough, you will find that the Packers violated the rules at one time or another.

no we are perfect

Oh, I guess your perception is the truth.

This got quite off topic.

The afc has been over-rated for some time now and especially this year, just look at how over-rated the patriots were, we should have beat them in their house without Rogers. The Packers are the class of the nfl this year, the Steelers were lucky to beat the Jets.

Of course we were overrated. This was supposed to be a rebuilding year, and I expected with our young inexperienced D that we'd finish no better than 10-6z 14-2 was a pleasant surprise.

Then I guess I'm like every other sports fan. :happy0005:

Well, there's what you say, and then there's what the ref says - and he says he impacted the game. He says he has trouble sleeping because of it. He says he will take his mistakes "to the grave."

You say it's not a big deal.

Sounds like a pretty big deal to me.

The Pro Bowl and Super Bowl say:

NFC > AFC

NFC has the last two SBs and three of the last four. AFC fans cannot say a lot right now.

Cheese is stronger than Steel.

Well, we can. We'd just be lying, that's all.

The Stealers were the ones playing touch football out there.

This made me LOL
