That's a good point. Only Mr. Lewis and Mr. Suggs have been bad boys to my knowledge. The Bungles are much, much worse. I'm looking forward to a Baltimore-Pittsburgh match-up in the playoffs, where things will be rectified :ss

Suggs AKA T-Sizzle...:D I know) :D Is clean as any in the NFL...This whole team has been drama free for this year at least as far as I know.... and believe me Baltimore fans are not shy about calling out players that are A holes...

3 is the magic number. If we meet the Steelers again I have at least 5 smokes ready for anyone who wants to wager!...(Mikey and me have an ongoing wager...That I have lost twice this year...Bastids!)

Alladin, it's not about a towel. It's a symbol- it's kind of like somebody spitting in the jail cell of where the Raven's defense sleep. ;)

Where is the LOVE?? We are basically the same team....Except we are a bit better:tu

In the spirit of the Holidays.....Here is a great pic (all kidding aside)!:)

Ben hasn't thrown the ball well for weeks. His shoulder's a mess and he's been a liabilty. Don't get me wrong, I love him to death.
I just worry that his bad shoulder is going to be the end of the Steeler's run. Add a headache to that and he just really needs a break.
Byron has shown he can get the job done. If Ben could get an extra week on top of the bye week, I really think he can take the team the whole way. If he's forced to play the first playoff game I think we're goin' home early.
I knew Ben would get hurt if he was in past the first quarter today and called it before the game. Why Mike had him in there in the condition he's been in is beyond me. I know Ben wants to play, but if he'd sat out this game and the bye week he'd have been in great shape for the playoffs.
I fear it was another "young coach" strategic misfire that's gonna cost us dearly.

I can think of MUCH WORSE backup QB's than Byron Leftwich...

Kerry Collins is probably a better backup, but I digress :ss


Best wishes to getting healthy, Steelers... Would LOVE for my Titans see you in the AFC Championship*



*yes, I know there's a lot of football left

I agree with you 100%. When I saw Ben playing today, I was like, " WTF? What is the reason would you put him in there?" Everyone knows that he has been playing hurt, and he has nothing on his passes. If the offense doesn't start to produce, this will be a 1 game, see you next year, playoffs for us. The defense can do it all.
When I was in Pittsburgh early this year I had the chance to talk to the Events Coordinator for the Steelers. He told me that when they gave Big Ben his new contract, the front office had to restructure alot of peoples salaries within the franchise, to come up with the money. :confused:Doesn't seem to me that they are protecting the franchise QB = investment. How many times he been sacked in the last 3 years?...... almost 150 times I think.
I just think that it was a real bad decision and missed opportunity for Ben to get healthy. We shall see in 2 weeks.
:2I just think that it is a waste of the best Steeler Defense since the Steel Curtain, not to do all you can to make the offense more productive.

:tpd: Well said. Ben would have had an extra week to heal, but what's done is done. I really hope he gets healthy over the next few weeks. We'll see.

If the defense continues to play like they have, they shouldn't have a problem. Defense wins championships, offense wins games. Hasn't that been said by someone before?:hm

Agreed,

I think in the last off-season, Tomlin and the rest of the staff really focused on bulking up the defense. Most of the early picks were for the defense and I think that it has taken fruit for this year with resounding success, but the offense was neglected. A big hole I believe was left by Alan Faneca who left for the Jets, I think the offensive line has suffered this year as a result of that. This off-season, Tomlin and the rest of his staff, needs to look for some really solid offensive line guys- the team needs people who can give Big Ben time to throw. That's the real problem here, that and Big Ben needs to get comfortable in the pocket again. Every time I watch him he looks like Ichabod Crane with the Headless Horseman coming after him. Good QB's are hard to find (ask Da Bears!), and the Pittsburgh better take better care of theirs.:hm

I loved watching San Diego lose though. There aren't many players I dislike more than Rivers.

Congrats, Steeler Nation.... Glad to see at least one home team win this weekend.

As for me, I spent all day yesterday doing two very un-fun things...

1. Served as a pallbearer at my grandmother's funeral, and

2. Had a nasty flashback to the divisional round of 2000... I was in Nashville for that game, too (although, obviously, I didn't attend the game yesterday)

Steelers are going to have to bring their "A" game to the Cardinals. If they play like they played today, there's gonna be some very happy Arizonans at the end of the Super Bowl.

Re: Steelers fans check in...
 
If the Steelers pull this Super Bowl off, it's going to set off a lot of talk about "Best Team Ever". The schedule was supposedly the toughest ever historically in the NFL. They finished 12-4, and that's tough with a soft schedule.
The losses were all close, too.
I'm looking forward to the win just to hear the talk. :D

Been a Steelers fan since before I was born... this is going to be fun.

But lets not count the Cardinals out before the game starts, they have some GREAT players on offense, and our secondary isnt exactly best in the league...

Its going to be a great game!!

I guess that means I will have to drink 9 Rip-Its to aid my sleep deprevation, but I will definitely be watching! I remember a few years ago when they were playing the Jets in the playoffs and it came down to a field goal and the Jets missed and we won. I swear to god I had tears in my eyes screaming "WIDE LEFT! PLEASE WIDE! YES!" Good times.

No better way to watch the Steelers play than surrounded by Steelers fans!! Have a great time out there David!
