After the catch? Come on man...90% of ALL quarterbacks passing yards are "after the catch".

Not everyone has the cannon and can "chuck" the ball 70 yards...ala Michael Vick.

I can't stand the Steelers, and even I know the answer to this trivia question! The answer is Ben Rothlisberger in Super Bowl XL when he went 9-22 with two INTs. What do I win?

I don't know if that's the last one, but it certainly is a good one to point to for this thread.

Good point Joel...I remember that performance well.

BTW...why so hateful against the black and gold my brotha??? Just curious cause Philly and Pittsburgh really don't have much of a rivalry...

New England may be the better team, and Brady the better QB....but I wouldn't bet money against Tebow and the Broncs next week.

We are moving the rocks so that Tebow will be unable to walk on water.

I'm just glad this season is over. I've been nothing but thoroughly pissed since Tomlin let Ben play in the San Fran game. I knew that move would cost us a ring, and it did. At the expense of the Broncos, no less. That is so embarrassing I hope they can't even show their faces all winter.
It's what happens when a coach lets players run his ball team. Another thing that raises my blood pressure dramatically.

That said, I have to say that Tebow really did pull his game together and my boy Demaryius Thomas shredded our secondary. I've watched Thomas all season and beat my head on the wall for half the season until Tebow woke up and found him. I knew he was capable of huge things and drafted him three or four times this year in my fantasy league. Ultimately he paid dividends. That team played with incredible heart yesterday and were wholly unselfish. The polar opposite of what the Steelers showed these last five or six weeks. There's probably a good lesson there for me.

I can't ever remember a rookie class that has made such a huge impact in the NFL as this year's. It's been an incredible season of football.
I'll be pulling for Houston and The Pack from here on out, I'd like to see that show come February 5th.

I don't know Ken, it's a combination of things. Many of their players play what I consider to be a dirty brand of football. Hitting someone hard is awesome, and should be a part of the game. Consistently spearing the opponent, with no attempt to wrap your arms is not a clean hit...no matter what Mr Harrison or so many other of his teammates think. I honestly believe their coaching staff teaches them how to tackle the wrong way. Also, there's the whole "Class Organization" malarkey. Another thread here at CA discusses that, and I pointed to many examples of how that's a bunch of BS. False self-proclamations really rub me the wrong way.

But, let's be honest, success breeds contempt. But for me, it isn't success alone, but when it's combined with some other factors that breed contempt. 15 years ago, I could have cared less about the Patriots, but since they've had their success while employing probably the most arrogant SOB around as a coach, and "spygate", etc., I've learned to dislike them. I think it's similar with the Steelers. Their success, combined with what I find to be faults of theirs, breeds contempt.

Sorry for this in a Steelers fans thread...but I was asked.

Maybe he will float 300 more passing yards on the wings of angels.

Bruce Arians to Indy as OC, did not see that coming.

smitty81 · 03-22-2012, 09:33 AM

Can someone tell me what is going on with Hines Ward?

I know the steelers let him go but on espn, it said he retired.

I thought he was going to play elsewhere?

He said he wanted to retire as a Steeler. I say good for him.

Mikey202 · 03-22-2012, 10:03 AM

He retired. He said that he loves the game of football, and still wanted to play. But wanted to retire and be a Steeler forever. Very emotional speech ....

here is a link to the video.
