YEAH!!! f***ing right!! 24-3 Steelers. Eat it, Denver.

[riverside sluggers]

damn 24-3, Pittsburgh is taking it to them, no complaints

[jsinger121]

Hines Ward TD catch.....24-3 steelers.....this one is looking over quickly

Like I've said millions of times before..

 

It was a Pats' loss. Not a Denver win.

[jsinger121]

agree 100% with you. the only team in the NFL that can beat a healthy Pats team is the Pats themselves. granted they were not totally healthy last week but they were healthy enough where they should have beaten the Broncos.

Well, the way the Steelers have been playing lately, I'd be pretty damn scared of them

[jsinger121]

as good as they have played as of late, belichick and the patriots have not lost to them in a big game.

[schillingouttheks]

Well, Denver's slowly climbing back into this game. If they score here they're down 10, 27-17, with about 8 mins left. Enough time...c'mon Pitt shut 'em down.

[schillingouttheks]

And that should seal it. Touchdown Steelers. Score one for the good guy

[riverside sluggers]

What goes around, comes around Denver

[schillingouttheks]

Amazing. Pittsburgh is on its way to the Superbowl after marching through the 1, 2, and 3 seeds. All on the road I might add.

[See Red]

Eh, Jake Plummer deserves every bit of criticism he'll be getting this off-season. Can't say I'm too happy with Shanahan either, this team showed absolutely no sense of urgency.

 

Plummer reverted back into his old self, can't say I blame him too much, with the defense playing god-awful and the running game ineffective, and trailing by a good margin, he tried to make plays to win the game because nobody else seemed to, and that's when he's at his worst. This team needs another WR. They were interested in Owens, last I heard when he first got suspended. I hope that's still the case.

 

As for the defensive side of the ball -- when you get burned by Cedric Wilson, it's a problem. Domonique Foxworth was absolutely dreadful -- why give them a 9 yard cushion every time when every time they need a play, they use that cushion you give 'em to run hook for the first down? Ugh. 2 dropped interceptions, the first one by Champ, the second by Lynch late (would've been a touch catch for any safety, but it was makable).

 

When they start 3 of their first 6 possessions on your side of the 50, you're not going to win.

 

And get off the 'The Patriots lost blah blah' thing. With the exception of those vanity points when the game was in little doubt, you were outscored by Champ Bailey's INT and the TD run that followed it. And yes, the pressure on Brady forced the interception.

[schillingouttheks]

And yes, the pressure on Brady forced the interception.

I agree that there was pressure, but in any other situation, Brady's smart enough to know that if he just throws the ball away, we can get 3 and the way the defense was clicking, we woulda gotten the ball back too.

 

Anyway, that's not the point. The Steelers will win the superbowl, and that's my pick no matter who wins Carolina/Seattle. I want Carolina, but my head says Pitt.

 

Oh well, Pittsburgh is absolutely amazing. And yes, I was confident picking Cowher in a big game.

[Youk Of The Nation]

That was AMAZING.

 

Here we go STEELERS, HERE WE GO!

 

On to Detroit on the No. 36 Bus!

[jsinger121]

And its going to be Seattle and Pittsburgh in Super Bowl XL in Detroit.

[CalvnHobs6]

Great game for Seattle, but other than that, it really wasn't excessively interesting.

[jsinger121]

what does everyone think of the superbowl matchup?

[element1151]

I was rooting for Denver, but I enjoyed the total annihilation of the Panthers.

[WildThing58]

go seattle first ever appeareance.

[Youk Of The Nation]

go seattle first ever appeareance.

 

 

Too bad they're going to lose.
