[Count Steeler]

Just listened to a friggin idiot on local radio here in Toronto.

"Steelers could have just as easily lost against Seattle and Arizona, in fact they could have just as easily lost all their playoff games, they are a favored team."

What a crock of shit. Could that not be said of every Super Bowl winner? We just happen to have an organization that knows how to stay competitive and always in the hunt for the playoffs and the Super Bowl. If you keep emphasizing defense and the running game, guess what will happen to your team? Some teams want to get fancy and emphasize the offensive side of the game, however, unless the NFL becomes a completely domed league, you have to be able to play defense when it comes to the playoffs. Any coincidence that all 4 teams remaining are very strong on defense?

"Style Points don't matter"

[Chidi29]

Inactives are in. McFadden is active. Battle and Worilds will also play.

Will Allen is the only notable inactive.

[The Duke]

Allen out hurts special teams, but at least Worilds is back and Battle will play after missing some practice this week

Not this time brad smith!!

[Polamalu Princess]

An hour to go!!!!!!!!!

[JayC]

in on one

HERE WE GO STEELERS HERE WE GO

hmm, i wonder if this will be a problem

[HometownGal]

A little under 1/2 hour to go! :applaudit: :rockon:


I BELIEVE!

[kmsteelerwr15]

It's Almost Time!!!

HERE WE GO STEELERS HERE WE GO!!!!

[Chidi29]

Let's go!

[Count Steeler]

Start may be delayed with OT. Bears are getting close.

[SteelerFanInStl]

http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/11023/1120190-66.stm

"Roethlisberger loses voice"

hmm, i wonder if this will be a problem

No. It's already been said in another thread that Ben is fine today.

[fansince'76]

FU, Sharpe. :upyours:

[SteelerFanInStl]

Start may be delayed with OT. Bears are getting close.

Nope, game over. Hanie threw another pick.

[Count Steeler]

HERE WE GO STEELERS! HERE WE GO! :tt03: :tt02: :tt03:

[SteelerFanInStl]

It's almost game time! :tt03:

[Edman]

To channel the spirit of one Pimply Dan...

CAN NO LOSE! MUST WINE!

We MUST WINE NOW!

[Count Steeler]

OK Fans, heat up the stadium and don't let up til we have a 21 point lead.

[43Hitman]

HELL YEAH I READY TO GO!

HERE WE GO STEELERS HERE WE GO!!!

[HometownGal]

Ryan spewing that Sanchez could be a HOF QB one day. Put down the crack pipe fatsho.

[HometownGal]

FU, Sharpe. :upyours:

I was in the toidie - what did Shit Mouth say?

[Boomerang]

Steelers are going all the way,NO DOUBT.The Jets will not fly high.BEN this is your time...CMON STEELERS!

[Count Steeler]

Have they done their picks yet? Hope they are on the Jets.

[Craic]

http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/11023/1120190-66.stm

"Roethlisberger loses voice"

hmm, i wonder if this will be a problem

Well, of course Ben did. He's just trying to ramp up the drama. :chuckle:

[Count Steeler]

I was in the toidie - what did Shit Mouth say?

Could not understand him, really. He did a piece on Tomlin. Positive.

[SteelerFanInStl]

Ryan spewing that Sanchez could be a HOF QB one day. Put down the crack pipe fatsho.

No doubt! If Sanchez didn't play in NY/NJ, no one would care about him. He hasn't shown anything in the NFL so far to show that he's any better than an average NFL QB.

[HometownGal]

Have they done their picks yet? Hope they are on the Jets.

Whelp - we already know Cowher is picking the Jets. Still can't believe that. :doh:

[kmsteelerwr15]

Enough with the talking! Let's get to some Steelers football!!!!

[SteelerFanInStl]

And Boomer just said that Sanchez is the reason why the Jets have been winning? :lol:

[Count Steeler]

E trade baby taking the Jets.

[fansince'76]

I was in the toidie - what did Shit Mouth say?

He was interviewing Tomlin. I kept wishing Tomlin would call him out for bitching about the officiating after the game last week. :mad2:

[SteelerSal]

Let's do this!!! http://r15.imgfast.net/users/1511/85/18/49/smiles/782983.gif

[HometownGal]

Now Cowher picks the Steelers. WTH?

[kmsteelerwr15]

Cowher just picked the Steelers

[SteelerFanInStl]

Whelp - we already know Cowher is picking the Jets. Still can't believe that. :doh:

??? He picked the Steelers.

[Craic]

Whelp - we already know Cowher is picking the Jets. Still can't believe that. :doh:

Nope.. just picked Pittsburgh

[Count Steeler]

Let's go Oline, blow some holes wide open.

[HometownGal]

Shit Mouth picks the Steelers too. Is there a tsunami coming?

[Boomerang]

i can see Heath having a big game today.

[SteelerFanInStl]

Boomer picked the Jets. Big surprise there! :lol:

[HometownGal]

Nope.. just picked Pittsburgh

See a couple of posts above yours.

[steelerdude15]

So pumped! Let's go Steelers!

[HometownGal]

Who did JB and Marino pick?

[Craic]

Look at em towels fly!

[Count Steeler]

OK guys, let's get a quick start.

[Craic]

Who did JB and Marino pick?

I think all but 1 picked Pit

[kmsteelerwr15]

Look at em towels fly!

There isn't a more beautiful sight in sports

[7SteelGal43]

YOU KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS !!!!!

[Count Steeler]

Glad to see that Boomer is such a Bungle, that there is no way he will ever pick the Steelers. Once a loser, always a loser. (Including today, hopefully)

[43Hitman]

Game ON!

[Boomerang]

There isn't a more beautiful sight in sports
Gets the adrenaline pumping.

[fansince'76]

Cripes, my nerves are shot already.

[Dodt]

[fansince'76]

Glad to see that Boomer is such a Bungle, that there is no way he will ever pick the Steelers. Once a loser, always a loser. (Including today, hopefully)

Thank GOD we don't have to listen to that toolbox Collinsworth.

EDIT: Ugh. We get Simms instead. :doh:

[Polamalu Princess]

Here we go!!!!! Go Steelers!!

[SteelerFanInStl]

[fansince'76]

Cromartie grabbing already.

[kmsteelerwr15]

Not getting away with it today Cromartie

[SteelerFanInStl]

WTF? That SHOULD have been a 15 yard facemask penalty.

[HometownGal]

That ball must feel like a concrete slab.

[Count Steeler]

Nice draw play

[kmsteelerwr15]

Nice Mendy! another 3rd down coming up

[HometownGal]

3rd and 6 coming up. Keep it going O!

[Polamalu Princess]

[The Duke]

Nice catch mike!

[SteelerFanInStl]

First down!!!

[Dodt]

[kmsteelerwr15]

1st down Wallace!

[Count Steeler]

Should be a first.

[fansince'76]

First down! :tt02:

[Polamalu Princess]

Awesome.

[steelerdude15]

That was a little generous.

[Count Steeler]

OK, let's get into a rhythm

[kmsteelerwr15]

Hell of a play Ben

[The Duke]

Wow, excellent broken play ben and mendy!

[fansince'76]

Beautiful heads up lateral, Ben.

[SteelerFanInStl]

nice play. Damn, Ben's hurt. :(

[HometownGal]

What a great play by Ben!!!! WOOOOOO!!!

Shit - Ben limping. :doh:

[Polamalu Princess]

Please be okay Ben.

[Count Steeler]

Knee to the thigh. Charlie horse? Shake it off Ben.

[HometownGal]

Way to keep the legs going Mendy! Correction - got the first! :applaudit:

[kmsteelerwr15]

Nice Mendy and that's close

[Craic]

Come on Steelers!!!! Nice to see them working out the kinks now.

[steelerdude15]

That was a good run.

[Count Steeler]

NICE RUN MENDY!!! Somebody came to play.

[Craic]

Nice RUN!!

[kmsteelerwr15]

Hell of a run Mendy!!

[SteelerFanInStl]

Damn fine running by Mendy!!!

[fansince'76]

Man, Mendy almost broke that!

[Polamalu Princess]

Nice Mendy.

[HometownGal]

WTG Mendy!!! :applaudit: He's like a raging, snorting bull out there!

[The Duke]

I love seeing mendenhall having success with this line

Keep it up!!

[HometownGal]

FIRST DOWN Redman!!! :clap2:

[kmsteelerwr15]

1st down Redman!!!

Finish this drive!!

[SteelerFanInStl]

Good job Redman!! Keep it moving guys!

[Polamalu Princess]

Go Big Red!!!

[steeldawg]

Woohoo!!! Get physical boys!!!

[Craic]

WOW. Nice to see this type of running.

[Count Steeler]

HEATH!!!!!

[The Duke]

There's last game difference!

[Polamalu Princess]

HEATH!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kmsteelerwr15]

HHHEEEAAATTTHHH!!!!

[SteelerFanInStl]

Beautiful catch Heath!!!

[HometownGal]

Ben to Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeath!!! :rockon: :bananadoggywow:

[fansince'76]

Big difference from Spaeth. Way to lay out for it.

EDIT: That might come back....

[Craic]

VERY nice catch.

[kmsteelerwr15]

Close but will more than likely be overturned

[SteelerFanInStl]

Damn! That's coming back. Ben overthrew him or else it would've been a TD.

[HometownGal]

That ball did NOT touch the ground.

[steeldawg]

That is a catch ball never hits the ground

[steeldevil]

Better throw equals td

[steelerdude15]

Incomplete pass.

[43Hitman]

I think because he regained control before anyone touched him and the ball never touched the ground it will be upheld.

[Polamalu Princess]

Please rule our way - please!!!

[Count Steeler]

Should not come back. Did not look like the ball touched the ground. His hands were under the ball.

[Craic]

I almost hope it isn't a TD.

It'd be nice to eat up more time, and eat up yards as well. We could stretch this out to almost 10 minutes or more.

[Godfather]

It ALMOST hit the ground. Failure to overturn it is a ticky-tacky review and proof the refs are cheating so the sponsors get their Packers-Steelers Super Bowl.

[Dodt]

please let it stand

[Dodt]

bull

[HometownGal]

BULLSHIT.

[steelerdude15]

Good call by the refs.

[The Duke]

oh well....

[kmsteelerwr15]

damn, no surprise there

[Polamalu Princess]

ERU(#$^#$^T#!!!!

[Count Steeler]

Shit lost the feed?

[fansince'76]

Dammit. Oh well, at least we won't have to hear about the refs giving us the game.

[Craic]

I thought it hit the ground BUT... It CAN NOT BE SEEN.

How can you overturn that?

[steeldawg]

garbage!!!!!

[SteelerFan091472]

The ref needs his eyes checked. That ball never hit the ground.

[Dodt]

hope ben is allright

[kmsteelerwr15]

Don't slow down offense

[SteelerFanInStl]

Come on, let's get a TD!!!

[kmsteelerwr15]

3rd and long, convert it!

[steelerdude15]

Very nice run Ben, very nice.

[Polamalu Princess]

Nice job Ben!

[Craic]

YOU ARE A GAMER

[kmsteelerwr15]

Hell yeah Ben!!!

[HometownGal]

OMG BEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :rockon: :rockon: :rockon:

[fansince'76]

Beautiful run, Ben! :tt02:

[SteelerFanInStl]

First down Ben!!! Good job Ben!

[Dodt]

[Count Steeler]

Broken foot, broken nose, Sore thigh. What a warrior.

[The Duke]

I think he is considering that run

[Polamalu Princess]

Time to score!!!

[Count Steeler]

LET"S GET PHYSICAL

[fansince'76]

Wow - EIGHT minutes off the clock already.

[kmsteelerwr15]

Nice Mendy!!!!!

[HometownGal]

I'm loving this! :applaudit: This O is really in sync on this drive.

[SteelerFanInStl]

Mendy's running strong. Keep it going O!

[Craic]

This drive is just brutal!! LOVE IT

[Dodt]

nice run cannonball

[Polamalu Princess]

Broken foot, broken nose, Sore thigh. What a warrior.

He is tough, no doubt about it.

[Dodt]

[SteelerFanInStl]

First and goal. Let's go boys!!!

[Count Steeler]

THERE IS NO BETTER QUARTERBACK! PERIOD!

[kmsteelerwr15]

Hines!!!! 1st and goal!! PUNCH IT IN!!!

[HometownGal]

Ward down at the 1. :applaudit: First and goal - GO STEELERS! :tt02:

[The Duke]

7 and more than half of the first quarter would be beautiful here

Heck of a catch hines!!

[Craic]

Oh crap. Pouncy got rolled up on

[fansince'76]

Pouncey - NOOOO!

[Polamalu Princess]

Pouncy hurt. Oh no.

[steeldawg]

Please get up pouncey

[SteelerFanInStl]

Pouncey down. Dammit!!! Why do our guys keep getting hurt?

[Chidi29]

Pouncey!

[Count Steeler]

Who tried to hurt Pouncey?

[steelerdude15]

Great pass by Ben and great catch by Hines. I hope Pouncey is ok.

[HometownGal]

[Dodt]

[kmsteelerwr15]

Shit! Pouncey is down. Please be alright

[43Hitman]

I hope Pouncey is okay....

[Texasteel]

God, not Pouncey.

[Count Steeler]

Cmon guys. Convert here. Let's get 7.

[steeldevil]

Lets see if someone hurt him on purpose.

[Craic]

Well,

Its time for Leg. to come in for a few plays... he's played so many positions I hope he remembers how to play center :chuckle:

[Chidi29]

Time to step up Doug if you're needed for any length of time.

[SteelerSal]

Be OK..please!!

[Craic]

NO ONE tried to hurt Pouncy.. .it looked like he just got rolled up on.

[Chidi29]

Means we can't go to Bronko package :(

[kmsteelerwr15]

That is not good at all

[43Hitman]

oh shit

[Count Steeler]

Does not look good for Pouncey.

[HometownGal]

OMFG. I think I'm going to be sick. :horror:

[SteelerFanInStl]

That does NOT look good. :(

[Steel]

That will not be good if he can't continue!!! Damn...

[fansince'76]

Looks bad. Son of a bitch. :frusty:

[Polamalu Princess]

TD!!!!!!!!!!!

[Count Steeler]

TOUCHDOWN!!!! MENDY!!!

[HometownGal]

TOUCHDOWN MENDY!!! :applaudit: :tt02: :rockon:

[Craic]

You all see Legursksies drive as well? WOW.

[Texasteel]

That was a beautiful drive. How long did it take?

[Boomerang]

Get the miracle doctors at work over on the sidelines. Cmon Pouncey, I pray your quick recovery.

[The Duke]

Great run mendenhall. And great game so far for him!

[steelerdude15]

That is a great opening drive.

[JayC]

[Count Steeler]

9 minutes and 6 seconds. A work of art.
