I couldn't resist! The head coach inspired me...
Hey I was thinking, at least one get one more day of rest/prep than the Patriots!

This thread could wait until after Baltimore. The Steelers still have to play a tough team that is also a division rival that always plays them tough
Im not looking ahead toward pats game, Im looking ahead to Super Bowl. Hope its the Vikes but think it will be Eagles.
this game is an oddity because it has no bearing on the #1 seeding if we lose to the Patriots. lose to the patriots, and the only way we get the #1 seed is if the patriots lose to bills or jets at gilette stadium. and we all know the browns are more likely to win the superbowl than that. technically we could also lose the #1 seed if we lose to the texans or browns. but if that were the case, we really wouldnt deserve to go anywhere anyways
Really just hoping for a lot of injuries and fights on Monday. Gronkowski suspended an extra game for running onto the field and shouting "FRESHMAN!!!" while giving the ref a noogie. One of their unathletic generic white receivers trips and tears both ACLs on a fake reverse play, and gets his helmet stuck in Brady's cavernous ass. Brady out for the season after anal stabilization surgery. Just a few small things like that.
See you Space Cowboy ...
"struggled at home"
ha we wish. i think the world knows those 2 losses are an aberrant in an otherwise typical patriots season. at worst the patriots finish a "vulnerable" 13-3. remember everybody pointing aggressively at the patriots defense early in the season? omg look how vulnerable they are on defense. thats just a distant memory now. 9th in scoring defense (which is all that matters), and ever since their week 4 loss to the panthers theyve held every single team down to less points than their scoring average. 8 in a row.
Ben will need to continue to work his 4th quarter magic if we want to win
Instructive how the Steelers' 5th-ranked scoring defense supposedly isn't legit because they've faced mostly scrub QBs, but the Patriots' 9th-ranked scoring defense somehow is legit after facing mostly scrub QBs...
Taperiots face a bevy of subpar QBs: Dat defense is good.
Steelers face a bevy of subpar QBs: Da Stillers defense sucks.
Taperiots needed three missed FGs by Nick Folk to beat the lowly Buccaneers: Belichick has got moxie.
Steelers needed three game-winning FGs to beat the lowly Colts, Packers, & Bengals: Tomlin always loses to subpar teams.
et cetera
ESPN looking ahead too - announced this morning the Sunday NFL Countdown show is going on the road to be broadcast from Pittsburgh next Sunday
Not certain what sort of onlookers you get at the broadcast site from 11 am to 1 pm for the show with a 4:25 kickoff
If any of you are watching the colts and bills game...the colts just got screwed going up 8-7 then long after the play called a flag for offensive pass interference on the 2 point conversion (they knew if buffalo loses we automatically clinch a playoff spot) after they converted it, guy was blocking within a yard and called it. Luckily they tied it with the extra point but this game is being played in a monster lake effect snow storm. I know we will more than likely get in the playoffs but I believe with a minute left in the game buffalo would have never came back and lost. Im a conspiracy theorist and that just reeked of it to me...lol. Colts just picked off a pass....so we can clinch a playoff spot even before we play tonight if the colts win. I know, i know...i want the #1 seed too!!!!

of course vinaterri misses the game winning FG
If this league should survive long enough, what cities in other countries do you guys/gals see getting franchises, and what are some cool nicknames for those teams?
Yes a tie we would clinch a playoff spot as well...which is very likely now(thanks to the snow)

of course buffalo converts a long pass

cleveland still couldnt win...up 21-14 with a min left and still lose in overtime?????
Hope they prove me wrong but I'm not looking forward to this ass kicking.
This team has won too many close games against too many inferior teams. Teams like that tend to get exposed by superior teams, and the Pats will certainly expose them
Maybe, maybe not. Any given Sunday.
