First of all, great win for you guys this past weekend. Only one word to describe that performance, and that is 'awesome'. I seen where two men who were cheering for the 49ers, at a Georgia Appleby's, got shot by a New Orleans fan.
I realize football is a passion for many of us, but this is ridiculous. One is in critical condition!
When the Steelers lost to the Bronco's, I immediatedly got a few e-mails from one friend in Cleveland, and another from N. Carolina (Dallas Fan) 'ripping' on me about the Steelers. You know, if I wouldn't have received them from those guys, I would have thought they were mad at me. I actually got a good laugh out of them.
There are a lot of poor-sports out there. The sad part is, many fans seem to take a loss much harder than the players.
Good luck this week...please beat Baltimore!..lol... Patriot's & the Giants would make for a great Super Bowl Match-up!

Steelcurtain, you always 'bring it.'
How pathetic that someone could actually shoot someone else because of which team the individual was cheering for.
The Steelers organization has always fielded a competitive team; unfortunate that you were nailed by injuries late in the season.
Thanks for the well wishes for next Sunday. I'm sure the Pats will do their best to send the Ravens packing. -

Getting shot for cheering for the 49ers seems a bit harsh, a beating would be more fitting. -

Steel, as always the "class" of our visiting posters. Appreciate the kudos and in spite of the Patriots performance that night, especially the D, there is not much love at all for the team still. Seems everyone looks at the Ravens and they'll do the job. Funny, the Ravens did not look dominating at all against a rookie QB nor did their offense look that great. Somehow, a team which is 4 - 4 on the road, including loses to two teams with losing records, is going to march into Foxboro and do against Brady and the Pats offense what it couldn't do against the Texans. Take away Yates bonehead INTs, the Ravens lose! But, it is what it is! -

Total f uckin a ssholes. I was in El Paso,Texas when we beat the raiders in the snow 2003. The bar we went to happened to be the meeting place of the raiders fan club. After the game we got into a huge brawl because, a couple of hammered yahoos went way over the top,in which somebody capped a few shots. Fortunately no one got hit except a tv and pool table but really it was dicey situation that could've ended horribly. It usually starts with good natured smack talking,but there is always 1 or 2 people that just get carried away and lose their minds over a stupid game. Thing is, this stuff happens all over the world. Sad but true. -

Patsfansince1966.
The Steelers, and especially not me, are using injuries as an excuse. You'll never hear me use injuries or the officials as an excuse for losing... Can you say the same thing about yourself? The year Brady was out and the Patriots had a lot of injuries, were you one of the one's who said, 'The Steelers beat our Junior Varsity Team?' By the way '66', I also thought that was maybe Coach Belechicks best coaching job, up until this season.
Ben was moving around just fine in the second half..the Steelers have been terrible on the road this season, and I really wasn't surprised that they loss. The linebackers and Defensive backs were all healthy. Ryan Clark isn't very good against the pass, so that didn't hurt them. Issac Redmond more than filled in for Mendenhall. The Bronco's also played inspired football for 60 minutes, so the credit has to go to them. -

Posted by Philskiw1We don't know each other, but somehow you know my hot buttons.The lowest point in the history of football was having Fireman Ed do the intro to MNF after they fired Hank Williams Jr. While both are brain damaged and ignorant, at least Hank wasn't a Jets fan. -

Thanks for the story Steel, as much as a big playoff loss cripples me for a couple days I could never imagine shooting someone over it. Are they sure it wasn't Pac-Man?
In my opinion Firemaggot Ed is the most annoying thing about the NFL........except the Fox Robot and Joe Buck. Does anyone listen to how many mistakes he makes in the course of a game?
I keep hoping the huddle camera on wires golfs Ed off his little platform. -

Hard luck season for your Steelers this year. They lost their shot at returning to the SB, when they allowed themselves to be swept by the Ravens. I get the feeling that Steeler Nation will be strongly behind the Patriots when they square off against the hated, loud-mouth Buzzards, this coming Sunday.
I really like their set of young WRs. If they can solidify their OL, and add another TE to mimic what the Pats have with Hernandez and Gronk, their offense could be prolific: http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/sports/steelers/s_776719.html
On defense, they need help at CB, and need to replace some of their aging defensive stars, such as James Harrison, Brett Keisel, and James Farrior.

Dustcover, that was hilarious! Thanks for the link!

Hey Steel75 !!!
How do you think the game with the Buzzards will pan out? I think it will be close. Hope the referrees are legit unlike the Packers game yesterday. I do not like the GMen, but they were getting hosed by the officials, can you imagine if that bad call on a fumble reversal actually decided the game???
Officiating has been very suspect this season and throughout the playoffs.
