Steelers guarantee

Is Indy the only team that has learned that they should just keep their damn yappers shut?

Oh Brother! Don't they ever learn. I am sure his teammates and coaches are real please about this. As if a 12-0 team on a mission to eliminate everything and everyone who crosses their path, whose legitamacy has been questioned continually throughout the year, needs any more incentive.

Does Anthony Smith not realize that the Patriots love bulletin-board material?

Sweet! This is just what the doctor ordered on short week's rest against a tough but flawed opponent. Someone put it up on Harrison's locker.

What do we get if they don't?

Wonderful. I am taking my life savings and going to Las Vegas to double them up :)

That is GREAT!
Come on, Pats! They open their mouth and challenge us now. How are we going to respond?
We need this. After 2 bad games, THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT WE NEED. Hope those guys in the locker room can hear.

good for him, id be interested in knowing how many garuntees work out when it comes to the patriots. I like this kind of chatter, makes it that much more sweeter when we win. I wonder what kind of excuse they will have when we win again.

Who?

Do the Steelers ever stop talking?!?! I'm pretty sure Hines Ward was behind Smith talking about how the best team lost in 2001. Does anyone in the AFC North ever shut up or stop making excuses?!?! What a bone headed move, this is great bulletin board material. By the way....who is Anthony Smith?

Who is Anthony Smith?

LMAO......PLAYERS NEVER LEARN......NOW THIS WEEK WE ARE GOING TO SEE THE PATRIOTS OF THE EARLY IN THE SEASON......THESE COMMENTS ARE GOING TO GIVE BRADY ESPECIALLY MOSS MOTIVATION TO LIGHT UP THE PITTSBURGH SECONDARY LOL.....READ HIS COMMENTS IN THE PITTSBURGH GAZZETTE LOL.....NEW ENGLAND HAS THE BEST RECIEVEING CORPS IN THE NFL PERIOD NOT THE BENGALS.........I HOPE BRADY ATTACKS HIM ESPECIALLY SO HE CAN GET MOSSED LOL

Great job Anthony!!!!!! Nothing like pumping up the Pats and getting the Pats fired up to remain undefeated. Well at least you got your 15 minutes of fame!!!

Pats have had their eyes on this game for a few weeks now, maybe looked past the Eagles and Ravens with this one in mind. Remember Tomlin's remarks after 'Spygate' broke out? It's a guarantee the Pats do. Steelers will need extra bags to bring their body parts home with them after this one...

They gave up 28 to the Browns, lost to the JETS; then played two straight mud bowls at home. Hardly an overwhelming record on which to base such a guarantee. Although, as a recent grad of Syracuse, 9 wins must make him feel like superman!

The only thing the steelers just guaranteed is their demise. teams will never learn that it isn't wise to give Pats bulletin-board material like this

Exactly, WHO?

Can we get some crowd noise PLEASE!!! If you can't get behind these players then WHO? Superstars everywhere you look! Not a typical Patriots team. Give them 60 minutes fans!

It is the other incentives that Pats needed to get mad again, so that they can start playing football.

patriots have a lock on winning the super bowl , that,s there goal , everything else is secondary

The coach is right. Focus on one game at a time. The Patriots have the talent and intelligence to beat anyone. A 16-0 season depends a lot on keeping the whole squad healthy. "The road gets tougher. It's lonlier and rougher." I hope we run it up a bit in the 4th quarter if we can to shut up the critics up for awhile. rhdavignon

An early Christmas present from Anthony Smith! What do you think should get him?

I don't mind his predictions etc.
I just hope he isn't a poor sport and cry baby like some of the Ravens are.

They Better Win is all I have to say. I lost my vehicle on the last game and have my boat on the line for this one....

The patriots look tired and they will be defeated this weekend.

Tooooo funny.

Meh, it gives the Steeler fans something to get excited about - until the Patriots rips out their heart and leave it on the field at Gillette.

Great bulletin board material, Anthony Smith. Who are you again?

Years ago I lived in Pittsburgh, and used to go to Pitt Stadium to see the Steelers play. This was before Three Rivers was built. Well one nasty rainy day in Nov. before the Steelers went to the AFC, they had to play the Eagles to see who got first pick in the draft. Even then the Steelers got it wrong. They won! Oh, and I remember another game I saw against the Giants, and they couldn't catch QB Fran Tarkenton for love nor money. Looks like they are on "Draft Duty" again, only this time in reverse.

Way to go Steelers!

Just another example of the Cowher - less Steelers spiraling steadily towards mediocrity. Bill The Jaw never would have let that Smith guy (who is he, again?) be so stupid as to give us BB material, especially given the big game history between these two clubs.(((Read advantage Pats)).

Thanks, Anthony. The Check's in the mail.

"NOTHING is written."

GO STEELERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ed why dont you go back ro your Squealer message board

To quote Matt Foley, "I wish you'd just shut your... DAMN YAPPER."

Aw, shucks, I might have screwed this up. Um, can I say I think I guarantee a win?

Anthony Smith, meet Freddie Mitchell -- (self proclaimed People's Champ, The Sultan of Slot, First Down Freddie, Fourth Down Freddie, Hollywood, 4th and 26 Freddie, and FredEx) -- now an ex-Eagle, and substitute teacher. See you on Sunday.

The last time the Steelers saw Tom Brady he was the coin-flipper in Super Bowl XL.

Yeah, I made the same comment years ago. Baltimore never listened either.
sincerely,
Joe Namath

Be careful what you ask for Pats fans. Last Season Smitty put housh out of a game when housh ran a route over the middle and this year in the preseason he knocked Kevin Curtis senseless when Curtis lined up in the slot and tried to catch a ball over the middle (you know sort of like Welker tends to do) don't get me wrong Smith is young and probably stupid for saying what he said but the NE WR's better have their heads on a swivel b/c this guys hits like a young Brian dawkins.........if you don't believe me just check out some of his hits on you tube.

You'll know who he is on Sunday night. He is a hard hitting 2nd year free safety. The Patsies are very fortunate not to have lost the last 2 weeks.

I Agree, The Steelers will win, and then will have to hear all you crybaby patsie bandwagoners making up every excuse, patsie fans watch number 92 James Harrison, he will be all over Brady, get ready to cry in your chowda, HERE WE GO STEELERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To Anthony Smith:

"If you plan to pull the tigers tail, you had better plan for his teeth"

BB-BB = Bill Belichick - Bulletin Board

"Yeah we are going to win, I can guarantee it"
"Anthony Smith" (2nd Year Cornerback-Pittsburgh Steelers 2007)

That's exactly the attitude that all NFL players should be taking against their opponents. It's the attitude that Philly and Baltimore came in with. Now a team like Buffalo on the other hand, flat out quit. They were not that overmatched physically or talentwise. Overmatched, sure, but not by anywhere near as much as those final scores would indicate. Mentally, they were toast before the opening kickoff.

It's going to be a great test for the Patriots and that's what they need right now, a test against another elite team. If they are not up to snuff it's better to find out now instead of in January.

We shall see. Pats do not need more motivation. Neither do the Steelers. It is, what it is. A tough late season game between two teams headed for the playoffs. Wish these young guys would let their play do all the talking.

As a Steelers fan I really can't say I like this...

Has anyone even heard of Anthony Smith? If this was Ben or Polomalu, it would be news. This - this is not news. Nor does it change the Pat's motivation level in the least little bit.

Neither team needs any motivation other than what already exists.

What can I say? Oh yeah -- the Steelers have 5 rings without cheating. Should be a good game between two good teams. Go Steelers!

If the Pats are playing the way they have been playing in the last two games they will get beat by the Steelers. On the other hand, I hope the Pats don't let their opponents beat them at their home field especially the Steelers are the under dog.
I hope the Pats will gain some respect back after two closed games with the big under dog. If they can scores more and more then the starters can get some rest in the 4th quarter and the final results some thing like Pats 49 Steeler 14.
Steelers fans watch out! this is the NFL.

Who?

Anthony Smith is a future Pro Bowl calibre player , who would start on most teams right now, was taken completely out of context. His statement was that if we( the Steelers) play a perfect game, completely error free game I can guarentee a win. Isn't that what every team will say? A perfect error free game means every O play is a touch down, every D play is a sack or interception. follow the logic.
Has having Belicheck infuence ruined the once proud and respected Pats fan? Steelers and Pats were once brothers-in arms as good solid respected teams and fans, don't let the dark side ruin you.

All you Patriot smacks will find out who Anthony Smith is the first time one of your receivers goes over the middle and gets their head knocked off. The track record proves it, hit Randy once and he is invisible the rest of the day.

Yes...this is the NFL Peter Pham! The Steelers aren't "supposed" to win this game. They play their best when they are the underdogs. And if the Patsies play like they have the past two games with their guard down and Brady rolling over and dying when a blitz is coming, the Steelers will win. They have nothing to lose. The Patriots have a 16-0 record to lose. Week to week...you never know what will happen in the NFL...GO STEELERS!!!!

Bad Ed, read the article on the Gazette website again. Where did it say anything about playing a perfect game? Don't try and make excuses for a stupid comment by an immature player popping off. The Pats seem to feed off this stuff and they are playing at home and it's not like the Steelers have been all that impressive in the past four weeks. Time to look in the mirror.

C'mon, you expect the Steelers to be scared of a 12-0 team?! We're talking about the PITTSBURGH STEELERS here. The team that ended your Patsys 20-game win streak on Halloween 2004. Then went on to stop the Eagles win streak the following week, spoiling two teams potential for undefeated seasons.

Steeler fan fears nothing. 12 game win streak ain't nothing to fear.

There is no way in hell the Pats get 49 on the Steelers......It should be a good game. Brady is a great QB and Ben makes a ton of plays it should be fun. Here We Go Steelers Here We Go!

The Patriots are a finesse football team but not very tough. The Steelers on the other hand are a tough football team with a little finesse. Sunday’s game will be like watching an elephant stroll through a fine china shop. Patriot fans need to get their broom and dust pan ready to sweep up their broken dishes when it’s over!

I love how all the Pats fans talk about how ridiculous it is to guarantee a victory...and then turn around and guarantee one themselves in the other direction.

It's going to be a good game, people. If you wanted to beat a team to beat the Patriots, they'd look a lot like the Steelers. Anyone who starts trying to pretend that Pittsburgh is somehow incapable of winning this game instantly loses their credibility. A Steeler team very similar to this one snapped NE's 21-game streak just a couple years ago.

Sit back and enjoy the game. And for goodness' sake, stop trying to pretend Anthony Smith speaks for the entire team. Sheesh.

Oh, and anyone who doesn't know who Anthony Smith of us telling us more about their football knowledge than they are about Smith's talent, which is plainly evident.

Doug,
so you believe everything you read in any paper?? and Bill clinton never had sex with Monica?? I listened to the local radio show who had Smith on talking about it. True he is immature player but it was less caustic than you are being led to believe.
Neither side needs any BB material, the best D vs best O, and on the other side a very good D vs a very good O.

Pats will win because the Steelers are pretenders not contenders.

onto 16-0

GO PATS!!

Oh I think Mr. Smith was misunderstood. He was jumping the gun and talking about the Rams. I understand now.

Can someone tell me what I will get if the Steelers don't win....Smith has money maybe a new car.

I think he should buy all the Steelers fans a new car. What does this Guarantee entail? Unless there is a deliberate "go out and take out a key player” not that the Steelers do that hmmm.. Brady in the afc championship that "Bledsoe" came in on or hmm does Palmer ring a bell just weighing in what the guarantee means... Oh well It will be great game. Oh did I mention as a die hard pats fan that I am 22-0 when I watch a pats game at the stadium.. I have tickets for this game .. Hope Smith doesn't block me from getting into the stadium...

1 more thing MR. Smith # 81 learn that number you are going to see it a lot and if you are dyslexic it #18 it is the same result. Goodluck steeler fans!!!!!

PATS CAN TALK ALL THEY WANT! THE NFL WANTS THEM TO GO 16-0 AND THATS WHY THE REFS CALL B.S STUFF! NOT TO MENTION THE CHEATING CLUB THAT THEY ARE, THEY WILL NEED TO CHEAT AND HAVE B.S CALLS TO BEAT THE STEELERS. DOES NEW ENGLAND HAVE 5 SUPER BOWLS?? DIDNT THINK SO

Scotts right . The refs did call make a bunch of BS calls. Pass interference etc.
Oh I'm sorry that was the Indy game. Oh yeah the steelers were great .. In the 70's!!!

Doug,
here is the proof from your own local paper "The kid hedged in many directions, indicating his team could win if it played a perfect game, but the part of his quote that sticks is, "We're going to win. Yeah, I guarantee a win on Sunday."" from the Boston globe. Only to prove his statement was interpreted to create a controversy between two teams who have been in big games before.
So Pats fans and reporters need to be able to perform a little critical evaluation of what the facts are instead of what they are fed such as Belicheck stand for integrity in the game of football, ROFL!

yeah I loved the guarantee chant after the game was sealed today!! I just wish the Steelers could have put up a couple more points so that Brady would have went over his 410 yd record. in the 4th! Smith is a Joke and the late hit at the end of the game shows his character.

his eyes were poppin' out of his head as he was making the statement. what a dummy.
