Go Steelers!!

I like the way you think !

Things are going to be crazy here in Pittsburgh. I just hope they don't
choke this time. It would be nice for "The Bus" to retire with a Super Bowl ring.

Agreed, I'm in Pittsburgh as well and the fans are rabid. I'm psyched.

As a Charlotte native I'm very disappointed with my panthers performance in the NFC championship game.

I've already requested the 6th off so I can watch my Steelers.

My wife feels like she's on another planet when we visit my family in the burgh. Even during the offseason Steeler pride is displayed proudly all over the area. She's from San Antonio where you only pay attention to sports when the Spurs are in the playoffs.

Well, I'm going with the seahawks just because I think now it's obvious Holmgren is a pretty good coach.

JONTHEBOMB · « **Reply #13 on:** January 23, 2006, 08:03:21 pm »

I want the Seahawks to win because they haven't won a superbowl yet and those dang Steelers stole a superbowl win from my Vikings.

I predict the score will be Seahawks 21 to Steelers 17.

AC. · « **Reply #14 on:** January 23, 2006, 10:08:59 pm »

It will be the Seahawks because Paul Allen does not have enough going for him.

Its also obvious that Bill Cowher is also a great coach! GOOOOOO STEELERS!

On a side note..... can you believe that Big Ben is only 23!!!! I can't imagine playing in the superbowl in only his 2nd year in the league at that age!!!! No pressure.... I wonder if he is just too naive to realize that he isn't supposed to play this well at this early point of his career! He looked like a 10 year vetern against the Bronco's

where is the option of NOT CARING which one wins.

Cause to be honest Im a huge football fan but I could careless about these teams.

Marino was a few months younger, and iirc, he was in his rookie year when he went to the Super Bowl.

rugby1 · « **Reply #19 on:** January 25, 2006, 06:39:43 pm »

yeah cowhler only went to the superbowl once.... and lost! but he has taken the steelers to the AFC championship 6 times in like 12 or 14 years which is pretty damn good imho.... granted going 2-4 in the AFC championship isn't something to brag about

DrewKaree · « **Reply #20 on:** January 25, 2006, 09:42:02 pm »

I wonder just how many times this is for Holmgren going to the Super Bowl? I know this is his 3rd time as head coach, but how many times total?

Looking forward to my new SI subscription (ordered the day after the victory to get the free gift of course) and planning for the Seahawk's 32nd pick of the 2006 NFL draft...

go 9ers. i'm hoping for the seattle slaughter. we don't need any 6th seeds or wildcards as champions.

Zero_Hour · « **Reply #24 on:** January 26, 2006, 05:14:44 pm »

When the 6th seed beats the 1, 2, and 3 seeds to get there, I'm totally OK with it.

It might not be 'One for the Thumb', but a 5th Super Bowl victory for the Steelers would be sweet nonetheless.

not knowing much about american football, i just ckiked on the one i liked the name of, seahawks (i think i closed my eyes and clicked) i do like watching american football but i dont understand the rules, i know about touchdowns and field goals (thats just like rugby) but 1st downs 2nd play

? what is all that about etc and the yellow line??

if you can point me to the direction of a site that can explain the rules in laymans terms i would be greatful.

oh and why in all american sports do they have stats for everything the player has ever done in his life etc. some are interesting but dont understand when they go, donald trump .600 average with an increase of 3.54321 to the left

Zero_Hour · « **Reply #27 on:** January 31, 2006, 03:12:12 pm »

Well this guide seems very simple, but it could be a good starting point for learning the basics of NFL style football.

http://www.play-football.net/en/rules/beginnersguide.php

I can't explain the obsession with player stats though, for me the only stats that matter are Wins and Losses.

DrewKaree · « **Reply #28 on:** January 31, 2006, 07:23:53 pm »

The stats are always useful for "comparison" purposes and arguments/disagreements between fans. For instance, look up the stats for a football player named Art Monk. Then look up the stats for another player named Michael Irvin.

Irvin is a friggen tool of a human being. Monk was a quiet professional. Irvin dresses like a pimp. Monk faded into retirement. Irvin is bombastic, prideful, and often lacking common sense in arguments. Monk would have to be drugged to say something bad about another player.

After looking at their stats and comparing what these two professionals (and I use the term loosely with Irvin) have done for a career, take a guess who's going to go into the Hall Of Fame.

Now, Michael Irvin SHOULD be in the Hall Of Fame, but to have him in there when Art Monk epitomizes what the word "professional" means is a damned crime. Speaking of crime, will Irvin give his acceptance speech in prison stripes?

Irvin has also been arrested multiple times on drug and prostitution offenses despite having a wife and children. Irvin was just arrested a few weeks ago, again, and was nearly fired from ESPN.

When the 6th seed beats the 1, 2, and 3 seeds to get there, I'm totally OK with it.

had they not taken out our quarterback, they'd've never met the 1 or 2 seeds! there's a reason kitna's the #2 qb.

just when cincy had something to hope for. i almost feel another "dark age" coming because of that. it seems like the perfect catalyst for this hard luck city. i certainly hope not.

heck...it's easy to be a steeler fan when your team is performing good nearly every year. the true fans emerge when a drought occurs.

anyways, go seahawks. hines ward is just...i don't like the guy. and i hate seeing bettis get into the end zone on a one yard run when that was the only play on the drive he was in, half the time untouched, screaming his brains out like he's the greatest. and for god's sake...HE FUMBLED THE BALL ON THE EASIEST PLAY IN THE INDY GAME! his ONLY objective was take care of the football, and he didn't do it! don't get me wrong though, i don't dislike bettis...i just dislike bettis the player. but i don't like ward at all.

if they win, i'm only happy for ben. ben's an awesome guy. not because he's so young at this time of his career, but just because he's highly respectable.

and steeler fans can be so obnoxious!

so when is arizona gonna wake up and have a football team?

Maybe, maybe not. We'll never know will we? And Kitna seemed to be playing fine against the Steelers, at least for the first half. Twice in that game Cincy had 10 point leads, and couldn't hold onto them. We survived some horrible calls, and some horrible mistakes against Indy, and pretty much destroyed the Broncos. The Steelers earned their spot.

Too much talent in Cincy, and too good of a coach for it all to fall apart that quickly. They'll be back, and at least they don't nauseate me the way the Ravens used to.

Quote

Yup. True enough, but I did suffer through the likes of Cliff Stoudt, Mark Malone, Bubby Brister, as well as the soap opera that was Kordell Stewart. I'd like to think I'm a true Steeler Fan. All winning teams get the bandwagon effect, that's part of the nature of sports.

Well to each their own, I'm a fan of both Bettis, and Ward. Classy guys in my opinion, and the irony of the Bettis fumble was that it was his only one the entire season. Kudos to the Indy player that hit the ball square with his helmet.

And a team with no obnoxious fans would be...? If I recall correctly Sam Wyche had to once use the PA system in Cincy to tell the fans to behave themselves. "You live in Cincinatti, not Cleveland!" I belive was the phrase he used.

Quote

Maybe when they move the fanchise to LA? Then again, probably never under any circumstances.

Ouch. I can't think of a better rebuttal than Zero_hour's, except that I'd like to add Neil O'donell to his list. We've seen good times and bad times, but the only way to get a seat in the stadium is spending many years on the waiting list for season tickets. My family has probably only missed a small handful of televised games for as long as I can remember (including the Bubby days).

Visit the 'burgh during a bad football year and see if you can count all the Steeler hats, jackets, banners, etc you see in every neighborhood.

Sorry about your quarterback. I hate to see the good ones get injured.

Boring game, but the right team won. What was up with Seattle's poor time management?

Nailz · « **Reply #38 on:** February 06, 2006, 11:20:29 am »

Or the fact that Seattle got screwed on a few HUGE calls that should have been a no-call. The push-off in the first half to waive a touch-down, Roethlisbergers touchdown where he didn't actually cross the goal line, and the "holding" call that took the Seahawks from being 1st and goal on the one to being out of scoring range and then throwing the interception.

The STeelers may very well have scored on that 4th down, but the other two were weak calls, even noted by the commentators, huge game changing calls.

Seems that 80% of the officials were Steelers fans too......

ChadTower · « **Reply #39 on:** February 06, 2006, 11:25:52 am »

The game was there to be won for Seattle in the fourth quarter and they did not win it. That's all that matters.
