Steelers vs Patriots

[Simple Man]

Yeah, You know

Hold all the discussion in here.

[blueduck5000]

Steelers will win, just like last time.

[Kurtz]

Go Steelers!

[The JoZ]

You bastard, I wanted to make this thread :upset:

Go Steelers!

[Simple Man]

Haha, I knew someone would so I beat you guys to it.

:p

[The JoZ]

Postcount ++

:p

[iliketoplaydrums10111]

Steelers won't win like last time

Last time, the Patriots ran the ball for 5 times for 6 yards. They didn't have Dillon, hence Brady threw more. Now they have Dillon, it's gonna be a good game.

Benny is struggling right now in the playoffs

[looozer]

Go Steelers. That's about the degree to which I care to discuss it :)

It'll be a Steelers wankfest until Disconnection Notice gets here.

[simplephotographinthesun]

i am also rooting for the steelers

[Daven]

****, everyone in here are steelers fans but im going to the patriots

[Wanker]

go pats

[simplephotographinthesun]

Steelers won't win like last time

Benny is struggling right now in the playoffs

i dont believe ben is struggling in the playoffs as the divisional game vs. the jets was his first postseason start/game/appearance ever. now if he starts sucking against the pats, then id label him as struggling

[jaymz_is_god]

Hope the Steelers win.

[Red Stripe]

I hate Pittsburgh, i hate them even more because they beat the Jets, but anyway i think the Pats will massacre the Steelers

[Johnny B. Good]

Go Pittsburgh.
I think the Steelers are going to rip the Fu(kin Patriots a new @sshole

[ThePatient]

Anyone but the Steelers. GO PATS!

[CaptainWaits]

Anyone but the Pats.....GO STEELERS!!

[NewKindofArmy03]

If the Steelers win, this state(PA) is going to be crazy.

[sleepy1212]

fukin' right. Philly and Pitt = huge party at my house.

GO STEELERS!

[3074326]

I'm rooting for Pittsburgh, but I think the Patriots are going to play a great game.

If Pittsburgh can stop Dillon, they will win the game.

[pixiesfanyo]

Steelers go!

[I Am a Hat]

I want Patriots, because I used to live in Massachusettes. I just moved to Pennsylvania though, so I have to keep it a secret.

[Reaganista]

I couldn't care less, neither team has a chance.

[NewKindofArmy03]

I couldn't care less, neither team has a chance.
Haha, word.

I'd rep you if I could.

[Reaganista]

haha. Ben picking up right where he left off last week, I see.

[Butane]

If it's an all-PA bowl, I'm moving out.

Eagles fans are officially worse than Red Sox fans. Their little song, with them all singing, I couldn't help but call them faggots. It's pathetic.

Considering nothing good comes of the NFC, anything from the AFC will destroy. I'm predicting the Patriots to win. Since it's in Pittsburgh, they might feel heat from the fans, but Tom Brady is nothing short of a God.

[Reaganista]

You're a cool guy.

A sore loser and homophobic. Nice.

[Kurtz]

****.

[ThePatient]

I love this. :)

[Illmatic]

I....love....Branch!!!!

Boy, nothing better than shutting up the Bus....for someone with no rings he sure does love to talk.

[Simple Man]

Steelers are done.

It's over, Patriots came out to win.

[Kurtz]

**** **** ****.

This isn't looking good. :upset:

[Reaganista]

Looks like Tom Brady has a date with Jim Johnson.

[ThePatient]

And Tom Brady will pretend to goto the bathroom and skip out on the check. clever++

[Reaganista]

Nah, I think Johnson will just skip dinner and a movie and get right to ****ing him.

[Illmatic]

Brady will slip Jim Johnson a roofie and have his way with him

:D

[ThePatient]

As much as I don't like the Patriots, I don't see that happening.

--To The Tway

[Reaganista]

Brian Westbrook is healthy. The Eagles can't lose.

[pixiesfanyo]

Well, that was a good game. To bad for the Steelers.

[ThePatient]

This is the playoffs, Brady can't lose.

[Illmatic]

Brian Westbrook is healthy. The Eagles can't lose.

The Patriots exist. The Eagles can't win.

[Reaganista]

That's a good joke.

Get back to me in two weeks.

[Illmatic]

You're not the first to disrespect the defending champs.

You know, the Colts and Steelers did too.

[Butane]

You're a cool guy.

A sore loser and homophobic. Nice.

You bet, serious sally.

I could care less what happens in the NFC, it's a joke. I have more respect for the Red Sox Nation than I do Philadelphia now, and that's really horrible.

If Westbrook couldn't get a running game started against Atlanta, he has no real chance against the Patriots.

[Reaganista]

He averaged 6 yards a carry against the falcons, you ***.

And the Falcons and New England both allowed 3.9 yards per carry this year.

[Illmatic]

...you got somethin' against Red Sox fans?

[Butane]

Red Sox fans are pathetic.

6 yards a carry? That's a big deal to you?

[Reaganista]

Red Sox fans are pathetic.

6 yards a carry? That's a big deal to you?

Yes, that's dominating. You're seriously an idiot.

[Janitor]

Red Sox fans are pathetic.

You're an idiot.

[Butane]

...says the bandwagon fan.

That's not enough to even consider him a threat against the Patriots.

[Butane]

You're an idiot.

Someone dying over a VICTORY of a game isn't pathetic? I question your common sense.

[Janitor]

Which death are you talking about? There were a few, which were not the fault of the fans.

[Butane]

Had the riots not occurred, the deaths would not have accumulated.

[Janitor]

Great, so blame every fan.

[3074326]

Stop arguing, and keep the thread on topic.

This game is far from over. Aside from the long touchdown pass, the Steelers haven't given the Patriots much to be happy about.

[Kurtz]

Exactly. There's 2 1/2 quarters left for crying out loud.

[Reaganista]

...says the bandwagon fan.

That's not enough to even consider him a threat against the Patriots.

Yeah, bandwagon fan. You know absolutely nothing about me. I've watched **** near every Eagles game for over the past decade.

Now please stop trolling. It's not cool or funny.

[Illmatic]

Someone dying over a VICTORY of a game isn't pathetic? I question your common sense.

So you're going to judge an entire fanbase of millions on ONE FAN?

My god you're a dipshit.

[I Am a Hat]

Had the riots not occurred, the deaths would not have accumulated.
I bet you blame the Jews for the Holocaust, too.

[Illmatic]

Touchdown Patriots....

[Reaganista]

The Steelers must be playing rope-a-dope.

[Kurtz]

oh shi

[Illmatic]

Rodney Harrison!!!

[Reaganista]

So that's that.

[Illmatic]

Now I'm 104% sure this game is over.

[pixiesfanyo]

This is a secret Steelers strategy, it's called "Rookie Suck and Tuck"

[ThePatient]

Hahaha, Roethlisberger, ahahaha.

[HNLzero]

we b killing

Boston++

[guitarded_chuck]

tOuChDoWn BiOtCh YeYE!

Trust me, they're gonna come back.

[Kurtz]

Finally.

[pikester]

24-10 now

EDIT: Late++

[Distant Echoes]

Ive been saying all year the steelers were gonna win it all, but the way they played last week, i took that back.

I got 20 bucks on the Pats since they have more playoff experience...and id rather see the pats play the eagles then steelers, cause steelers will run right over us

[NewKindofArmy03]

Had the riots not occurred, the deaths would not have accumulated.
Riots occur WHENEVER a team wins a championship, get used to it.

[Kurtz]

Close call here...

[guitarded_chuck]

If the Steelers get another touchdown before the end of this quarter, it'll be close. But if the Pats can get another one, I don't think they'll get a chance to comeback.

[guitarded_chuck]

Urgh....

[simplephotographinthesun]

little mistakes have killed the steelers, its over

[Kurtz]

Touchdown Patiots.

That's it.

[guitarded_chuck]

I'm really getting tired of seeing the Pats kick everyones ***. They're becoming the Yankees of football. They'll beat the Eagles and get yet another Super Bowl. Is it just me, or does it get boring and annoying watching the same team win all the time?

[Wanker]

A team that's full of non-superstars?

Nah, it doesn't get boring.

[Cambodia]

The NFL is nothing like baseball. You play one game, not seven. If you aren't having a good game, too bad. Plus the salary cap and whatnot.

But the Steelers look they could make a comeback, but I don't see it happening. Tommy Maddox might just be something we do see though.

[pikester]

/jumps on pats bandwagon

[Shtein]

score

Patriots- 31

Steelers- 10


Its in the third quater

[simplephotographinthesun]

A team that's full of non-superstars?

Nah, it doesn't get boring.

id say Law, Brady, and Dillon are superstars

[guitarded_chuck]

A team that's full of non-superstars?

Nah, it doesn't get boring.
If they've won as many Super Bowls as they have in the last few years, I'd say the team is full of superstars... :rolleyes:

Anyway, who do you guys think will win the Super Bowl, Pats or Eagles?
I'm thinking Pats, even though I'd like to see McNabb win.

[Kurtz]

Pats. I'll be going for the Eagles though.

[pixiesfanyo]

Eagles.

People have been saying how they were going to lose since the start. And they've crushed everyone so far.

[Kurtz]

Touchdown Steelers.

[simplephotographinthesun]

Touchdown Steelers.

that was ridiculous

[guitarded_chuck]

w00t

A comeback would be so pimp right now. Too little to late likely.

[surfkauai]

Who won?

[Dr Funkenstein]

http://www.superbowl.com/gamecenter/live/NFL_20050123_NE@PIT

[Broken Arrow]

Touchdown Steelers.
Ben did a very nice job on that. I don't know if it is over yet though.

[simplephotographinthesun]

wow pittsburgh finally got a call in their favor :lol:

[Kurtz]

Hell yeah.

[jimiSRVhendrix]

this game is definatley not over yet, the steelers have the ball and are only down 2 touchdowns

[simplephotographinthesun]

oh **** the bus is rumbling

[pixiesfanyo]

Man, this game is so good.

[Broken Arrow]

Yeah he's hurt.

[Broken Arrow]

The Steelers just almost scored.

[jpj]

Steeler are coming back, you just watch.

[Broken Arrow]

Steelers are coming back! They're on the 5!
No 4.

[jpj]

No 4.
That's what I meant.

[Kurtz]

Oh come on...

[simplephotographinthesun]

simms is right, RUN THE GOD **** BALL

[Broken Arrow]

Why Field Goal?

[pixiesfanyo]

ha. they suck.

[Kurtz]

I would have gone for it for sure. It's only two ****ing yards.

[jpj]

God ****it We Should Ran It On ****ing 2nd!!! What The Hell Are They Doiung!!! ********************************!!!!!

[guitarded_chuck]

They should have just handed it off and explode of two yards. Seeing the score... oh well.

[simplephotographinthesun]

now the pats will eat up the clock, great job cowher :thumb:

[Dr Funkenstein]

They should have gone for it - I sense a "and TMQ wrote the words 'game over' in his notebook" moment.

[Kurtz]

The lead is back to two touchdowns.

[3074326]

The way the Steelers' defense was playing, the field goal was a good choice. The game isn't out of hand anymore.

If the Steelers would have went for it and not converted, game over. The game is still alive, but it's the Patriots' game to lose.

[Johnny B. Good]

****in Steelers Are Screwing Themselves Over!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

[Dr Funkenstein]

The way the Steelers' defense was playing, the field goal was a good choice. The game isn't out of hand anymore.

If the Steelers would have went for it and not converted, game over. The game is still alive, but it's the Patriots' game to lose.

I don't know, even if they had failed, they'd have been two scores down defending from the opposition 2. Now they're two scores down and have to start over again with 5 mins less on the clock.

[Dr Funkenstein]

plus steelers are giving up almost 10 yards a pass and over 4 yards a run

[Broken Arrow]

/hopes for Pats turnover for touchdown

/knows it won't happen

[3074326]

I'm just defending what they did, I would've went for it. That's the reason why they kicked a field goal though.

Roethlisberger threw another INT, it's being challenged at the moment. He has some experience to gain, but it's obvious that he'll be a good QB.

[guitarded_chuck]

Yea, Steelers are making some bad decisions. Not taking any risks.

[3074326]

I'd say the bad desicions are more on the field than the playcalling.

Roethlisberger has let some throws get away.

[simplephotographinthesun]

that ref is earning his paycheck, that seems like the 39th challenge

[Kurtz]

The decision stands.

I've lost hope.

[Dr Funkenstein]

I agree, didn't mean to sound like i was criticising you, sorry if i did. I just felt that asking a rookie QB, even as talented a one as Big Ben, to lead 2 more TD drives would be quite hard.

[pixiesfanyo]

they lost.

[Dr Funkenstein]

Yeah, can't see them losing it from here.

[3074326]

I agree, didn't mean to sound like i was criticising you, sorry if i did. I just felt that asking a rookie QB, even as talented a one as Big Ben, to lead 2 more TD drives would be quite hard.

Haha, I knew you weren't criticizing me.

I agree. I think Bettis could've managed two yards, as long as it wasn't up the middle like they've tried earlier in the game.

[The JoZ]

**** the Patriots.

[Kurtz]

That's that.

[Yamaha2k3]

Why did they run up the score :angry:

[bball_1523]

it's freakin over. Go Patriots.

[ThePatient]

Yeeeeeeeah baby.

[Yamaha2k3]

I guess I'm rooting for the Eagles.

[guitarded_chuck]

laaaaaaaaaaaaaaame.

Well, go Eagles, I guess.. I don't even care, I don't like either team much.

[Janitor]

haha

[simplephotographinthesun]

Why did they run up the score :angry:

not a bad idea, id do it to **** with the eagles and steelers

[Dr Funkenstein]

i just predict TMQ will cite that moment on Tuesday, 'kick early and go for it late' and claim it is due to the coach not wanting to take the blame for the defeat. I think the phrase "You're down 2 touchdowns in the AFC Championship. There is no tomorrow, what have you got to lose?" will be a part of it somehow.

[Yamaha2k3]

Cower should of let them go for the TD instead of kicking that field goal early in the 4th quarter.

[iliketoplaydrums10111]

I <3 the Patriots

The following reasons are why I'm rooting for them in the Super Bowl

1) Tom Brady is probably the best QB in the pocket. (keeps his cool)
2) I want to see Corey Dillon win one, because he was on the Bengals for 7 seasons
3) I absolutely hate the Colts and the Pats are the only team that can beat them.

[ThePatient]

I have no one to root for in the Super Bowl this year. Maybe the ground will open up and swallow both teams...

[NewKindofArmy03]

The Eagles are gonna win, this is their year.

[Reaganista]

And next year.

And the year after.

[ThePatient]

What are you on?

[iliketoplaydrums10111]

Eagles?

Pft, they beat easy teams, their only real challenge was the Falcs' and you just had to stop Vick. The Eagles would get swallowed up in the AFC. It should be a good game though. 2 great defenses

[3074326]

It would rule if they recovered the onside kick, scored, and recovered another onside kick, then scored again to win.

The Eagles are much better than you're making them sound..

[Simple Man]

Go Patriots.

[Dr Funkenstein]

The Eagles'll probably go to the Superbowl for 3 years straight now and not win it. Then Andy Reid will get lynched. Except the gallows will break. Anyway, then the rampaging mobs will get him.

[iliketoplaydrums10111]

^ That is the complete truth

haha

[Reaganista]

The Eagles are actually the best team in the league.

[The JoZ]

Go Eagles...

[simplephotographinthesun]

The Eagles'll probably go to the Superbowl for 3 years straight now and not win it. Then Andy Reid will get lynched. Except the gallows will break. Anyway, then the rampaging mobs will get him.

the life of a buffalo bills fan

[Simple Man]

Eagles arn't the best team in the league.

[iliketoplaydrums10111]

I don't think so

Not the best, Pats, Steelers, and Colts could own them

I was tempted to put the Colts in there, but they just suck at Foxboro and if the Eagles played the Colts at the RCA Dome, I'm sure they'd get their **** rocked.

The Eagles are a solid team but I don't they have the talent to beat the Pats. The Eagles are gonna be pumped up, really confident because of their first Superbowl, whereas the Pats have been here before. I'm really trusting Brady's experience in the post-season and the D.

It's really an even match, I can't wait for February 6

[Yamaha2k3]

I think the Cardinals will make the Super Bowl next year.

[Dr Funkenstein]

Well I'm a Dolphins fan and I have a soft spot for the Eagles so, GO EAGLES! But given my utterly terrible prediction record I'm gonna pick the Pats for the Superbowl.

[Simple Man]

I think the Cardinals will make the Super Bowl next year.

I think you're an idiot.

Stick to your poop threads moron.

[Dr Funkenstein]

To be fair, The Panthers did it.

[Dr Funkenstein]

the life of a buffalo bills fan

*sympathises*

Hang on, no sports team I support has won anything ever since I've been supporting them. I need sympathy.

[3074326]

At least the 49er's aren't your favorite team..

[Dr Funkenstein]

True, true. Now you've said that though they'll probably go and win it all next year and I'll just give up all hope and become a sex-slave to Bill Belichek.

[Liberi Fatali]

The Eagles allowed 26.5 points per game on average against AFC teams, they wont be able to hold New England to a low score. Their offense will have to play amazingly well to win it.

[Hababi]

Boo :(

[Simple Man]

I like the Titans.

[3074326]

Haha, I'd like to see the old days of the Niners again.

[Simple Man]

Time to make the Philly vs New England Thread :)

[Red Stripe]

Roethlisberger played a worse first half than against the Jets

[Red Stripe]

Roethlisberger played a worse first half than against the Jets

[Red Stripe]

[Liberi Fatali]

Why not just keep it in the prediction thread?

[Simple Man]

I don't know I just think it'd get over crowded with the predictions and such.

[Red Stripe]

I don't know I just think it'd get over crowded with the predictions and such.
yeah i agree with this, makes it less confusing, this is the game, thats the picks

[Simple Man]

Alright, I'll make it and let everyone discuss what they think up until Feb. 6th so they actually see what really happens!

[sleepy1212]

/screams

[YDload]

My hometown Steelers lost! :'(

Oh well, at least Roethlisberger didn't peak in his rookie season. He still has plenty of room for improvement, while simultaneously having one of the best first seasons any QB could ask for.

[sleepy1212]

We still have Philly :rolleyes:

[YDload]

Yeah, Pennsylvania is not out of the fight yet. Remember a couple years ago when some people were expressing hope for an all-Missouri Super Bowl?! Ha ha, that sure fell through.

But when Rofflesburger gains more experience, the all-PA thing won't be such a pipe dream after all.

[Reaganista]

I ain't scared of no Wafflesburger.

[HNLzero]

ATTN:
Philadelphia has never won a superbowl.
:eek:

Neither did we when we faced the Rams in 2001.

Neither did we when we faced the Rams in 2001.

Who is "we?"

OMG u play 4 teh Pats! I want ur manbabies!

[Illmatic]

I try to avoid using the term "we" when describing my favorite teams, but with the Patriots (and the '04 Red Sox) I have a hard time following that rule.

[YDload]

I guess you've got a lot of pride this year. If the Steelers had won, I'd be all like "WE WILL DESTROY U!!"

[IvortheEngineDriver]

My hometown Steelers lost! :'(

Oh well, at least Roethlisberger didn't peak in his rookie season. He still has plenty of room for improvement, while simultaneously having one of the best first seasons any QB could ask for.
I agree...Shaun King almost did the same in 1999 with the Bucs. They were barely beaten by the Rams that year, but, lets hope Roethlisberger doesn't regress.

The key in stopping the Steelers was making Roethlisberger beat you with his arm, which, anyone knows, rookies are gonna **** up. That's why the Steelers won 15 straight...run the ball, Big Ben was asked just not to **** up. He is gonna be a great QB, better than the other 1st rounders

Look at the 1999 draft...Tim Couch, Akili Smith, Donovan McNabb, Dante Culpepper and Cade McNown all taken in the 1st round. Only McNabb and Culpepper lived up to the billing, while it took Cincy and Chicago 5 years to get their QB and the Browns still haven't had one since Kosar. Roethlisberger is gonna be great, but I know that he wasn't gonna go far against the Pats.

BTW...I'm from Boston, so GOOOOO PATS!!!! :thumb:

[dancetomdance182]

I'm just pissed off that the Patriots won. Ben played like a rookie, because he is a rookie. What more to expect.

[cheesepuff]

My hometown Steelers lost! :'(

Oh well, at least Roethlisberger didn't peak in his rookie season. He still has plenty of room for improvement, while simultaneously having one of the best first seasons any QB could ask for.


Yeah, he may have been the enemy, but that whole game I just kept thinking, "y'know, this kid's like, 4 years older than I am playing starting quarterback for a professional football team and not doing too horribly."

I see good things in his future. :thumb:

[Illmatic]

Statistically, Big Ben's 2004 season is very similar to Brady's 2001 season. Just pointing that out.

[3074326]

Roethlisberger reminds me a lot of Tom Brady when he's playing well. He's extremely efficient when he's on. Doesn't throw for tons of yards, but he does what he needs to do.

Very Tom Brady-ish.

[YDload]

We can only hope that he will be as hated by non-fans as Brady is one day.

[3074326]

Haha, that would mean the Steelers would be a dynasty? Steel Curtain #2.

:cool:

[YDload]

Haha, that would mean the Steelers would be a dynasty? Steel Curtain #2.

I think they're definitely on to something here. Rofflesburger is gonna be awesome if he stays healthy.

[IvortheEngineDriver]

I think they're definitely on to something here. Rofflesburger is gonna be awesome if he stays healthy.
I agree...but herein lies the problem with Pitt. They are a running team, the Pats haven't really had a consistent runner since Curtis Martin (until Dillon)...I mean, only 1000 yard rushers we had since Martin left (excluding this year) is Robert Edwards in 1998 (blew out his knee in that rookie beach game) and Antwoain Smith in 2001. We won last year with no running game whatsoever because we utilized the short pass.

My point is is that if you have a great running game, like the Steelers do, you don't have to throw. I think we will get to see the true Roethlisberger in about 2 years, when Bettis and Staley is gone. No doubt he is a good quarterback, but will he be great? I don't know yet, I want to see him play with his back against the wall.

Also, Steelers need a TE BAD and Burress is basically gone. Though, Kendall Simmons is coming back next season and should make the O-Line better. Steelers need to give Roethlisberger more weapons at RB and WR/TE to show what he's got

[Daven]

the patriots is the best **** ever!!!

[JACKROXYOU]

that last second interception cost it

patriots forever!!

i hope they win by a field goal to piss people off again

[ACDCman]

pats will win just like they always do and yull wonder y u ever voted against them

[3074326]

Also, Steelers need a TE BAD and Burress is basically gone. Though, Kendall Simmons is coming back next season and should make the O-Line better. Steelers need to give Roethlisberger more weapons at RB and WR/TE to show what he's got

If Burress stays, they'll have loads of talent in the receiving positions.

Even if he leaves, they'll have two better than average receivers in Hines Ward and Antwaan Randle El. They may not compile the stats as some of the primetime receivers, but they're both extremely versatile players, and they're both great playmakers. The Steelers had one of the top five groups of receivers in the NFL this year. I'd go as far as saying top three.

If they lose Plaxico, sure they'll not have as much of a deep threat, but Antwaan and Hines are enough to keep a defense busy.

[Kurtz]

i hope they win by a field goal to piss people off again
That would be suicide inducing.
