Official Pittsburgh Steelers Thread

:lol: :thefinger

Seriously, tell me you never had such thoughts. ;) :lol2:

When I was very young and my grandpa was introducing me to the NFL, I did wonder why the team was just a color and not an animal or somethin. Then I saw the Dog Pound and figured it had somethin to do with dogs :dunno:

Seriously, nobody knows why they would name them that lol. Joe Brown? i beleive thats what its from he created the team, yet still, yikes haha.

Im a bengal fan and im pissed that the browns lost damnit. the world is so unfair.:crying:

I thought 'Nati people hated Cleveland people? Just like how Pittsburgh people hate Philly people.

Or is it just that you pity Clevland people for living in such a crap town? I love my grand dad but he sure picked a sad place to settle down :shakehead

We don't hate Philly people. Not like we hate Cleveland people, at least. I've been saying (for about a decade now) that we need an All-Pennsylvania SuperBowl... the state would be burnt to the ground by morning regardless of the outcome.

As for Cincy... they are really living up to their Bungles name this season. Ugh, I'm sure as hell glad I don't live there right now! :p

Today SUCKED. How the hell did we lose to the JETS??? :(

I have absolutely no idea. Somebody at work offered that as part of a package bet and I told them they were crazy. Little did I know I was better off taking that bet than the Bears to beat a 6 point spread :sadwavey: $20

My roommate hates the Steelers... she's LOVING this.

I'm sure my dad is beaming right now. He was so excited when you guys lost to the Cardinals with the added bonus of Polamalu going down. I'm shocked he didn't call me when they had that crazy field goal situation at the end of regulation.

Am I correct in my math that the Browns are now only 1 game behind you guys in the AFC-N?

If Big Ben threw to Ward or Miller a few more times today, i'd be $20 richer from the fantasy pool, but at least Chester Taylor had a good game so I won my match. I can't believe Big Ben got less fantasy points than Donovan McNabb today, who went out early with a sprain mind you. Jets D must have been on it in the backfield today.

Our pass blocking today totally sucked butt. I missed the first 2 mins of play (stupid holiday shoppers) but I suspect we went out there with a chip on our shoulders.

Any given Sunday... bit us in the tuckus.

Not that it really counts or matters but the Cowboys have avenged the Steeler's loss to the Jets. :biggrin2:

Cowboys 34, Jets 3

:lol:

Gotta luv them Cowboys and Steelers. :grinyes: But honestly I really do hate the Patriots. :banghead:

Don't worry C, we love you too. :smooch:.....:uhoh:

I hate the Pats... almost as much as I hate the Cowboys! :p

I feel the love, B! ;)

dolphins s#ck!!!
i cant wait till game time tonight but i wont beable to see the kickoff cause i got to work tonight!!! => s#cks!!!

Half of my fantasy team consists of various Pittsburgh offense weapons, including Big Ben. Hopefully they are all viscious dobermans that eat the Dolphins alive.

I really hope we come into this game with a winning mentality, rather than a cocky mentality.

It's been raining in Pittsburgh ALL DAY, so I hope the field is able to survive. I know they've had a tarp on it, but we'll see how well it works. I heard something just now during the pregame coverage that there is something about new sod being put down. Could be interesting...

I'm just hoping the final score adds to a 1 on the last digit so I can win $50. But if the Steelers lose to the Jets AND the Dolphins, they should be docked 2 weeks pay

pittsburgh won 3-0
with about 20 seconds to go in the fourth quarter they finally get a field goal and then with 2 seconds to go miami gets called for an "illegal foward pass"!!!
yeah! yeah!

And I got a migraine and ended up sleeping through the WHOLE DAMN GAME. I slept all the way through until the fieldgoal... and then fell asleep again thereafter. I have GOT to figure out what triggers the damn things. :(

I watched the whole game. I have no idea why but it was the most brutal game to sit through.....ever. :lol:

Eek, I just saw who is out this week with injuries... this is going to be interesting.

PS - I hate John Madden.

I hate the Pats... almost as much as I hate the Cowboys! :p

I feel the love, B! ;)

Aww, we <3 you too, tangie.

-From Steel and the NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS!

I am so glad we won this week! After watching the first quarter, I was starting to question our playing... It was shaky at points, to say the least.

Steel, I was just reading a message board on MSN about the Patriots, and I very much agree that a reason why the Pats are so universally hated is because they are just plain "boring". There is no character. Sure, they may go 16-0, but it doesn't mean that there is any soul to it. It's like a kid with a 2400 on the SATs and straight A's in all AP classes... more than likely no one gives a damn because they have no personality or anything really worth latching on to.

I love my Steelers, and always will. Highs and Lows come and go, but the charisma lasts forever. LONG LIVE STEELER NATION!

Sunday @ 4:15. Will the Stillers end the hopes of an undefeated season in Foxborough? Or will Larry Czonka, Bob Greise, Mercury Morris and crew keep the corks in those bottles forever more? Cause lets face it, the Dolphins aint beating the Pats and they are going to TORCH Mangini and the Jets so bad, they'll wish they never spotted that camera in the stands.

:popcorn:

No, the Steelers are not going to beat the Patriots (sorry speediva). If the Pats were going to lose this season, it would have been to Baltimore last week (who really gave the Pats a run for their money if you didn't see it).
Just like all the other teams who came close to beating them, I think the Steelers will:
1. Play as good as the Pats if not better
2. Limit Randy Moss to only 1-2 touchdown passes and 30 or less yards
3. Fuck up a potential upset somehow at the end.

It was a disappointing game to say the least. The first half, the Steelers really played the game. Our numbers (Time of Pos, yards, etc.) looked better than the Pats, but the scoreboard didn't reflect that. We bit it big time with getting all the way inside the 5 and not doing anything with it. If it weren't for Jeff Reed (again), we would have had even fewer points.

The second half was just a disgrace. I don't know who to be more pissed at... Smith or Taylor. Both were sucking HARDCORE on D today, and I can't decide who was more at fault... Perhaps Smith, but Taylor really sucked too.

Oh well, at least we are still over .500 which is all I asked of this season.

I'm so pissed that the one time I respected the point spread, the Pats cover and I didn't bet on it. Good game to watch though. It seems like Tom Brady was more than a lil ticked about Smith's guarantee. Maybe he should just keep his mouth shut next time.

I wanted to watch this game. Could have if Denver wasn't also an afternoon game.............................................. .......

Pittsburgh has clinched a playoff spot at least so that's something to be happy about. Would have gotten their division if Cleveland lost, but they didn't.

Yesterday was a sad, sad day. :( I had to drive to DC with a friend to see the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, so I only got to catch the first 1/2 of the game so we didn't miss TSO.



BUT!



We did manage to find a KICK ASS Steelers bar in the heart of DC!!!

THANK YOU CINCINNATI!!!

Between our win on Thursday and Cleveland's loss today, we clinched our division!



The only thing that would have made my Christmas would have been for Miami to kick the asses of the lying, cheating Pats. :( Oh well. Watching the next Steelers game on my brand spankin new, widescreen HDTV will make it better. ;)

Hater in the house!





...(me) :(

Ha. Who needs to cheat when you have RANDY MOSS!?

He's the only reason i'm cheering for the Pats and why i've been wearing a Pats jersey all season.

I will find you and destroy your Pats jersey. :p j/k (maybe) :lol2:


I can't wait to get my pimpy new TV set up for the 30th!!!! Its gonna be super awesomeness!!!! Too bad I won't have HD service by then.

Its just been tough seeing Moss go downhill, essentially, ever since his breakout year with the Vikes and their playoff loss to Atlanta so long ago. Few receivers in NFL history have brought the kind of talent to the game he has and I will be happy if he finally gets a championship ring this year.

A big TV is always a pleasure. My roomates TV is a 62 inch, but isn't high def at all. Just your traditional Phillips big screen TV. Still really nice to have though.

I have this nice 20" tube setup complete with rabbit ear antenna :sunglasse

+1 The TV that I've been watching the Steelers on this year is a 19" that I got for my 13th birthday...

My pimpy new TV should be a lil improvement (http://www.samsung.com/us/consumer/detail/detail.do?group=televisions&type=televisions&subtype=lcdtv&model_cd=LNT4042HX/XAA) ;)

how about a 27'' hd tv w/ hd service from time warner cable!

I gotta wait until I move out of my current residence to get HD service. Oh well. The 40" picture is still pretty freaking ROCKIN!!!!!

What a bummer about Baltimore... My friend was at the game and said he had some arse throw punches at him just for being a Steelers fan. Wow, way to make friends and influence people, Baltimore. :nono: How freaking sad.

I have to giggle because the NHL game scheduled for the same day as the Jags playoff game had to get moved so the city wouldn't be overrun with crazies. :p

Hey guys, I need help ASAP...

I hit bid instead of cancel on eBay and I have a pair of Steelers tickets for this Saturday's game. I HAVE to get rid of them. PLEASE PM me ASAP if you or someone you know can buy them off me.

I only know 1 person from Pittsburgh and they live in Florida now, but out of curiosity how much you askin? How much did you pay!?

Maybe my dad will buy them so he can go to the game in his Dawg Pound gear

Edit #2: Screw it... I decided to give the other ticket to my brother, so I'm going to see my first Heinz Field Steelers game!!!!!



Edit: And for no reason other than this happened less than 5 mins from my house: http://apnews.excite.com/article/20080103/D8TULSRO2.html Must be nice to both give AND receive in that instance!

I could cry. :crying: What a sad way to end the season.




But I would like to know which damn team Ben was playing for... cause it wasn't his own. :mad:

I'm a Browns fan and even I felt bad for the way the Stillers went out... theres always next year

There is always next year. And I'm glad I got my hopes of a season over .500. It just was sad to rally back only to lose to a field goal... which would have been preventable (at least a tie) if we had just gotten the extra points instead of botching up not one, but TWO 2-point conversions.

But again, arm-chair quarterbacks and day-after commentary is always 20-20.
