Steelers vs.Patriots

[motely36]

I am watching the Eagles vs. Falcons game. But I'm really just waiting for the Pittsburgh/New England game. I think it is going to be a great game and that whoever wins this game will take the Super Bowl. I'm not really rooting for either team, just hoping for a great game.

[Archae]

1. Patriots are going to run into a brick wall.

Steelers have a damn good defense.

[motely36]

4. True, but Big Ben looked like the Rookie he is last week

Should be interesting

[JohnKleeb]

7. true but he did go from 3-11 at half time to over 50%

thats impressive.

[JVS]

9. People have bad games occasionally, it's how you bounce back that matters

[motely36]

12. I agree with that.

Actually, I'm hoping he does have a good game. Don;t want the Patriots to run all over them.

[zbdent]

13. Got a bet with this Repuke Bush-buttmuncher Radio afternoon guy

in Cleveland. From right after the Browns' first at-home win (against the Stillers) after "returning".

I bet him that the Steelers would win another SuperBowl before the Browns ever GET TO ONE!

Sucker took the bet. 1999.

So far, I haven't had to worry about the Browns making it. Just hoping to rub this ass's nose in it - he's constantly complaining about how Cowher is a loser, because he "never won the big one". Sometimes, he remembers that Coach du Jour of the Browns hasn't won one either.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

174. Some brick wall.

I didn't know walls gave up 41.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

2. I have a DU friend who loves the Steelers - Beware the Beastman

Otherwise I don't care for American football.

[JVS]

3. You have several DU friends who love the steelers

[Allenberg]

5. That's one thing I like about DU.

Lots of fellow Steeler fans :D

[JohnKleeb]

6. like that here in Virginia too actually

Someone thought it was weird that I am a Virginian and super bowl fan, not really, my family and that of my best friend are from Pittsburgh originally.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

11. I had a Gilfriend in Philly so I should be an Eagles fan but

I only like College Basketball (I'm from CT damnit!) and the Yankees so...

[Seabiscuit]

8. Pats by 10.

;0)~

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

10. True!

My bad
:)

[NamVetsWeeLass]

14. Chavez, there are a few of us.....

Blitzburgh!

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

92. hmmmmm

:)

[PittPoliSci]

15. FUCK INTERCEPTION

oh well...first quarter.

[Guaranteed]

16. I think that was Joe Montana. nt

[StopTheMorans]

17. uh-oh, longest pass play of the season against the steelers, longest

by the pats. LOOK OUT STILLERS, GO PATS!

[JohnKleeb]

18. Fuck that pissed me off

[StopTheMorans]

19. can't say it did the same to me

:evilgrin: go Pats!

[JohnKleeb]

21. well duh but the game is still young

[mvd]

23. Yes, it is still young

Here's a happy Eagles fan hoping it's a good game. I don't like the Steelers, but their fans have also been waiting a while and I feel for them.

I know my Eagles will be the underdog in the Super Bowl, but I'm only thinking positively. :-)

[JohnKleeb]

24. I want a good game too

Good thing this isn't baseball, because I dont hate the pats.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

20. What an awesome pass!

:bounce:

[JohnKleeb]

22. blah four in and four out

[JohnKleeb]

25. ok time to captialize gaaaaaah

[JohnKleeb]

26. firrrrrrrrrrrst down, yesssssssss

[Yavin4]

27. Why Is Cowher Running The Bus So Much?

Didn't they pay a lot of money for Deuce Staley? So, why aint they using him?

[StopTheMorans]

29. 2 runs now for 3 or so yards total

:evilgrin: go pats!

[JohnKleeb]

28. 3 points back, nice job Reed

Relieved. Lets get points back on them like the Jets did to us.

[PittPoliSci]

30. we could sure use an interception right about now...

[JohnKleeb]

31. yeah for momentum

we needs it. A return for a touchdown would be icing.

[JohnKleeb]

32. first down

[Kathy in Cambridge]

33. Another beautiful pass by Brady!

[JohnKleeb]

35. fucccccccccccck

neeeeeeeeeeed a turnover.

[motely36]

34. Another nice pass by Brady

and a nice catch by the receiver.

[JohnKleeb]

37. same bastard who got the touchdown pass

and now theres a fuckin touchdown. Just fuckin great.

[Yavin4]

36. This Game Is Over

Pats vs. Eagles Superbowl.

Good night folks.

[Threedifferentones]

38. Touchdown Pats

Bah

[StopTheMorans]

39. uh-oh stillers, where's that vaunted defense i've heard so much about?

:shrug:

[JohnKleeb]

40. hah shut up,

Goddamn does anything go right for me in sports ever. Sigh, got nothin to look forward to in the spring either.

[StopTheMorans]

41. how bout the sox kleeb? i know they're not your team per se, but they

did stomp the yanks and st. louis this year. maybe this year will be the orioles year :7 (then again, probably not:P

[JohnKleeb]

43. oooooooh hinesssssssss

insssssssside the fourty yard line, yaaaaah. Yes, I appreciated that stomping of the yanks but I want the orioles to actually do good for once, god it just sucks, I dont hate the sox honest, I like em, I am more sick of the Yanks in particular thinking they can get everyone, god they get a Miguel Tejada type aquisation every year, and we get one once in a blue moon, damn you peter angelos.

[FarLeftRage]

42. Maybe you need

to change your teams???

[JohnKleeb]

44. why would I do that?

[FarLeftRage]

46. To go with a winning team...

I guess??

[JohnKleeb]

54. sports isnt just about winning, its about having a team to like and id wit

[Guaranteed]

58. Id wit Tom Brady.

And Bill Bellichek.

Seriously, Bellichek is cool as hell. Funny, and a Democrat. And the best coach in football.

[JohnKleeb]

45. inside the 25 yardline

ok this aint over yet, it aint over.

[JohnKleeb]

47. oh goddamnit

jesus fuckin christ. BTW I never predicted a victory.

[StopTheMorans]

48. WHATS UP STILLERS!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GO PATS!!!!!!!!!!!

[Kathy in Cambridge]

50. Their defense hasn't shown up yet today

maybe the Pats are just on their game.

[JohnKleeb]

51. You'll be happy to know that I am going for the Pats if they win

AFC loyal, though this sucks major ass.

[motely36]

49. Touchdown Pats!

23-3

[smbolisnch]

52. What just happened there??!?!?!

I turned around for 2 seconds and the Patriots get a touchdown? Not looking good. x(

[Yavin4]

53. Like I Said. Game Over

Pats vs. Eagles Superbowl.

[Seabiscuit]

62. 24-3. Steelers are dead meat.

[CrownPrinceBandar]

55. FUCKING STEELERS!!!!

[JohnKleeb]

Well we made it this far

Its not like the Pats were a shock team like we were, I can pride myself on the fact that we had a great season, at least its not like baseball when the O's dont even make the playoffs.

[CrownPrinceBandar]

67. You're right....

But I'm not giving up yet. We still have the 2nd Half before us. Things will change.

[Guaranteed]

56. Roethisname almost picked again. nt

[CrownPrinceBandar]

57. losing his cool..............

this is where the rookie shines through. He peaked too early.

[tishaLA]

60. He looks like Jake Plummer

[muriel_volestrangler]

59. Arrgh.

Bugger. Crap. Damn. Ecchh. Fuck. Godamm. Hell. Incredible. Jerks. Klowns. Lamentable. Muppets. Nimrods. Oops. Piss. Quislings. Reptiles. Shit. Twats. Useless. Vile. Wank. XXXX 'em. Yuck. Zombies.

Anything left? Can I stop being an honorary Pittsburgher now?

[JohnKleeb]

61. Who has some pot?

siiiiiiiiiiigh.

[DS1]

63. And to look back on all that shit-talking by the Steelers fans

:eyes:

[JohnKleeb]

65. I actually was pretty modest

You guys are after all the reigning champions. Though I admit, I didnt see this diaster coming.

[DS1]

166. You were

:toast:

[Guaranteed]

64. Announcers are talking about the Steelers putting in Maddox. nt

[Renew Deal]

66. Nice sack.

Other than that, the Pats are getting crushed.

[Guaranteed]

68. Steelers touchdown! Whoohoo! nt

[PittPoliSci]

69. about time.

[JohnKleeb]

70. ahh you like that dontcha Tom

:) saaaaaaaaaack.

[Guaranteed]

71. Big pressure play, there...

Steelers held, apparently, though.

Automatic first down. Brutal.

[JohnKleeb]

72. weak

[Guaranteed]

77. Well, hey, if the receiver was held....

no wonder noone was there.

[JohnKleeb]

78. of course,

[Renew Deal]

73. That's not a fumble.

Knee was down. That's one of the worst calls I have ever seen. It's so clear.

[JohnKleeb]

74. thats why they're challenging it

[Guaranteed]

75. Wasn't a fumble. This should be reversed.

Plus the fifteen-yard personal foul.

[JohnKleeb]

76. christ, jesus fuckin christ

[tishaLA]

79. HAHA! NE ball AND 15 yrd penalty

Why does god hate the stillers so?

Oh jeebus and now a TD! LOL.

[Guaranteed]

80. Touchdown, Patriots!

25-yard-run by Corey Dillon.

[JohnKleeb]

81. oh fucking christ

[sonicx]

84. Christ has definitely fucked the Steelers...

:evilgrin:

[JohnKleeb]

86. Christ doesnt play sides

[sonicx]

Then why is he wearing a Pats jersey?

[JohnKleeb]

91. Dont make me lose my faith with the all mighty

[Renew Deal]

82. The Steelers really blew that.

Penalties are killer in games like this. 2 huge mistakes by the Steelers. That first screen call was brilliant. They knew the Steelers lineman couldn't guard a "receiver."

[Guaranteed]

83. I dunno...maybe this shoulda been the Jets up against

the Patriots...

[goodboy]

85. I'm a Pittsburgh fan, but FUCK THESE GODDAMN PENALTIES

[JohnKleeb]

87. Fuck em to hell

[retread]

88. As long as no red state team is in the Stupor Bowl I'm good.

*

[paineinthearse]

89. 31-10

As Dandy Don used to sing, "Turn off the lights, the party's over...."

[Guaranteed]

93. The only bad thing for the Patriots is that they got that last touchdown

so fast, and they really could have taken more time off the clock. :(

[Guaranteed]

90. WOOOOooooo close one, there, for Roethisname.... nt

[Guaranteed]

94. Yet ANOTHER near miss... nt

[JohnKleeb]

95. touchdown

[pres2032]

96. YES!!!!!!!!!!!

[JohnKleeb]

97. maybe we can still get this thing ya know

its not impossible.

[pres2032]

98. yup

we need a stop here though

[JohnKleeb]

99. yep

[Guaranteed]

100. Don't get your hopes up.

If the Patriots can just avoid turnovers, they'll probably win.

[JohnKleeb]

102. I am used to disappointment

Ok, its already bad that Bush has the ability to draft me and my friends now, that the Orioles didnt make the playoffs, that I wont be able to leave home for college, that I wont have the day off of school tommorow, lemme have some hope damnit, I need it.

[Guaranteed]

101. WOW, WHAT A CATCH!!

Well done!

[pres2032]

103. Don't get your hopes up

;-)

[JohnKleeb]

104. hahahah

sweeeeeeeeet.

[Guaranteed]

105. Whoops! No catch! nt

[JohnKleeb]

106. spoke too soon eh

[Guaranteed]

108. Hey, it looked good before the replay...don't you think? nt

[JohnKleeb]

113. I have a radio in here not a TV

[Renew Deal]

107. I also think it wasn't.

Either way, the play is coming back some.

[JohnKleeb]

109. yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay

[pres2032]

110. YES!!!!!!!!!!!

[JohnKleeb]

112. way to go Randle El!

[Renew Deal]

111. I used to hate replay.

But the refs suck in this game. 2 big blown calls.

[pres2032]

114. the momentum has definitely shifted

[JohnKleeb]

115. yes! inside the 30, we may just have a game here!

[Ekirh]

116. So this is why no one is at the Sports area..

They are all here....

Rooting for the Patriots.. but I must say... the Steelers... are really really playing hard right now. Won't be surprised if this game ends up tied.

[JohnKleeb]

117. oooooooooh goaline

[Ekirh]

118. Damn...

Has the crowd come alive....

I guess that what happens when the Steelers finally come out of slumber.... 4 QTR.. here we come.

[pres2032]

119. damn, this is getting insane!

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Renew Deal]

120. It's going to be a great finish.

[pres2032]

121. yup!

[JohnKleeb]

122. yes!

[JohnKleeb]

123. within 11

[pres2032]

124. looking good!

[JohnKleeb]

127. god if they come back and win this one

I am so holding morans to his selling me his posssesions.

[pres2032]

131. haha! you better!

[JohnKleeb]

133. believe me I will

[PittPoliSci]

129. my heart won't make it through this game.

[Guaranteed]

125. If the Patriots get another field goal, it's over. nt

[JohnKleeb]

126. and if they don't?

[Guaranteed]

128. Well, if their offense can eat up enough time, or if their defense

holds even once, they'll still win.

Oh, and no turnovers. :)

[JohnKleeb]

130. true but the steelers I think got mo on their side

[JohnKleeb]

132. ok get a four in and four out

[Guaranteed]

134. Huge play, here. nt

[Guaranteed]

136. Almost into field goal territory, now.

Close call, though.

[Guaranteed]

137. Field goal territory, now. nt

[JohnKleeb]

138. crap

[JohnKleeb]

135. boooooooooo

[Guaranteed]

139. They made it to the 20. Only ten minutes left.

It's basically over, man.

[JohnKleeb]

143. probably right

[pres2032]

140. hm, ok, not over yet

we're still in it, still plenty of time left.

[JohnKleeb]

142. I hope, I hope

[Guaranteed]

151. Don't, dude.

Think about it this way- after that field goal, the Steelers are in the same position they were in with 3 minutes left in the 3rd quarter. But, now, there's only 8 or 9 minutes left in the 4th quarter.

It would take something pretty wacky for them to win, at this point.

[muriel_volestrangler]

141. Why didn't the Steelers go for the touchdown on the 4th?

They still need 2 touchdowns - or a touchdown with 2 extra points and a field goal. And the Patriots will do everything to take the clock down.

[Guaranteed]

144. It's a tough call, either way. nt

[IrishBloodEngHeart]

150. I don't think its tough at all

You are down 14 points in the fourth quarter.

1st, why do you run the ball up the middle on 1st and 3rd down when you have been successful throwing the ball and running off tackle the hole game?

But anyway, even if you are fourth and goal on the two yard line, you have to go for it. If you cannot get two yards on a play like that, you aren't going to win anyway.

Nobody becomes NFL champion playing conservatively and like a coward.

I would fire Bill Cower immediately after the game.

[Guaranteed]

152. It was the end of the 3rd.

And what if you don't make it? Then the Patriot offense has the whole field to run the clock down with, and you're 14 points down. That's still two touchdowns, and you don't even WIN. Only tie.

[JohnKleeb]

145. sigh

[pres2032]

146. only down by 14, PLENTY of time left!

[JohnKleeb]

147. let us hope

let us hope.

[Uzybone]

148. Damn I love this Nike ad

I know they are commercial whores but that ad is awesome.

[JohnKleeb]

149. ok ball back, get a touchdown then

onsides, recover that, and then drive that baby. it can happen, I hope.

[Guaranteed]

153. That interception would be the end of the Steeler's season.

IF it's an interception.

[paineinthearse]

154. Eugene Wilson seals it!

[JohnKleeb]

155. oh christ

[JohnKleeb]

156. fuck

[pres2032]

157. gotta stop them here

[JohnKleeb]

158. yeah

I wish I had something to look forwerd to in baseball tho. Sigh everything goin wrong.

[Uzybone]

159. You guys did much better than anyone expected

I know its not much right now, but take solace in that. Most "experts" had you guys pegged at 9-7.

[JohnKleeb]

160. Yeah youre right, thanks

I actually posted that. I read SI's prediction, we were expected to go 8-8 and the Pats were predicted to win the AFC, so Pats fans shouldnt act like they won the greatest upset ever, did what was expected. Its just you get sooooo high, then ya come back down to earth.

[bettyellen]

161. did you hear ringing just now?

[JohnKleeb]

162. umm no, thats weird, I have my phone right next to me

[bettyellen]

169. yeah, me neither.....

[JohnKleeb]

170. you get my latest message?

[bettyellen]

172. LOL.... now john, we all gotta simmer down and get back to work

eventually, don't we?

[tishaLA]

163. Oh dear! Another TD

Not a very good game

[paineinthearse]

164. Dion Branch! 60yd TD catch, 34yd TD run

Not too shabby a night.

[paineinthearse]

165. CBS just used the "D" word

Dynesty.

[Bluebear]

167. Sorry Steelers fans

You have a great team and much respected by us Pats fans.

[JohnKleeb]

168. its ok, I figured god would get back at me for cursing the yankees

in the fall :). I can rest assured that life goes on.

[Bluebear]

171. Just a game. It's a great time to be a fan in New England

Lord knows we waited a long time, gypsy!

[JohnKleeb]

173. I was so happy to see that

It was so good over evil.
