I think the Steelers are like we were back in 2001. We got on a hot streak and won games we were supposed to lose. I'm not going to say we automatically win if we're hosting Pitt in the AFC Championship game today. They're on fire right now.
This next comment goes to a lot of posts that were written in the past week on this board, not just stcjones. I think it's very disrespectful that give absolutely no credit to Denver and blame the loss entirely on our own mistakes and refs. Tom Brady was pressured on his INT to Bailey. He had to roll out and get rid of the ball. It's easy to say Brady should have been more conservative and thrown it away. However, Denver forced him into that position. If Wilson had blitzed Plummer near the goalline and forced him to throw a pass that was intercepted by Samuel and ran back, we would all be going crazy over the great defensive play. Great pressure by Wilson, great play by Samuel to get the ball. It happens against us and it's our own fault, the defense had nothing to do with it.
How many times did we hear teams say that "We beat ourselves" during our Super Bowl runs? We all took it personally and saw it as a sign of getting no respect. I think it's wrong to turn around and sing the same song when it happens to us.
Did Denver dominate the game? No. Did we make any unforced mistakes? Sure. Did any questionable calls go against us? Sure. Did we have our chances had we executed better? Sure. Did Denver make it impossible at times to execute better? Absolutely.
The Broncos deserve more respect than we're giving them. Pittsburgh does as well. Again, don't act like the game would be a gimmie had we played them today. If in fact we had won last week and won again today, it probably wouldn't sit well on the board if a Colts fan came over telling us we're lucky that we didn't have to face them at home. Let's not do the same thing to the Steelers.

Very well spoken. Is that why Ian made you a mod?

Exactly what i have been saying all along. Agree completely.
I agree that we should give DEN and PITT more credit for their victories. Last year's PITT team is the one that was lucky to win some of their games, as Cowher has pointed out. I don't think that has been the case this year. They had an ugly streak when Roth was hurt, but have been a dominant team lately. I wish I could agree with your analysis, but I don't. They beat #1, #2 and #3. This reminds much more of our 2003 or 2004 teams.

I agree. I'm glad the Steeler's were so impressive today, because if the Broncos went on to win the Super Bowl, I woud continue to think about how it should be the Pats that won. With the Steeler's being so impressive in the postseason, a Pats Super Bowl victory would not be so obvious had they beaten the Broncos.
Good point....it would be much harder to deal with things if the donks had gone on to win the SB......considering that IMHO we WERE the better team and should not have lost to them......Congrats to the squeelers (as hard as that is to say)
One of the reasons it is easier for me to swallow a Steelers SB appearance is that they did not beat the Pats in the postseason to do it. I'm not sure why that makes it easier, but it does.

But we did beat them in the regular season. Therefore if the Steelers win, we can pretend that we're really the Super Bowl champs.

and I am trying really hard not to be a bad sport here......I know Denver is a decent team and they should be proud of their accomplishments this year......I just feel like we WERE a better team than Denver, and things would have been really interesting if Pitt came to the razor.......
But you are right the steelers deserve a ton of respect, and are a tough, scrappy team.........that having been said I am pulling for the cats or the hawks in the SB!!!!
