Coming up on NFL Live now (ESPN)...

[Richter]

The ESPN "experts" (and I use that term as loosely as possible) are going to explain why the Steelers are better than the Pats. I can't WAIT to hear this.

EFF them, first it was Colts who better AND still consider in their eyes better than us. Now it's the steelers, who lost to Denver and Arizona....

Why wait. We all know exactly what they'll say.

Patriots have been very susceptable to a power running game.

Steelers have a lot of team speed.

Steelers will put pressure on Brady like he's never seen before. Although he's played that personnell and Lebeau's D how many times?

Steelers will be VERY physical with the Pats receivers.

Mike Tomlin has these guys playing at a very high level. Mike Tomlin is possibly the best coach in the league...

BLAH BLAH BLAH

Oh I almost forgot.

Ben Rothlisberger has really matured as a QB. You've got to consider him as one of the top 2-3 QB's in the league.

Put yourself in their shoes. It's either that, or report on the current effort to polish the Lombardi trophy so it looks good for Mr. Kraft in February.

You do want people watching you this season, right? They have to do something to keep interest up....

 

[PromisedLand]

And by "experts" you mean Merill "I hate everything Patriots" Hoge?

That's Merrill "I hate everything Patriots because I used to play for the Steelers and HOW DARE THEY THREATEN TO ECCLIPSE OUR 1970s DYNASTY" Hoge?

BTW the Steelers strength of schedule ranks 31 out of 32. (Per Sagarin's formula)

 

[Nordy]

I can't wait until the Pats whoop their asses.

I think I'm going to change my name to "TommysIhateeverythingHinesWardGirl" Has a nice ring to it, dontcha think?

Coming up in 2 minutes.

 

[Disco Volante]

Yeah the Steelers beating two teams with a winning record this year (Bills/Browns) is really impressive.

 

[Hok]

Steelers better than the Pats?

I'd be very surprised that anyone other the concussion boy Hoge will be saying this.

Merril Power Rankings
1. Steelers
2. Patriots
3. Colts
4. Packers
5. Cowboys

Mark Power Rankings
1. Patriots
2. Cowboys
3. Packers
4. Colts
5. Steelers

Now Merril is talking about how Ben should be right up there with Brady for best QB in the league. My god..

 

[PatsSox363804]

How in the hell does Hoge have a job? Jesus tap dancing Christ.

 

[Slagathor]

Yep .. I was right.

Credibility isn't important to Hoge.

 

[bradmahn]

According to Hoge, the Patriots aren't number one because they "didn't look that great against the Colts." As opposed to the Steelers looking phenomenal against the 5-4 Browns. He's such a ******* numbnut. Last week he was saying the Patriots were going undefeated, and now he thinks the Steelers are going to represent the AFC in the Super Bowl?

Honestly. Allowing personal biases to affect you so much that you rank a team that lost to the fuggin' CARDINALS ahead of a team that is playing historically well should be a fireable offense.
