OT: Jags @ Steelers Game Thread

[PromisedLand]

Go for 2???

 

[PatsFan#37]

ummmm...you have been a Pats fan since when?

I have been a pats fan since the 70's if that makes any difference. The wild card round just happens to be part of the game I don't care for

It is a shame Ben Rothlesberger has won a SB. Too many great QBs have had their careers blemished by the lack of a SB victory. He already has one and will forever be considered 'one of the best in the NFL' for the rest of his playing years.

Except for last year, he has excellent regular season stats, but he hasn't stepped it up in the playoffs. He should remember to buy Willie Parker and his defense a goodd X-Mas gift EVERY year !

Yes they are and so are our Patriots. By all means give the Jaguars their props, but lets not act like our team can't play with the big boys. When the competition gets tougher our TEAM gets TOUGHER.

I get nervous for EVERY game. This is the NFL. I'm already nervous for Saturday. I say, GO TITANS

But beating the Squealers down NEVER gets old. Jax would be tough I think.

 

[weswelker#83]

Haha, 4th & 12 TD!

 

[PatsWickedPissah]

my man Rthlsbrgr!

 

[blackglass3]

I don'y think anyone looks at Trent Dilfer as one of the best.

Actually, Dilfer is a better QB than Dan Marino and Boomer Esiason, and is tied with Steve Young and Bret Favre (based on Super Bowl rings).

 

[PatsWickedPissah]

I like this being hard fought. Wear down everyone for next Saturday.

 

[Pats Fanatic]

Well, that's a good point. This is a battered Steeler team that is making a lot of mistakes. I don't think Pittsburgh ever thought they were really going to win this game with anything other than some kind of divine intervention.

Your right it was over before it ever was fought.

 

[Boston Jay]

I feel kind of bad for Ben...he just keeps getting exposed every year. Yeah, he's got a great winning percentage, but in these big games he just doesn't seem to show up at all. Even back in his rookie year, I remember him almost handing the game to the Jets a few times. Will he even stick with the Steelers come contract time?

Rthlsbrgr tried to hand the game to NYJ, but Doug Brien handed the playoff game back to the Steelers.. twice. Herman Edwards also helped with his inane clock management.

 

[RayClay]

Why am I hearing the faint voice of Dennis Green "we let them off the hook?"

Starting with Garrard's terrible decision interception, they can't put Pitt away and Pitts terrible.

They almost literally could have run the half out and still scored, I bet.

 

[Halifax_Pats_Fan]

tonight the steelers should go no huddle....Ben seems comfortable and the jags uncomfortable...

dunno, want it to be a game

Every game we play will be tough. It doesn't matter who it is.

 

[PromisedLand]

What's with the short kickoffs?

 

[Wax Frog]

I like this being hard fought. Wear down everyone for next Saturday.

I had been hoping, as I do vainly every Pats-playoff year, that this would at least go to overtime, for that very reason.

 

[Boston Jay]

What's with the short kickoffs?

I think they are trying to avoid Jones-Drew on the kickoffs.

 

[Brady to Brown]

Were I Tomlin, I would bring in a QB I liked.

 

[JR4]

Now things get tight.
Will Garrard choke down the stretch?

 

[blackglass3]

Why in the blue hell are they throwing?

 

[MrBigglesWorth]

Jags are choking
