The Second Annual Steelers March To The Super Bowl Thread.

Well I dunno. Seems Doors is making his prediction on how the Stillers will do based on NO games played (seeing as how he predicted the SB before the first game).

If you consider what I wrote in the OP a prediction you need to loosen up a bit. It was clearly a bunch of smack talking and an invitation for more of the same. And somehow you missed the point. For the second year in a row.

I saw the highlight of the Ravens game, and an indicator of their future:

Kordell Stewart trying to run a pass offense.

I’m still wiping up the tears from laughing so hard.

On another subject, how about those Browns? I picked up a Cleveland paper today and they’re trashing their own team. Already.

I am surprised at how easy the Ravens made it look when they stuffed Vick; but the Falcons don’t look very strong at this point.

You know what really sucks? The Ravens have a new owner, so I can’t hate them because of that turd Modell anymore. Oh, wait, I can hate them because they should still be in Cleveland except for that turd Modell, and because he moved them I’m forced to go elsewhere to watch the Steelers in spite of the fact that Central Pennsylvania is Steelers country.

There, I knew I could find a reason to hate them. :slight_smile:

Kordell now plays for the Ravens? I hadn’t heard. Interesting.

I just got back from the Steelers game.

I finally got tickets to a game at Heinz Field, and it’s a nice place. I couldn’t have asked for a better game- winning like this vs. any AFC North opponent in the regular season would have made it a little nicer, but I’ll take it. My seats (the wife and I) were on the 10 yard line, near where Randle EL made his circus catch.

Revenge on the Texans, 38-3. Pre-season, but it’s another step on the march…

Yeah, it was definitely a spanking, but it’s just preseason, so while I can rightfully be excited about it I can’t get too excited.

Besides, the Texans suck eggs.

Well, the 3 years running NFC Chamionship Game Iggles have left their starters in the entire first half whereas the 6-10 last year Steelers put in their second team in the second quarter, and the Iggles are STILL down by a field goal, 17-14.

Tell me this isn’t shaping up to be a hell of a season, Steelers fans! :smiley:

This ain’t a bump, this is a kick.

Gets even better, those big bad Steelers held on to beat a 4 and 12 team. Surely all the angels in heaven and the holy spirit of Terry Bradshaw’s late and lamented hair plugs smiled down on the field today. But next week they face a ratbird team with a homicidal linebacker who just watched his team suck the life out of their number one quarterback (or was it the other way around?). Ray Ray (one of the few raven playmakers to have already beaten their respective federal indictments) will not be pleased. So who wins next week? I don’t care. My Brownies, who nobody gave a chance just slapped the ravens like a red headed step child, or in ray ray’s case, like an Atlanta nightclub goer not wearing body Armour, so it matters not as long as the Cowboys start Viagra Vinny next week.

Yea, yea, yea. Lame rant but sometimes we gotta get out our digs in before we’re buried
.

Hey, a win is a win is a win, and a loss is a loss is a loss, most especially when it’s to the hapless Brownies. :smiley:

I foresee a spanking next week. Pittsburgh 28, Ravens 7, and it really won’t even be that close.

You’re one game back on that bet, Dave. Let me know when you want to either reconsider or up the ante. I’ll be here. :slight_smile:

The bet’s for the season, not a game. Remember how the Patriots started last year and where they wound up. I’m not worried.

While you’re at it, note that the Patriots are already a game ahead of last year’s pace.

You’re all just hoping for second place. Admit it.

And the Lions win on the road!!!

Ah Hem, I direct you to the following definition: Hapless.
hapless:

adj : deserving or inciting pity; “a hapless victim”; “miserable victims of war”; “the shabby room struck her as extraordinarily pathetic”- Galsworthy; “piteous appeals for help”; “pitiable homeless children”; “a pitiful fate”; “Oh, you poor thing”; “his poor distorted limbs”; “a wretched life” [syn: miserable, misfortunate, pathetic, piteous, pitiable, pitiful, poor, wretched]

After reading that I submit my Brownies today were Hapfull, hapfull I say. [same cite]

hapfull:

adj : inciting or causeing others to deserve pity; “hapfully victimizing”; “the shabby play calling caused all to agree that Boller was extraordinarily pathetic”- Matt Cavanaugh; “piteous appeals for help on the defence by Ray Ray went for not”; " ::SLAP:: I’m sorry, was that your football team"?

[Ennui finnishes off his six pack, lets stinking dogs lie and vows to stop posting drunk.]

[Ahem]
Two words:

Vikings, bitches!
That is all.

Four words, Dio:

TO. Next Monday Night.

Seven words:

Damn it, Jake, just take the safety!

No shit.

Oh my god, my boys didn’t suck.

Go Broncos! Go Broncos!

And I have to tip my hat to the Steelers for holding on against the Raiders. We appreciate it muchly over here.

Did anybody see the Ravens today? I heard they were supposed to play the Browns, but it doesn’t look like they ever showed up…

Fucking hamsters ate my post! Gah!!!

Anyway, I predict a Jets - Cowboys all-tuna Superbowl.

Pats can lose because they never destroy anybody, they always just barely win. And in those wins they usually get an awful lot of lucky breaks. Once those dry up, the conference is wide open.

The asspounding my beloved Giants took yesterday sucked big moose dick. If they still produced the Wide World of Sports, Kurt Warner would be the new “agony of defeat” guy.

The only thing I hate more than the Sheagles is TO. So it was nice to see them join forces to embarass big blue. Ugh. At least Strahan didn’t point at the scoreboard this time.

Sucks to have your back against the wall in week 2, but we really need to beat the Redskins next week. Fortunately, our weaknesses are stopping the run and being soft in the secondary, so we’ll match up well against Coles and Clinton fucking Portis. Good christ.
