Well, at least you didn't hijack my thread with QB contraversy talk. Don't you guys have enough Drew threads??? Brings me back to the Korky days though..

Thanks! Like I posted in here a few times. Yinz aren't all that bad. Hell, last year we were 6-10 looking at an 8-8 this year. Like my buddy Geddy Lee says... Anything can happen... As long as we get another shot at them damn patsies. Revenge is a dish best served cold. It is very cold at Heinz in January... Very cold.

If they do, it won't be by YOUR team. You will be sitting on the couch (along with your team) watching it though..

He didn't "make contact" he BLOCKED the LB while, or before, the ball was in the air. It WAS a penalty, it was a classic example of a "pick" That particular LB was running outside to cover the RB out of the backfield. He may have got there, he probably WOULD'NT of, put in plain english, it was a penalty. How can THAT cause you the game. You were playing against our 3RD stringers and you think the officials cost you the game??

I think a few coaches will look to what Big Ben has done and say "Why Not?" I think for Lossman to be effective, you might need a offensive lineman and a quality WR and you have a nice offense. Your rookie from Wisconsin should step up even more and with another WR threat, you could be quite the nice little offense. You guys seem close.

I think the patriots will have their hands full before they even get a shot at us. Unless by some mircle the colts choke at home against the Broncos. I see the colts giving the patriots a run for their money at Foxboro. IF they make it through that we will see what happens. Thanks for all the well wishes though. I hope we smack them around some as well...

Spidey. Thanks for the apology. I know it sucks to get so close. You guys put a nice string together, and it is something to buid on for next year. You didn't play any BIG teams during that stretch, but you can only play who you are scheduled against. You have a nice defense and with some secondary help should be in good shape next year. Don't worry too much about Drew, isn't that what you drafted Lossman for?

Now this is just TOO funny. I was here before the game posting about the game. I said I would be back after win or loose when some posters came in and said I was just here to start trouble and would not come back after the game. I came back and did not post anything bad. I COULD've mention that your offense could not score against our 2nd and 3rd stringers. Or that you said you would run over us. Anyone on YOUR team break 100 yards? Please don't make me post more. Take it in stride...

You played a team that was 14-1. I warned you....

Well, win or lose I said I would be back. Here I am. I am sure most of you could care less, but I meant what I said, and said what I meant. Steelers are 15-1 and yinz are making draft pick posts soon... I told you to watch out for our running game. I also said our defense will shut your offense down. I didn't think we would get to Bledsoe as often as we did, but the man has ALWAYS been a statue back there. He HAS to get rid of the ball! I also mentioned Willie Parker and Verron Haynes, but even HE didn't play that much. Anyhoo... Crow is served.

Looks like a win/win situation for both our clubs. we're glad to be rid of him, you're glad you have him. Some coaches just need the right place to flourish. See Bellichek

Are you Kidding me??? Go back and look at that game in Jacksonville. 4th quarter. Under 2 minutes to go. The first sellout of a that stadium since it's inception. Steelers down by 2. Ben goes 3-4 (only incomplete pass was a spike) and gets the steelers in EASY field goal range to win the game. Yea, he is a nut case under pressue

He's not a steeler anymore...

You have done well shutting down other run D, but this is not the steelers. we impose our will against most D in the 2nd half. He NEVER give up on the run. We don't have to. If we punt it away. We leave it up to the D to stop the other team. Get the ball back and pound it some more. It should be a good game. Maddox <> Kitna. He will be fine.

I agree 100%. You also need to look at the come from behind wins he has had in Dallas, Cincy, Cleveland and Jax. When he NEEDED to be in control, he executed perfectly. Even in the jets game. He did what was needed of him to get the win. This is the same formula that the steelers had in 2000-2001 season except when we needed a QB to make up for mistakes, he threw 2 INT's on 2 consecutive plays. I don't see that with Big Ben.

Hey, Don't WE get props for taking down the Ravens for you as well last week? That had to help...

Maddox will do fine. I think he has learned as much from Ben this year as He has taught. he can hit a passer in stride and although is less mobile, he has learned to either get rid of the ball, or take the sack. I haven't gone to look and se who the backup QB will be. I wonder if they brought St. Peirre up I think you might want to worry about Duce. He did have 3 out of 4 100+ rushing games when he started with Pitt. The only reason he didn't get 4 is because he got dinged up in the 3rd. Don't forget about Haynes either. Good luck.

Hey, C'mon you forgot about 2001 vs the Pats. If you're going to bring u the past, bring it ALL up. Can I tell you what we had in comman in 98 and 01. Kordell S. We had a chance to win each game, but it was put in the QB's hands. End of story. Please stop with the Rookie QB stuff. He has done FAR more than any QB since the 1970 merger. Do you think he is the normal QB in a normal situation? You don't think the Ravens, jets, Redskins, Pats, Eagles. Let off on him because it wasn't the playoffs? He has one of the BEST QB ratings in the 4th quarter then ANY QB in the league. Like you said, he has talented receivers around him. a great OL and running game and the #1 Defense overall. Plus, they boy has Moxie..

Well besides the injuries to our OL and the decision to try and be a pass first offense (You might notice who you new HC is) we had a bad year. I know the vaunted Bill have ALWAYS had above .500 seasons though right??? Scribo. I guess you are right. I am in a win/win. However, I ALWAYS want my team to win and will be dissapointed if they don't show up for this game. I would like to see what the Bills can do. For starters, I would like to see you knock down the patsies a few pegs next year. RabidbillsfanVT- How many chances did you get against the pats? You needed twice against the Jets. What's the difference?

Why don't you wait until you are actually IN the playoffs before talking smack...

Man am I glad to be rid of Mularky.. Just wait until you start drafting QB/WR and THEN see how many double reverse flea flicker statue of Liberty plays for a gain of 1 yd (or minus 11) you will see

... You know... I don't think I have heard that for the past ummm 13 weeks!

Holy Crap. Know we have to go back 3 years to try and show me up... Special teams and KS cost us that game. see it many times. That is history. You wouldn't want me to go dig up some of the print from any of your 4 SB losses would you???

ummm... Just a little point here. THe Steelers defense is MUCH better than the pats. also, can you name ONE team that has stopped the running game of Pittsburgh? I know you have to root for your team, but give me something to work with here...

Why am I here??? Aren't our teams playing each other this week?? Yea, you're divsion is tougher? How'd you fare against the Ravens? You had your shot and lost. You would've needed our help last week to give you a shot at the playoffs this week. we've taken care of every team in your division as well. Or D will not be depleted. Scott, who was are starter will be filling in for Townsand Who Broke his hand. Harrison has done a great job in place of Haggins. Porter, Polamalu and Farrior will all be in as well as Hoke, Smith and Van Oelhoffen. I wouldn't worry about your special teams. Gardocki Hasn't needed to punt in the last 2 games. Ward, el, Plax, Duce, Krieder, Haynes will all be playing as well. For awhile anyway. It is not a given either way right now. Oh.. and We are 8-0 at home THIS YEAR. What else matters?
