Yeah hopefully the loss of Pouncey won't hurt too much. Ben's had to deal with monster nose tackles before without much help and the running game did pretty well after he went down in the first half of the title game.It's quite striking to see the contrast between the Pittsburgh running game and GB's.
If the Steelers can run efficiently and win the time of possession battle they have a good chance to win the Superbowl. The Packers offense will be one-dimensional. The Steelers Defense will do what it does. Big plays at big times in big games.
To the patriots fan: Your team wasn't good enough to get to the AFC Title Game to face the Steelers. The pats were eliminated before the Steelers could give them the righteous ass beating that they deserved! And if you think anyone is intimidated by your playoff losing streak you're dreaming! The whole "oh the jets beat us so they'll definitely win the Superbowl" thing is funny too! Again, you're not that great. The Steelers have ruined many a feel-good underdog story before and they don't feel bad about it! It's all about the Steelers and gettin' them RAAAANGS!gnaw on itComment

Julius Peppers(notes) will need to work this weekend to pay off some debt.
Fortunately, he has a job Sunday in Honolulu in the Pro Bowl. The Chicago Bears defensive end was fined $10,000 for a helmet-to-helmet hit on Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers(notes) in Sunday’s NFC Championship Game at Soldier Field. The fine was reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Referee Terry McAulay called a 15-yard penalty on the play and the Bears reacted vehemently. The NFL has clearly sided with McAulay on the matter. The hit led to speculation in Wisconsin that Rodgers has suffered a third concussion this season. He did not.
Peppers will earn $45,000 if the NFC wins the Pro Bowl and $22,500 if they lose the game, more than enough to cover his fine.Another one of those classic genius posts, sure to generate responses.

Holy shit, Jeff Fisher is out of Tennessee, too...
Titans, Jeff Fisher parting ways
SI.com
In an unexpected development in what already has been a turbulent offseason in Tennessee, the Titans and Jeff Fisher, the NFL's longest-tenured head coach, are preparing to part ways, SI.com learned Thursday afternoon.
According to an NFL source close to the situation in Tennessee, the move could be announced as early as Friday, although it's uncertain if Fisher's departure will be termed a firing, a resignation or a mutual parting of ways.
Though information about Fisher's situation was scarce Thursday, it was confirmed by a league source that he will not return to coach the team in 2011, contrary to what was previously expected. Fisher was said to be in the process of negotiating the terms of his departure with Titans owner Bud Adams.
According to a league source, only Adams, Fisher, Titans general manager Mike Reinfeldt and team general counsel Steve Underwood were aware of the finer details of Fisher's imminent departure early Thursday evening. Members of the Titans front office could not be reached for comment Thursday, but SI.com was in contact with a member of the Titans public relations staff, who could not confirm the news.
Fisher has been on the job with the Houston/Tennessee organization since being named interim head coach late in the 1994 season, and he was expected to return for a 17th full season this year. But Fisher's future with the team beyond that was considered somewhat tenuous given that he was entering the final year of his contract, and Adams did not decide to retain him until Jan. 7, five days after Tennessee closed out a disappointing 6-10 season -- the Titans' worst since 2005.
In choosing to keep Fisher and release fifth-year starting quarterback Vince Young, Adams had seemingly settled the protracted standoff that had existed between Fisher and Young since late November, when the two had a very heated argument in the Titans' locker room following a home loss to Washington.
While it's not known what prompted the change regarding Fisher's status in Tennessee, league sources say Fisher was not happy to lose a pair of his longtime defensive coaches last week. Fisher fired defensive coordinator Chuck Cecil, one of his closest friends, and saw well-respected Titans defensive line coach Jim Washburn accept a similar position on Andy Reid's staff in Philadelphia. Given that Fisher had just one year of security to offer any potential coaching replacements, it was thought that his task of filling those roles would be different.
The Titans started promisingly in 2010, going 5-2 and fielding the league's second-highest scoring offense behind the Patriots through seven weeks of the regular season. But Tennessee lost eight of its final nine games, suffered through the Young-Fisher controversy, and endured the news that offensive coordinator Mike Heimerdinger was diagnosed with cancer.
The Titans missed the playoffs in each of Fisher's last two seasons, going 8-8 in 2009 after an 0-6 start. Tennessee is the only team in the NFL to have a losing streak of at least six games in both of the past two seasons. Tennessee's last playoff trip came in 2008, but the No. 1 seeded Titans wasted their 13-3 regular season when they lost at home to No. 6-seeded Baltimore in the AFC divisional round.
Fisher was the NFL's youngest head coach at 36 when he was promoted from Oilers defensive coordinator to interim head coach in mid-November 1994, replacing the fired Jack Pardee. He was named the franchise's full time head coach in early January 1995, and went 142-120 (.542) in his 16-plus regular seasons with the Oilers/Titans. But Fisher was just 5-6 in the playoffs, with one Super Bowl trip (1999), four division titles and six postseason berths over that span. Three of Fisher's five postseason wins came during Tennessee's 1999 Super Bowl run -- it lost that game to St. Louis, 23-16 -- and the Titans have not won a playoff game since winning at Baltimore in the first round of the 2003 postseason.
While speculation swirled around the Fisher and Young drama earlier this offseason, Fisher repeatedly said he hoped to finish his coaching career in Tennessee. Fisher, who will be 53 late next month, was under contract for $6.5 million in 2011, and had been in his job more than four full seasons longer than the NFL's next most-tenured head coach, Philadelphia's Andy Reid.

Holy Shit...
I bet there are some teams kicking themselves in the ass for not waiting for a chance to take booger-sickle...
Maybe Dallas will come calling..."Van Halen was one of the most hallelujah, tailgate, backyard, BBQ, arrive four hours early to the gig just for the parking lot bands. And still to this day is. It's an attitude. I think it's a spirit more than anything else is."Comment

It's not a surprise...but I don't think that anyone thought Young AND Fisher would be gone.
Hmmmm...will Cowher's name come up?"Van Halen was one of the most hallelujah, tailgate, backyard, BBQ, arrive four hours early to the gig just for the parking lot bands. And still to this day is. It's an attitude. I think it's a spirit more than anything else is."Comment

It's strange. From what I've gathered from the blogs at SI.com and ESPN, there will be a work interruption during training camp, but the games will still be played. So whatever takes place, it more than likely will disrupt any organized form of getting ready for the season. Adding on a new coach and staff would certainly make things far more complicated, so you'd have to believe that the astute owners would either promote from within or hang on to a coach, even if it means taking a step sideways or even backward, like with the Bengals. Then again, the last word I'd use to describe Cincinnati's ownership is "astute".

I guess the Browns wern't dumb per say, as to hiring shurmer, as this season could be a lost one regardless.
I think it'll be another slight rebuilding year regardless and putting more of Holmgren's plan into the works, allowing them to focus more on getting good by 2012 and possibly making a run then.
BTW, for some reason I get the vibe that Gruden gets the phins gig, if they decide to shitcan sparano.Still waiting for a relevant Browns TeamComment
