THE PITTSBURGH Sports CHATTER

[POJO_Risin]

Keys to the Denver game...

1. intermediate passing...open up the run game...

2. They can run on that defense...c'mon...we're talking the Browns west here...and we all know how good the Steelers are against the Browns...

3. Make Plummer...Plummer...

If they play the way the did against Indy...Denver can't win...

[ALinChainz]

And even though they won ... the whole officiating thing and the Vanderjagt taunt ... they have a chip ... I think they can win in Denver after what they faced in Indy.

[POJO_Risin]

You know Bettis has a chip on his shoulder...

Roeth...2 for 2...

2 years...2 AFC title games...

time to see him in the Super Bowl...

that hit on his arm was a cheap shot...by the way...

if you call your team in the NFL to win the championship in week 12...you a horses ass...

if you get to the championship...

say it...

so I'm saying it...

The Steelers are going to the big dance...

I know you're thinking it to Va...so I'll say it for you...

it's the Steelers time...

Am I going to talk smack?

Fuck no...not my game...and it's an even game...ad to Denver...it's in Denver...

Va was right...Pittsburgh is a better team in the playoffs on the road...

so here we go again...

time to dance...

and glad they admit to fucking up that call fucking now...

because that was the game...

fuckers...

It's about time you give me some props, you bastard....

I'm not talking one bit of smack...

Like I've been telling the fellas at work, Steeler fans are SOOOO used to this shit...

6 times in 11 years...

3 times in 5 years....

So we don't get excited until we're invited to the dance...

Matter of fact, I may not even talk shit if they win...

I will talk constructively though...

I don't think if the Steeler defense plays even an average game, the Broncos won't get close to 100 yards rushing...

If they play defense like they did against the Colts, it's game-set-match...

On offense, I would keep up the pressure by hitting Miller over the middle, and a heavy dosage of Parker/Bettis....

And I believe another trick play is definitely in the cards....

[POJO_Risin]

You don't have to talk smack to predict a win...

[Va Beach VH Fan]

Not risking the jinx....

And you know what I'm talking about....

[POJO_Risin]

Yeah...I do...

but I'm sick of walking around on eggshells only to have them lose.

That "worrying about the jinx" shit has done nothing for me with the Steelers in the past...

so fuck it...

I'm at least going to enjoy the possibility for once...

every year...

I go with...

"I'm not saying it..."

and they lose...

so fuck the jinx...

Steelers to the dance...

Broncs are just pretenders...

[POJO_Risin]

3:00 on Sunday...the Broncos start to become a distant memory...

[Fairwrning]

I will be pulling for the Seahawks and Broncos...:D

Maybe if you had Stewart at QB ..you could win...:D

[POJO_Risin]

No...we'd lose if we had Stewart...

QB's like Stewart...and Vick...can't get you past the Championship game...

Roeth is far superior to both...as he gets what it takes to be a good NFL quarterback...on a team...

and not be an "I man..."

If Kordell Stewart would have remained in the "slash" role, as a part time QB...WR...punt returner...KO returner...running back...

he would have been an all pro every year...

and talent wise...Vick would be the biggest thing the sport has ever seen...

but of course...the I mentality...I have to be the QB...I have to be the guy...blah...blah...blah...

Steelers over the Broncos in a great game between 2 teams that are very...very similar...

Good to see Cowher talking about Noll the other day...

[POJO_Risin]

I could care a less about the NFC game...

but wouldn't mind seeing the dogs win that game...

My best friend is in the 8th row for that fucking Broncs game...

pisses me off to no end...

[amadeus]

It will be the Steelers in a very close one. Big Ben has matured alot since last year and they need to stick to a game plan that works against Denver, just like they did against the Colts. Just pound with a heavy dose of Bettis and keep the mixture of Miller/Ward/Randle-El going strong. As a die-hard Steeler fan, it is time for Cowher to get over this hump and go to the SB with an actual QB (not like that putz O'Donnell who turned out to be the Cowboys MVP in SB XXX LOL). Peace.

[Fairwrning]

Roethlisburgershernngt is a bad -ass QB...of the 4 remaining ..he is the best IMO..

[Fairwrning]

should be a great game....hope it goes to the wire regardless who wins

[POJO_Risin]

If Pittsburgh can do what they did against Indy...and jump out to a 14 point lead...

Jake Plummer will make mistakes...

I don't think Denver will get much pressure on Ben...and if he has time back there...he'll kill you...that is...until the D's softened up...

then it will just be a matter of how long it takes for the Denver D to tire out from the run game.

Denver...unless they find a way to spring Bell...won't run the ball effectively...

which will put pressure on Plummer...

and I'm sorry...as impressive as the win against the Pats was...because it was the Pats...I wasn't impressed with the game other than the turnovers that Denver helped create...

and a couple of plays...

New England handed that game to them...
