The Steeler Game....

[Barb04]

I may live in New England, but let's go Steelers! I'm orginally from Long Island, NY, and grew up with the Jets so I watched intently last night. Oh, to not get 1 of those field goals was just awful!

Dunno, Debi, they either get the Patriots or the Colts. They've already beaten the Pats once. Whether or not they can take the Colts all depends on their D - especially the secondary.

 

[Renee750il]

Well, Debi, it looks like we get to root for the Steelers over the Patriots! They handled them before, let's hope they can do it again . . .

Yeah, I like them, if for no other reason than they busted the Patriots' win streak. I just can't like that team - I see too many dirty plays. And the Steelers are doing all their winning with a rookie quarterback that everyone thought they were crazy for wasting a draft pick on. Plus, they're just fun to watch. They play hard and they don't play dirty as a general rule. I really wish they hadn't played the Jets so early in the playoffs, since the Jets are another fun team to watch that plays a good, clean game. Their coach is also a favorite of mine - no egotistical bravado, no blame; everything you want to see in a coach. The quarterback is another young player who has a great deal of poise and a great deal of sportsmanship who so far is devoid of self-aggrandizing egotism. Just seems like a good kid all 'round.

AHEM .... As you can see I'm in Mass. and is very proud of my Patriots. I've been a fan since I was about 12 and remember growing up with the "Unknown Fan" paperbag over my head for many many years. Its ok though, the Steelers are a very tough team as are the Eagles. Both games will be exciting to watch and I'm looking foward to it ! As my memory serves me right, I belive Tom Brady was in the same boat as Peyton Manning 3 years ago. In any event, all four teams playing are very worthy. GOOD LUCK EVERYONE

LOL! Sorry, Avenlee. It's nothing to do with the people or the region - promise!

New England is Peyton's new Florida. When he was at Tennessee he couldn't beat Florida - especially in a big game. Dwight Freeney was pretty much the only bright spot for the Colts Sunday. He looks like the Tazmanian Devil coming through the line. Peyton's okay, but he's never going to be as much fun to watch - or define "quarterback" as well as Brett Favre. I'd love to see him with one more Superbowl ring before he retires . . .

Peyton needs less snow and more D.

Pittsburg looked very solid and always finds a way to win. They should have lost this one... anyone looking for a job kicking balls

Let's see, we're down to the Falcons, Steelers, Iggles and Pats aren't we?

Anybody read Tuesday Morning Quarterback (Gregg Easterbrook) at www.nfl.com?

AAAck what an intense weekend it will be. My two younger girls have basketball and soccer games this weekend and with these two intense football games, I'm going to be soup at work for Monday LOL! hmmm start of a new year, maybe a sick day would be in order? and I promise everyone, I won't rub it in on Monday LOL again, GOOD LUCK ALL

 

[Renee750il]

It's going to be a real shock if we end up with a Falcons/Steelers Superbowl! I don't think anyone expected the Falcons to get this far. Guess Mike Vick is officially back from last year's injury - he is so much fun to watch!

Avenlee, I think a sick day for football flu is definitely within reason!

Don't worry, eagles will kill them in the superbowl.

E A G L E S............OH FLY EAGLES FLY.....LMAO SRY JUST A RANT
