I'm not a Steeler fan but it is apparent to me they are the best team in football right now. No doubt the toughest team. The Seahawks haven't had to face nearly the same level of competition. Carolina is only a mediocre team and beating the Bears was no special feat as the Bears were the most overratted team in football. Steelers dominated every team they faced in their run leading up to this week. More important they did it on the road. I think they will physically destroy the Seahawks dominate the game and win the Superbowl easily. They deserve it. The NFC is just no match for the AFC lately. Although Seattle is a good team and definetly the best the NFC has to offer, when lousy teams like Washington, Chicago, Carolina, Tampa Bay and the Giants make the playoffs, it certainly makes the Seahawks look a little better than they are. Compare the records of the NFC playoff teams to the records and stats of the AFC. Teams like Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Denver, and New England could have all won the NFC easily.
I'm finding it really difficult to understand how someone can degrade Seattle at this point. I mean, don't give them much respect - fine, whatever, your call. But, to condemn them - that's false cockiness in favor of Pitt. Carolina is not a mediocre team. After just a few minutes of play, they had to resort to their 4th-string RB, so that obviously hurt their showing. But, they are extremely well-coached and are solid players. IMO, yesterday's game was more about credit due the Seahawks - just an awesomely-executed game in every way. I respect the Steelers and they deserve this, hands-down. But, I'm gonna hurl if I hear one more Steeler player (I'm talking to you, you goof, Joey Porter) or fan talk about the lack of respect given them. And Hal, I like your logic, but I think the line moved to 3.5 (instead of the typically field-goal spread), because linemakers are expecting more money to go on the Steelers (out of popularity and hot-streak, as much as anything) instead of the other way around. But, semantics - the logic is right.
LiveWithIt, and the rest of steeler nation, i have before me the biggest plate of crow imaginable. mjk don't dig in to that crow to hard. As a steeler fan who lives 1hr south of Indy this has been an excellent playoff run for the steelers, but at least your team showed respectfully. All the Colts fans around here talked big schlitz and once again they choked. The biggest confidence builder for the steelers was to beat the broncos, they knew a win in indy was easy. Pittsburghs D gave Manning a run for his money earlier this year.
Maybe this time they can with without steroids. Oh, F*** Super Bowl halftime shows. If I want to see Bon Jovi, I'll change the channel. Nothing like watching a hastily performed (lip-synched) performance to really pump me up for the game.... Give me some fat guys dancing to "Peanut Butter & Jelly", keep the halftime 15 minutes... The Super Bowl as it currently runs is just plain unwatchable.
So skydiveparents, will you be making the trip to Detroit for the big game?
littleLebowski: oops, guess I got that backwards. Hey, it was late at night, things like this happen. :)
Have beeb a fan of the Bus for years along with the Green Bay so i truely hope to see the Steelers win it all. The bus is a great player who gives a lot to the game and the fans. he never forgats where he came from or who he is. he did let successs go to hie head like some players [ T.O.]. He kept he cool sweet personality and played the game.
