So I guess someone had to start this thread...

Honestly.. this game means nothing. It would just be good to see someone beat the Pats, and if anyone can do it.. it's the Steelers. I am diehard Steelers, but honestly.. i'd almost rather lose this game if it meant us seeing them in the playoffs and THEN beating them. Damn, do i wish this game was in Pittsburgh.. because obviously we don't play as well on the road. BUT either way.. DO expect this to be the Patriots' toughest game yet.

Soooo.. i'm ready for the Steelers bashing / Pats praising. I would like to hear some honest thoughts though..

bring it on.

I really think Pittsburgh can beat them. Philly and Baltimore came as close as they did because of their defense... the Steelers can blitz the hell out of the Pats all day and get to Brady

I'm hella pulling for the Steelers, besides the Raiders they might be my favorite team in the league

go Steelers!

ravens D is much better than the stealer D
true the ravens d is much faster and aggressive

from nfl.com

At stake
The Steelers aren't concerned about history, but rather getting a first-round bye in the playoffs. The Steelers trail the Colts by one game for the No. 2 playoff seed and a bye in the AFC. The Patriots, who have clinched the AFC East, can clinch a first-round bye with a win and can claim homefield advantage in the AFC with a win and a Colts' loss.

Key matchup
Steelers RB Willie Parker vs. Patriots run defense. The Patriots are vulnerable against the run, but they have been able to mask this problem by taking early leads on teams and forcing opponents to throw. Ravens running back Willis McGahee rushed for 138 yards on Monday night, keeping Baltimore in the game by contrlling the clock. The Steelers rank third in the NFL in rushing and will likely run the ball to keep the Patriots offense off of the field. Expect to see a lot of Parker, who leads the AFC with 1,093 rushing yards.

Did you know?
The Patriots rank first in average points scored (39.1), total yards (425.3), and passing yards (304.0), while the Steelers rank first in points allowed (12.9), total yards allowed (230.8), and passing yards allowed (154.0).

sounds like they will be runnin the ball a lot in this game, ward and davenport injured though

the Ravens D is slightly more rounded overall than the Steelers, but there's not this huge gap some make it out to be.

I think Mike Tomlin will manage to conjure up some schemes to fuck Brady up for a while just like the Ravens did. It's all going to come down to whether or not they get a good amount of offense with no major mistakes.

Stealers wont beat shit
u say that like pittsburgh a shitty ass fuckin team. :ermm:

pittsburghs a good team and i dont think the pats are as tough as it seems , the eagles and ravens came close even if they werent a great team. i agree with wut was said about the ravens d bein better than pitt. ravens are fast and agressive somethin i think the steelers are lackin. but anyways pittsburghs a good team but our lack of dicipline and the mistakes we often make have cost us 3 games. ( which isnt bad ) but im not gonna sit here and make excuses for my team u know lol. we make mistakes with teams that shouldnt of even been a challange to us. like the jets for example, but i dont think its impossible for pitt to beat the pats. if we step it up ditch the flags and try to avoid mistakes as much as possible. it would be close but i think pitt could take it. now is pitt gonna step it up, is tomlin gonna dicipline them, and will parker stop fumbling the ball who knows .

No, I say it like that because the patriots are an all around better team, and they are firing on all cylinders....
