Everybody's picking us to get smashed...

[Steel Vanguard]

I've been watching the talking heads all day, and they're almost unanimous in their confidence that we will lose and lose badly.

They're not saying "who will win", they're asking "how badly will the Steelers get blown out?"

Alot of them are harping on this theme that no team has started a playoff game without their leading rusher and receiver.

But we're DEEP at receiver, and I think Ben will bring his all to the game. He wants to prove we're the real thing.

I say WE RIDE!

What say you?

 

[stillwright]

That is why you play the game...Anything is possible.

sounds like indy in 05 to me... no chance in the world.. unanimous underdogs

Steelers need to come out of the tunnel blasting this song

 

[SteelerSask2]

Crowd the line of scrimage and make manning play in the phone booth and knock the **** out of him. If you play soft zone here you are ******.

 

[Ron Burgundy]

Manning isn't in great shape and neither is Oschlieger or whatever his name is. I will stick with my prediction for a 27-24 Stiller win.

While losing Brown, without any question, is a serious blow, the talking heads have been acting like both Wheaton and Bryant are practice squad guys. I mean, you can't replace an Antonio Brown, but both of these guys had decent seasons and had Atleast 750 receiving yards this past year and, realistically, Bryant probably would've put up 1,000 had he not missed 4 games from the suspension. I get that Ben called Bryant out last week, but this week is REALLY Bryant's time to shine and show that steeler toughness Ben was talking about. Let's see them make some ******* plays this weekend! #HereWeGo!

This is what I'm looking at. Manning was garbage before he got hurt.

Manning don't like contact any more than Brady. Keep him moving, put him on his back, and let Bryant and Wheaton carry us to the Championship round.

Find the positives.

One could say that at times Ben gets too enamored with Brown. Sometimes he won't throw to a guy he doesn't have confidence in. Well, that is out the window now. He is going to have to throw to everyone, one would think.

Broncos are fat and comfy at home. The Steelers are uncomfortable and probably somewhat agitated after last week.

I would go in there with the attitude that a loss is a loss, it doesn't matter by how much, it is still a loss, and just throw everything at the Broncos, and see if you can pull out a win. You never know.

Don't forget about TnT my friend. Would be nice to see them get rolling on Sunday.

I guarantee Denver will be trying to get to Ben as hard as we will be trying to get to Peyton. This game will be all on the Steeler O-line because one sack and it could be all over for Ben in this game.

WE RIDE

For this very reason............

The O-Line even if they get beat on a play......trip, clip, or tackle the MFer. I will take a 15 yard tripping or holding penalty over an injury sack.

And The O-Line also need to hover and intimidate anyone who gets near Ben.......kinda like in Hockey when anyone gets near your Goalie.

 

[CoolieMan]

games are not won or loss because of talking heads opinions. **** them all

 

[CharlesDavenport]

This Steeler team is pretty ******* good when everyone says we will lose. Granted, we're pretty ******* bad when everyone says we will win, but we won't have to worry about that during this Super Bowl run.

 

[Spike]

**** the Donkeys



amen

Didn't Phil Simms actually say during his playoff game that year that they didn't have a chance against Indy. caused a big deal that week with the players

That's what I was thinking, take the holding penalties if you have to but don't let Ben get touched.

 

[Drink IRON City]

Thyat's all I'm hearing too!!!!! Screw these talking heads as they can listen to shitpac's apology. They don't know anymore than you or I. Granted we are missing a couple of cogs, but that's what replacement cogs are for......******** they are.


24-19 US


Salute the nation

You ever poke wounded animal with a stick? Time for the young guys on defense to graduate to the next level.

Problem is neither are #1 receivers and with Brown out they will be covered by the Broncos #1 and #2 CBs instead of the 2nd and 3rd CBs , huge difference. Without Brown dictating coverage these two nice complimentary receivers now have to be the lead dogs and they are not that type of players especially against a great secondary.

Manning is a good hit away from being out of the league

Then hopefully Sammie Coates brings it. He was known for playing his best in the biggest games in college.. Maybe he can make them pay for only looking at Bryant and Wheaton

Honestly if we worry to much about manning we are fools. Stop the run. Dont let their d make huge plays. This is one of the times you want to play conservative. We are the talent underdogs... Bring em down to our speed

That's kinda my point though. Bryant has all the ability to make him a #1 in this league. Size, speed, everything. Mentally, he's gotta bring it. It's gonna be up to him, this Sunday and going forward, to prove that he's no slouch. I mean he did have 10 catches for 87 yards against these guys last time so he made some plays. Everyone seems to forget that. I'll gladly take 10 and 100 from him on Sunday.
