OFFICIAL - Pats vs. Steelers thread.

[Joe Tall]

What a match up, boys! How much more could we ask!?!

Will coach Belichick come out with another gem of a scheme?
More yards, Dillon or Bettis/Staley?
Will the rookie QB crack under pressure?
How much will the snow come into play?

Hero of the game: Adam Vinatieri

I'll be in the Sports Book for this one boys, enjoy the game.

Go Pats!
Joe Tall

[Edge34]

What's the line? Last I heard was Pats -3.

Of course, I'm still bettin' on the Steelers. Team of Destiny vs. the would-be dynasty. Should be a helluva match.

EDIT TO ADD: I don't think the snow will play near as much as it did against Indy. The Steelers are an outdoors team, playing at home. Not near as much harm as it was against the greatest show on turf (not STL anymore....)

[A_C_Slater]

Roethlisberger cannot be defeated.

Ever.


He is not human.... He is like, a piece of iron.

[jasonHoldEm]

It won't be the snow that matters as much as it will be the COLD. According to weather.com it's currently 12 degrees in the steel city ("feels like" -1) and it's likely to be even colder as we approach game time.

Go steelers. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Go Pats.

Wind will likely be even more of a factor than the cold. In Philly, there will be gusts up to 25 mph, not sure about Pittsburgh.

[Mano]

Should be a great game. This is the real Super Bowl - by far the two best teams in the league. Can't wait.

[Rick Diesel]

Anyone want to do an avatar bet on this one.

I'll take Pittsburgh, no spread.

Loser has to use avatar of winner's team (particular avatar to be decided by the winner) until after the Super Bowl.

First person to reply gets the action.

[Rick Diesel]

It's been 4 minutes since I posted. I figured one of you would have accepted by now.

[Tyler Durden]

I'll take it.

[Tyler Durden]

But it's any avatar that I choose at all right? Doesn't have to be Patriots related if NE wins right?

[Homer]

Dropped the Redskins? Wise move.

[Tyler Durden]

New England p*ssies???? I'm not even a Patriots fan but I am confident they will be victorious. Steelers ain't got game today. Big Ben will choke like a dog.

[/ QUOTE ]

No, I think he spent the week resting and bonus whoring on party so he didn't come up with much.

[ QUOTE ]
More yards, Dillon or Bettis/Staley?

[/ QUOTE ]

If I were the gambling type, and I'm clearly not, I would put my money on the bus - Duce Staley combination. The Steelers play better run D.

[ QUOTE ]
Will the rookie QB crack under pressure?

[/ QUOTE ]

I predict a few small cracks but nothing major, not even close to last week. The key will be whether NE stops the Steelers run early imo. If they do and Big Ben has to pass a lot early on then it could be trouble.

[ QUOTE ]
How much will the snow come into play?

[/ QUOTE ]

Zero. Didn't snow much last night and not snowing right now so I don't think it's really there assuming some sort of crew is at Heinz field TCOB. If somehow it starts snowing like crazy I think it will very minorly help the Steelers.

My Hero Predictions:
1. Troy Polamalu
2. Jerome Bettis

[Dynasty]

lastchance, get some glasses.

[kenberman]

Jarvis Green is gonna have to step it up

[lastchance]

Eh... Was buried behind 2-3 pages. Everything I said still stands. Best game of the season, by far.

[istewart]

Hey Shannon Sharpe: you look like an IDIOT with that beanie on.

[Toro]

Well we know who our Super bowl opponent will be.

[ChoicestHops]

Im gonna have to say Patriots, although I want the Steelers to pull out.

[Dynasty]

11 degrees, 10-15 mph winds, -1 wind chill.

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Look for some no huddle from the patriots.

Looks like the game is now In Big Ben's hands. His very cold hands. I think he wants his mittens.

edit: okay, I'll stop smack talking now before it gets really annoying.

[Shoe]

Go Steelers!!! I bet my entire sports betting bankroll on the home dog with the best record in the NFL +3 points. (it's not much though, lol).

[lastchance]

Not quite yet.

But Roethlisberger has got to stop throwing those balls away or more of those are going to land in the hands of the Patriots.

[Homer]

I still feel like yelling out 'Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuce'.

[Dynasty]

The Steeler defense has settled down. If Staley can get the running game going, they're going to give the Pats a good fight.

[lastchance]

Have to say, NE is hella tough on D though.

[daryn]

GOD DAMN WHAT A CATCH

[lastchance]

Someone cover Deion Branch! Damn nice play though.

[daryn]

the throw could have been no better.

[daryn]

TD PATRIOTS

[lastchance]

NE = impressive.

[BottlesOf]

The Steelers looked shitty in their last two games and this one is no different. Stick a fork in them.

Philadelphia and NE Superbowl--the one we all wanted to see. Please Philadelphia....please find a way to stop this juggernaut.

by the way, i am a boston sports fan, and while the patriots are a little different, i'm still not saying it's a lock yet. i'm just enjoying the game immensely, that's all.

[Greenthumb]

its a lock. just walk the ball in man, dont waste your energy.

[BottlesOf]

Nah, they'd be in the deck, but I feel like we'd need someone like Feeney as a King.

[istewart]

I'd die to be in New England to be able to hear WEEI tomorrow.

[Homer]

The stands are half-empty. Weak.

[Homer]

Not over I guess.

[Zoltri]

No its not over.
I keep thinking of that MNF game between Pats/Dolphins and NE blew a big lead to a lousy Miami team late in the 4th qtr.

[Mano]

Yeah, but that was a fairly meaningless game (very outside shot of homefield for NE). For Pitt to have a chance, I think they will need to come up with a couple of turnovers.

[Ozzzz]

This is BAD.

probably right. however i still hold out hope for those who cant grasp the obvious.

[Zoltri]

I am so impressed with Tom Brady.
If this guy retired tomorrow, I think he would have a good chance to make the HOF.

[Homer]

Very weird no FG attempt there.

[RogerZBT]

It's an interesting conversation, but I'm still in the "no" camp, even though I'm sure he'll get there eventually. If he had to retire tomorrow because of injuries ala Koufax, I might switch to yes.

[istewart]

Brady is so beastly. Does anyone else think Charlie Weis looks like Rodney Dangerfield?

btw, gg.

[sublime]

It's an interesting conversation, but I'm still in the "no" camp, even though I'm sure he'll get there eventually

if he is the QB of another winning SB team, it would be very hard for hiom not to be enshrined. like next to impossible.

[istewart]

I think there's a pretty strong argument that Koufax shouldn't be in the HOF. I think he should be, personally, though.

Yeah, but we're only talking about if he were to retire after this year, when he's basically got 4 years in the league and at no point was he even in the discussion of the best at his position. I don't know that I'd give him the vote based mostly on his performances on two or three SB's.

I think after a few more years (4-6 more?) he'll be an automatic.

For years I have thought Tom Brady was the most overrated QB in the league, but all this kid does is execute. He doesnt make critical mistakes in high pressure situations. All he does is win, when it matters the most.

Not mentioning this guy when your talking about the best player in the QB position is total nonsense. He should get the first mention.

The kid is a winner.

Ask the Colt fans what they think of Manning's records now?
Given a choice, I would easily take Brady over Manning and I have been saying that for a long time.

I'd just like to refer everyone to the thread from a week or so ago where someone complained "I'm sick of hearing statements like this..." about how good NE is.

In that post I stated why I thought we'd win. I said we'd be going for big plays on defense and taking some shots early on offense to try and take control of the game. I said we'd show the rookie some new stuff to try and take him out of his game.

(I also said to expect a typical ground war, which didn't happen in the second half, but nobody's perfect.)

Nice job boys... see you at XXXIX

Olympic has already posted the Pats -6 over Philly.
After this performance, I can see the line hitting the elusive 7.

[/ QUOTE ]


I doubt it. 7 is a magic number.

[/ QUOTE ]
Man, that was fast.
They bumped it up already to -7 and 47.5 O/U.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah but is it -7 -125 or -110? If it's -110 I'm jumping on the Eagles at +7.

I'll be online sometime around noon tomorrow. You can let me know what you want me to do by then.

Oh, by the way, you will have to include instructions as to what I have to do to get an avatar, as I have never set one up.

Nice win, at least I won big betting on Philly and the over in the AFC game.

You should buy the hook to +7.5 -120.

Anyone want to do an avatar bet on this one.

Loser has to use avatar of winner's team (particular avatar to be decided by the winner) until after the Super Bowl.
