Rams and Steelers

Here's my theory....

The Steelers are simply too good to beat.

In the AFC I think the Rams CAN win on turf. SO I'm calling the long shot and saying ON TURF in Atlanta the Rams have a fighting chance and can win. Then we need Culpepper ot come up big and beat Philly. So then the Rams travel to Minnesota to play INSIDE ON TURF. I'd love to see the greatest show on turf become the 1st 6 seed to make the Bowl. Specially since my boy Brett threw 4 interceptions and kill the Pack from winning.

Where's nemt?  Where's all the Indy fans who swore up and down that Indy was the greatest team in the universe?

I said that Manning couldn't win a big game.  I said defense wins championships.  I said Manning couldn't beat New England.  I said Manning couldn't play in the snow.

People called me an idiot, and yet I had history and the facts on my side.  To them, I offer up some crow.

Start eating.

I hate all New England teams cein I live in NE.... but.....

Tom Brady was 6-0 going into the game in the playoffs

NE had homefield advantage

They had won more games.

They'd already beaten Indy.

Why would anyone pick Indy? I'm happy to see Manning fall flat on hi face against. I don't buy that he's the best quarterback in football. And I'm sick of people saying he is.

Pittsuburg over Atl in the big game, should be two great games for the AFC and NFC tho.

Big Ben never put up huge numbers on the season.  Pittsburgh didn't win all those games because of Big Ben.  Their defense played well, and their offensive line has dominated.  The fate of the Steelers does not rest solely on Ben's shoulders.

I think New England should be favored in the rematch, but not because Ben will lose the game.  I think New England should be favored because Cory Dillion is going to win the game.

You're judging him on the basis of one game.

the thing that is keeping me sane about the dillion this is that in the two games against the jets the steelers kept the best rucher in the league (in terms of yards at least) to 72 yds and 77 yds.  The steelers have the best rushing defense so this will be interesting.

Ben has absolutely no presure on him. His team makes him good. Period. He has not 1, but 2 great running backs. He has a great offensive line. A great tight end. Good receivers. And the number 1 defense in the league. (Number 1 rush defense as well. Have fun Corey.) A quarterback's fate rests so much on the talent around him and Big Ben's had some wonderful advantages. I think he can make a mistake or 2 and still come out ok as long as the rest of the team plays well. They don't ask him to win games. They simply ask him not to turn the ball over.

I feel the same about Manning. 49 touchdowns is great. But I think other teams QBs could have accomplished the same feats given his offense around him and the poor defense that makes running up the score a necessirty.

I think Rothlisberger will make some stupid decisions in the pocket that either cost them turnovers or touchdowns and that will make the difference.  He'll make rookie mistakes and the question will be whether the rest of the team can still overcome them.  Against the Patriots, the answer is no.

Yea this pats / steelers game is weird for me.  I really really really hate pittsburgh and would love to see them lose.  However thinking purely as an eagles fan I think the eagles would have an better chance of beating pitt in the superbowl than they would NE.  But I think they can beat NE so I'm still rooting for them in this game.
