    Every game has been sold
    Out for 40 years. I don't think anyone else can say that. Yes we have the best fans. Especially for the small market.

    Lmao!!!

    Steelers have ONE playoff win in the past five years.......

    They have the talent, it's that there coaching is awful. There head coach has costed them so many games.

    As long as Suh doesn't get a cheap shot in like Burfict last year I like their chances against the Dolphins. The Chiefs game is likely going to be impacted significantly by weather, going to be a coin toss on the ground game. Steelers by far have the toughest road in the AFC playoffs, Raiders aside, but they are going in healthier than they have the past several seasons.


    My concern with them is they have had to play harder than should have been the past few weeks.

    You obviously have a hate for the Steelers, but I really hope they get a rematch with New England and then the Cowboys.

    Done using excuses on health, but the Patriots didn't exactly mop the floor with a Landry Jones led offense back in Oct.

    Tomlin an awful coach?? 1 Super Bowl win. 2 Super Bowl appearances. Winning record in the playoffs. I realize they haven't done much in the playoffs in recent years but critical injuries have played a part in that.

    Brace yourself for the riding the coat tails of Cowher.

    As a Steelers fan I've had my uncertainties with Tomlin, faiped 2 point conversions against the Cowboys sticks out recently.

    That said, I think he is a better coach than 85% of the coaches in the league. In my opinion, their woes this year fall more on Keith Butler. He was not quite ready to fully take over DC position but they were forced to let Lebeau go or lose Butler who was the DC in grooming.

    I think he has come a long way the second half of the season, much like the team as a whole making solid second half adjustments every game.

    Belichick has proven to be the best coach IMO, despite the several instances of cheating, and, again IMO, proves that Brady is not the GOAT. First 4 games this year proves it, Cassil, etc.... It's the system not the player.

    Same can be said with a lot of Steelers past stars, they leave and go elsewhere to become ordinary. Randle 'El, Burris, Wallace. Kevin Greene is probably the biggest exception to that.

    This got pretty long winded and off topic a bit. I just want a healthy team in every game they play this post season regardless of how far they make it. As I said, tired of the injuries being excuses.

    I basically agree with everything you said here. Tomlin hasn't coached as long as Cowher did yet but their track records are comparible regarding overall winning percentage and playoff records. Though I'm from MN I've been a Steelers fan since I was a kid. Let's hope they have a SB run in them this year!

    I shouldn't have put the full coaching blame on Tomlin, because I agree he's better than 85% of the other coaches. The blame falls more on the D.C. And OC. Injuries haven't helped, but every team can use that excuse.

    And ya sorry I'm a steeler hater. I lived in western pa for a few years, it was torture!! I also have a lot of family from Pittsburgh....and they don't shut up about their pikksburg stillers!

    Watching this game, kinda hard not to feel sorry for Carr. Don't see New England getting nervous

    It's really too bad what the injury to Carr did to what had been a promising season for Oakland. Their fans gotta feel sick to their stomach watching Conner Cook play.

    Belichick probably has to be considering sitting Brady next weekend :lol: Houston is going to go in with a a false sense of confidence and get trounced. I'll be rooting for them, if nothing else just to put some hits on Brady, but just not seeing anything to expect anything but a route

    Houston's #1 defense taking on Brady. Will be fun to watch.

    I don't. I knew you didn't have any balls and it was fun to prove it.

    Hey, I would go the same on the Giants game, but already being banned on archerytalk might have you a little nervous. :tu:

    Haha, Go Giants!

    Watching Seattle play is a joke! Every week they let them get away with more **** than anyone. Sherman would be an average corner if they didn't let him hold one arm all day. This is the biggest cheating and dirty team I have ever seen and the refs are blowing something other than the whistle!

    I barely watched either of the games yesterday as I just wasn't that interested. But I'll be tuned in today.

    He's a dirty thug. I'd love to see someone give him a taste of his own medicine one day. But he's pretty intimadating.
