Amazing game yes...they said our defense wouldn't be able to stop their offense haha.
Muchdrama haven't you noticed? You can't stop Manning. Holding the record he's the best quarterback in the game. Patriots will be a hard match up...but I think if we beat them..steelers will be like the broncos...dust to be swept away.
...
Underestimating the Steelers... They have been amazing all year long... I think whoever the Colts face out of the two it will definitely be worth watching...
...
Are you kidding me?
The Steelers didn't just squash, but they killed the Patriots. The score was 34-20. They killed the Eagles too, the best team in the NFC. That game was 27-3. And in both games the Steelers were 1st and goal for another touch down, but decided to down them. How is that dust to be swept away by the Colts?
You can stop Manning when you're the #1 defense in the league. The Steelers have allowed the least points of any team in the league. They're sacks are rocking too.
Manning can execute passes well. With Roethlisberger, our running game is untouchable, and his passing isn't something to snear at either.
Sooo, I guess we'll see it when it happens. You and your Colts can just keep on underest...

They play the National Champions, Second Ranked Defense...
If they win they play the #1 Defense in the league...

No I was stating how difficult it would be for them...
They would have to beat the Pats and if they win face the steelers...
So no assumptions just stating doesn't look feasible... Personally I think as most i'm sure it will be between the steelers and the pats (which will be a great game)

It will be a close game, but don't count the Pats out. It's one thing to run indoors in climate controlled surroundings, it's another to run around in the muck in 20 degree snowy Foxboro.

You don't think they have?
Staley was unable to play in quite a few games and Bettis was his replacement. Yes, his replacement. He shattered Staley's total rushing yards. Heck, he even shattered his own total rushing yards from previous seasons.
I'm so sick of hearing how other teams make the excuse that they didn't have their star player (singular) and that's why they lose. The Steelers have been riddled with the most injuries of any team I can think of.
Take for example:
Maddox
Scott
Staley
Burress
Bell
Harding
All of which were starters at the beginning of the season. All of which were unable to play during some point in the season. At one point the Steeler's injured list was occupied by 17 players. Not to menti...

Look for a surprise this weekend in the rematch with the Jets. I am not knocking the Steelers by any means. I have a great deal of respect for them but I still have to call the upset here as I am a JETS FAN! J-E-T-S Jets!!! Jets!!! Jets!!! Jets!!!.
Steelers fans must recognize that Big Ben, although he has had a tremendous year second in my books only to Manning's 49 TD performance this year, Big Ben did not have a good game against the Jets. Now I know you all will argue that, "Oh but "The Bus (Jerrome Bettis)" did. All I'm saying is the Jets are fresh off of losing that regular season game to your team and vividly re...

I agree, the Steelers are in for a battle. Pennington has to step up.
If the Jets actually do pull off the miracle upset here and wind up in the AFC Championship Game, then the showdowns either way will be classics where you have either a Jets-Patroits or Jets-Colts. I'm still going to say GO COLTS espite being a Jets fans as I know what the realities are.

Sorry... I disagree... The steeler's defense is genius... Personally I go with... Steelers-Pats
Which will be a far better game than any Jets game 😛

No, but the Colts will have already taken care of that given the tenuous nature of the Patriots Defense with 3-4 key defensive players questionable-doubtful. By then, this whole point will have been deemed as moot.

You may be right.....If Seymour is out, Indy probably wins. The only way to beat him is to apply pressure, and that's what Seymour does. Teams that blitz him get burned.
...
You sound like the Steelers in 2002...remember how they were making plans for the Super Bowl before they played the Pats? And what's worse, after the Steelers were humiliated by the Pats, for a whole year they kept saying they were still the better team, and that the wrong team went to the Super Bowl. And then the first game the very next year was against the Pats.... and the Pats crushed the Steelers again.
I wouldn't have such high hopes, especially with a rookie QB who wasn't playing very well the last 4 weeks. Belicheck feasts on those types of players. You think he makes Manning look bad?

I don't recall the Steelers ever saying they were the better team, especially for a whole entire year. And I don't remember the Patriots "humiliating" the Steelers either. The Patriots won the game you are refferring to by a field goal. And even at that, the first attempt by Vinaterri missed, but they got a second attempt after a Steeler fell into Vinaterri after the kick was off.
Quoting Cowher "We don't have any rookies anymore". Roethlisberger has done unbelievably well in his first pro season. He definitely doesn't play the game like a rookie. Even at that, a team shouldn't have to rely entirely on their quarterback. Somethign that the Colts and Manning can't seem not to do.

Are you kidding? They said it so many times it was sickening. It was all over the national news about how the Steelers were making Super Bowl plans before the Pats game - it was embarrasing. And you have selective memory - remember the opening game the next season when the Steelers played the Pats in Foxboro? The Pats threw 25 straight passes to open the game - it was a blowout until the end - after the Pats pulled some of their starters and the Steelers scored a garbage TD. And the very next week, the team that played the Steelers (can't remember who) copied the Pats - they threw something like 20 straight passes to open the game and beat them again.
Go back and look at the tapes - it wasn't pretty.

Must have been that New England media... 🙄
Selective memory? You specifically said that the Patriots "humiliated" the Steelers in the AFC Championship game. The word "humiliated" never was brought up when you mentioned the first game of the 2003 season. I don't see how a loss by 3 points is humiliating, especially when the winning team initially missed the fieldgoal.
Anyway, you do realize that 3 years have passed since then, right? You need to realize that even 1 year can bring a potentially "new" team to the playing field. This is 2005. We'll see how your Patriots do. Until then...

Let's go over this again. They were humiliated twice - in the AFC championship game (Manning with 4 picks and a 35 QB rating), Harrison fumbling because he got hit hard (here we go again - and Indy player wilting under the pressure of a big hit), and manning constantly walking off the field with his arms up in the air as if to say "why me?"
And the second humiliating was when the Steelers palyed the opening game of the 2003 season in Foxborough on Monday night. Remember all offseason how the Steelers complained that the Pats didn't deserve to beat them, and that the Pats didn't deserve to win the Super Bowl? And for weeks the Steelers kept saying how they're gonna go to Foxboro and beat the Pats to prove they were the better team? Rem...

Correction - my last post shouldn't have said the Colts were humiliated twice - it was once by the Colts and once by the Steelers.
Although the Steelers got spanked twice by the Pats, no getting around that one.

The Steelers picked up garbage at the end of both games. And remember, Flowers cheap-shotted Brady and put him out of the game. The Steelers couldn't beat the Pats in Pittsburg without Brady...think about that. No wonder the Steelers couldn't live with themselves after losing.
And the second game was worse - they lost by 14 only because they scored a garbage touchdown after the Pats pulled some starters.
...
By the way, most of us here know that the Steelers don't have the reputation to do such a thing as make Super Bowl plans in advance.
Quoting Cowher again: "The important thing to do is take everything one game at a time. We'll deal with what happens as it comes."
Now I'll admit that Steeler fans on the other hand do get a little excited when it comes to playoffs/Superbowl time.
I really don't know where you're getting this "national news" load.

The Pats/Steelers game will really be a tossup - two great defenses, and the game in Pittsburg. I think the Pats would win, but what a battle that will be.
Two intagibles fo to the Pats - Belicheck and Manning. Home crowd to the Steelers. Yikes.

You're right about that... Both teams will have to play their hearts out... Man that's gonna be a great game.

Have no idea what your talking about here at all. I have nothing blocked from memory. All of the teams in the playoffs right now are a threat...Colts murdered the broncos. The pats will be a good game. The steelers will be an even better game. Their defense is toughest in the league..but we have a faster defense. Sometimes that wins bowl games. So keep up the Colt bashing...I hope to come back on here and stuff it in your face. 😈

My apologies, it was Ruff who is the big steelers fan, and you're the Colts fan.
Manning will choke again. It's pretty much a given that the Colts are the biggest bunch of crybabies going - how else do you exlpain a rule change directly as a result of their crying last year after losing (again) to the Pats, which helped Manning break Marino's record? Without that rule change, he doesn't throw 49 TD's.
Their gonna need a fast defense this week. Fast doesn't mean diddly unless you have enough of them. Freeney is the only one with speed.
Any bets on what they'll cry about this year after losing again? Too many loud people? Grass is not green enough? People look at them funny? Footballs not at the right temperature? Goalposts...

Nope, I'm not OK with it for any team - you're missing the point. This is football, not knitting class. What's next - no trash talking because it might bruise the Colts' egos?
Did you see the Seahawks game Saturday? There were at least ridiculous calls because of that new rule, and it changed the outcome of the game - even the commentators were going nuts about it. All because the Colts couldn't stand losing to the Pats last year. They're a digrace.

You know, the Colts have always been about playing the game fairly or "by the book". Others may interpret that as us being "crybabies" or "whiners", I interpret that as being fair and respectable. That is who Tony Dungy is. Yes, Peyton has been in the league for 8 years, but maybe he just needed the right teammates and leader to achieve this record. He has said himself that it is more of a "team accomplishment" than it is an individual one. How's that for weak?
Then how is it that only the Colts cried last year? Tennesee and Carolina didn't cry after losing to the Pats, did they? Pretty sad when you have to lobby the league for a rule change knowing that's the only way you have a shot at winning it all.

Peyton is one of the best QB's I have seen in a long time... Despite what is said he has an accuracy and speed that is as explosive as it is graceful... Peyton Manning earned the right of 49-TD's...

I disagree on the rule change though - it's widely recognized that the Colts were the initiators and prime drivers, and some other teams glommed on once it was out there. Football has been played the same for years until the Colts squealed like stuck pigs.
Did you see the episode of Inside the NFL when they asked marino if Manning would have broken the record without the rule change? A picture is worth a thousand words, and sometimes what you don't say tells you more than anything.

No doubt Manning is great, I just have a problem with this rule change. The Seahawks game was a joke with the penalties they were calling, all as a result of this rule.

The NFL is always changing, New rules are being created, and every year there's a controversy... it's really what to expect.Well, they changed a rule that had kept the league more competitive for quite some time. It definitely benefited teams that have heavy pass attacks.
...
As much as I agree the NFL has been releasing some off the wall rules lately... It's noreason to discredit an accomplishment...Sorry speck, but Manning's achievement is a direct result of the league changing a rule that had been in effect for years.
Peyton is one of the best QB's I have seen in a long time... Despite what is said he has an accuracy and speed that is as explosive as it is graceful... Peyton Manning earned the right of 49-TD's...

Very good, bring it on. Remember, we've got two recent Super Bowls. We don't choke. We don't cry to the refs (like Dungy does before every game to make sure they enforce the new rule - and that's a fact, by the way). We don't bitch to the league when we lose. We're all about class. And winning.

If the score doesn't convince you Indy was demolished, then look at a couple of key stats: Indy averaged 32.3 points a game during the regular season (and scored 45 against Denver), but somehow they managed to score only 3 points against possibly the best defense in the NFL. Stat number 2: Manning threw 49 touchdowns during the regular season, and against the Pats he threw 0. That's zilch. Nada. Nothing. Choke! The Pats are the equivalent of the Florida Gators. There are some teams that Manning just can't find his way around.

You're correct, the Steelers do have the best defense. But the Patriots are 2nd in the league (behind Pittsburgh) in points allowed, and Belicheck can nuetralize any offense. Which leads to Big Ben - if Manning couldn't figure him out, I'm not sure Rothlesberger can either. Remember, he looked bad against the Jets, and he didn't look good the last few games during the season.
Pittsburg MUST go up early to win; you can't expect Rothlesberger to come from behind on the Pats.

Sorry, but the "h" is a big deal to us Pittsburghers.
I agree that its not going to be an easy game...for either team. BUT we all know that offense sells tickets (except in Pittsburgh, anything and everything sells tickets) and defense wins the game. Looking back to that Halloween game it looks as if the Pats had a hard time against the Steeler defense. Harder of a time than the Steelers had against the Pats defense. So I think its going to break down to the battle of the defenses.

I'll go out on a limb here that will surely generate debate. While your point makes sense, it's only human nature for the refs to be more sensitive to the new rule during games involving the Colts - they were the ones who cried for it. I do think it benefited them more than any other team.

You sound like the Steelers in 2002...remember how they were making plans for the Super Bowl before they played the Pats? And what's worse, after the Steelers were humiliated by the Pats, for a whole year they kept saying they were still the better team, and that the wrong team went to the Super Bowl. And then the first game the very next year was against the Pats.... and the Pats crushed the Steelers again.
I wouldn't have such high hopes, especially with a rookie QB who wasn't playing very well the last 4 weeks. Belicheck feasts on those types of players. You think he makes Manning look bad?

Anyone care to see how much Manning and the rest of the wussie boys from Indy cry after losing to NE again this year? What new rule can they convince the league to pass this year? Maybe no saying mean things to the other team? Or maybe no tackling any Colt player so they don't get an ouchie?
...
Exactly my point - there should be a big ol' asteric next to Manning's 49 TD record that says "got it because we cried hard enough to change the rules so my receivers wouldn't get ouchies if hit by the other team".

P.S. I'd also love to point out that he also choked in all four games he played my beloved Gators.

I think he'll play well, especially with Law, Poole, and possibly Seymour out. That really hurts the Pats. But I still think he'll lose.

And my point is that football has been played that way since the game began. Why all of a sudden does one team have to cry about it just because they lost (again) to the same team?

mk said:It's an example of the NFL pandering to star players. The league gets better ratings when teams run up the score. It certainly takes some integrity away from the game.

Whoa... that was an amazing game. Peyton lit the Broncs up like... they were a high school squad. Unbelievable. 😳
Probably going to have to be the Steelers. The Pats secondary is pretty banged up right now.
Then again, Belichick is a defensive genius. But I don't know that the Pats have ever faced an offense that was clicking this well with the patchwork secondary they have now.

But unfortunatley for Manning, his record says he chokes in cold weather in the playoffs. You are what you are. A playoff record of 4-5 isn't exactly inspirng.

Actually alot of quarterbacks "choke" in cold weather...Cold weather affects all players...not just manning. Have you ever been affected by cold weather..it happened to me once... 😳
...
Then how do you explain Brady at 6-0 in the playoffs, in snowstorms, in -14 degree weather (last year against the Titans), in the slop, etc? Good quarterbacks find ways to win in the playoffs. Manning is 4-5; your argument is very weak.
