So, who do you predict is going to be this year's super bowl winner? I'm personally routing for the Steelers myself...I think it is finally their time! :D:D:D

At least the Bills lost 4 times in a row in the actual [u]Superbowl</u>. The Eagles should aspire to be as destitute as the Bills...
Sorry, folks, but until someone beats the Pats in the playoffs there is only one favorite ([8D]). And Steelers fans, you've got another "think" coming if you think that your victory over us early in the season will translate to a playoff victory. I'd put my money on the Pats in a rematch, whether it is played in Ketchup Field or The Razor.
Personally, I am more worried about beating the Colts than any other team in the playoffs. I mean, Manning has to beat us eventually, doesn't he??? (Although I still don't think it will happen this year. Sorry, brim! :D)
OK. Everyone back to work. I'm done trash talking. [:p]

When have you last seen the Steelers THIS HOT! It is most definitely their time.....and we are going to see some GREAT playoff games!
Can anyone possibly post here the latest stats of whose in the final running for each division?

When the Steelers rolled over the Ravens in their divisional playoff game, I still remember Crybaby Cowher running off the field waving two fingers (two wins to go). The Steelers were hosting the AFC Championship game at Ketchup Field the next week.
Who was it that they were playing again? What happened the next week? Hmmm, I can't seem to remember. Maybe someone could remind us...

This is really my first time to enjoy football again since I'd been overseas and never could get any of the games. Guess that's why I don't remember 2001. [:I]

Yes Pats Fan, and you thought you were going to win on Halloween too, what happened again, hmm let me think... :o)
Just keep up the not worrying about the Steelers, that's how we like it.
Keep in mind the Steelers have a rookie QB with no playoff experience, no matter how good he's looked up until this point...it's been the D that's kept them in games. Sure, they've beaten the Eagles and Patriots, but the most of the rest of thier wins have been against the Lions, Bengals, Browns, Dolphins, Texans, Raiders, and Panthers...not exactly powerhouses and all with losing records, and most of those games were very close low scoring games. It'll be a different story when they get to the playoffs.
edit: I forgot the Redskins. :) The other four teams they've beaten (Eagles, Pats, Jags, Jets) have winning records.

Isn't that just like the redskins, and the caps.... Can beat the big boys but have problems with the weaker teams... ugh!
How about those Steelers...winning by only 3 against the powerhouse 5-9 Giants, led by a shaky rookie QB who hangs 30 on your defense. It's not looking good, steeler fans.

And what about them Bills - probably the hottest team ever not to make it to the playoffs.
I have been a Bills fan ever since I got into football, and those four superbowls are very painful memories. After the QB debacle and the playoff win of the stinking cheating Titans I thought the Bills were gone for good ... but they are back with a vengeance this year. Just a little too late, but next year will be our year.

Nobody said they would win, everyone predicted bottom of the NFL. They said they were a doormat, yet here we are. We've won our division, we've beaten teams we should not have beaten. We have been solid in all facets of the game moreso than any other team. The "Super Chargers" will reign supreme come superbowl time, just you wait and see....:D
DwArFlOrD
If the Colts somehow falter, I'm rooting for the Chargers too. San Diego has a miserable sports history so it'd be nice to see them win something...plus I'm a big LT fan. He's a nice, selfless guy who's carried the weight of the team up until this year.

12-20-2004, 12:23 PM
They won...that's what counts in the end! :D
And I think the QB is pretty awesome myself...correct me if I am wrong, but isn't he ranked number one in the NFL?
Watch out...Blitzburg is back and I think they will have home field advantage to boot!

But if you look at his stats over the last half of the season he is ranked significantly lower.

It's the regular season...and the teams they're beating (and not by much) are mostly horrible, losing teams. It will be a different story when they get to the playoffs and the teams they'll be playing are much stiffer competition.

Hey brim, blah, blah blah, keep talking. At least the Stellers have a team and don'r rely soley on their QB...

Aren't the Stellars in the CFL? :)
No talk, just facts. Speaking of facts, I guess you missed that Edgerrin James is the second leading rusher in the league. Also, Dwight Freeney is leading the leauge in sacks and Robert Mathis is fifth. Not to mention a stellar corp of receivers, three of which are in the top 20. Sure, Manning is a key element, but you have to have people that are able to catch the ball to make him that successful.
Sure Pit has the top total defense in the leauge (yds allowed), but that's easy to accomplish when you're playing hack teams. There really is no argument here...they're beating poor teams and Ben is untested in the playoffs. At least they have to play Baltimore again...that'll be a good test for them before the playoffs.
If you're gonna root for a team, you need to admit the shortcomings as well as the good stuff. And I'll be the first to admit the Colts D is horrible, but they do have some outstanding individual players on that squad (see above). Some would argue that you don't need a D when you can score 40 points a game. :)

Maybe I missed something, but I thought we are still in the same position as before last night -- #2 seed in the AFC (and that is where we will stay, IMO). We certainly didn't get passed by the Colts (Playoffs??? We're talking about playoffs? Playoffs!?!?)

Philly fans, so sorry to hear about Terrell Owen's injury. Hopefully he'll bounce back quickly after surgery.
I didn't make it through all of the game last night - how the heck did Miami win?!?! Ack!
Regular season or not, and regardless if anything chnages seeding-wise, it's still an embarassment.

Sorry to disappoint you, but my face isn't red right now. I'm actually a little bit relieved by the loss. We've been on cruise control all season, and except for the loss to Pitt hadn't really been challenged in months. I think this will settle us down and you'll see a more determined team for the rest of the season and into the playoffs (bad for you guys).
And maybe it's an embarrassment coming from the perspective of a fan whose team lives and dies by the regular season (case in point: Colts fans booing Manning for taking a knee to close out a good victory against the Ravens), but I can tell you for sure that this means nothing in the grand scheme of winning Superbowls.

Don't all teams live and die by the regular season? Isn't that the very definition of any sport with a playoff system? You do well in the regular season, you live by making it to the playoffs...do poorly, you die when the regular season is over.

I think it's pretty obvious the Skins won the second half of the season. They are on a roll, too bad this season started earlier than they were ready! Next year babe!! Undefeated in 05!!

I am a Skins fan and usually stay within the conference but I cannot this year. The Eagles were tolerable until they signed Terrible Owens and his "me first" ego. Give me the "true team" with the unselfish players every time. The Pats certainly fit the bill IMO.

Eh, they suck in Gillette in the cold...what can I say, the Pats have their number. Manning still had one of the best seasons for a QB in history, he jsut can't get it done in the big game...this one wasn't that much his fault tho (dropped/stripped balls, good coverage). He didn't lob up a ton of picks like last year...
