Way too many Steelers fans here.

Pats will play better than any of you believe they can. Keep on discrediting them, calling them the least popular superbowl winner of all time. I really dont care about that. This team was dogshit for 40 years, and now they're about to become a dynasty.

May the best team win.

Its a Steeler Nation. :D

Who is dissing the Pats by the way? Most fans and most experts have picked them to win the game and you are saying they are being disrespected in some way? I will admit they were disrespected when they played the Colts, but a few smart people (myself included :D) picked the Pats to win that game.

Hopefully the best team is Pittsburgh on Sunday. :D And Pats fans really need to stop playing the "We get no respect" card. It is getting really old.
 
:lol :lol :lol

wow some of you are pathetic. You don't like the fact they are all about team? wtf ? I guess that's why some of you actually follow the fucking nba.

and dm in your infinate sports wisdom, name me a more succesful QB in NFL right now. 2 super bowl rings, 2 super bowl mvps and 2 pro bowls. Not to mention his winning percentage. I find it funny that for once a player is all about team and handles fame with class and some of you just can't handle it.

And there are plenty of pats fans. The pats players just don't promote themselves like most pro atheletes. And apparently, that bothers a lot of you.

you want me to name a more successful QUARTERBACK? if we are going just by that position, then i can name a few. peyton manning is, by the numbers, a more successful QB. he owns the all-time TD record and is on pace to break most of marinos records. tom brady didn't win either superbowl. i would have given MVP's to players besides him in both of their superbowl wins... possibly to vinatierri in the first SB. and dont bring up "peyton has no superbowls and brady does!" because by that logic trent dilfer > dan marino. tom brady is a product of his team, he cannot control a game on his own.

give me a fucking BREAK. what about ty law? what about tom brady on the cover of espn the magazine, sports talk weekly, etc doing interviews and so on? is that not self promotion? get off your patriots high horse. and why are you dissing the NBA? the detroit pistons, NBA champs, are a lot like the patriots in that they were "a team" first.

Had I said better qb then I certainly would agree with payton manning, but he is certainly not more successful. Success is determined in wins and losses, not numbers.

Of course every team plays as a team, but nobody puts the "team" first like the pats players do. Troy Brown playing DB, Seymour as a FB, Dom Davis(LB) playing Safety and the list goes on. I believe that they are more talented teams than the pats but the combination of putting the team first, and schemes of bb make it work.

Wow, brady is on the cover? Brady dosen't do anywhere near amount of promotions he could. Ty Law? I haven't seen shit on ty since he popped off about his contract then broke his ankle.

As for the NBA, it's a me-first league and I don't think much of it. Thankfully, the pistons broke up that shit storm of a pre-madonna laker team. Lebron is one player I respect because he is all about the team, but most nba players are all about getting theirs.

um, champ bailey has played WR for the broncos. d'angelo hall played WR for the falcons. julian peterson has played LB, DE, CB and safety for the niners because of injury. warren sapp has played FB and TE for the bucs/raiders. antwaan randel el has played QB for the steelers. should i go on? your "team" reasoning is a joke. everyone does that shit
 
I just remembered that Corey Dillon used to be a Bungle for the last 7 years. I think this will be a big factor in tommorrows game.

Never underestimate the losing power of a Bungle.

1-2 Fumbles, missing a key blitz pickup, and a dropped pass.

That is my crazy prediction that probably won't come true tommorrow, but one on which I can claim official football genius status if it does.

None of those teams have multiple players playing such huge roles like the pats and being successful like them.

anyway, i am off to bed - we will see who the better "team" is tommorow night.

you know it would be sad if Peyton manning ends up like Dan Marino....One of the greatest QBs to never get a Superbowl ring.

so let me get this straight:

1. they're a true team
2. pats fans jock them saying they are a true team because... individuals play multiple positions? isn't this going away from the whole "team" concept? why even mention that players are playing out of position if it isn't to say "WOW! troy brown is playing CB! what a special player!" "WHOOOOOOA! mike vrabel is playing te!? unbelieveable! WHAT A DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH!"


infact, why mention the players names at all? it's a team, who cares about individuals! i'm going to propose that from now on, all patriots players wear the exact same uni's, with black face masks hiding their face, and they all wear the number 00. and announcers will call the game as follows:

Announcer: Patriots QB back to pass... oh what a blitz pickup by Patriots FB #2! Patriots QB goes deep... CAUGHT BY PATRIOTS WR/DB! WHAT A PLAY CALL BY PATRIOTS OC! Patriots head coach has to be thrilled with that play!

Lets get off the Pats topic.

24 years later and "The Catch" is still far and away the greatest play of all time in football history imho. What are some plays that come close to it?

Some things that come to my mind are the Vinatieri kick in the snow, the Music City Miracle, and of course the Immaculate Reception.

LMFAO

this > potato soup

:lol :lol :lol
 
Pat: "Montana back to pass, hits rice in stride for a 48 yard gain."

<That fat pig tight end from the rams catches a bogus 7 yard out pass>
Paul: I talked to fat pig on friday and i asked him i said to him "Does marc bulger have a rocket arm and are you going to catch a 7 yard out pass?" and he looked at me and he smiled and he said "dont get your briches in a gander old chum" that is confidence. marc bulger has instilled the confidence that this team needs to be successful.

Joe: "Well Paul the Rams can't pass the ball, they have no offensive line, for gods sake their tight end has a cast on his thumb! Terrible idea to pass
<bulger to big gay torry holt touchdown moments after above comment>

Now the key to that play was great blocking by the offensive line and the FOCUS that marc bulger has. You want to talk about composure, I had lunch with marc bulger on saturday night, and when the waiter said soup or salad he didn't panick, he surveyed the menu, made his reads, and came BACK to the waiter and asked "what is the soup of the day?" to which the waiter replied "potato soup". Marc ended up going with the salad"

potato soup wins
 
I'm sorry, that was really good but nothing beats potato soup. When I first read that I nearly wet my pants.

As for tomorrow's games, well I'd love to see more pain inflicted upon Eagles fans, but I think their time has come. Eagles by 3.

As for the AFC, you couldn't pay me enough to tip against the Patriots. I'd love to see Pittsburgh there, but I'm not going against NE in a game like this. 7 will do.

Damn....if Pats win, we get Brady (I'm actually a fan of his the the media is making me sick of him) shoved down our throats even harder. On the other hand, if Pitt wins, the Roth hype machine will be even more unbearable. And don't even get me started on Vick.

The best QB of the four is being overlooked for two rinky-dinkers and a RB. Go Eagles!!!!!!!!!

You should be cheering the Pats Konex for two simple reasons. One, because the Steelers absolutely raped the Eagles in their last meeting and without TO it will only get worse. The Pats are you only hope. Two, you picking the Pats will ensure a Steelers Superbowl. :D
 
Matlock said:
Well, that seals it. Pats/Falcons Super Bowl.

Konex just confirmed it. :(
Click to expand...

You are wrong! Konex was just expressing his secret gay love for Brady which means a Steelers Superbowl!

Sorry for the Eagles fans though, Konex likes too many players on your team for them to ever have a chance again. Your only hope is to trade McNabb and Owens. Konex will follow them and your team will be free from his awesome powers.
 
Welp!

in about a hour im gonna...

break out the snackies and the liqour, turn off the computer and the cellphone, turn on the tv and enjoy.

Go Falcons and Go Steelers!

But the Pats were the first team to win by playing as a team!

Btw, if the Pats lose today and don't win a Superbowl for a few more years Belichick will become the next Shanahan. That genius label can vanish pretty quickly.
 
yeah, i could definitely see that. SB in two of three years, and then nothing for 3 more...people will start asking "what happened to belichick? has he lost it?" whether it's fair or not.
 
What are you people smoking that has you thinking the Eagles will lose to the fucking falcons? If this game was in Atlanta then I would say it would be a toss up, but seeing as this is in Philly and the tempurature is in the teens to minus with wind chill and the falcons are used to playing indoors the Falcons have no chance. Take the blinders, put down the hateraid or get off that shit, the Eagles are going to the SB and taking it all.

Possibly setting yourself up for some of the biggest ownage ever.....

I am happy the Eagles fans are not booing this little kid.
 
Funny how when people ask the eagles players why will this time be different they say because they've been there before and know what to expect and they know what they have to do to win.

Shut the hell and prove it, don't say it cause you've proven you know shit the last 3 years :D

Ugh, Vick takes a time-out in the first possession, 3rd & 7 into the wind. Not a good sign...

Wow that punt went nowhere.

Vick seems like he isn't even trying to throw, like it is just a ruse to set up his run. He will have to throw it a few times at least to keep the Eagles honest. This ain't the Rams.

Well they were going against the wind. I imagine they'll throw more in the 2nd and 4th quarters -- just as Philly will have more success throwing in the 1st and 3rd quarters, assuming the wind doesn't change directions or die down too much.

Maybe, but you never want to be down early on the road. You gotta keep the pressure on the home team. It was just one possession anyways, can't read too much from 3 plays.
 
And for the fourth straight year... :D Hehe, and with that, Westbrook rumbles down to the 20. Come on Falcons, this team is ripe for the picking. :lol PEACE.

Well, to be fair, he IS throwing into 40 MPH gusts. I think most QBs would look like bums going in the direction he's going in right now.

On the other hand, they seem to be able to move the ball by running so why should they throw it? Every throw has been a disaster so far, I would just keep running it until they can show they can stop it.
 
They are running well... unless Trotter gets his hands on whomever is running the ball. Disappointing if they have to settle for 3 after such a nice running drive.

Nice hurdle by Vick... nice stop by the Eagles D.... as I said... disappointing.

That wasn't a straight on hit like it initially looked like so folks shouldn't get too happy... but a nice solid leg wrap.
