well its been like 3 days since the superbowl and I've been completely hammered since that date... I can't believe that this thread hasn't been started yet but HELL YEA!!! This team is great... yea we didn't play well in the first half, but we killed it in the second.... And where else in this country could you have a parade where 250,000 people attend! Everyone said we couldn't do it... everyone said our team wasn't strong enough... and we proved everyone wrong... And maybe, just maybe, the guys at cbs will show us some love next year. (I swear every game their like, steelers will lose!) It's been absolutely insane around here and i love it, the team the city everything! GO STEELERS!

Cause nobody cares. Good job, ur team played like shit and won a horrible game. At least people in pitt can be happy bout the superbowl cause I dont think anyone else is.

thfc1799 · 02-09-2006, 11:03 AM

honestly... they did play bad... but the fact is they beat all the odds... they beat the best teams in the NFL while being told they werent gonna do shit... they played the top 3 seeds away from home... and they did it with a rookie as a QB and a senior citizen for a running back. They deserved it, and while they didn't play well in the superbowl, they still played better than seattle (at least in the second half) So yeah I'm proud of the team, and I know the rest of the city is, and if the rest of the country wants to be pissy because they don't think the superbowl was a good game, I could care less because right now in pittsburgh, It's one for the thumb baby, and there's only two other teams that can say that!

....PITTSBURGH STEELER TIME....

p.s. The white house is being repainted black and gold.... rooney recieved a phone call today from none other than George W. Bush. Rooney was congratulated on the win, and after a few other compliments, Rooney and the rest of the steelers were invited to the white house, rooney accepted and the date has yet to be determined!

its not Pittsburgh's fault the refs sucked (even Steeler fans wont disagree). i really dont know who would of won if the game was called fairly but it would of been a lot closer then it was.

under my definition...

I never really understood how people were saying that he's not... he may not play like one... but that doesn't meen he's not a rookie... rookie simply means "new" and he's new to the league. But because most people that are new to the league make mistakes, people associate the word rookie with silly mistakes. Yes he plays like a veteran, but hes only been around for two seasons now... if some new rider entered the moto gp and was better than rossi he'd still be considered a rookie... just a really good one!

Ummm, ok. I guess what ever floats your boat.

I got this off of a post on ESPN.com and thought that this was pretty good. Like people said you can't blame pittsburgh for the way the refs were, I am just happy we came out with the win. Neither team played good.

Quote:

Here’s the skinny on SBXL:

The Refs didn't give up the longest run in SB history...Seattle's defense did.

The Refs didn't bite on a 43 yd trick play, Randle to Ward for a TD...Seattle's defense did.

The Refs didn't allow Ben to scramble around on a 3rd and 28 and complete a long pass to the 2 yd. line...Seattle's defense did.

The Refs didn't miss two field goals, that was Seattle.

The Refs didn't fail to step out of bounds late in the 1st half to stop the clock in Pitt territory in a crunch time situation...Seattle's offense did.

The Refs didn't let the 1st half clock tick down from 48 seconds all the way down to 13 seconds before finally running their next play at Pitt's 36 yd line...Seattle's offense did.

And on this play, 3rd down, 53 yds away from a FG, it wasn't the Refs who tried and failed to go deep for a TD rather than a safer 5-7 yd play and timeout setting up a much easier FG attempt....that, again, would be Seattle's offense.

The Refs didn't get confused by Pitt's zone defense and throw an INT...that would be Seattle's QB.

The Refs didn't let a little physical contact intimidate them from catching 4 very catchable passes...that would be the Seattle TE Jeremy Stevens.

With approx. 20 seconds left in the game, knowing they need a TD and FG, in no particular order, and in easy FG range on 4th down, it wasn't the Refs who ignored the FG and elected to throw up a prayer trying for a TD...that AGAIN would be Seattle.
Part 2

And Seattle if you're still salty and still reaching for excuses...

The Refs didn't constantly punt deep into the end zone, repeatedly giving Pitt the ball at the 20 yd line...that of course was Seattle.

It wasn't the Refs who received a Christmas gift wrapped easy INT lobbed in perfect position to return deep into Pitt territory...the lucky beneficiary of that break would be Seattle.

It wasn't the Refs who got a break when a Steeler DB dropped an easy int early in the game...that too would be a break for Seattle.

It wasn't the Refs who caught a break when a Steeler WR dropped a very catchable TD pass...that break again would go to Seattle.

It wasn't the scapegoat Refs that received a break when a WR caught the ball, turned, stepped, was hit hard enough to cause a fumble, and then ruled INCOMPLETE...that would be of course, another chance for Seattle.
(this was an interesting call considering that after Troy's famous overruled Int, the NFL stated that it WAS a catch. If so, than this definitely WAS a catch)

It wasn't the Refs who got a break when Pitt QB Big Ben was blocked in the back as he pursued the DB who he'd tossed an int to...that again would go to Seattle.

It wasn't the Refs who stopped Seattle RB Alexander in a few key situations. That would be the Pittsburgh Steelers.

It wasn't the Refs who converted many of their 3rd downs yet stopped their opponent on 3rd down often...that would be the Pittsburgh Steelers.
