That had to have been the best Football game I ever saw, There was like 6 inches of snow on the ground, And the raiders almost won, but they called the Pats QB's pass incomplete, instead of a fumble.


The Raiders game was in the first round. I remember it well, it was the only snowstorm we got that year. The AFC championship game was in Pitt that year, Pats were huge underdogs. During the week, it was put in the paper how all the Steelers players had already made reservations for the superbowl. Bill Cower blew it off and said it was no big deal, they were making it out like beating New England was just a formality. You try not to give your opponent locker room BB material, but the Steelers didn't seem to care. The Patriots were fired up, and it showed, returning a punt for TD and blocking a field goal and returning it for a TD(it was 24-7 after that and the Steelers were stunned). They came back with a few scores to make a game of it late, but the Pats picked off Stewart twice in the final minutes to win. I remember as the final seconds ticked off, one of the Patriots players saying to the crowd "cancel all those reservations!"

Believe me, this Steelers team is not like the Steelers team of that year.  They aren't overlooking any team in the NFL.   When they do meet, it will make for a good game.  The Steelers didn't expect to get this far this year.  Maddox was the starter, and not much was expected from Big Ben when he came into the game.

Whoever wins that game, they will deserve to win.

Da burgh is my home town. I lived next to a member of the usher's union in the '70s and '80's; we had it set up where we would hand a certain ticket taker a $20 instead of a ticket, watch a while from the railing, and go up to Dom's section, 200 level 30 yard line, around the middle of the second period for seats. I saw every home game from 1977 through 1986 that way, including playoffs (the tag for playoffs was $50). I moved away in '87. I met Swann (he's a really little guy), Hanratty and Bleier, Sam Davis, Franco Harris (he shopped in the same supermarket that I did, in Shadyside), Joe Gilliam (sad story there) and Steve Courson and Jack Lambert (they weren't especially nice people, the last two).

I was at Pitt when they were hot, and knew (was in classes with) Dan Marino, Ricky Trocano, and Bill Fralich. Yeah, they went to class. I lived next to  Ironhead Heyward for a while, he told me he was going to kill me (he didn't, though) when I asked him to turn his music down at 4AM.

Those were great times. This team is a lot more like those teams from the '70s, not in talent (you can't hold onto a dynasty like you used to) but in the "get things done" professional attitude. I don't think you'll see a Super Bowl rap video this year. This team wants it.

There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

Yeah yeah, Pats have been to an AFC championship in Pitt before, we did ok. If both teams make it that far, there are some good teams in the AFC.

Well we got th Win against Baltimore, Hope Big Ben is ok.

And thank to the Rams, the Steelers become the best team in the NFL.

What worries me, is that we are no 1 in rank, but were all ranked below No 1 in areas like Passing, offensive Yards, Points Fielded etc. Except for Defense.

Hope this doesnt cost us in the Postseason.

15 and 1. The Best Team in the NFL.

Great game Buffalo, I was really dissapointed in Maddox's performance, but at least he didnt cost us the game.

See ya in the Postseason!

The Steelers won with a bunch of backups...pretty impressive for a team that didn't have to win against a team that needed the win.

15-1. 14 in a row is ties Miami 1972.

This is in no way a cop out thread...


Although it was a dissapointing loss, The Steelers made something out of an unknown season with a Rookie Quarterback, undefeated until the AFC Title Game.

Although down by a significant number the Steelers managed to not suffer a huge blowout. Almost closing the Patriots. Of course, Almost only counts in Horse shoes and Hand Grenades and I'm severly dissapointed in the performance of the Pittsburgh Offense. Callin Predictable plays, and playing right into the hands of New England.

But when you look at the total outcome of the Pittsburgh Season, We will be contenders for at least the next couple seasons, even without Bettis if he retires.

I'm glad I can type this and say I'm proud of the Stillers, For turning something out of a shaky start to the 2004 season. Any other time I would blame and point fingers.

But I can't. If you cant see why, then your watching a different game than I am.

See ya next fall, and its been a great season.

Will
