Come on, Steelers. Make this respectable.

Cowher doesn't have a gameplan. He never does. He throws shit at the wall and hopes it sticks.

Falafel!

Gotta be Hack.

The reason they scored 31 of their 34 points in two quarters was because they had such a huge lead. I don't think having a huge lead would be too much of a problem for them.

The Pats scored most of their points in garbage time.

Is getting rid of a tyrant tyranny?

GO TAKE YOUR BALL AND GO HOME

I froze when I read what Mascot just wrote.

Luckily, everyone in the media is picking against the Steelers. The upset is brewing...

The city of Philadelphia is not likely to blame it solely on McNabb, though. That's the point I've been trying to make. Pittsburgh has a habit of blaming losses solely on their quarterbacks, and Ben is no exception. Good thread, by the way.

The Pittsburgh media hasn't been going after him, per se, but they've been positioning themselves to do so. There have been lots of stories about "redemption" and the glove, and "he was terrible, but he gets another chance to prove himself as not-a-choker" type stuff. They will turn on him if he doesn't win this one.

Out of curiosity, haven't the Philly media been going after Reid this week? I know for damned sure that the Trib and Post Gazette have been all over Roethlisberger this week.

Not necessarily true. After 2002, which was his first year, the rumblings began right after they lost to a much better Titans team in the divisional round.

Stop making excuses for the kid. He has no thumb injury. Regardless of whether he's the "focal point" of the offense or not, regardless of whether it would be "stupid" for Steeler fans to jump on Ben if they lose to the 15 time omg dynasty champions, they will. There is a strong feeling throughout the Steel city that this team could have been competing for the Super Bowl for the last five years, and quarterback play has been holding them back. Look what happened this year! The team started off mediocre, was expected to be mediocre, and they put in that hot 1st round pick. Hey, why not rattle off 15 wins in a row while you're at it? Ben Roethlisberger is the savior of the Pittsburgh Steelers, but if they don't make it to the Super Bowl, he will be seen as a failure. Don't understand the logic? Neither do I. But that doesn't make it any less fact. Pittsburgh will crucify the guy if they don't at least lose in fashion.

He's also the quarterback of a 15-1 team where everything else is in place. If McNabb loses, they can easily blame it on the TO injury. If the Steelers lose, mark my words, it will solely be because of Ben Roethlisberger.

You're insane or you don't understand the city of Pittsburgh if you think that. Ben Roethlisberger will be labelled as a bust by the city if they don't win the Super Bowl. Mark my words. Shit, there was a fucking stampede of people jumping off his bandwagon last week when he almost lost.

I picked him, because he's under tremendous pressure as the "savior of Pittsburgh" and you people don't realize that Pittsburgh is as hard on their quarterbacks as NY is on their head coaches.

Purely a ratings driven decision, knowing that people would rather watch quirky individuals than not.

Bye Danny! At least he'll go down as the most memorable first casualty in reality show history.

Actually, I bet it's closer than it should be since Networth blew so much money on promotions.

He's gonna be the first one canned.

Slightly more than the Republicans do, which is still barely at all. It was just absolutely fucking hilarious that he says "This is a great thing! We're making money, we're disposing of our own waste, which is an okay thing. We're keeping nuclear materials from terrorists..." *ten lines later* "Hrm, I wonder if it's okay for the environment."

If she doesn't, I will. Danny is fucking annoying me a lot, for some reason.
