Super Steelers

[johnnyawe]

How bout dem Stillers?!

[HeavyP]

Absolutely Amazing! Except I had Donovan on my fantasy team so I was kinda irritated.

[a500lbgorilla]

Yes, yes. All Steeler praise can go through me and I'll send 'em on to the boys.

Ohhhh yaaaaaah (Kool-Aid style.)

The best part is: The only legitimate team we have to play for the rest of the season are the Giants (And maybe make a case for Baltimore though it would be tough (And absolutely no case for the Browns(Becuase they suck(Alot))))

-'rilla

Wonder where elanto disappeared off to after the game? Probably some small room to sit and cry in.

[a500lbgorilla]

We have a bet with relation to our two teams. Whoever makes it deeper into the playoffs, the loser has to make his avatar that of the other team. So he's off looking for a good picture of a steelers helmet.

Don't get me wrong, the Steelers are a great team (you have to be to beat the Eagles and the Patriots back to back), but I think they will get knocked outta the playoffs early. If I'm wrong, and they make it pretty far, there's no way they will beat New England at New England. No.way.in.hell.

[a500lbgorilla]

Wanna bet on that?

-'rilla

[kling]

Sure. What are the stakes?

How about this? I'm a Giants fan, but instead of changing your avatar for a week or however long, you change your forum name to NYG'rilla for a week or something along those lines.

[a500lbgorilla]

My name eh? I like it! Your name, of course, would need to be changed to Rillathylord or something along those lines.

Go Steelers!

Alright what exactly are we betting? That if they face each other yadda yadda or that the Steelers will make it past the first or second round of the playoffs? It's your call, cuz they're goin all the way!!

-'rilla

[kling]

How about they won't make it to the AFC Championship game? I think they'll make the playoffs for sure, and that they'll probably get a bye. But I don't think they'll win the game to get to the AFC title game.

My entire life savings that the Chiefs will win it all.

OK, I love the Chiefs, but maybe it's time to accept defeat this year. They would have to play perfect the rest of the season to have a shot.

[a500lbgorilla]

If you could put together a defense that can hold opponents to under 35 freaking points you'd win every game!

Defense builds championships. How's their schedule look for the rest of the season?

[Radashack]

Steelers are choke artists , "We have a great team!" Choke! "We lost... " I don't have much room to talk considering my team is absolutly horrid Go Bears!

[a500lbgorilla]

Choke artists?

*sigh* I don't have time for you. I'm busy enjoying a championship season.

-'rilla

[Radashack]

lol they are a great team this year, but they have to keep it together.

[a500lbgorilla]

@Cleveland, @Cincinnati, Washington, Jacksonville, Jets, @Giants, Baltimore, @Buffalo.

All these teams are hovering around .500 and they all get to lose to the Steelers. Unless there are some freak injuries (to everyone) or the Steelers lose focus, they will end the season 15-1 (Should be 16-0, gah-dahm Ravens!). Then its 2 *easy* victories and we're in the bowl.

Cleveland= win
Cincinati=win
Washington= win
Jacksonville= win (Although if Leftwhich was playing I think it'd be closer.)
Jets=??? (Depends on wether it's Pennington or not?)
Giants= win (It's right about time for the wheels to fall of Big Blue.)
Baltimore= Loss (I think the Ravens Defense will hold up.)
Buffalo= ??? (Buffalo is one of those teams that are better than thier record refelcts.)

As for the Championships? I have a feeling it's going to be New England vs. Indy.

Just my .02 cents.

[a500lbgorilla]

Jets: even is Pennington, he's going to be very exposed to our blitz game. It'll tear him apart.

Baltimore: The Steelers are going to prepare most for this game out of them all becuase Baltimore is not *allowed* to win the regular season series. It's going to be Steeler football, brutal and simple.

Buffalo: I havent really been paying attention. They might win on the merit of it being the last week and we've probably already got the AFC North title and probably the AFC title wrapped up. We might let this one by...

Inndy doesn't have the defense to make it to the championship. Patriots v Steelers.

Won't have to.

[a500lbgorilla]

So, you're predicting Steelers vrs Indy or Patriots at Steelers?

-'rilla

[kling]

Rilla, how about a side bet?

Along with out current one, seeing that I'm a Giants fan and your a Steelers fan, how about we put a wager on that game? What do you say?

[a500lbgorilla]

I'd love to but I'm fresh out of ideas... anyone?

[michael1123]

I'm still praying the Lions will find a way it to the playoffs, but it looks like a long shot now. They have a great start to get off to 4-2 and then we lose games they easily could've won to the Cowboys and the Redskins ... geez. Now it looks really bad with the next 3 games being against the Jaguars, the Vikings, and the Colts on Thanksgiving.

But ... if Roy Williams and Charles Rogers can miraculously stay healthy next year, we gotta make the playoffs then, right?! Our passing game would then look like the Colts' when compared to the Lions passing game this year when Williams isn't 100%, and that should also open up some room to finally have a real running game, for the first time since Barry left, and then they could really make some noise!

Well ... that's the plan, anyway. Knowing the Lions its still extremely unprobable. 8-8, winning and losing every other game, is the safe pick.

[elanto]

I cant believe it, i browse FTR about 4 hours or so every day and i missed this post, I feel srry for rilla cause he will have to change that gorilla avatar for a nice pats helmet, for a whole year, the patriots are invincible at home, and nothing is going to change that, I hope it comes down to Pats vs. Steelers in the AFC Championship, just so things are more interesting..

Btw rilla, I already found a nice pic for your avatar

I don't think the bet was that you hange the avatar to the other NFL team. I think it was that the other person chooses your avatar.

I've got a few suggestions for elanto...

For example

{Edit-addition}

Whoever makes it deeper into the playoffs, the loser has to make his avatar that of the other team.

Dammit! I can't use my sexy man avatar!

[a500lbgorilla]

I'll allow it!

I almost want to lose!

On a side note: Why am I not suprised that Hump stumbled across that pic?

yeah hump, what you looking at those pics..weird, i guess its true what they say about you and fishstick

[lolzzz_321]

Ya, Chiefs all the Way! ... Maybe next year when they get new players to play defense rather than just a new coordinator. I think 2/3 of their linebackers are white too... Trent Green is about as mobile as a rock too...

gotta miss the gauntlet today cuz of the game..

You guys are all forgetting the awesome Chicago Bears!!!!

dont think we won't kick your butt if we have a chance

Watch our 3rd string quarterback suck it up to only win it in OT with a Safety.

It doesnt matter how bad we look, somehow, we manage to make the other team look worse.....

[kling]

I gotta give the Bears credit, but come on... how can a team be so bad for so long. I understand that they went 13-3 (fluke) like 4 years ago, but no one really thought they would compete. Jim Miller was their starting QB. In my opinion, Rex Grossman is not the answer to their problems.

The bears have had their problems on multiple levels.
Our first problem has been our head coaching. We had the miserable Dave Wanedstat for many years then we got Dick Jauron. I didn't mind Jauron, the players were the problem for the most part he wasnt. Now we have Lovie Smith, I am not ready to make my decision on him yet, but if he wins he gets my vote.

During our 13-3 season we could have easily been 15-1 or 10-5. Notice, one of the games we lost of the three was the first game of the year against the defending Super Bowl Champ Rams (which we played pretty well). The other two games we lost to the Packers, we can't beat the packers if we our lives depended on it (although we did once this year, we'll see if that holds up in a couple of weeks).

Jim Miller was our starting quarterback, but to really understand it you have to go back even farther. It was either Wandstat's last year or Jauron's first year but we drafted the awesome #8 Cade Mcknown, which blew half our season b/c he sucked ass. Then we got the always injured Chris Chandler, which, at one time he was good but he's too old now. Well, after about his third concussion they decided to put the Third String quarter back in, i.e. Jim Miller. This unknown quarterback took us to the playoffs. What he also did was take steroids, which got him suspended a number of games in the middle of the next season. Combine that with a massive amount of injuries (most in the league that year) we had two dismal seasons.

Last year we decided that good 'ole Kordel Stewart would answer our Quarterback fears; wrong. Stewart sucked ass more than Chandler did and once we were disqualified from the playoffs, they decided to put Grossman in. He won his first 2 of 3 games last year, which to bears fans, is friggin awesome.

This year as a second year quarterback Grossman RAN our offense. He was our offense; as you can see without him our offense can't do shit. He also plays with heart. He injured himself scoring a touchdown against the Vikings. We were coming back into that game and we had a chance to win it and if the 2nd string didn't suck so much ass and gone 0-4 in passing we might have. Grossman is the future of this team.

You can overlook our offense because we do have a 3rd string quarterback. Somehow he's won his first 3 games as a starter, and only because our defense has saved our ass. In my opinion our defense is one of the best in the league. In all our 5 losses our average points we lost by is less than 7. If it were up to me we would play defense for 60 mins of the game and screw offense. Give them the ball at the 10 yard line and force them to beat us.

We also have the youngest team in the league for the 2nd straight year. We get grossman back (will have to be next year) watch out because right now we are winning games without an offense or a quarterback, wait until we get both.

We are the spoilers of the NFC. We play the mighty Colts next week at home (mind you they scored 7 touchdowns yesterday). It will be a huge test for us. We've beaten Greenbay, and Minnesota was very lucky we didn't beat them. We are only 1 game out of first place in the central division with 3 games left to be played against division rivals. All wins we get are presents because to tell you the truth I dont expect to win but we do anyway.

Sorry for the long post, but this is the mind of a bears fan.

[elanto]

Hey guys, lets all forget the steelers for a minute and focus on how good the patriots are, there running game was perfect yesterday. Dillon got over 100 yards after contact!! I mean, top that Jerome!!!! lol

Real Madrid pfft, they are a bunch of overpaid wasters, look at the Sevilla game, totally useless. Figo, Ronaldo, Beckham all crap. Owen was the only one trying and they pull him off (to the derision of the crowd).

And Chelsea? Talk about trying to buy success. Where do you think it will leave Chelski when Mr Abramovich tries to leave and you have a squad of 40+ first teamers on massive wages?

Go Liverpool

Get outta this thread unless you are honoring the Steelers superbowl run!

Hey, I'm a man of my word.

The Giants did play them pretty well, though.
And I must admit, the Steelers are lookin' real good. I think they may pull off a SuperBowl trip, but we'll see.

[a500lbgorilla]

Hahah, I didn't realize I've made so many bets about the Steelers season.

My neighbor from the dorm is also a huge giants fan and now has to declare that "Steelers are my savoirs! Giants raped and killed my mother!" whenever I ask him how the Steelers or Giants are lookin this year.

Life is sweet.

[elanto]

As a real madrid fan its hard for me to accept that what u said is true, im sort of happy for the outcome of this year b/c at the end of this season massive changes are going to take place on that club, which is something that has been long overdue. I dont like Florentino, its because of his fault that the club is suffering, hes a damm racist, thats why he didnt get Eto'o and thats why he let go of Makelele...

The wheels on the bus are coming off, coming off, coming off.

The wheels on the bus are coming off. Because they can't beat the Pats.

If you wanna be the man. You gotta beat the man when it counts. How do you spell Roethlisbeger? R-O-O-K-I-E!

All this talk of an all Pa. Super Bowl was offensive. Never, ever write off the Pats in the post season when Belicheck is at the helm.

[a500lbgorilla]

*yawn* Pats, schmats. Roethlisberger lost us the game. He just didn't make good decisions.

Anyone could have beaten us... even the Jets.

Now that's not right. Elanto won fair and square. Restore the avatar to its original state.

Altering the avatar in any way is not in the spirit in which the bet was made. I know you wouldn't allow him to do it. You're better than that rilla'. Take it like an APE!

[a500lbgorilla]

But you can barely read them!

Would there be such a hubba-loo if it said "Brady is a fun guy to be around?"

No!

So the red lettering isn't a problem.

Defacing of any Patriots logos not permitted. Oh the shame I feel for you rilla'.

What you're doing to the logo can be considered welching on the bet. Any anti Pats person would sport that avatar.

But he does hate the Pats and for that very reason he's admittedly welching you out of your victory. The point is to own up to his debt, and display the avatar of the better team. In all its glory.

Come on Rilla'. Cowboy up. And be a good role model for all the rest of your simian bretheran. The better team won. Point blank. If it were on the other foot. We'd be talking about how amazing Roethlisberger is. Now he's the scapegoat? I believe it was the vaunted Steelers defense that gave up all but 7 of the Pats 41 points.

[FyrFytr998]

Good ape, rilla. GOOD APE. You now have my respect again.
