Is that next weekend or the weekend after? I've stopped caring about pro football but I may have to hit up a bar for the super bowl.

It's the week after, first Sunday of February. It's something they just changed after 9/11 (it was pushed back obviously but for some reason they kept it afterwards), it used to be the last Sunday of January. Which sucks because my birthday is next week, so I'd be able to get fucked up for free and watch the superbowl. Fucking terrorists.

Too bad I have to work.

Gotta vote for the Steelers. Cower is just too cool for school. Should be a great game.

as true as it was when so many people said steve smith would walk all over the hawks defense?

not worth predicting one way or the other. any team could have a good or bad day.

Championships games were fucking boring this year. I liked the outcome of both, but it's not as fun to watch when one of the teams just plays like shit.

Post by **Hannibal** » Mon Jan 23, 2006 6:09 am

Yeah last weeks games were much better. Caronlina really surprised me in how poorly they played...they just ran out of gas this year.

The Seahawks didn't have to worry about Carolina's running game.

Post by **tnf** » Mon Jan 23, 2006 11:34 pm

that wasn't the reason carolina lost, despite what the pundits want to say.

AFC had the better teams this year. Steelers have it won.
Every AFC team the Steelers played in the playoffs was a better team than the Seahawks.

Post by **tnf** » Mon Jan 23, 2006 11:37 pm

they may win it, but armchair quarterbacking and rambling about who is going to win at this point is just ridiculous...any team can have an off day and any team can have an on day. we can talk odds, but that's about it.

Seattle could have ran the table against nothing but AFC teams and people that don't like them would still ramble on about the same stuff.

And every AFC team Pitt played wasn't 'better' than seattle - how are you defining 'better.'?

lol, do football fans do anything but armchair quarterbacking between championships and superbowl?

armchair qb'ing is fine. But these armchair qb's who run around saying "THIS WILL HAPPEN" are tiring...

Give me statistics and odds..matchups, etc., that you think will be exploited to give a team the win...not STEELERS WILL WIN...

Since when are these threads based upon anything more than opinions? This isn't a scientific argument here. I'm just saying Seahawks didn't impress me too much TBH. Redskins only had a good D, once they were able to penetrate it and get a lead Readskins didn't have an offense to get the points back. All the Seahawks had to do against Carolina was shut down Smith...which they did. They did both of these things, but both teams had a predictable game plan as they (Redskins + Panthers) are one dimensional teams.

Steelers on the other hand can effectively come out throwing (which they did in the last 2 games and it worked) or running the ball to start on offense. On defense they have an effective agressive blitz but also a good enough D line where they can play it safer with the line backers.

If it could be played, I'd take the Bengals, Broncos, Colts, Steelers, all over the Seahawks.

Christ, you're missing the point...opinions are fine. Everything's a fucking opinion. I'd just rather read an opinion that is backed up by some observation and that can be discussed and or debated rather than STEELERS ARE GOING TO BEAT THE SEA CHICKENS! I LIKE THE FOOTBALL! My point is that I'd rather hear someone's opinion when they've taken the time to point out how or why they came to that opinion. I have to deal with this crap all day long in my line of work. "Man the Steelers suck!" "Oh, really? Why?" "Man, they just...they suck man...they just do."

"Man, evolution is all a bunch of crap." "Oh, really? Please explain." "Man..its just...crap man...we didn't come from no apes man..."

I place that blind "GO TEAM" cheerleading stuff in that category of opinion.

Good teams are able to overcome adversity. Seattle overcame adversity when they beat Washington and their defense without Alexander. Carolina was missing the crux of its running game, no doubt, but their defense was still predominantly intact, and was systematically picked apart.

Smith was shut down. Great. So where were the other receivers? Carolina was touted as some tough as nails road warrior team...they weren't. Like you mentioned, Caroline looked very one-dimensional. Seattle's offense is far from one-dimensional. I think they will stack up fine offensively. But if Pittsburg is playing well, seattle's defense will need to put together their best outing of the year.
