    Time to let it go, guys.. Holmes was in

    500% magnification There were bad calls and missed calls, but I don't think this was among them. I wouldn't blame the ref if he had ruled it the other way in real time, but then the overturn would have created even more controversy. :eek:

    1 Steelers fan...

    Just to clarify, I wasn't comparing the football Cardinals to the Pirates' futility for the past umteen years. I was recalling the last time they were in the NLCS and were denied a victory in the bottom of the 9th by with a play at the plate. Probably not the same as the SB loss to many AZ...

    Nah, you didn't strike a nerve. I thought I was just having fun discussing football. If you look at my posts, you will see that I didn't talk smack before and I'm not gloating now. Note that I'm a Pirates fan, too. Talk about heartbreak and :bang: (I'm also a part-time and possibly...

    Evidence For No TD

    That catch looked good all the way, IMO. Part of the ball can indeed touch the ground as long as the receiver demonstrates control and the ground doesn't aid in the reception.

    1 Steelers fan...

    Are you sure? The SB is difficult for any team to reach, but I wouldn't count the Steelers out next year (maybe the year after from age and free agency). The Steelers get their running game and short yardage productivity back next year with the return of their starting RG, starting LT, and...

    On the Patrick TD.. Hightower with a sweet pickup on Polamalu

    With a four point lead, I assume the gamble is to prevent the deep out patterns to keep the the clock running. It looked like Fitz made a veteran move by actually jamming Ike Talyor on the shoulder pads to control him, which gave him better separation on the slant--a beastly play on his part...

    On the Patrick TD.. Hightower with a sweet pickup on Polamalu

    You're missing the point. It had been stated that Troy Polamalu looked very average, but he actually played very well because he did exactly what Lebeau wanted him to do. Polamalu often will close on a RB at full speed (4.3) when he has to play a little deeper (part of the stop-Fitz scheme by...

    On the Patrick TD.. Hightower with a sweet pickup on Polamalu

    Polomalu looked average because he was deployed differently than usual. He was a big part of the reason Fitz was shut down for 3.5 quarters. Sometimes he was just deeper and had to use speed to cover more ground, and other times he was one half of the jam and cover with Ike Taylor. On some...

    Merrill Hoge is an idiot Super Bowl addition

    When it comes to picks, Merril has favorites: the team with the "factor back," better O line, the harder hitting team, et al. When it comes to being a homer for the Steelers, that's part of his shtick (his broadcast mates even laugh at it). Even I rolled my eyes when he picked the Steeler...

    Face paint - where to get good paint?

    Do a search for costume/Halloween stores in your area. Party stores sometimes have it, too.

    Steelers pass defense

    There was no Woodley rushing from the other side in that game. The Colts didn't have to pick their poison. Parker was out, too.

    Turnovers will be important!

    Complimenary players Willie Parker and Heath Miller are complimentary players when it comes to offensive productivity. Miller is probably the best combo TE (catch and block) in the game. He's like a third OT on the field and acts as a fullback sometimes because the B. Arians moved away from...

    Mike Tomlin is BY FAR the most overrated coach in the league

    IMO, you really do need an above average to great QB to win that one game in the postseason that's going down to the wire. Cowher teams did a lot with quarterbacks who were average, at best. Brister, O'Donnell, Tomczak, Stewart, Maddox. Think about taking those QBs into the playoffs. Yikes!

    "If they can get pressure on Warner"

    More on the Steeler pass rush... Everyone talks about Harrison and Woodley as pass rushers, but the player on the Steelers D who is a little under the radar is Lawrence Timmons. When he rushes, he seems to "get there" quicker than most. You see him on third down a little more. The Steelers...

    Anyone else sick and tired of Squeeler Nation?

    Hey, Stout, stop snorting Coney Island chili sauce. It's burning your brain! :D

    to steeler fans on this board its time you heard the truth

    I've been to AZ many times (brother lived in Tempe and now lives in Scottsdale) and we've been excited about the Cardinals. The only problem is that they're playing my fav team this year. Heck, I even went to a Cards/Skins game when I lived in DC a few years ago. As far as "our time" and...

    I don't like to think about drinking Iron City, either. Bleeyuck!

    to steeler fans on this board its time you heard the truth

    Don't listen to the clowns in the national sports media to get an opinion of what Steeler fans and local Pittsburgh media are thinking about the Cards or any other NFL team. Nobody that I know here says the Cardinals can't win. Both teams are talented yet both have flaws/weaknesses. As far as...

    Referees wearing Black and Gold

    Unfortunately, that chop block call is in the book. I don't like it when a defender is called for it when trying to make a tackle, but it actually had been called against the Steelers earlier in that same SB season.

    So this just dawned on me.. This will basically be a Steelers home game.

    I'll also add that Pittsburghers know the Tampa area well. The Pirates have spring training just across the bridge in Bradenton. Plenty of Steeler bars there, too. Another factor is that there are a lot of eastern snowbirds (seasonal residents) already in the Gulf Coast of Florida--no need to...
