Steelers in 2006 or Patriots in 2007 (1 Viewer)

Dammit. I saw this thread and was going to post "In before BGP says the 2006 Steelers didn't really win" but I see I'm too late.

Well, it has been a while since the Browns made a run at.......Uh, I cant remember the last time they even had a 3 game winning streak, let alone a playoff run. BGP loooooves to fish, but no bites in a while.

AS I Patriot fan, I hate threads like this. The arrogance in the OP thread is about as refreshing as his misogynist takes on women in football. It is why I generally avoid NE threads.

NE has accomplished nothing yet in 2007. If they win a superbowl, that would be a good time to revisit this topic.

 

[Ron_Mexico]

After tomorrow, PATS in a landslide.

Patriots would have ebaten the Seahawks

in last year's SB 48 -3.

I'm glad that my original post can be so thought provoking that you were able to slip misogynist into one of your posts. I'm sure you have been waiting to use that one for awhile.Maybe you should continue to avoid NE threads if you cant see the tongue in cheek manner in which the original premise of the thread was put forth.Because there are never any threads in the Shark Pool based on hypotheticals.

The Steelers went on the road as a wildcard team and won at Cincy, at Indy and at Denver to get to the SB. Very impressive run.The Patriots have beaten the Jets at home, at Chargers (unbeaten at home), and will most likely win at Indy (also unbeaten at home).If the Pats complete this run to get to the SB, which is a more impressive run?

The Steelers beating the Bengals after busting Palmer's knee taints it a little, so it's not much different than the Pats beating the Jets at home. Beating Indy and Denver on the road was great for the Steelers, but if the Pats can beat the best two AFC teams who were undefeated home teams it will be more impressive.

I think the word "impressive" is key. That's not the word to use to describe the Steelers run. The Bengals lost Carson Palmer, and the refs changed the outcome of that Super Bowl - the Seahawks manhandled the Steelers in that game. You came away from Super Bowl XL questioning the Steeler pass rush after seeing how Porter and company got dominated by the Seattle OL (which turned out to be a valid concern as we have seen in 06).

Still smarting from the "Bill Cowher will never win anything quote"?J

Of course not. Bill Cowher didn't win it. It was given to him. Remember, the Hawks Oline was dominant against the Steeler pass rush. Those 3 sacks they gave up...the refs tripped Hasslebeck.

Can someone please explain to me exactly what was impressive about the stillers run last year?

Teams do that EVERY year. It's called a super bowl run. Pleae look up the definition of 'impressive' before answering. Thanks.

Needing 4 straight wins to even get to the playoffs, running the table, then going on the road to beat the #1,2, and 3 seeds in a VERY strong AFC, then knocking off the NFCs #1 seed in the Super Bowl doesn't qualify as impressive?Seeing as it can never be surpassed, only duplicated, I'd say that's about as impressive as it gets.

Yours and BGPs comments aside, if New England wins out this year, it will be a very impressive run. However, the mere fact that they got a suspect Jets team at home in round 1 ended any chance at it being more impressive than Pittsburgh's run last year.

Really Joe? Based on the discussions that you and I have had, it was quite apparent that you lumped all Pats fans into one bucket based on some that you had come across personally in Tennessee. The above statement seems contradictory to that original stance. Isnt that where the whole "whiny tool" thing came from?

So the Jets are a suspect team but a win over a Jon Kitna led Cincinnati team is impressive? The win over Indy appeared to be impressive but then again, thats what Manning does in the playoffs, come up small. Then they go into Denver and Jake Plummer implodes. To top it off they win the SB in less than impressive fashion with a great deal of help on questionable calls. Winning 4 games, 3 on the road, is impressive until you look into the details of those wins.

The 1985 Patriots won 3 road games to get to the Super Bowl so what the Steelers did wasnt as unprecidented as some people want you to believe.

Im not arguing whos run would be more impressive. Thats open to opinion, but I was stating the fact that the Steelers knocked off the top 3 seeds. That has never been done.

 

[BGP]

You have to admit that the notion that the officiating cannot possibly ever change the outcome of a game is silly. And SO MANY people saw that game for what it was that the NFL felt compelled to come out and issue a statement, where they said all the calls were correct. It was a totally laughable gesture on the part of the NFL.

I enjoy watching the NFL but I'm not beholden to it either. If the NFL screws up, I'll call it out.

And by not cleaning up its mess, the NFL is getting what it deserves this season with lots of people complaining about officiating.

 

[Steffy]

Steffy, the Steelers were 11-5 last year. And the Steelers are the obvious answer here. The won on the road against the 1, 2, and 3 seeds, and won each game in fairly convincing fashion (the Colts score was close only because of the horrible overturned non-INT call).

I stand corrected; my fault.

 

[AhrnCityPahnder]

All things considered, I think I'm going to have to go with the Steelers in 2006.

 

[Class Dismissed]

I'm thinking the Steelers run was a little more impressive, a little more complete.

 

[PatsWillWin]

Did Manning finally get it done or did Pat Patriot just execute the biggest jinx in recent NE history?

 

[Steeler]

 

[Slinger]

The Steelers

 

[Pat Patriot]

I dont believe in jinxes. Congratulations to the Colts. They outplayed the Pats today in all phases. Brady played well, Manning was better. Belichick had a couple of gaffes that cost his team. The Pats D ran out of gas, they were outplayed by the Colts D.There are no excuses. Yes, the victory by the Colts puts this thread to bed. I'm happy with the Pats season. Enjoy it Colts fans, a SB run can be the most fun you experience in your life. Enjoy Miami.

#1 - The Bengals of 2006 with Kitna at the helm were better than this year's Jets. Plus, New England got them at home.#2 - How is "Jake Plummer imploding" any different than San Diego bobbling that game away last weekend?

#3 - The Steelers actually BEAT the Colts in Indy.

Throw a shovel of dirt on this thread - the debate is emphatically over.

Dude, I came into the thread and faced the music. I've let it go. Congrats to the Colts.

 

[Ghost Rider]

And BTW, the Steelers didn't beat the Broncos last January simply because Plummer imploded. Pittsburgh won that game because the Broncos defense was terrible on 3rd downs.

 

[PhD]

"Patriots - it's not close"???? You are on drugs.Against the Jets the Pats were at home, easy favorites against a surprising but clearly overachiing team. What happened in that game was generally expected by almost everyone.The win against the Chargers was similar to the Steelers win against the Colts - unexpectedly taking down the dominant team in the league on their own turf after overcoming a huge mistake by your team leader late in the game and waiting for the other team to miss a field goal at the end of the game.The win over the Colts - oh wait a minute - the Pats haven't done that yet - don't get ahead of yourselves folks, they haven't done it yet...

First learn how to use the quote function pops. Secondly, the fact that I may or may not be on drugs has little to do with the Pats or Steelers. The Steelers were handed a their Super Bowl on a silver platter last season. The 2004 Steelers would have soundly beaten the 2005 version. The Pats may or may not beat the Colts, I don't know. It's all speculation. Be sure to return here after the game for gloating or chiding, whichever the case may be.

Have it your way kiddo - I'll come back to quote you and gloat. First you take a bad position and you take it with an arrogant tone. Bad combo. But then you try to defend your weak position with more arrogance and an even weaker defense. The idea of putting the 2004 Steelers against the 2005 Steelers is silly, but (as a die-hard Steelers fan) I can admit that in the end the 2004 Steelers were missing some grit to go and take the big game with playoff pressure. The 2005 Steelers had the grit. Early versions of the Patriots had it, but apparently this team didn't ... or maybe the Colts just had more this year.

I was out all afternoon/evening. As far as "impressiveness" goes, I don't know what more you can do than knock off every top seed in the playoffs. You can dissect any game and find reasons why the wins weren't impressive, but the bottom line is that they took out some really good teams on the road and won it all.

Pats failed to match this, but they still had a terrific season - no need for Pats fans to hang their heads.
