Sad about Jones, he'd just started to turn his life around. Saw the end of the game last night marco, sloppy game but you got the 'W'.
My Browns are keeping things interesting though... I find it hard to believe we're 7-4 after four years of sucking..

Steelers vs. Pats this Sunday
Hope the Steelers beat the tar out of the Pats. Our stupid "new" safety Anthony Smith guarantees a win. What a stupid thing to say...
Yes, I do too. The Patriots have had our number for a while. It's time to change this pattern now. But you know what, this game matters to the Steelers in that they can find out what may or may not work against the Patriots. Should they meet again in the playoffs obviously that will be the game that "matters". If they lose on Sunday, I'll be mad if they lose ground on the Colts or let the Browns back in it a bit. But I remember 2 years ago when they lost to the Colts on Monday night. They ended up playing them in the playoffs at Indy and won because they figured out how to beat them. I feel the same way about beating the Patriots.
Anthony Smith is a very brash guy who doesn't need to open his mouth. I'm sure he can back it up on the field though.
It must be freezing in hell, becasue a Browns fan is ready to back the Steelers.
1. Smith shouldn't have opened his mouth like that. You can bet his teammates have already told him to STFU.
2. Calling them the Shittsburg Squealers is not very classy, dude.
3. The Steelers, with the #1 ranked defence and a good running game, are very capable of beating the Patriots, and don't think they aren't. Christ, the Ravens almost did - should have, in fact.
4. Until the Pats win the Supr Bowl, they haven't won anything this year. Any given Sunday.
5. The Colts, a "sorry, sissy team" are the defending champions, and don't think they can't beat the Patriots either. Manning can beat anyone, any time, anywhere....
6. No one whines more than Prett boy Tom Brady, and a lot of teams have said they believe the Patriots get more than their fair share of ref calls.
7. If the Pats do win another Super Bowl, they will tie the Browns with four NFL titles. And still be one behind the Steelers. The Steelers are a Browns rival but I respect the hell out of them.
8. And yes, it's already been proven the Patriots cheated. Case closed... and to add, Belichick is a greaseball, he proved it when he coached the Browns.
I like the Pats...but I'm not gonna make a big deal out of this, I'm not that hardcore into NFL stuff that I take it personally...so name calling is a little over the top for me...actually it always is-just really does a bad job of relaying the point, seems very 10th grade to me, but yet it seems nearly everyone does it online
Any given Sunday is right...whatever happens happens, and I'm not jumping on the Pats bandwagon, ever since they had that run to win their first superbowl I've been a fan
I dont like Pitt...but whatever, its just football, there are no real teams that I hate with a passion or anything, I just like to see the Bears lose so I can rub it in to some Bear fans at school! haha

Alrighty, not being much of a fan of football I havent peeked in here much. It looks like this thread is going bad quick. I dont mind a little spirited debate and will usually let stuff work itself out but I dont see this happening here anytime soon. Your all nice folks and key members here and to see something this silly getting you all fired up and possibly create hard feelings is just wrong . This can be counter prductive to the entire board. I like to tell folks this board isnt like those others where every thread turns to a battle and name calling. So please tone it down or the topic will get locked. Also its not mandatory but It would be really cool if you folks would do me a favor and go back and clean up your posts a little. This really isnt the face we would like to show the world.
Thanks
Drew
No name calling from me, drew, but I must respond to Tom's Brady's mother. hahaha. I'm just talking football, I take nothing here personal. Even when called an "idiot".
luvers....
1. Sorry I called you a dude. I shouldn't have assumed you were a guy.
2. The Pats have had a fairly soft sked, too, or did you forget they play in a division with the Bills, Dolphins and Jets?....but 12-0 is a record that can't be argued with.
3. The Ravens, who's O-line is old, exposed the Patriots to some degree... they can be run on, right up the gut... it would not surprise if NE beasily beat the Steelers, but it also wouldn't be a shock if Pitt ran it down NE's throats.
4. Peyton is more than "okay"... he does have good receivers, but he's also smart, great arm and (this always gets overlooked) a quick release. And I would argue the Pats' O-line is just as good as Indy's.
5. What Gruden did was nothing... working with the scout team in practices, exploring the other team's tendencies. Every team does it.
6. Maybe Belichick isn't a greaseball - that was probably over the top. It's just the fans in Cleveland hated him, not only because he cut Kosar, but because he wasn't very friendly to the fans, at all. Although he has enough personality to entice a married woman into an affair.... come to think of it, that's kind of greasy, isn't it?
7. Oh, and if the Pats didn't break any rules (which they did), why did they pay such a huge fine, get dinged for draft picks and not say a word about it, other than they wanted to "move on"? And Brady is always whining to the officials, BTW. Always.
Have a nice day.
I'm not so sure I'd say Peyton has a great arm, but you definatly hit the most important point about him-the quick release, thats what allows him to hit guys as they're coming open, once he sees it the ball is out which is a big advantage, but it has shown that he is not nearly as effective if he's not surrounded by talent like he has been most of his career...Brady had some very good seasons without a great great reciever, and Manning has two, plus Dallas Clark
I guess that arguement works the other way too...Lions aren't so great but they have a very good group of recievers but only an average quarterback in Kitna to throw them the ball...
Go Pack...ha, by the way...did they get screwed by the refs against Dallas or what? jeez, Al Harris takes that ball away from TO and the ref said his forward progress was stopped??? He never attempted to wrap him up he just grabbed the ball out of his hands, one ref made the right call and the guy who couldnt see what was going on made the wrong one...then there was the pass interference at the end of the game where they said was pretty cheesy too...oh well they still played a decent enough game to hang in there, Brett was in chuck and duck mode while he was in, Rodgers was an improvement for that particular game
