Well, my Steelers dispatched of the Bungles and took Palmer out in the process. Too bad. He was a good one. Ah well, that'll teach 'em to take our spot atop the division away from us.
I was surprised that the Giants lossed like they did. Who woulda thought that Carolina was not only gonna win, but spank them? Not I, said the pig. Not I.
Sorry bts, but there's plenty of room on the Steelers bandwagon. I'll even let you drive, provided you wear the required uniform which consists of a hat and...well, that's about it!
Steelers fan and all, they've got 2 things against them this coming week-end. 1)They never play well in a dome (and the Vikings game doesn't count because hey it was the Vikings). 2)The Indianapolis Colts offense. The Steelers are not that good against the pass especially a team that has 4 threats in the passing game.
Denver here we come,lock up the women and children, because it ain't gonna be pretty. We'll be going to the mile high stadium with most of our starters healthy and well rested after the light work-out jacksonville gave on saturday. After three Super Bowls and 10 play-off wins in four years, we'll probably still be listed as underdogs. It just goes to show that some people never learn. Lesson No. 1. Tom Brady doesn't lose play-off games. Place your bet accordingly.
so how did your team do this weekend? win? lose? sitting at home b/c they didn't make the playoffs?
well my bears are getting some well deserved rest and relaxation...
let's see how carolina enjoys coming to town and playing in the cold next week... beat them once already w/orton at qb... it's gonna be fun to see what a half-way decent offense might be able to do... and even if it's not much, that defense is still going to hit them hard

The first round bye isn't always a desireable thing. Depends on the team of course, but for your sake, I hope the rust doesn't hang around for too long. As far as Carolina being unable to play in cold weather, didn't they just do that and win?
And I apologize for sounding so insensitive when talking abut Palmer. When I said it, I didn't know how serious the injury was. I thought they just took him out for the game, not completely blew out his knee. I feel bad for the guy, the team and the entire town of Cincy for that matter. He is a rising star on a team that was finally on the upswing. They were fun to watch and here's to a speedy recovery.

I've always thought the first round bye was a mixed blessing. Yeah, you get a couple of weeks off to rest and heal, but you don't know who you're facing until a week into it. These guys get into a routine over the course of a season, play, rest, practice, play, ect. It's not like the bye week in the season where it gives you two weeks to study and prepare for your next opponent, like Indy had for the Pats. Obviously, you stand a chance of losing by playing, but by winning, you get to keep the seasons' momentum going.In the same way, wrapping up the division title and home field advantage early, making the last few games meaningless, is no advantage going into the play-offs either. I think this has been why Indy has never won a Super Bowl, they peak too early. It's also a good part of the reason the Pats keep winning, and are going to win this weekend. If you need futher convincing, see my previous posts. Go Pats.
lol..
...Man I wish they'd bring those commercials back. Maybe for the Superbowl, eh? I'd totally mark out for that!
