another just insane comment, seriously does it make you feel better to say such moronic things.......two words....."seek therapy"

Just read your previous posts, obviously on Pitt. Who of those 4 would you feel comfortable playing? Brady, Manning, Tennessee line play is outstanding & Baltimore defense with 2 weeks off would play like maniacs. Five days left to shock the world. Wondering if Ben will get over the 22 qb rating in previous superbowl and maybe throw his first td in a superbowl game. GL with your overrated defense. AZ just beat the 3rd rated defense and beat the Steelers last season, do you think the Cardinals are better this season?

2.  You can look at every team in the NFL and pick 6-8 games in which they played lousy offenses, or lousy defenses, or whatever you want to say about the teams. 
3.  The Steelers played the Ravens twice, the Titans, the Eagles, the Giants, the Redskins, the Colts, the Patriots, the Cowboys, and the Bengals twice.  That's 11 games right there against teams that all ranked in the top 12 defensively in the NFL.  And when you play good defenses, it makes it harder for your offense to stay on the field.  Hence, your defense spends more time on the field.  Are you with me here? 
4.  This Steelers defense allowed .4 yds/game less than the '76 Steelers defense, whom many believe was the best year of the Steel Curtain.  They've also allowed about 10 less yds/game than the notorious 2000 Ravens D. 
5.  If you're going to make an argument, then make one.  Present some good points.  You just keep saying that "they played six games against teams with no offense."  That's not a strong argument.  As a matter of fact it's pretty fucking weak.
 


Ok
1. Sorry Division instead of Conference
2.No you can't find many teams that played against 3 of the worst offenses in  the NFL...not only played them but played them twice....so please answerthe question, don't assume every team in the league has played 3 teams with horrible offenses twice...Oh sorry the Ravens have....look at their numbers.
3.LOL...look when they played the Colts €24 points...Look at the Titans only 31 points....you answered yourself....when they play good offenses they get exposed...
4. The 76 Steelers at least had a decent conference....The 85 Bears defense would make this year Steelers team look like pussies.
5. You look like a dick because i answered all your points with FACTS.....you answered me with bullshit

where to start with you moron,

Brady isn't playing this year.....Steelers beat the Ravens, not once, not twice but 3 times

they lead the entire way and handed a game to Indy (with the help of a few horrible calls) and Tenn,no excuses Tenn was better on that day (but game was a bad scheduling spot IMO and things would have been different in rematch that never happened b/c they lost in 1st round )

sorry you moved from one city of losers to another, but you really should keep your absolutely ridiculous comments to yourself

so Killer_B you are totally contradicting yourself...You are saying you have 4 teams you are glad Arizona is not facing...Baltimore is one of them.  Just so happens PIttsburgh beat Baltimore 3 times this year..3 TIMES my friend..So, if you are scared of Arizona facing a team Pittsburgh beat 3 times, then what does that say for a team like the Steelers...Oh wait, I'm sure you have excuses why the Ravens lost everytime right?? 
 
Go find another team that only allowed 1 team to gain over 300 yards of total offense in a game all season and get back to me...

No... You haven't made me look like a dick.  And Tennessee didn't score 31 against the Steeler D.  They had a pick 6.  So they only scored 24.  Again you're corrected. 
     Also, two of Indy's TD drives began on the 32 and 30 yd line of the Steelers.  SO YOU BRING TWO GAMES IN WHICH THE STEELERS ALLOWED 24 PTS (PLAYING 2 OF THE BEST OFFENSES IN THE LEAGUE) AND THAT'S YOUR ARGUMENT.    WOW! 
 
Please tell me you have something better than that.

I sorry only 24 points against the Mighty Steelers defnese...thats not bad....You do like a dick...Your making a team better then they really are...The Steelers are a good team...Not Great...no matter how you play your cards they play in a weak division arguably one of the worst of all times...The Bengals,Browns and Ravens Offeses are pathethic to say the leasy....There is no answer to that fact...no matter how hard you try..

They were exposed by The Titans and Colts....The Cards will expose them for what they are...a team that has great offensive numbers, because they are in  a WEAK DIVISION!!!

Steelers shut down Chargers offense twice (Rivers led NFL in TD passes) and they got a late meaningless score in the playoff game.  Colts were basically shut down all game, they got a lucky tipped pass for a td and Ben threw a pick right before half to set them up for another TD.  Held Philly to 15 points, New England to 10 points and Dallas to 13 points.  Tennessee was by far the defenses worst game but they did not allow 31 points because there was a late INT returned for a TD so they only let up 24.  So please lets get off this "is the Steelers D really that good".  The season speaks for itself.

Pitt did beat Baltimore 3 times, once in Overtime, once when the refs decided Baltimore never being behind for 59:15 of the game deserved to lose on a replay reversal which giftwrapped the division & 2 seed for Pitt. The third time was Baltimore's 3rd week in a row on the road and their 18th week in a row of playing football. Pitt held them up for 4 quarters asking to get beaten and if not for that stupid personal foul play on the punt, Baltimore would of had 1st down on the 40 yd line and would of won. Instead the foul put them on their 14 yd line and you know what happened next. Don't act like Pitt dominated the Ravens.

Also it must be nice for the Arizona offense to face the Rams, Seahawks, and 49ers.

Weak conferences:
NFC West-Seahawks, 49ers, Rams (Arizona's conference) think their numbers are inflated from playing these weak ass defenses?
AFC West- Broncos, Chiefs, Raiders
AFC North-Browns and Bengals

But they have put up big numbers agaist The Eagles (3rd ranked defense in a legit strong division) The Panthers a legit strong defense......The Steelers were exposed by a good offense The Colts, The Titans......

Robb with all due respect, you live in a fantasy world...Baltimore was one of the better teams in the league this year..Let me ask you, who is the best team in the NFL this year in your opinion??

Robb... The AFC North had the two top teams in the AFC.  You say the '85 Bears would have made this team look like pussies.  Interesting.  The '85 Bears' opponents had 121 wins in '85.  The Steelers' opponents had 133 this year.  Mmmm.  So the Steelers actually played a tougher schedule.  Oh and the '85 Bears allowed 258 yds/game compared to the Steelers' 237 this year.  The Steelers allowed 19 TD's this year.  The '85 Bears allowed 22.  Mmmm.  Interesting.  The Steelers defense, by those numbers (and those are some pretty important numbers), are better than the '85 Bears. 
     Oh and the Bears D played some bad offenses too.  Believe it or not.  The Bucs went 2-14.  They played them twice.  The Falcons were 4-12.  I'm sure they didn't put the fear of God in anyone.  Indy went 5-11.  Mike Pagel was their starter and he threw more pics than he did TD's. 
     I'm still waiting for your list of teams with a better D than the Steelers this year.  I cant wait to see that.
     Are you convinced that you're wrong yet?  Of course you're not.  You're not smart enough to know better.
     And dont take these shots personally.  Dont be a box.  I do mean them (I mean I really do think you're an idiot), but at the same time it's all in good fun.

yeah the Ravens suck they just made the afc championship by luck.  Get outta here, sersiouly where do you people come off saying a team that made the afc championship game, are not that good?  Someone made another thread saying that Pittsburgh is not a good team?  How the hell did they get to the super bowl then?  I forgot bad teams always make runs through the playoffs.
