It's god damn ridiculous. Colt's don't deserve to win. But one thing I hate about watching NFL football is that is sooo god damn biased it's not funny at all. First, its all about the Colts on how good there offense is. Now because the Pat's are winnings, its all about them. Why can't i watch a game with commentary about both teams and not just one. That's one thing thats bad about NFL coverage is that the commentaters are soo bloody stupid.

actully.. Moss wasnt himself that game, he only had 3 catches for 50 yards, and he was thrown to 12 times.... GO EAGLES!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not sure how accurate that statement is, because the first time they played 2 of the first 3 Steeler touchdowns were direct results of a big defensive play, and last time I checked their defense is still intact, if not better than it was on October 31st.

their defense didnt have to worry about corry dillon either though.. it will be different with him in

...And that makes 99, no, no, 100 times I've heard that since the Patriots lost on October 31st.

Kind of like how I heard 150 times last week that the Colt's receivers are going to shred the depleted Pats secondary. Hardly anyone would have taken anyone seriously last week who would have said otherwise. Looks like the "obvious statement of the year" wasn't too obvious, huh?

Actually, I think it's great that the Steelers are underdogs for this one.

hey im with you i want the steelers to win and i think they have a good chance but the patriots are a hard team to beat in the playoffs

DanZeke, what are you talking about? I never mentioned Randy Moss at all or any other player also. I was actually mentioning NFL's media coverage by the major networks.

the stage is set and the raods are clear of competition. The Steelers have secured thier place in history of a fifth superbowl. If there was a game that Steelers would lose to break their winning streak it was the jets game. However, fate smiled upon Pittsburgh and granted them victory. Steelers are now a rolling juggernaut on it's way to jacksonville. Saying the Steelers are underdogs is just Sprts critics not knowing anything about Sports and jumping on the bandwagon. Pats have nothing when compared to the arsenol of Puttsburgh. Pittsburgh wins not because of it's unstoppable offense, or unbreakable defense. They win because they have two things. They posses playmakers, probably the most play makers on anyone team at the momment, and they also play in your face football.

when the Steelers try and play like the franchise steads of victory they become un organized and trip up. They try and put on a spectacle of somthing they are not. The Steelers are not the cowboys of the early ninties. they are not the 49'ers of the late 80's. The steelers are a simple team that has one of the best offensive lines in history, and also a team that just plays some football. They are not outt here trying to execute a perfect play, just trying to win.

If the Steelers play like a team they are not again, they will lose and always lose. This is how theyplayed against the jets and got schooled. I think they will realize this and change their approach and go back to in your face football again.

Is it just me or does anyone else think burress is an overated hack? I hate plaxico burress. He is garbage. He plays like he is scared to make a dive for the ball.

Good News for you = He is an UFA after this season and will most likely sign elsewhere

But....I will never complain about someone who can stretch the field and take that extra man out of the box. Even if he doesn't make the dive, he still does that. Randle El, though I think he's great in his own way, does not do that.

aww man.. i quoted the wrong person.. sorry

my prediction for the superbowl is I would like to see the eagles and steelers be in it but only one of those is going to happen Im afraid.I think it will be the eagles and Patriots.The patriots are just too good for the steelers to overcome and they got lucky last week with the jets.

i think the patriots are very good but saying they are too good for the steelers is ignorant seeing as the steelers already stomped them once and ben still has not lost. it should be a great game and extremely physical... and atlanta philly should much more fast paced and a game of mistakes

I dunno what's gonna happen with either game. I'm glad at least some of my early predictions were right (apart from the emotional Green Bay debacle.)

I suppose the fact that the Steelers have already beaten the Pats this season gives an indication, however the Pats only ran the ball 6 times in the whole game (no Dillon). It has to be said this was also because they got horsed in the 1st quarter so were forced to throw. Ben hasn't lost this season but Brady is 7-0 in the play-offs.

Going on the performances last weekend, the Pats should win. However, the Colts are a hugely different team than the Steelers.

I'm gonna guess at the Pats, because of the quarterbacks, Brady has done it, twice! Also the fact that the Pats know they can go to Pittsburgh and win the championship, because they've done it before.

Eagles vs Falcons. hmmmmmm. Rams were so bad against the run it was silly, the Eagles won't allow nearly the same yards from the RBs. If they put 8 in the box then they have a chance to contain Vick and they can be pretty sure that their (all bar 1 in the probowl) secondary can deal with the Falcons receivers. Falcon defence aint too shabby and Eagles offence aint at it's best.

I reckon Eagles win because of their secondary and Brian Westbrook.

I agree. I made the mistake of thinking the Colts can beat up the Pats secondary. I was completly wrong. The Pats have a better than last year. They also can play outdoors and in the snow or rain, so homefield advantage is only an advantage because of the crowd (but they can be completly taken out early). If the Pats can stop the best offense in the league, they can stop the Steelers. Also, the Pats can ram Dillon down the Steelers throat just the Steelers can also. Their both generally the same team. I'll the edge to the Pats because of the experience, coaching and defense thats seems to be impossible to beat in the playoffs. Also, Big Ben is not Tom Brady right now.

Im just curious. If the pats beat the best offense in the league, and the Steelers beat the Pats ( i'm sorry i meant spanked), does that make the Steelers the best offense? To many people underestimate the Steelers. Everyone changes perspectives after one game. The Steelers 15-1, homefield andvantage, more running and passing yards than the pats, the least amount of points allowed in the league. yet the Steelers are underdogs, how does that happen? The Steelers struggled against the Jets so much because of two reasons. The steelers tried to play like a team they are not. They are not a flashy team. also the Jets play very similar to Steelers football, both on offense and defense. That is why everytime the jets and Steelers meet it is ALWAYS a hard fought match.

I think the jets game was a bit of reality for the Steelers. All season they have been playing one game at a time. Last week they were playing as though it diddnt matter. The only reason i would give the Pats the edge is because of tom brady. Tom brady is consistant. Ben is not. That is to say if i were going to give the edge to the pats. I give the edge to the Steelers because of homiefield advantage. Otherwise this match is fairly evenly matched. I think the Steelers have more playmakers though, but it can go either way. I predict the Steelers in a hard fought win 27-17

As for the eagles and falcons. I give this bout to the eagles with a very reminscant win against the vikings. I dont think the EAgles will have much trouble against the falcons. Their offense line proved themselves against the vikings. Also, they have some awsome mometum going for them. Eagles...31-24

I agree.. so many people underestimate the Steelers.

if they put 8 in the box they will get beat.. you cant do that against Dunn he is too fast if he hits the gap he is gone no safety will get him in the open field the key vs dunn is to drop guys back and not stuff the box full.. but then they can pound you with TJ ducket.. and receivers ATL has one of the best TE's in football in alge crumpler and thier WR's arnt too shaby either they are by far the most underrated team in the NFL right now and i hope they kill everyone left

There's a reason no sports predictor went 512-0 this season. Too many people base their predictions off of their most recent memory of the team (i.e. last week's game that they played).

Yes, the Steelers did go 15-1. Yes, they have home-field advantage. Yes, the Pats did lose to the Steelers earlier this year.
Well, the Pats have the longes winning streak ever in the history of the NFL. They have the a better team this year than last year, and that team won the superbowl. Homefield advantage is useful to have, but fans alone isnt going to win the game. And the Steelers did beat them, but, does that mean they will beat them again?
Tom Brady and an offense that has been together for a couple of years,(and have done something with it), a defense thats somehow is 10 times better in the playoffs and Corey Dillon. Homefield is not the reason that I give the edge to the Steelers because well, they didnt do much with that homefield advantage when they played the Jets.
And remember if it goes the last minute with the Pats, thier kicker wont miss twice.

Yes, i know, sports analyst's are not very good a predicting games. But I'm not reiterating a sports caster. But what does that have to do with anything about MY personal prediction of who is going to win. Steelers are a good team, no doubt about it. But soo is the Pats. Can you tell me WHY the Pats will lose?
Or are you just going to keep on saying somebody about sports caster predicting wrong?
And facts are facts, not speculation.

if they play as lousy against the patriots like they did against the jets,it will be a long day for them and they will not go anywhere.Ben Rothlesberger has to play MUCH MUCH better than he did against the patriots than he did against the jets to win that game.I figured right in that game that the steelers would just barely squeak by the jets because rookie quarterbacks usually show that they are rookies in playoff games because the playoffs your playing the best of the best and you got to take it to a whole new level than what your used to at the regular season.the playoffs they are moving in much faster motion than the regular season and a rookie quarterback is not used to that.that was a regular season game when they beat them,THIS is the playoffs.The patriots are the champs until someone proves otherwise.The steelers are going to have a monumental task ahead of them trying to keep pace with the patriots in that game.The jets took the pittsburgh crowd out of the game and almost won that game and should have won.they only lost because of two missed field goals.Dont expect the field goal kicker of the patriots to choke like brian did of the jets because he is one of the best in the leauge.you dont think the patriots can take the crowd out of the game in pittsburgh? you got another thing coming to ya.Just because they beat them in the regular season does not mean they are the better team. 🙄
