Yeah......including the Superbowl Trophy

Not quite ready to give that thing up yet.

Vectorfisher · 01-03-2005, 04:59 PM

YEs TDF we have a few more trophies

Afterhours no I would not call WEEI way too biased in my opinion, anybody who goes on the air and makes a statement that Brady is better than Manning loses all credibility with me I dont care who has a Lombardi trophy. Manning is better than Ben R by light years and if you ask me Ben can stand toe to toe with Brady all day long as a rookie and will only improve

You guys sure can talk some smack, how about the Pittsburgh losses to aid in the Pats getting home field

They showed yesterday what type of team they are by beating a BILLS team THAT NEEDED A WIN to get in the playoffs with 2,3 string players, while your team was held up until the half 7-7 with the crappiest team in the NFL if your team comes out slow in 2 weeks like they have quite a few times this year YOU ARE ALL DONE mark my words!! You can talk all you want about your team and it's most recent accomplishments but when they lose just remember which team has had more success in it's overall history

Not just the Johnny come lately's

Vectorfisher · 01-03-2005, 05:08 PM

Goose that streak sure did help them against Pittsburgh and Miami

Gimme a break, like I said you guys will hang onto anything

afterhours · 01-03-2005, 05:11 PM

johnny come latlely... how about johnny won the superbowl lately.

Vectorfisher · 01-03-2005, 05:13 PM

Tell me when the last time the Pats went 15-1 or for that matter only lost 1 game in the regular season, I think that could be some kind of record NO

afterhours · 01-03-2005, 05:15 PM

never and no record for you!

Goose · 01-03-2005, 05:21 PM

Didn't I just agree that the steak was stupid? Hello!!!!

Like Big Fish said, patroits don't turn the ball over and they are tuff to beat....and don't forget Dillon didn't play when they met, he is a Huge part of the pats offense. Yes I beleive The Bills shoulda won, just like the pats could have won with Dillon. Hopefully the two teams will meet so we can find out.

"More success in its over all history"???? so freakin what! Will any of those players be playin this year?? HELLO unlike the pats where many of the same key player are there. Sayin crap like " you are all done" your the one talkin crap here.

Vectorfisher · 01-03-2005, 05:23 PM

Goose a little news flash if the 1st string Pittsburgh team plays yesterday the Bills get literally destroyed and thats a fact!

Surfcastinglife · 01-03-2005, 05:32 PM

the only team to beat pittsburgh this year was the ravens. the pats crushed the ravens, ur 2nd string beat the bills first string yup so what?? buffalo is mediocre at best, they lost to the patriots twice. the steelers are not gonna have a cakewalk through the divisional round, i wouldn't be thinking ahead to either the pats/colts i'd worry about the chargers come the divisional round, that will be a tough team to beat. 1200+ yrd back and a qb that has had the best year of his career and a very capable defence. dont be surprised if the steelers have a very tough day against em, perhaps even lose. we may not get pats/steelers in afc championship, you could end up with colts/chargers rematch. if ty law is still hampered by that foot and seymour is also banged up the pats stand a very good chance at getting picked apart by the colts. earthwind moreland and randall gay just wont cut it against harrison/wayne/prohle unfortunately
i think the pats match up worse with the colts then any other team and barring a denver miracle thats who we see. if the pats get past the colts i think whomever they play on championship weekend is in trouble

TheSpecialist · 01-03-2005, 05:46 PM

When was the last time the Steelers won the Superbowl???

Oh, yeah and we won 14 games this season, most of them while missing one of the premier corners in the league. We have had a ruffed up secondary for most of the season. I hope it is Pitt and NE in the Afc Showdown, then we will see if they can stop Corey. He tosses linebackers around like they are ragdolls.

By the way if Peyton is so great why does'nt he have a ring????

The NFL is all about one thing, winning the SUPER BOWL. What you do during the season means jack schitt if you don't win the big game.

Vectorfisher · 01-03-2005, 05:49 PM

Surfcasting4life you keep bringing up the one game the Steelers lost against the Ravens w/o Ben R and somehow making a connection between the Pats beating

The Steelers beat them game before Buffalo 20-7 also beat the Dolphins and the Bengals 2x and the Jets also we crushed the Pats and Eagles so tell me how that loss to the Ravens means anything? I never said the Steelers would have a cake walk in any way shape or form READ ALL OF MY POSTS any team can be beat on any given day, but that doesn't seem to be the attitude with the Pats fans, they seem more like yankee fans

Vectorfisher · 01-03-2005, 05:52 PM

Specialist Peyton doesnt have a ring because the game is a team effort. Put Peyton on the Pats replacing Brady and I bet they go 16-0 this past season and go to the superbowl beating Pittsburgh in the playoffs

The 2 games the Pats lost were due to Brady's interceptions and Dillon fumbles as well as the Defense giving up a bit Also don't flatter yourself with injury's the Steelers have had defensive pro bowlers out quite a bit of the 15-1 season

I agree!!!
Peyton has to carry the whole team on his back, just like Marino had to in Miami,
Put Brady on the colts, and they are NOT that good!!!

BigFish · 01-03-2005, 07:17 PM

If you put Ben R on the Colts....does that make him not as good a quarterback....like your Brady scenario?

I think Brady and Ben R are great quarterbacks regardless....but I agree it takes a team to win a Superbowl!

afterhours · 01-03-2005, 07:49 PM

......do we sound like yankee fans ?

Vectorfisher · 01-03-2005, 07:56 PM

I will only say Ben R has had a great rookie season, to say he is a great quarterback is a stretch being that he has only played in 13 games. When I think of Brady as a quarterback great does not come to mind, he is a solid quarterback don't get me wrong but I think guys like Manning, Marino, Elway reserve the right to be called great!

TheSpecialist · 01-03-2005, 08:05 PM

I also will agree on the team aspect of winning.

Corey did not play in Pitt, had he played it might have been a different game. If I remember correctly Randall Gay got burned for the 1st touchdown, after replacing Law. If Law had been in the secondary, do you honestly think that would have been a TD? I admit that the Pats had a lousy game, and had like 3 fumbles, and 2 interceptions. The Steelers were on the ball, and took advantage of the turnovers.

In the Miami game, the turning point was the Rodney Harrison penalty in the end zone. IMO when that happened it was a momentum change, Miami was able to score and make it a 28-23 ball game. Brady then fumbled trying to make a play, as he was being sacked. If he had connected like the week before everyone would have been calling him a god, instead they hung him out to dry for 1 bad play. Then Troy Brown, a wide reciever playing as a corner got burned in the end zone for a td. Now had the Pats secondary been healthy we would not have had a wideout playing corner.

I am now going to my imitation of Bill Belicheck:

The past is the past, we had a couple of bad games on the way to our 2nd 14-2 season. (Only done by 3 other teams by the way), We are gonna put that in the past, and focus on our upcoming game. We have some tough competition ahead of us.

What's Edgerrin James, chopped liver? Marino never had an RB as good as James.

islander · 01-03-2005, 08:52 PM

Ben hasn't done S--t yet, when he wins two super bowl you can talk about Ben, The steelers have had a good year, The Pats had a good year. you don't really believe if Law hadn't gone down and Dillion was out the steelers win, do you?.

And Marino never had 3 recievers who all caught for 1000+ yards.

I think James is MUCH overated,
And yes , I think Marino is BY FAR the best of all time!!!
The numbers are not even close!!!
It's a shame he never won a superbowl!!!
Elway would never have won one without Terell Davis!!!
It;s a shame a Terell Davis never came allong for Marino!!!

BigFish · 01-03-2005, 08:59 PM

2 time Superbowl winner, 2 Superbowl MVP awards....consistently high QB rating which indicates he is more than capable of getting the job done and one of the best winning percentages among quarterbacks ever and you do not consider him GREAT?

What do you want the guy to do?

Stand on his head and shoot gold bullion out of his butt?

BigFish · 01-03-2005, 09:00 PM

Montana was the best ever...he has the rings and the stats! The best of both worlds and you can take that to the bank!

If Montana was so great,
How is that Steve Young stepped in and the team never missed a beat?
It was the team and NOT Montana!!!
The 9ers always had a great denense when they won their superbowls also.
Marino NEVER had a running game and never had an even good defense!!!
I'l take Marino anyday!!!
