Let’s do this! Philly’s out so it’s up to us if PA is to represent in the SB!

I can hardly breathe
I get anxious for 2 events: elections and steeler playoff games.
Public speaking doesn’t phase me, I’m great at taking tests … but before a Steelers playoff game, I am a sweaty, drunken, barely-breathing mess!!
Let's do this
I’m calling for 85 to have at least one good play vs the secondary.
oh my fucking god
cbs just cut out. My TV is black. I will kill Qwest if they ruin this for me.
I am...
…psyched
…nervous
…pumped
…confident
…concerned
…eager
…excited…
…and a little bit drunk, all mixed up in one. HERE WE GO STEELERS, HERE WE GO
just skype'd my sister's family in California for the first time
While I’m here in Pittsburgh, they are ex-pats, decked out in Steelers gear. We chanted cheers together — so ready for this — let’s go!
Seriously
We need to demonstrate all the ways he’s better than Ed Reed!

Let Us Pray...
“OUR FATHER, WHO IS ART ROONEY IN HEAVEN, FOOTBALL BE THY GAME.
THY KINGDOM COME, 5 SUPER BOWLS WON,
ON EARTH AS IT IS AT HEINZ FIELD
GIVE US THIS DAY OUR PLAYOFF WIN
AND FORGIVE US OUR PENALTIES
AS WE DEFEAT THOSE WHO PLAY AGAINST US
LEAD US TO AN AFC CHAMPIONSHIP
AND DELIVER US TO TAMPA
A- BEN”
Deep breaths
Breathe in…
Breathe out…
Ahhhhh…
….
Let’s go, Steelers.
wow
who was it who threw that killer block?
how about a little FWP out of the I!
Whatever it takes!

Was hoping for an all PA Superbowl.

Last time I rooted for all PA, just Eagles made it. Now, Steelers must represent. Come on over and pull for that at least.

Sadly no, but it's a start

My favorite part of football?
Hearing the crowd go “OOOOOOOOOOHHHHH” when they replay a block like the one Sweed just made.
I'm not saying...
….he should be thrown to more (God, please do not throw to Sweed), but you have to love hearing the crowd reaction as they watch the replay.

i feel like we should be 28-0. we have all the tools.
i am getting deja vu from titans ravens. guess what team we are?
Horrible time management
Sweed needs to keep doing this thing. Remember Nate Washington used to drop them all the time too. For his sake i hope he can improve. And yes we should be uo 28 to zero>>>
