Congratulations to Mike Tomlin and the 2008 Pittsburgh Steelers! AFC Champions and Super Bowl Bound! Tomlin becomes the youngest coach to ever lead a team to a Super Bowl. Read that one once more and let it sink in. I suppose a hearty congratulations and job well done are in order to the Rooneys and Kevin Colbert as well for nabbing Tomlin unexpectedly and for surrounding him with both the kind of talent and character guys necessary to make all of this happen.
One last thing about the Rooneys - how amazing is it that they passed up on Ken Whisenhunt, who obviously knows a thing or two about coaching - to roll the dice with Mike Tomlin. Amazing instincts from the Rooney clan...yet again.
We've got two weeks to review this one and preview the Super Bowl so no rush. For now, we celebrate an amazing season and playoff run thus far.
'What better way than to beat up on Baltimore..They asked for us and they got us.'
- Hines Ward
18 down. 1 to go!
Go Steelers!

is on the verge of demonstrating the most superb run in 30+ years.
on the field
off the field
in the win column
in the trophy case
to be fair to the rest of the nation and the NFL, the Steelers should retire as a team and give lectures on how to succeed in business.
of course, i’m glad it’ll never happen, but the Rooney organization is tops on this planet and beyond

I love how hard-nosed Tomlin is, how old-school he is. This season’s team is everything I’ve loved about football since I was a kid. And Tomlin is not a small part of that. His presser after the Dallas game summarizes everything I love about this sport.

In response to the original post, Tomlin IS Pittsburgh, no doubt. Just a tough guy with a tough, hard-worker attitude. Just embodies what Steeler fans love about football. Congratulations to him for winning 24 freakin games in his first 2 season.

Congrats Old Rival, and thanks for your class with Mcgahee
Well, Congrats, you were just better than us.3 times you beat us. Great Year for my Ravens though! Also I wanted to thank the Steelers fans at Heinz Field who not only cheered Willis when he got carted off, but on tv, you could hear the ones near the tunnel shouting words of encouragement. That class means alot, because it is quite a heated rivalry, but its good to see when something that serious happens the fans are classy(as well as the Steelers and Tomlin who came to check on him)
Well, Enjoy the Super Bowl Steelers fans, hopefully next year it’ll be Joe and company, but for now I tip my purple hat to you.

totally disagree
This year’s Ravens team was 1 year removed from a 13-3 season. This organization knows what they’re doing. Tip of the hat for a bad-ass season. We got y’all 3 times this year, which rules, but I’m sure you’ll be back next year. We’ll see ya then.
by holiday park on Jan 18, 2009 11:11 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
we'll see holiday
Part of me saying ‘time was this year’ stems from two things…oor maybe even three actually.
1) Rex Ryans likely gone. Ton of free agent defenders too. Dont have the list on me but its an extensive one. On offense, guys like Mason and Heap arent cheap but theres no one really waiting in the wing that I can tell of to take their place. Baltimore’s roster isnt going to magically get better next year just beacuse Joe Flacco will not be a rookie. They are a well run team but they have some serious rebuilding to do right away unless 2010 is uncapped and they find clever ways to delay the cost of re-upping everybody important.
2) Pittsburgh is not yet in its peak years – we’ll be there next year and in 2010-2011 in my opinion. We’re just hitting our stride and going to be much better – Baltimore’s already playing keep up and their roster isnt on the upswing in terms of talent development.
3) This was a wide open year. Opportunities for teams with more modest expectations to make a run because there werent any heavy weights like Indy of previous years or New England of previous years.
We’ll see. But I think Baltimore may have missed their best shot for the next 2-5 years at least.

Just got cause they got on a good ride this year it don't mean ..
jack for next year. Every year is a new team, new dynamic. I will tell one thing, Flacco is here for the long-term and he’ll be a big time rival for BB for many years but don’t be pencilling the Ravens in for 10+ wins again next year just yet ..

Thing that scares me the most
is the Ravens getting Crabtree, or someone like him

Crabtree is not that good
System WR…numbers were way down this year. Also, he’s not a physical specimen (about the same size as Michael Clayton). Also not really a soph.
Had a great season last year b/c no one ever heard of him.
by HoustonPA on Jan 18, 2009 10:40 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
umm...wrong
“Had a great season last year b/c no one ever heard of him.”
What does that mean?
No one covered him b/c they hadn’t heard of him? Because that doesn’t really make since.
Yes his numbers are inflated, but 43 TDs in two years is 43 TDs in two years.
He is a great rout runner, has great hands, a really good blocker…no he doesn’t have top end speed, but neither do a lot of great WR.
I would say more physically similar to Andre Johnson, not Michael Clayton who is 6’4".

but they are only moments…
TP makes plays all day long. Those are what wins you game consistently. Reed can win you a game every once in a while when he gets a pick, TD, FF, etc….but I’d much rather take the guy that stops drives every week with tackles.

Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the month after December,
And each separate dying defender, Rolle, McGahee on the floor.
Eagerly I saw Joe Flacco; – vainly throwing picks and gettin’ a wacco.
From thirteen completions and plenty of sackos- sorrow for all of Baltimore-
For the Ravens thought they had a chance ’til Polamalu slammed the door -
Quoth the steelers, “nevermore”.

Destiny
3 weeks in Thailand during the first Steeler game of the playoffs and I went to a total media blackout. Got back and watched the game with the Chargers on NFL Gamerewind not knowing a single thing, outside of, “if they can beat this comeback team, they can shut down any comeback team and go to the Superbowl.” Well, I’ll be damned but that’s exactly what they did. Whiz is hot right now. He’s doing exactly what he did in 2005 but with a team 1/2 as worthy. This is going to be a huge game, I and won’t be surprised by a Steeler loss. But this season, with 3 brutal wins over the Ravens, will go down in history. Everyone played a great game today. Sweed dropped and easy TD and Holmes was robbed of one, but even then we dominated in every phase. If we don’t let up that punt return the Ravens don’t even sniff that first TD. Now it’s on to the SB and our biggest challenge of the year. Make no bones about it, we are facing the challenge of a lifetime.

Didn’t like him in college…but on a team like this with a coaching staff like this…he will succeed. Players have no choice but to in that environment.

Great to have a guy like Ward there to mentor.
And sweed always struck me as a guy that didn’t put in maximum effort, which seems to be a hallmark of Texas guys (see Roy Williams). that’s the kind of ship Mack Brown runs down there. The Fun and Fun.

So many thoughts to process. When I first saw the Steelers schedule for this season I thought 8-8 was a realistic goal. But this year’s team has made me a believer. I’ve loved their skill, but I’ve loved their toughness even more. I never thought this team could step to the occasion the way they have, including tonight’s game. Tomlin is officially my favorite coach ever this season.
I can’t even verbalize how happy I am. I love every inch of Allegheny County and I wish to God I was home tonight. Go Steelers, and I will see y’all really soon.

I just came over
to say that the better team one. The Steelers proved that they deserved to represent the AFC in the Superbowl. As much as I wanted my Ravens to win, I feel no shame in them losing to a team as good as your Steelers. Big Ben once again did his usual “Pull an insane play out of my ass on third and long” seemingly all game long. Your defense was its typical dominant self. I think one of the reason that the rivalry is so heated between the fan bases is that we both respect and enjoy the same tough defensive battles that both teams specialize in. I look forward to next year, after you guys brutalize the Cardinals, in more hard contested battles. Good luck in the Superbowl.

Becasue it wasn’t the one in which the refs REFUSED to call a holding penalty against anyone in white that blocked #92. Or perhaps you missed ridiculous pass intereference call that enabled the first Ratbuird TD. Maybe you also missed the TD taken away from Holmes for no obvious reason. Get a life and learn a thing or two about football before you come here talking your uninformed sore loser can’t get over it junk. The Steelers are in Super Bowl 43 and the Checkenhawks are home nursing a 4-12 record and looking for answers to the pathetic NFC West. Deal with it.

Please
The only call that you can honestly say was wrong was the 15 yarder on Hasselbeck after his pick.
The push off that negated the first TD was blatant and should have been called.
The holding on just before the Hasselbeck’s pick was questionable, but not blatantly wrong.
Ben’s TD was called a TD on the field. You can’t honestly say that there was indisputable evidence that he didn’t cross the plane. It was too close to call, either way. If it had been called no TD, it couldn’t have been overturned either. That’s the rule.
I didn’t hear anyone saying that there’s no way that Heath Miller should have been called for offensive pass interference. But, unlike Seattle, the Steelers overcame that penalty and scored a TD on that drive. The difference in that game is that the Steelers overcame the calls that went against them, while your team was too busy whining about perceived injustices. Apparently, you still haven’t gotten past it, and now your whole team sucks.

Between the poor pass protection all year (well, until the past 2 games), the lack of a consistent running game, and the questionable play calling, it’s remarkable to me that Ben has (somewhat singlehandedly) unglamorously led this offense to enough points that they’re in the Super Bowl. All things considered, what a superb QB.

Good call. Dude’s a legend. Not a bad jersey to sport.

Please don’t ever do that again. I can honestly say that I am still one of the biggest supporters for his cause, but please if you are called upon to play big in the Big Game, please catch it. I know your capable of doing it, you did a lot in Texas. That block was phenomenal though, keep that up big time.

Originally I thought that was Holmes, but then as he turned over I saw the 4 and got all pumped up. Of course his antics did cost us at least 3 points but I still believe in his ability to become a big play threat.

Apologies
Weird that some dude in Seattle lays into me with the big F-U. If he could read, I stated, objectively that this Pittsburgh team is legitimately better. I apologize for responding in kind.
That 2005 ref job was horrendous. Sure it still rankles. Sure teams have their ups and downs. I was here when the Sonics won it all in ‘79, so imagine what it would feel if the Steelers were going to be shipped off to Oklahoma City next year. That stinks as much as the Brown becoming the Ravens. The Huskies won the NCAA Football title in 1991. And, guess what, check out Big Ben’s stats in ‘05 VS Hasselbeck’s. It wasn’t close. That game was a friggin’ gift to your city. If SteelerInSeattle hates it so much in the
Northwest, there is such a thing as a one way ticket home.
No apologies for an objective assessment of 2005. Back to the original challenge. Let’s see if the 2009 Steelers can take care of business without the help of corrupt Pittsburgh residing referees. That ain’t trolling.

I saw the ref lay the block that sprung Willie Parker on that Super Bowl record TD run. I also saw another ref pay off your safeties to play too close to the line on that play. Otherwise, what could explain such a phenomenal defensive breakdown by a so-called Super Bowl contender?

SeattleSmac
if you believe, in the slightest, that the refs cost you the Super Bowl then grow the hell up or shut the hell up.
First off, perhaps they made some bad calls in that game but none of them were huge or something I would define as game changing. The NFL apologized to the Steelers after the 2005 Indy playoff game for bad officiating yet they still won. seattle did not lose by 1, 3, or 7 points. It was an 11 point difference, refs didn’t make that happen. GROW UP! Even if it was the worst officiated game of all time (which it wasn’t even close to be being) then I would reply with IT WAS YEARS AGO!
If you wanna talk trash like that then take it over to a Seahawks blog, but don’t come over to a Steelers blog just to bring up a ridiculous subject. Like I said, grow up or shut up.

It almost wasn't fun to watch this game because...
I got so worked up when Chris K. got that penalty. I also yelled at the TV a few times when Willie “what’s the snap count?” Colon false started twice. But I gotta hand it to those guys. They really held tough against a strong Raven rush.
I’m torn. Not sure if I give the MVP to Ben or Troy. Both did outstanding work. If Sweed hadn’t dropped that pass Ben would have been over 300 yards for the game.
Arghhhhhh!!! I’m finally coming down from my adrenalin dump!!!! Here we Steelers here we go!!!!

Or how about telling the media that you are going to “kill” a player because he laid a clean block on a Bengal…….you know, like Suggs does (or was that Scott?).
Or putting a bounty on opposing players……….you know, like pretty much your whole defense did.
Don’t make me bring up the whole Chris Johnson hit either…..
Get real. The Steelers haven’t done much all year that can be considered classless except for the occasional unnecessary roughness call which everyone does. Hines wasn’t being classless. The Ravens talked all week about how they want to play the Steelers, how hungry they were for them. All he said was “they wanted us and they got us.”
Faux sense of superiority? First off, I don’t believe we have a sense of superiority but even if we did it might be because we have 5 super bowls and are only second to the Cowboys in super bowl appearances. O yea, we beat you guys 3 times this year too.
Ravens fans like you give the good ones a bad name (most of the ones on the Beatdown are classy, and thats our definition of classy, not yours).

I Knew we would win when...
As soon as they actually called a hold involving James Harrison. I Immediately stood up, and said god is on our side. That moment sealed it for me.
Sure as heck made up for the horrid ref’in the rest of the game.

he wasn't
on our side, but he showed he was paying attention when the hold was called.
good to know. :-)
Whatever it takes!

I felt the same way
it was kind of similar to when Ike got that INT in the Cowboys game…
I’m like, things are gonna go our way.

sad, but i think thats what some cant get over
theres nothing else possible to not like as a 2nd year coach.

Joke
Dont understand how he can hate Tomlin and his choices for his assistants. He sounds like Faneca did after they hired Tomlin. Makes no sense how he can hate that decision when hes been so full of class

Could it be the color of his skin Mr. Ethan objects to?

To quote Coach Tomlin from the Dallas game, this was a beautiful game. The boys showed their mettle.
