Pittsburgh Steelers 30, Miami Dolphins 24 - Post-game celebration and scoreboard watching thread

PrintWillie Parker and Ike Taylor came up big when it mattered in a win desperately needed to keep the Pittsburgh Steelers' dwindling play-off hopes alive. We're needing losses from Baltimore, New York (B) and Denver to make it in. Still, stranger things have happened. For now, I'm celebrating a winning season. Sound off!

So we go from one nailbiter of a game
To an entire evening of waiting on other teams
"That's why they play the game."
I didn't think BA did too bad this game!
Are secondary on the other hand just plain sucks balls! Oh yeah…and fuck you New England!

looks like the Raiders didnt sell out since the game isnt on TV here in the Bay Area.
I might just head over there and try to score some tickets for cheep and really root for the Ravens loss.
+1000
would be UGLY

troy will be back though
Steelers football is 60 mins.

troy could be back by that time.
wouldnt fix everything but it would help.
plus other teams will have very little film to watch of our defense with troy from this season. 4 games is really not a lot… we could be dangerous

why does denver need to lose?
don’t we win the tie-breaker with the head-to-head victory?
so denver goes in first due to conference record, then houston beats us by way of common opponents or something?
correct

I understand the rules...
…but how could a tiebreaker system be set up when to where a team with the same record will get in over a team that beat it.
When you phrase it like that
it sounds totally ridiculous
steelers
have proven they are better than DEN on the field…therefore, Houston should have to prove that they are better than DEN one way or another (i.e., division record). And then from there, if Houston did that, then you’d look at the metrics for a PIT/HOU tie-breaker. That seems like the most logical way…
Any head to heads...
should be used as a first stage of the tie breaker b/w 3+ teams. And if they all beat each other (like what happened with Texas, OU, and Texas Tech last year), then you start somewhere else.
Agree.
But is there even a logical argument otherwise? Am I missing something?
And why the heck would common games be less important than conference record…especially when conference records are influenced heavily by division records and often the teams fighting for the spot are in different divisions?
common games are important . . . but games that apply to ALL three teams . . . denver never played houston . . . so the head to head scenario can't apply . . . you have to use the same criteria for all tied teams . .. not use head to head for two . . .
. . . and different criteria for the other teams involved . . . the tie breaking criteria has to be equal to all teams that are tied . . .
I would argue that...
…conference records are not equal criteria b/c the tied teams don’t play the same conference opponents. The only criteria that would be the same would be common games.
No Dixon?
What I don’t understand from this game is the absence of Dennis Dixon after Ben got injured. Burning time off the clock constitutes a strong running game, so why not add another option to let the QB keep a few and run down the clock?
Plus, throwing with a hurt shoulder can easily lead to permanent injury, why risk destroying an investment with 7 years to go?
ben keeps the playoff hopes alive
while dixon could throw a pick 6
It's a head injury but he must not be too bad.
According to news reports, they didn’t use a chopper to take him to the hospital; meaning that the injury wasn’t severe enough.
I'm still happy if we don't make it.
I’m not going to bitch or whine. I think today was a solid outing. One that reassured us of our flaws. We’ll know what we want in April.
If for some chance we DO get in. I’ll be buying pitchers for all my Charger friends tonight.

Damn the Patriots!!!!!
I’m so mad at the damn PATRIOTS….it’s bullshit how they blew a 14 point lead in the 4th Quarter and let the Houston Texans take our spot……damn.
Brady's interception late in the 4th was so bad
it was almost as if he was giving Houston the ball.

Clean hit & congratulations on sidelines
Hello guys, grats on this victory!
Just wanted to ask, what you guys feel about some teammate congratulating Ike Taylor on his hit?
I think hit was a clean one, but that high-five on sidelines officially moved Steelers a couple of spots up in my hate-list.
I am not looking for a flame war here, but can you please comment on this?
i dont know if they noticed he was out while they were celebrating
did you see the replay? there were like 5 Steelers players and Mike Tomlin that actually noticed immediately who were very concerned….

Probably telling him to get better so he could play them again. Those guys are so competitive they jive about coming back and make light of injury situations.

Sure, actually i think Tomlin said something about Pat White to Miami players and coaches
Just speaking about high-five, that CBS showed couple of plays later, when Steelers’ offense was on field already.
No, i am not a troller, just wanted to ask for your opinion.
I will disappear soon.
My opinion is this....
Ike had a good hit and once the Steelers realized White was hurt all attention was on him being safe. It looked to me like Ike was upset as he sat and watched White being helped. We have never been a team that was glad to see an opponent hurt.
well if it was a couple play LATER....then how were they celebrating that hit?

It's football, man.
Looked like they all were praying for him, but once it was apparent he was not seriously injured, I think its okay to congratulate a teammate for a good play.

No.
Get over your loss, will ya?
Quit looking for nothing.
No, i am okay with loss
Better team won today, thats for sure.
I didn't realize that there were any teams left
where the Steelers weren’t at the top of the hate list (or at least in the top 3)
Good teams bring a lot of haters – New England’s haters have grown & San Fran’s have shrunk this decade.

So if KC and Oakland come up with wins Cincy gets to make a choice.
If they lose, its Steelers in the first round. If they win its the Jets, which they will get a really decent look at this week.
I think Bengals are going to tank it. Who knows, maybe those two wins they got over the Steelers this year brings them enough confidence to make an effort tonight.
Good point
If it comes down to Cinci getting to decide who they play, would they rather play the NYJ two weeks in a row, or play the Steelers who they’ve beaten twice that season.
Overall, I say they’d play to win in case they face NE in the post-season.
Sanchez or Big Ben?? Not a choice.
by DwightWhite's Missing Tooth on Jan 3, 2010 5:52 PM EST up reply actions
Yeah, but NYJ defense
might be a little more intimidating right now than ours…
Bengals are going to play
With a win, they will get Pitt or Houston in the first round; San Diego in the 2nd; and a chance to have a home game in the Conf. Championship. The Jets defense is good enough and the Bengals offense bad enough that they would not want the Jets.
If they get down by 2 or more TDs they will put in the backups.

THERE IS NOTHING TO CELEBRATE!!
I personally dont see anything to celebatre finishing 9-7 and out of the POs.
This is actually the worst scenario possible. We were basically the bubble boys (poker anyone?) , and with those last 3 wins, we will probably stick to Arians one more year and we won’t have a good position in the draft. We also didnt try our rookies enough and not much has been fixed anyway despite the victories, so wtf is to celebrate? Do u think the steelers will be hungrier next year by sliping a bit then by getin’ ripped off? No way. I prefer this team to get schooled, have my awfull OC out, a top 15 draft position and my rookies more experienced 1000 times more. With so much shit to fix after that dreadfull 5 loss streak we would never win the SB this year. What the hell is good about finishing 9-7 then? Ridiculous…
See ya in 9 months wankers!

"Sick Puppy is ultimately as unforgiving as nature's order... There is no redemption or apology." - wikipedia
I didnt quit in week 14. I just understood after losing 5 games including oakland, kansas and cleveland that extreme measures had to take place and this team had no business going to playoffs with so much to be fixed. Having hope is cute but winning SBs is the only thing that matters in the business, and none of u can possibly believe we would stand a chance going to the SB this season after an absurdly inconsistent regular season. We deserve to be out, and if so, I prefer to go out 6-10 than 9-7! Im so right!
6-10 would have been good for the 9th draft pick; we will pick 18th with a Jets win or 19th with a Jets loss. I don’t know if that will make much difference with the draft since teams are picking to fill positions after the first few. There are always a few players that stand out that go in the top 10; so it may.
However, the Steeler players coming back in 2010 will be coming back to a winning team that missed the playoffs by 2 tie-breakers (and no losses by more than 7). New players will be joining a team that is 1 year removed from the Super Bowl Champs that just missed the playoffs. The drive to succeed will be back. A 6-10 team will think that going 10-6 and making the playoffs is a good season. Next year’s team will want 13-3 and the division.
All in all, the team will be better off with this finish than a 8 game losing streak.
"Sick Puppy is ultimately as unforgiving as nature's order... There is no redemption or apology." - wikipedia
So you don’t think a winning season is worth anything.? I remember growing up in the 80’s and being 8-8 was a good year, I am sorry you do not feel the same way but every team is always out to beat the champs, though our teams play was not great throughout the year, our key players had career years, and we had some key injuries. Pitt is a great franchise but will not win the superbowl every year nor wil they make the playoffs every year, but by your logic, any of those years they should lay down in order to get better draft picks… I am sorry Mr. Colbert does pretty well with the picks he gets. Or will you disagree? I am sorry I will get off my soapbox, but though we are not in the playoffs I am happy Tomlin got his 3rd winning season in as many years… Good day sir

I do understand why most here prefer to finnish +.500 then the opposite, I think its great,it says a lot about your character. Thumbs up. The problem is the ego and confort involved does not overcome the fact we will stick to BA one more year, we didnt play most of our rookies enough, we didnt made reasonable changes in approach and we wont have such a good spot on draft day. Basically , the bravato of our ending season wont help us in 10/11 as much as a huge shake up that should actually have started much earlier then week 14. Basically, 9-7 makes u feel better today, but might not make us a better team next season..

GOOD BYE STEELERS
Last year’s champion, this year’s bums. No one to blame but yourself for that dumb 4 games losing streak. KCs seem like giant upsetters. Only 4 wins but wins against Pittsburgh (Steelers need 1 more victory) and Denver today, knocked both out of the playoffs.
Well we won't win teh SB this year
so that means we won’t suck next year.

that he will change his name back to Johnson if Revis shuts him down tonight.
