What's Better Than Beating The Ravens In The Playoffs?

Oh, I'd have to say seeing Tom Brady sitting on the sidelines late in the game looking beat after the Steelers beat the Ravens in the playoffs. I do love to see the Hated Patriots lose. We'll get back to them in a bit.

I have to say, I've learned how to be a Steelers fan in the last few years. You have to keep believing. Sure, I was looking on the internet for the best ways to commit suicide, but then I thought, "Calm down, get a grip man, these are the Steelers for God's sake". They do take you to the edge of an ulcer at times.

B.S. call on Hines. I was getting set for another game against the refs, but was pleasantly surprised by thier lack of impact on the game. Yes, I believe that was a holding on the kick return. The ref that threw the flag threw it from the other side of the play from the replay. When I was watching the return live, I thought that was a hold with the different camera angle.

I know Suggs did a lot of talking and had that shirt, but he seems to have matured some. I thought the way he said things in the media was much better than in years past. I even saw him an Ben talking on the field and it appeared friendly. After watching the jets game, I have a feeling a lot of the disrespect this, and disrespect that, might, just might, have been fostered by Bart Scott. Way to take a victory well Bart.

I read the fanpost about King and I have to agree with those who don't think too highly of him. I see a journalist who goes hard on players who don't speak to him on a regular basis and ignores the shortcomings of those who do. Sure, he picked the Steelers and the Packers at the beginning of the season, but his fine fifteen yo-yos like a fourthgrader was deciding who was good based on very narrow windows of information. He is way too in love with Brady and Belichick. My God, can you immagine if the Hated Patriots had recovered that first onside kick (I want you to picture the inside of the internet aid trailer at the end of the South Park episode where the internet went down)? I think King tries to hard to elevate Belichick, Brady and the Patriots and downplay the fact they are proven cheaters (Oh, by the way, didn't I say I thought the Patriots were still cheating a little while back? Well Patriot smoochers, what do you have to say now?) I too think King should have given the Steelers more love in his column.

I think all the broadcasters should have. How many of you caught Berman and that FAT BAG OF GUTS Tom Jackson after the Patriots loss? Jackson's comment about the Steelers maybe winning three super bowls without having to play the Patriots, arguably the best team in the last decade? ESPN's NFL Prime Time has gone to the dogs and I can't figure out if Burman and Jackson have come across this bias themselves or are being directed to it by the management.  Any way you look at it, NFL Prime Time sucks, especially, the fat bag of guts.

Before I even read anything by King, I was going to write about Rashard. I don't care what anyone says, he has become a hell of a back. That second touchdown was pure will. Oh, and he made Ray miss in the hole too. Money. The man is a baller.

How about those young receivers? Limas, are you paying attention? I've been moreof an Antonio Brown fan than Sanders, just because of the underdog aspect of life, but both are great receivers. What is going to happen in their second year? Watch out. T.J., are you paying attention, you big cry baby?

I think Ray Lewis is done. He is not great anymore. He is just good. That defense has always been predicated on having one great linebacker in the middle and one good one to eat up blocks. Now their lacking. Watch for them to try to replace him some time soon. Don't get me wrong, I still think he is one of the best to ever play the game, if not the best.

It seems that the Steelersdevelop not only players, but O.C.s as well. I hear there is a hell of a leap in performance between their thirty-first year of coaching and their thirty-second.

Kugleron the other hand, masterful. I like the fact that injured players are kept around the team and kept contributing. With him coaching, I might consider playing O. tackle. This guy really needs some love from Steelers Nation.

This just in: James Harrison fined $100,000 for too many sacks.

I think Mike Tomlin said it best when he said everyone contributed for the win. Once again, he may be reissued his Mensa card.

I have to say, I think the Jets at home look pretty good. They just played the 25th defense in the NFL, now they have to play the second (Did the Chargers really have the best defense this year? Really?). I have a feeling they will have to game-plan more for Harrison, and Woodley will show up. I look for a great defensive showing on the part of the Steelers. Also, Ben will not perform any different if you put pressure on him like they did Brady.

Let them talk. Let them get emotional. They still have to play the game. Most opponents don't understand the level of intensity the Steelersbring in a playoff game. Can the Jets match it? I don't know if they know what is ahead of them, what with them already making the Super Bowl and all. What do you think Ryan is telling them today to get them to focus on the Steelers?

If Ryan thought Belichick was the best coach in the game, and Ryan beat him, does he think he is the best coach now?

Okay, I have wasted enough of your time and mine. Great win.

GO STEELERS!
