i dont know about obit but i called this, been calling it wrong for six fucking years, but i called it. time to revel in the win cause it may be awhile till the next. at least the browns end all hope by week 3 not week 13
Put the bag back on your head Munoz
Wait, That’s the sound of one-hand clapping.
Steeler fans should be a little worried that Matt Millen likes their personnel!
Is it too late to come here to point and laugh?
“30% grew up elsewhere but raised by parents from Western PA”
Also guilty. I grew up in Chicago. Imagine my surprise at my first live Steeler game when good old Jeff shanks a couple and the place goes apeshit.
I really would like the bandwagon to die. The team plays better when the entire nation thinks they can’t be a threat. They’ll still travel better than anyone else in the league even when they post a losing season. I was worried about this year. This team, this organization in the last 10 years, has a tough time showing up for the easy wins, and seems to play the best when all the odds are stacked against them.

Use “<" instead of "("
I think the answer is more Dennis Dixon. Since he can line up as a QB, WR, or RB threat, we can nickname him Slash.

Guilty.
If missing the playoffs is the price of winning a Super Bowl every few years, oh fucking well. I will remain faithful to the Black and Gold!!

“Though to be honest, didn’t see them collapsing against the Raiders and Browns. Thats shocking.”
“So basically, it’s like I said, you didn’t call it. STFU.”

obit, you kinda got owned right there.
Steelers this year just like Packers last year. High expectations after a great season (altho the Pack only got to the NFC Champ game in Brett’s last game) then lost 6 of their last 7 games last year to go 6-10.
Ravens fans shouldn’t gloat too much either. I witnessed them Monday night and the Packers shut them down almost totally. Only way they scored was two very “iffy” PI penalties in the end zone. Met a bunch of nice Ravens fans touring Lambeau Tuesday though.
Ape – Sorry about your season but I look forward to the resulting hate keeping us warm through the rest of the year. It’s like an early Christmas present. Give ‘em Hell.
Bitter Ape = Better Content
@Ape: Good point, I suppose.
Interested in a rewrite, then, someone?
The loss was painful. Friends who are also Browns fans called me to gloat and it rather sucked.
There, just for you big guy.
Would you like a rewrite, then, someone? I can oblige just this once.
It was painful and I got a conference call from friends who are Browns fans and it sucked.
Voila. Just for you, big guy.
As a Browns fan, I actually prefer the Steelers to the Who Dey douche bags…talk about band wagon fans. Fun fact, since the Browns rejoined the league in 1999, the Browns and Bengals have won the same amount of playoff games (i.e., 0).
Sending Big Ben to Jenny Craig in the off-season might be more effective than firing the offensive coordinator…
Beaten by the Mangidiot?!
Asking, then answering, rhetorical questions in your comments? Still retarded.
As a Bengals fan, this pleases me. Not in a ‘fuck the steelers’ sort of way. In a ‘do you know how hard it is to beat a good team three times in one season?’ way. Now if the Ravens can miss the playoffs, the Bengals will be set.
/Still losing to the Chargers at home in the second round. Sigh.
/munches scone
//regards Redskins, bruises face with palms
Yet another devastating loss for my team, certainly. Was it painful – of course it was. Did I get a conference call from Browns-fan friends after the game? You bet. But you know what? The Steelers have won two SB’s in the past four seasons and therefore I cannot complain too much or too long. The Browns (and Chiefs and Raiders) can have their wins. I will take the rings, thanks.
Even after a heartbreaking loss, Ape grabs his lunchpail and goes to work, scrappily defending his boys with the familiar blue collar, workaday grit that Pittsburgh has seen in its denizens and indeed its football team since the town’s very conception.
If PJ rushes for some dumbass line like 60 yards on 20 carries again, I am officially going to start worrying about my Purple Penetrators.
I have no beef with actual Steelers fans, but this the current census of Steeler Nation.
10% currently reside in western PA
20% grew up in western PA, but now live out of state
30% grew up elsewhere but raised by parents from Western PA
40% have no geographical ties to western PA, but have jumped on the bandwagon in past few years with the two recent Super Bowl victories, and will now abandon Steelers for another team.

The scary thing right now is that the only thing that separates the Steelers from the Bills is a competent QB. Super Bowl champs to the Bills in less than a year? House can’t even come up with an obscure disease to reference.
C’mon 289, Trent Edwards is not that competent.
@RBP – I think Dick Lebeau’s false teeth came flying out.
I don’t think Sportscenter actually has “highlights” from that game.
@Zone: Yeah, the Bengals will get raped by purple jesus IF Brittfar doesn’t commence to GUNSLINGIN for three quarters
I won’t say anything because there’s a chance right now that the Pats could be headed for the same fate.
On the bright side, the Steelers are still better than the Skins and your record of 6 Lombardi trophies is in absolutely no danger.
So Ape sells out by dating a Masshole, and now both his beloved Stillers and her hometown Greatriots are in freefall. Rather poetic, if you ask me.
NFL Network goes with regional/division rivalries to try and drum up some interest for their games but so far it hasn’t worked.
/their Draft coverage is still better than ESPN’s.
Honestly, this didn’t feel as good as I thought it would. Maybe it’s because we’re 2 and frickin’ 11 and still six Super Bowl rings behind the Steelers…
G.G….why the fuck would I pay a cent to watch anything happen in Cleveland, outside of the Lebron announcing he’s going to play for the Knicks?
/ Understands the shit storm he could potentially catch for bring up the Knicks
/ Tom Brady has infant sized genitals.
