I want to see an all Pennsylvania Super Bowl. How many times have there been that chance of happening? (04 comes to mind) In fact, this century has seen the PA teams in more CCGs than ever.

Nice thougt until you remember what the Eagles did to the Steelers last time they played.

O-line sure hasn't gotten any better.

Or did you mean that Ben wouldn't survive that many hits again? :lol:

Are you serious? are you really serious? Yeah, I can see the score. But with 14 sounds like the kinda score ben produces.

Have you even taken a GLANCE at this season? If Ben is hurt in any playoff game, it will in no way decrease our chances at a victory. I can absolutely guarantee that.

When is the last time Ben went out in a game, and our offense did worse?

I took into account the OC...... This does not necessarily imply the outcome would have been different with Ben playing the entire game.

It's interesting people are commenting about the offense performing better under Lefty (which I don't necessarily agree with), yet hardly anyone is screaming to start him. Yet due to the concussion, if there is a game I think Lefty should start, it's this first playoff game.


Ah, I guess we are in agreement then. Shame is, Tomlin is too scared to make a ballsy decision like that.

For the record, I wasn't necessarily screaming for it, but I was certainly calling for Lefty to start.

He looked reasonably decent against that tough Balt d other than a couple "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU THINKING?!?" plays, though that was mostly because of Arians actually calling :o SHORT PASSES.

But after the game in Tenn, I'm pretty much screaming. :supissed:

Ben is streakier than Will Ferrell in old school (awful reference, I know), and I'm fucking sick of it.


It's possible that Tomlin already knows Byron will start in the Div. round, but wants to wait until game day to make the public call, forcing our opponent to scheme for two QBs. p.s. I've been saying Ben looks like Will Ferrell for years.

Not me. I hate the Iggles (and, for that matter, the Phillies, Flyers, Sixers, and 87% of Philly fans).

Outside of our division, there's no team I dislike more than the Iggles....ok, maybe the Cowboys......

Though the D is great and everything else going on I believe that the 2 biggest factors that will determine how far we go will be

1. How well the O-Line plays
2. How well the QB plays.

Nothing else will matter as much.

Every team we play will come at both of them with the kitchen sink in hand.

I hate N.E. and Dallas then any team with Favre on it. The Eagles do not really affect us that much unless we go to the big dance I do think McNabb is over rated though and the fans cry too much.

I'm pulling for Baltimore to win just because, as I've posted previously, I want to see a Steelers/Ravens AFCC game... Assuming Pittsburgh can get there.
