I see. I over estimated your intelligence. You were implying that there was success to be had running the football on BALTIMORE!!!

I see. I over estimated your intelligence. You were implying that there was success to be had running the football on BALTIMORE!!!

What is it with this guy.....

I'll try again; maybe read more slowly this time. There were more yards to be gained by the Stiller running game, if we didn't run a light, lone back right into the teeth of the Baltimore D every single time. Mix in some outside runs, mix in the I formation.

[Steeledge Profile]

Not complaining about running the ball. Complaining about HOW we ran the ball. You don't run Willie Parker straight up the gut every time. Mix in some outside runs, or put Willie in the I.

Now THAT's a good point...

Where THE FUCK was McHugh as a blocking FB on those plays up the middle?

Where THE FUCK was the pitch-out to Willie to get him quickly to space?

Willie was NEVER worth A FUCK this entire season when operating as the lone back up the gut, not even against San Diego in the Divisional game. His success in that game can almost entirely be attributed to McHugh, yet WHERE THE FUCK WAS HE?!?!?

It's all on Arians, and it's like he NEVER FUCKING LEARNS FROM ONE WEEK TO THE NEXT!!!

Still Mill,

I declare you an angry fool. I've read your nonsense for way too long, and today I wake up and read your b.s. for one more day, on a day we should all be celebrating. Your grades are ridiculous, even without you re-watching the game. An F for Arians? C'mon, even I see that this guy is subpar, even terrible at times, but we did get a lot of yards, on offense, against a goddamn great defense. And Sweed gets an F? C'mon, he did keep the game from being a 2 point game by breaking up that poor Ben throw. C- for LeBeau?!! I thought you were at the game? Please shut up from now on. Your little rants are no longer enjoyable, nor objective. Seriously, shut up. Let the rest of us enjoy our Super Bowl.

Hines Ward for president!

Uh, thanks for exposing yer ignorance for all to see. Yer quite apparently a fuking idiot. Run along now....there are plenty of juvenilish message boards out there that will be more than happy to cater to your no-brained, Arians-like mindset.

Wow. Seriously? Man, your a bad ass! Which part of my comments bugged you the most? The part where I say Baltimore's a great defense? That Sweed deserved better than an F? Sorry buddy, but I come here because this is the only board to get quality dialogue going. Seeing as you are the guy writing the most, seems the least you could do is report as objectively as possible. Do I think you're a grumpy ol' man? Yeah, I guess so. But that's because you are. You take the J out of Joy, Millie. Do I think you'll consider anything I've said here? No. But I sure do enjoy getting under your skin. Now go run to the corner store for some fresh Pampers.

Oh, yeah. Hines Ward for president!

Mill will pick 3 or 4 plays where Farrior made mistakes, outline him to his liking knowing full well no one cares enough to go back and look at said plays, and then make Farrior out to be the worst player in the world for it. Yet, if I didn't have a life and had more free time, I could easily go back and do the same exact thing for every player on the field, for both teams, for every game this season.

He seems to think that because he shows anecdotal evidence of something, then he MUST be right (screw context, screw the other 40 plays that player was involved in).

Funny, this is the exact same bullshit rationalization that was bandied about for years by the GAA (GilDong Apologists Association). And funny, we here at Stillers.com was correct on the pussyfied, horseshit play by Big Jason. I don't fawn and waste time on PRO players making ROUTINE plays. I isolate on the the good and the bad, and in Farrior's case, the bad has been simply wretched. Farrior has been an over-hyped, over-adulated turd, and it showed again vs. the Ravens. I highly suspect it will be shown again on the big stage in Tampa.

Now, shut the fuk up and run back to the GAA.

Man. and here i was thinking Farrior lead the team in tackles. But according to you, and only you, that's worth nothing.

In Mill's "Defense", he did go back and changed the DC grade to a B. Now, on the other hand, in Mill's keys for beating the Ravens, the defense went out and did nearly everything listed and that itself should merit at least a B+ or A-. On that note, I would like to point out that this is invalid ...

"It wasn’t a terribly long march, but 58-yards is no gimme for an offense and Dick allowed an anemic, 1-dimensional offense to march those 58 yards in the 4Q while they were down by 9.

...was assisted by a PI call against the Stees, putting the Ravens on the ONE YARD LINE. Yeah, I know. They shoulda stopped em on the 1, yadda yadda. The other team gets paid too, as they say.

Most of the long-time readers understand and appreciate that Mill has become somewhat a parody of himself, but if he stands infront of your Super Bowl enjoyment, then I suggest you look elsewhere.

In other news, I ran across this today - pretty cool!

I find i usually agree with most of still mills rants and raves...not always the wording.

The Steelers definitely could have gotten more yards running on the ravens...did they need to ...probably...they clinched it due to some heroics...it would have been much better to contorl the turf wars.

They do not have the blockers to run some of the great screens or even some of the traps that worked for franco and rocky...their line is not that quick or that good at getting their blocks dowfield..but if a run outside with a lead blocker get you 6+ yards...please find a way to return to it until they can stop it for less than six...Arians likes to mix it up...and their is value in that...but why give up on plays that work...they did this during the super bowl that they loss...it infuriated me...when I could see their were plays working.

I think Arians deserves a low grade from Tomlin and should be challenged to make in game adjustments in the Super Bowl...I think they can control the clock on the cards the way they did against san diego...and limiting the cards chances is their best way to win!

Go Stillers

[real steeler fan Profile]

Ok. i have been reading this site since the "gildong" years, and i finally felt compelled to right something of my own. (mainly because i just learned i could comment back on "the still mills comments.")

let me first start off by saying. i have read the rules and what i had to comply with, just to get access to comment on this board, and i can comply. but it seems to me the very manager of this site, cannot... i cannot seem to get by one comment from the "still mill" without him using obscenity, vulgarity, or bigotry, that are in a threatening manner. all violations of the rules.... it leaves me with no choice, but not to take his article with any kind of credibility.

But aside from that, i have to give him credit for one thing, as much as i hate his articles, i can't stop reading, and i do like other aspects of the site. (mainly the news, and the other writers.)

but on to football... My first question, is what the hell credibility does the "still mill." have to be grading our beloved steelers players, as to if his grading is that of the most importance, or better than the coaches that are paid millions of dollars to do so. its one thing to grade the players, for the fun of it and even in his own way, but to act as if his article is one that cannot be contended with. is just a complete farce. by the way he grades, it wouldn't surprise me if this man has never coached a sport, or even put on a pair of pads himself. it is clear based on his grading he knows nothing of the sport. and i even question if he is steeler fan at all. he is probably a poser browns fan, littering this site with his trash.

for one anyone that was truly grading players, you would know you grade using a different film than the ones the networks, show, because you only see a little bit of what's going on with the overall field. but to still mills defence he doesn't have the beta tapes the professional use, so i can understand his limit grading, but to act as if he knows more than the professionals, based on the little he sees on the network films is just moronic.

secondly.. his constant schtick to find one linebacker a year to pic on is just boring. he may have hit gold with "gildong" in his last two years with the team, but his rants on farrior are just plan wrong. yes farrior is not the best linebacker in football, yes he is o the down side of his career, and yes he makes plenty of mistakes, but he still is a very good linebacker. am i to believe that the 5 plays a game you see on network film, that you grade has more credibility, than the coaches on the steelers, the writers in the media, the players he plays against, and the coaches he plays against. please. your not even in there same jock strap. a defence's takes about 50-60 snaps a game, and he is on the field for 90% or more of them, and what your not seeing is the plays that don't go his way. sure its easy to point out the 2 times todd heap burns him for 20 yards, but what about the 5 other times flacco tries to go to heap, but can't because farrior is in position. and the ball goes elsewhere.

with the steelers running a 3-4 and needing 4 starting linebackers each year and having 3 good ones already. the option is to resigning, foote, farrior, look elsewhere, or hope we get a gem in this coming years draft. that would be ready to play out the gate...based on those options, and knowing farrior was very signable, and still productive solid player. i like the move. and don't worry about timmons. he gets more snaps every game, and when foote's contract is up. he will start, if not sooner.

thirdly. still mill wants to discredit cowher, and lebeau... well after 14 years of coaching the steelers, at some point it wasn't luck, it was cowher's coaching and cowher's player's that lead to a very sucsessful career, that other teams would die to have (and they have tried) and one could argue that its mostly cowher's players that have gotten tomlin to his first superbowl... that being said. i love tomlin so far. yes harrison was dropped a few times, but no one else picked him up, so remember it was cowhers staff that found him, and every chance there was to give him a roster spot, he was back on the team... sometimes good unknown players, it becomes a numbers game, until its there time to shine.... and lebeau doesn't have the number one defence by pure luck. top qb's seem to have trouble throwing ever week against this unit, and there scheme.

finally. i am estatic, that our beloved steelers are playing for a 6th championship, and 7th superbowl, after playing a schedule that was picked as the toughest in 70 year of nfl. players are human they all make mistakes, but if they make the least amount of mistakes, and play as a "team" thats what's going to get you championships. even if you individually are not the best player... in football you team is only as good as your worst player, and you develop schemes based on talent, where your best players are in position to make the most plays, and you do your best to hide you weakest player... something that "still mill" obviously knows nothing about.

p.s leave sweed alone for now. he is a rookie that has hardly seen a field in two years (remember his last year in college he was hurt almost all year.) yes he is struggling, but that doesn't mean he will always stink. i thought after his drop, h recovered nicely, and hardly warrented a "f" from still mill.

real steeler fan:

All of your points are valid, except for one little caveat....you're operating on the assumption that this is a Steeler fan site. Don't worry, it's a common mistake. I mean, the black and gold color scheme, the "Stillers.com" title, the Steeler-themed aliases; they all do point to that being the case. And at one time that probably was the intent.

But alas, 'tis no more. Now, it is merely a thinly veiled ego trip for Still Mill. His articles, once defensible, have now been reduced to purposely orchestrated troll-bait, written with the purpose of drawing out the naysayers so Mill can ban them from atop his virtual throne. He knows that the posters who aren't on his side will come to the surface if he continually rips on Lebeau. So he'll make that the focus of his articles. They call him out, he bans them. He lives for that rush of power. Why else would he continue writing in the manner he does?

And yet, there are those of us out there that see through the mirage, but have mechanisms in place that do not allow us to be banned. Those of us that know what the site once was and yearn for a return to that time.

He'll ban this username like the others. But he has no idea just how many of the currently active posters on this site are run by me.

[real steeler fan Profile]

well than i wonder just how long it will take before he bans me and/or removes my post. in the same breath. how long it will be before he violates his own rules and call me some name. but that would only prove my point.... however as long as i am on here. i will adhere to his rules, but call him out on his articles, that show his complete ignorance. as he calls out, our beloved steelers.

there were so much more i could have pointed out about his grading system, and the players/coaches. but i figured this was a good start, and was long enough already.


go steelers.

[Hines' Pearly Whites Profile]

You already have broken his rules by calling him out. Sure, those rules aren't written into the Terms of Service, but that hasn't mattered here in a long, long time.

[thesteelhammer Profile]

(Posts have been deleted from this thread because they encouraged posters to break board rules and instructed on how to create additional user accounts for the purpose of trolling.)

Gentlemen,

Criticizing Mill's [url]writing[/url] is NOT a violation of any board rules. Feel free to do it. (I do.)
His name calling is something the mods of this board have previously warned him about & asked him to curtail - at least on the board, since we have no say in what he writes in his articles.

Crosby (AKA Hine'sPearlyWhites),
You have been allowed to exist as Hine'sPearlyWhites because you have not violated board rules under that user name until now. Now that you have used that Alias to encourage other posters to ignore our rules, that user name has been banned. We are sure you have other usernames as well. You are free to post under them - until you break the rules - then they will be banned. (It takes me 20 seconds - compared to the amount of time it takes you to create a email account and a new user name, 20 seconds is nothing.) We hope you will choose to post about football.
