Saying "You suck" is talking smack.

Stating an opininion about how someone thought you got outplayed because the Titans had 2 scoring opportunities before the Steelers got any and that they answered a 2 minute drill with a 1 minute drill at the end of the first half I see as far from smack.

Stating that a kicker rarely misses from within 40 yards in the NFL is far from smack.

Stating that the Ravens did not get "the piss kicked out of them" because both regular season games were decided in the last seconds on close calls, is far from smack.

I agree it might have been a bit early to question the win and done in the wrong forum. A frustrated fan venting in your celebration is perhaps in poor taste, but nothing he said was incorrect or disrepectful to the team or individuals. Once again, it is your world and the "months of letting him slide" (which I find to be doubtful) I assume means that a fan of another team shoudl not express his opinions here. Of course if that is the case, you should put that in the post heading, so there is no confusion.

Perhaps you not really "caring what I think" is the most telling point.....

Good luck this season. I "think" you will need it. (not smack)

Calls.

1. a holding on Starks was called in a huge situation, replay showed he never wrapped the guy, only fell on him....even Collinsworthless said it was a terrible call

2, No offensive pass interferance when Troy broke up that play at about the 15,,, infact he was called.

3. Troys INT he was face masked...not called.


Shut your pathetic mouths,,,, your team lost, they lost to a better team. Harp all day on how we cant run on your D.... only shows a team that cant run the ball can still kick your teams ass.. I wouldnt be so proud of that,

[steelwalls]

and wanna say it was the kicker????? he was toughted as the best in the league....no it wasent a fluke, he missed, he got rattled then was blocked (of all things) basicly every arguement a Titan fan would have as to how they 'should' have won is actuallt just a testiment to our team. Yes nit only did our D man handle you, we also have special teams now, something we had NONE of last year.

As me you guys were lucky to come away by only loosing by 3. At no point did I think the TiTTies would win.

My observation, and the observation of many on this forum, was that the Steelers were going to dominate this game from start to finish. There was no way that the Titans with Kerry Collins were going to be able to stand up to Big Ben and the best defenst in the NFL last year. As it turned out, the game came down to a coin toss and a couple poor field goal kicks. I guess the perspective from those living outside of Pittsburgh is that a team that talked so much (at least fans) didn't not walk as much. Beronis makes either kick and the game is over.

A win regardless. And in the end of the season, all that matters. Congrats to the towl and the people who wave it. I see no reason that Stover got banned. All that he said was not derogatory, but actual fact. I will be standing by for my ban as well.


Fansince76 I see your trigger finger as quite twitchy, but hey, this is your land, so do as you like.......

Go Ravens.......!

The game didn't just come down to two missed FGs and a coin toss - Ben also absorbed a 19 yard sack when they were in otherwise chipshot Reed FG range and forced a punting situation instead.

Ward also fumbled going for the endzone which forced the OT as well.

Anyone with an unbiased eye that watched the game could clearly see the Titans were reeling and desperate for their lives towards the end of the game. Ben drove us down the field twice at the end of the game at will. The OT was just a do-over for a mistake that Ward almost never makes, the Titans were "lucky" for that just as we were "lucky" for missed FGs.

If we take away all the most obvious lucky breaks on both sides, its 16-13 Titans at best with the Steelers 1st and goal inside the 10 with ~50 seconds left to go and two timeouts. I like I our chances there. It was a hard fought game, the Titans are good team, but you cannot convince me that luck had anything to do with our winning - we outplayed them when all said and done.

He's actually a Ravens fan. What's really laughable is that idiot troll that he came to defend and him both talking shit in spite of the fact that their team begged out of this game. At least the Titans had the balls to show up.

The refs still looked like they were in preseason mode. Lots of bad calls and non-calls seen on ty replay. With all the resources available to the NFL you would think they would find a fair way to officiate without having a striped crew resembling the entire Raider's organization. They need to have somebody or a crew up in the box reviewing the refs.

***Also, I cannot find the box scoring for the game anywhere on this forum or on the Steelers' website. Looking for yards/attempts, QB rating, and time of posession. Is it available anywhere online? I am not a fantasy guy, but just like stats and trend analysis. You have to look under a rock for meaningful stats for this team EXCEPT for Lombardi trophies.
