Status quo in Pittsburgh; Super Bowl within reach

You think they're in love with the Ravens now? Wait until Lewis' seizuring-entrance dance . . .

At the very least, we should be trying to knock the snot out of the Ratbirds, 1 game minimum. 2 would be nice, but if anything would redeem this team, that would be it, and the rest will be down hill.

I was watching NFLN, and everyone's favorite A-hole, Warren Sapp, was saying that the Steelers were no longer "elite". His rationale (get this): "They were a wildcard team." He went on to say that the division winners were elite.

Sooo...a 12-4 wildcard team (who had been to the SuperBowl the year prior) is not as good as an 8-8 division winner. Got it.

That dude is just plain dumb.

Warren should stick to what he knows best:
1. Choking women in public
2. 1 colored jumpsuits
3. Befriending more convicts from "The U"

i think this year's team will be better than last. hell, we had a championship team last year until injuries took over imo

even if wallace is a no-go this year, i feel really good about this year's team. our passing attack will still be one to be reckoned with. AB, sanders, cotch are already a decent squad, but don't forget about heath and rainey (if he's as impressive on the field as reports have been, he'll be a big part of our offense) either

4. Bankruptcy.

Bankrupt and still finding the money to buy $10k suits.

Ray Ray is lighter? Cool, DeCastro and Adams should be able to knock the snot out of him on the guard pulling plays. I am so stoked. Can't wait to see the first preseason game Thursday to see how they do. I went on NLF.com and bought their preseason package for $19.99 so I can watch it live. WOO HOO !!!!!

[steelfury02]

yea but Ray will make the pro-bowl on reputation alone anyways - don't you know he has the most tackles after the play is over ever?

Yes, Ray-Ray lost weight because the NFL has evolved into a passing league and he wants to "change with the game." It might help him some in coverage. But how will it help him stopping the run? How will it help the Suggs-less pass rush?
