The Steelers have the hardest schedule in the league this up coming season. I feel that if they win the division again, watch out cause they are going to be tough to handle in the Playoffs. Any thoughts about any other schedule that is out there and what game are you looking forward too next season?
Ben Roethlisberger turned 26 on March 2nd got a nice Birthday present from the Pittsburgh Steelers. He got a new contract for 102 million over the next 8 years and a upfront guarantee of 36 million dollars. I am glad to the Steelers final give someone some money to keep him instead of doing the Rebuilding think. In my Eyes Big Ben is the Face of the New Steelers Generations. He is going to lead them to the Promise Land once again.
I would like to say now that the Pittsburgh Steelers have been cheated out of 2 superbowl rings that should be there's. The Patriots are a team that I fully disrespect. They cheated to win so they do not deserve any of ther superbowl rings. Sentor Spector stated the games that were filmed were the two AFC Title games and two regular season games. Tom Brady is not a great Quarterback in my book now cause he knew what defense was coming at him and was able to adjust and make himself look good. Proof is show in this year's superbowl, if the patriots had the Giants Signals that they would of won and Tom Brady would of hooked up with Randy Moss on more than once for a touchdown pass.
So to all of you out there that think Tom Brady is great, he is not, he is a liar and a cheater and does not deserve any of the rings that he has gotten.
Who would of thought in there right mind that the New England Patriots Offense would be dominated by the New York Giant Defense? Who in there right mind would of thought that the final score would be 17 to 14? Not in my Wildest Dreams did I see the game being that low of a score. I felt that the Patriots would run the table and it would be over at half time. Shows how much I know. I feel this was won of the best football games that I have seen in a long time. I would like to Congradulate Superbowl MVP Eli Manning for playing such a great game and stunning all of his critics. So the saying is that 16 and 0 dont mean a thing now that the Patriots dont have the Ring!!! In Closing I want to make a predication for next year. It is going to be the Year Ben Roethlisberger wins the MVP and helps the Steelers to there All time leading sixth Superbowl Title!
The Superbowl Match up is set and if you look at it I was close to having the right teams in it. In the AFC I the Patriots. I wish I would of picked them to go undefeated but couldn't. In the NFC I had the Right Division but wrong team. I still have to go with the Pat's in the bowl. I think the Giants have the tools to win, but Brady and foe are on a mission. I still think Randy Moss will win the MVP. He is going to show why he is a game changer. I love the turn around that he has made.
In the NFC I feel Brett will ride again for a 19th season. I think that Dallas proved they could be for real and I think that you have to watch out for the Saints to coming Marching in again Next year. The Bears have finally made the right choice in letting Kyle Orton compete for the starting job. I think that Philly has alot of problems to address and I think that Arizona could be the real deal if they get good QB play.
In the AFC I think that the Patriots will rise again. I do not think anyone will beat them right away. I feel the Chargers have a really good thing to build on now that they got the monkey of losing in the playoffs off there back. The colts will be great again no matter who there coach is and the Tuna will lead Miami back to the Process Land. Last but not least next year will be the year the steelers get back to the Superbowl. I will make a final wrap up of team needs after the Superbowl.
The newEngland Patriots are going to finish the season with a better win percentage that me. The should they are going to be tough to beat. But, they are who I thought they were. The Steelers will be at them in the Playoffs. I went 3 and 2 last week bring my record to 31 and 39. Still a shot with 3 weeks to play. MVP for Week 14 is going to be Drew Brees of the New Orleans Saints. Wait until Next award is going to go to Atlanta Falcons withe them being in need of a Franchise QB and Coach.
Week 15 Chiefs over Titans Patriots over Jets Bills over Browns Steelers over Jags
I am now 28 and 37 I really need to be put out of my misery. Last week I went 2 and 3.This is my week. I am going to pick games I feel are going to be great. No I am not counting the Redskins wins over Da Bears. I can still end up over 500 with some picks being right. This Week MVP award goes to Luke McNown for the great win over the Saints.
I am starting a new thing this week it is for a team that had High hopes and have played awful. The award is called the "Wait Until Next Year Award." Since I am so close to Chitown the first person to get the award is the Chicago Bears. The are coming off a superbowl lose with not a solid running game, not a solid passing game and no go to Wide Receiver. Devin Hester can only do so much. I think it is time to think to the future and go with Cade Mc I mean Kyle Orton.
Week 14 picks
Giants over Eagles Cardinal over Seahawks Vikings over 49ers Browns over Jets
Upset of the week Steelers over Patriots I am Garuteeing this game.
Got to love it. Anthony Smith, defensive back of the steelers is guaranteeing victory. Smith is stated as saying that the reporters should be asking them if they are ready for the Steelers. I love it when there is quotes like this. Makes the game fun to watch. I feel that he will be able to back the talk cause there defense is Unbelievable. I have already came out and said the Steelers are ending the streak. Anyone else think that this bulletin board material is worthy? Any comments on the game and what they think will happen?
Week 14 Game of the week. The Steelers and Big Ben and going to beat the Patriots. Bring on Randy Moss, Bring on Tom Brady. They are going to feel the rath of Larry Foote, James Farrior,Troy Polamalu and the Steel Curtain buring you into the Hard Ground. So I am urging all you Steeler Fans to get the Terrible Towel Flying and Support your team. Does anyone have any predictions on what the out come will be? Will the Defense show up and play a complete game.
First off I would like to send my condolences to the family of Shaun Taylor of the Washington Redskins. I hate to see someone lose there life at defending there own home. So this week my MVP for this week. I cannot pick games at all. I went 2 wins and 3 loses. I am now 26 wins and 34 loses. I can still make ends meet. I am also going to pose a question. Out of the teams that are in the playoffs now which will not make it and of the teams that are 4 and 6 will make? I will give my Answer after this weekends games.
Week 13
Steelers over Bangles Rams over Falcons Jags over Colts Chiefs over Chargers
Happy Thanksgiving to all you in the sports world. I hope you enjoy the mid afternoon Nap after eating turkey. I am still doing really bad, but I have 5 weeks to go over the top. I went 2 and 3 last week bringing my overall record to 24 wins and 31 loses. So this week is the time to play catch up. MVP for week 11 Randy Moss. 4 touch downs in a half is amazing.
Week 12 picks Giants over Vikings Lions over Packers Steelers over Dolphins Panthers over Saints
You heard it here first. The mighty Steelers, lead by QB Ben Roethlisberger, will run over the undefeated New England Patriots. Tom Brady is going to see a pass rush that he has never seen before. Randy Moss, is going to be locked down. Big Ben with throw for more than 3 touchdown passes. New England wont know what hit them.
So I am letting you know now, get your Terrible Towel out and Jump on the Bus, cause we are going to the Superbowl. Anyone else have any objections?
Seven weeks of the Season left and there is still One team that is Undefeated. The New England Patriots played a sluggish game last week and still one. I give my props to them for having 140 plus penalty yards and they are still able to pull out the Win. Now the Question come can they pull out an undefeated season? I do not think they can. Remember I said it first here, in the week 10 pick that on December 9th, when the Pittsburgh Steelers go to New England, the Patriots will lose there first game of the season. That WILL be my upset for that week.
I know it is a little past mid season, but I am going to give my mid season MVP, The winner if the season ended today is Randy Moss of the New England Patriots. If the Pittsburgh Steelers would of been 8 and 0 instead of 6 and 2 the mid season MVP would be Ben Roethlisberger. Shot out to the Week 9 MVP Adrian Peterson of the Minnesota Vikings, Set the all time Rushing record with 296 yards in one game. I had a pretty good week last week going 3 wins and 2 loses bringing my overall record too 20 wins and 25
Week 10 Picks
Redskins over Eagles Giants over Cowboys Chargers over Colts Steelers over Browns
I need some serious help to get out of the funk I am in. Last week I went 3 and 2, bring my over all record to 18 and 23. I really need some luck this week. The Game of the week is the Patriots and the Colts. Even though I do not like either team I will be watching the game. MVP For week 8 is Drew Brees with the New Orleans Saints. He final has the team back on track.
Last week I was really bad once again. I at least go the upset of the week right. I went 2 and 3 bring my overall to 15 wins and 21 loses. I so need a big week. The MVP for week seven is New England QB Tom Brady. Any one that can get 6 TDS is amazing. He is going to Shatter Peyton Manning's Record.
Week 8 PICS Lions over Bears Vikings over Eagles Steelers over that team for Cinn Bills over Jets
Week 6 in the NFL was the Steelers Bye week. I went nuts not seeing anything on the TV about the great Pittsburgh Steelers. I could of watched Superbowl 40 game again. I know that they need a bye week to rest the injured players. I think after watching them play Coach Tomlin was the right choice as coach. He fit the mold of the former Steeler Coaches. They play great on defense and the offense is starting to come around. What did you Steeler Fans out there do since they were not on TV? What is your thoughts and feelings of Coach Tomlin already? Do you think Ben has recovered fully from Last Season?
After watching the Dallas Cowboys make Tom Brady and the New England Patriots make mistakes and turn the ball over yesterday. I have come to the Conclusion that it is going to take a great Defense to beat them. What I mean is if the defense can get to Tom Brady then the wheels will fall off. Yesterday the way Dallas scored was by the defense making plays. One other thing that I noticed that if you keep there offense off the field long enough you can wear down there Defense. Everybody is saying they are going to go undefeated and win the Superbowl. I am one that even said they are going to win the Superbowl. But, I do not think they will go undefeated. The Team that will beat them will be the Pittsburgh Steelers on December 9th.
I feel that the Steelers have all the tools to beat them. They have the BEST Defense in the league. They are able to Run the ball and use the clock. Plus, they have a QB that is a great leader and he has done it before, by beating them in 2004 when they won 18 games straight.
I know I am crazy thinking this. But I am jumping back on the Bus to go to the Superbowl with the steelers. Ben Roethlisberger is leading the way. So watch out cause here we come. Does anyone out there think it will be someone else that beats the Patriots? Do you think they will go undefeated? Also, do think Brady breaks Peyton Manning's Record of 49 TD Passes?
As you all know the New England Patriots have been caught taping the jets coach in order to get an advantage on what defensive plays were being called. I have her that at the beginning season the Commissoner put out a statement that stealing play will not be tolerated. I have heard many stories on the radio saying that all of the teams probably do it, but for what? If a team was really smart they would change the signals for the up coming games. The reason behind this blog though I was going through my daily sports news and came across an article with an interview from madden and he said "Every coach in the world is always pushing to get a competitive advantage, that's always been happening." My thought to that is it doesnt give you an competitive edge. It cheating, stealing what ever you want to call it. It give the other team an advantage, cause they know what defense play is coming as the defense knows it coming. This gives the coach the right to call in a adidable to a new play to gain yardage or even a touchdown. If you are really competitative athelete you would use mind games to get ahead. This is cheating. If every team knew what was going to be called this makes the games no fun to watch.
I know that many of you out probably think I am wrong. But to me I feel this had cost my team 2 superbowl appearance and maybe even rings. Cause for a fact I know in 2003 the steelers beat the patriots breaking the winning streak. Then in the playoff it seem the Patriots knew what was going to happen before it happened and scored. I feel cheating is wrong and they should get a big punishment. I would like to know what your thoughts and feeling are? What other things have you heard of that was done that would be considered cheating.
