14-1



I can only imgaine how much the sign shop guy rolled is eyes at this job. But hey, gotta love them Steeler fans!

The road to the Super Bowl goes through PA. Pittsburgh and Philly each have top seed in the AFC and NFC respectively. I haven’t look it up, but I can’t think of the last time two teams played in the pre season, regular season and post season. But let’s not count those chicks quite yet…

The Steelers did look damn good and physically superior in Sunday’s big win. I’ve got to think Ben will be back for the first playoff game (most likely against San Diego). At least I hope so. The team was pretty quick to diagnose Townsend’s broken hand, but have been pretty vague about Ben’s rib/sternum situation.

Good seeing Plax back. At the start of the year I wasn’t sure he was going to be worth the money it may take to resign him. But it’s become clear they need to spend the money to keep him around, as he and Ben have an excellent rapport. I also think they need to redo Hines’ deal before he gets to camp.

Congratulations to The Bus who passed Eric Dickerson for 4th place on the all-time rushing list. The Pats held Martin in check, so going into the final week, Martin should pass Dickerson for 5th, but may not catch Jerome, for now.

Here’s my favorite post game quote:

Steelers outside linebacker Joey Porter was amused by Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs' depiction of the Ravens as the Steelers' kryptonite.

"Obviously they never watched any of the (Superman) movies," Porter said. "Superman always wins. I've watched all of them. They made like four or five of them and in every movie, he takes the kryptonite and comes back to win. You've got to watch to the end of the movie."

The Steelers have defeated the Ravens in six of the past eight games.

Coach just said in his press conference it is bruised rib cartilage.

Not great but better than a broken rib or two!

Indeed.

I just read the transcript. Bill had a lot of good stuff to say, and I like his approach to the game. The AFC playoffs are going to be sick.
