7 Reasons Pittsburgh Will CRUSH Green Bay

"Aw, shit. Not them, again."​

Pittsburgh fans have selective amnesia.....

Steeler fans don't remember anything before 1967

Pirate fans only remember what happened before 1967

Here ya' go!! You should appreciate this!

Some chick-news.....​

"What's the prism through which you view sports?

The prism of team colors and city name?

The singular filter of athletic achievement?

A window on human interest, finding athletes you feel you can truly root for?

It's an interesting exploration. Why does one city cheer for its own accused steroid cheat yet degrade an accused visitor? Why do some stay loyal to a team even after it has moved and turned its back on its fan base? Why can you hate one player when he plays across the country and adore him as soon as he signs with your team?

And why does a person's vile behavior off the field become less relevant the more his team wins?

That brings us to Ben Roethlisberger, who is leading the Pittsburgh Steelers into the Super Bowl for the third time in his seven-year career." - Ann Killion

....And, it's lookin' like the Packers "get it"!!!​

"As one would expect, the Packers weren't exactly eager to provide frank, direct answers to questions about if the Steelers' defense plays up to the edge of proper conduct -- and possibly over that edge.

After all, there's no reason to rile up any opponent at this stage (unless you're Jets coach Rex Ryan or one of his players) or to acknowledge if you're intimidated by an opponent.

About the most revelatory statement came from Packers wide receiver Greg Jennings, when asked about the Steelers' propensity for big hits: "They're a team that really tries to get after you physically. We understand that."

Ridin'-the-pine with

Clay Matthews!!!!!!!!​

"Both are disruptive playmakers with long, flowing hair and a shared alma mater.

They also are so close to one another as far as impacting games that initial reports Monday had Green Bay Packers outside linebacker Clay Matthews, not Steelers strong safety Troy Polamalu, winning NFL Defensive Player of the Year honors.

Polamalu, as it turned out, edged Matthew by the slimmest of margins, getting 17 first-place votes out of 50 among those on a nationwide Associated Press panel. Matthews received 15 first-place votes."

[Mr. Shaman]

"The day after the win over the Jets, the Steelers came to their practice facility for the usual Monday stuff, and the players were off on Tuesday while the coaching staff put together the game plan. That plan for the upcoming opponent – the Green Bay Packers – was introduced on Wednesday morning, and then it was a normal in-season week for the Steelers through the end of business on Friday.

The Steelers are experienced in the ways of the Super Bowl throughout all levels of the organization.

There will be curfews, but Tomlin has no interest in bed-check being the focal point of the day. This is a lifetime experience for these players, but it will turn out to be nothing but a painful memory if it’s handled as anything but a business trip."

Scofflaws, BEGONE!!!!

THE STEELERS ARE IN TOWN!!!​

"Imagine the Browns playing the Eagles in Pittsburgh. It's the first time the Steel City has hosted a Super Bowl, and Heinz Field has been open only two seasons.

That scenario begins to describe the nightmare some Dallas Cowboys fans are enduring this week as the Steelers prepare to play the Packers in Super Bowl XLV, a first for North Texas and two-year-old Cowboys Stadium.

"It's going to be filled with the colors that I was raised to hate," said Cowboys fan Jack Dison, 24, a native of Tyler, Texas, whose mother taught him about the Steelers' two Super Bowl victories over the Cowboys in Super Bowl X and Super Bowl XIII. "If they do the Lambeau Leap, I'm going to go crazy."

This week is rubbing salt in the wound of fans of the blue and silver, who suffered through a tumultuous 6-10 season in 2010."

Didn't the Packers also defeat the Cowboys twice to win the NFL Championship?

Why the hell would Cowboy fans hate either the Pack or Steelers?

Its not like the Redskins or Giants are in their house

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Didn't the Packers also defeat the Cowboys twice to win the NFL Championship?

Could be...could be...but, it's only Super Bowl X and Super Bowl XIII that really count, in Dallass-fans' eyes.

Be patient.

Maybe ONE day, people (outside Wisconsin) will speak of The Pack with the same reverence they reserve for THE STEELERS.

IT could happen.....for your great-grandchildren!!!!!

 

[Mr. Shaman]

We're ALL

STEELERS-FANS, now....

From PITTSBURGH, PA

....to PORTLAND, OREGON!!!!

Yeah... them championships back when they were called "World Championships" don't mean anything because they didn't come with shiny objects.

League championships (12)†

• NFL Championships (11)
  1929, 1930, 1931, 1936, 1939, 1944, 1961, 1962, 1965, 1966, 1967
• AFL-NFL Super Bowl Championships (2)
  1966 (I), 1967 (II)
• Super Bowl Championships (1)
  1996 (XXXI)

Hmm... I was right earlier. Pittsburg is only 7 behind.

Soon to be 8.

The point is that Pittsbugh was right there while the Packers were winning all those NFL Championships. Its not like they did not have the same chance the Packers did

The Yankees count their 27 championships all the way back to 1923. Only Steeler fans start counting NFL Championships since 1967

With Mr. Shaman, Steeler history starts with the hiring of Chuck Noll. Great accomplishments of the 1970's Steelers aside, ignoring the previous 45 years is moronic. we packer fans suffered through a 25 year drought of poor teams through the 70's 80's and part of the early 90's. We don't ignore those years, in as much to thump our chests in pride saying "oh yeah, I remember when we sucked so hard we were the 'siberia' of the NFL! And we were STILL fans!"

Last time I checked

It was known as the "Vince Lombardi Trophy"

The NFL knows how to honor champions

There's the Halas trophy for the NFC champion. what is it for the AFC, the Hank Stram trophy? Something like that?

Close...It was Lamar Hunt who founded the AFL and the Chiefs

Pittsburgh fans have selective amnesia.....

Steeler fans don't remember anything before 1967

Pirate fans only remember what happened before 1967

Before 1992. That's the Sid Bream chugging around third and a late throw that ended the Pirates franchise.

And Steeler fans really don't count anything but Super Bowl victories, much like all other NFL fans other than cheeseheads.

Take the Steelers and the points Sunday, it's a lock!

I always go for experience in the Superbowl
