Man, that's an awful loss. 10-3 at home to the Niners, even Detroit might put up more of a fight than that.

No kidding...I sensed impending doom when they missed that 20 yard field goal early on.

EDIT: Time to go play my 7-string guitar...for good luck ya know?

not to mention the play calling has sucked. Blown coverages and crappy coaching.

its been a really ugly game.

Dunno, but the Lovie Smith press conference is going to be as laame as any other week. Maybe the Bears can hire Singletary next year.

What? you call playing the Bengals and the Browns 4 TIMES this season a tough schedule?, shoot, the REAL Steeler fans I know would kick your ass for making the fan-base-gene-pool as weak as a stillborn kitten..

Careful now, you have no room to talk considering the Pats have the entire NFC and AFC West divisions on their schedule...
 
jax or texans? i picked jax so far...

this is my best chance to win a week of yahoo pickem, tied with 2 others at 11 points each!

I have no passion left for this team as long as Lubbie is at the reigns. Worst coaching staff in football

Bengals, Browns, Raiders, Chiefs (although I'd give Herm one more year to see if his awesome drafts can finally start to pay off, can't expect them to to do anything right off the bat), Rams, and especially the Lions all have far better arguments for worst coaching staff...although a lot of those teams problems stem more from piss poor ownership than coaching staff, so maybe...
 
What was the deal with Denver's first (defensive) TD on the Jets? Didn't make any sense to me but the ESPN announcers didn't seem to think it was strange at all. Wouldn't the guy have been down by contact? Looked like a really bad call to me.

Can't believe the Panters and Bucs are both 9-3. They get zero respect...probably because neither are as good as their record indicates 😛 - Neither of em have a shot at the Superbowl IMO. I told you they get zero respect 🙂

:laugh: Alitard shows up! Your hate and jealousy is too funny and truly pathetic. So, based on your rant, you put the Cowboys, Broncos, Giants in the same category for cheating since all of their coaches have admitted to doing the same thing?

And what was your excuse when the Squeelers got crushed last year in the Playoffs after Belichick made 2nd half-adjustments? Oh wait, you cried that if Polamula played that the Steelers would have won.

Enjoy the win since it's a rare win by the Steelers over the Pats.

And hopefully, all of the Brady bashers will STFU about Cassel.

Pitt fans really jealous of a franchise with two less rings, and not one won legitimately lol. Pitt is one of the most respected franchises from top to bottom with what is widely acknowledged as the best fans. Kraft was jealous of our success and tried to emulate, too bad he couldn't get it done without cheating. At least the Celtics & the Red Sux bought their titles fairly lol.

Poor NE Fonb*is still trying to talk away the cheating by NE. What other team got fined or had draft picks taken? What other team had at least SIX rule changes put into effect this year based on the DOZENS of allegations over the past 6 years? NFL comp committee said pretty much EVERY complaint over that time period was about who? The MYRIAD of allegations go beyond taping and stealing signals. YOUR team was the ONLY one CAUGHT and PUNISHED, exposed as cheating, choking, FRAUDS lol.

Last year Pitt, along with every other team, was still sending in defensive signals by hand. No coords change their signals from year to year, let alone game to game, terminology too in depth with roster turnover. LEBeau, and pretty much every other cord out there has stated they keep it the same year to year.


Yeah I think the fact BOTH our starting safeties were out last year, along with our best run stopping DE, played a factor. We also had 5 starters out this game, and others played injured. Atlanta & the Ravens both winning with true rookie QB's, and we all know how well Ben did his rookie year. Cassel did well against BOTTOM 10 defenses, coudln't break 150 yards against the best defense the NFL has seen in 30 years. No QB has passed for more than 200 yds against us all year, guess having both starters back at safety makes a "little" difference.


NE taped FOUR Pitt games, other than those four Bellicheat could not consistently beat Cowher/Pitt, either in NE or Cleve. His record outside those 4 games shows you why of the known 12 tapes 4 were of Pitt. The fact that they got DOMINATED in the second half shows Bellitards true "genuis" when he has to coach fairly, he is a JOKE.

It has been proven, if NE can't cheat they can't win, they just choke, nothing more than FRAUDS. Brady coming back won't mean a thing, your retard head coach had him on the bench until Bledsoe suffered a life threatening injury. Once he had to use Brady he realized he couldn't win with him without cheating. No honor & no class, just like their pathetic fanb*is lol. They left the stadium before the game was even over, did they think they were Bellicheat and it was the SB.

NE had a chance to take 1st place in their division today but slipped to 3rd and pretty much out of the playoff hunt, getting dominated at home. Enjoy watching us in January ya wannabes & try to find a way to win without cheating, obviously can't beat us when U can't anymore....

Strength of schedule is on record, Steeler facing hardest since 1976, it's a matter of FACT not opinion. Pat* easiest this year in the NFL.

Pitt dominating stastically like the NFL has not seen in 30 years, facing that brutal schedule. You can believe otherwise, the numbers prove you wrong.

Last year we still had to use hand signals that it has been proven NE stole & used to cheat. This year they could not, rule changed to prevent their cheating ways, obviously made no difference as that GREAT NE offense really tore up the Steelers D. What a joke. Why couldn't Bellicheat make good halftime adjustments this year but he could last season?


Yeah, they were not still stealing signals last year, have some more Kool Aid. Drink slow though, don't want ya to choke lol.

When the Pats show they can beat Pitt or win a title without cheating they will get the kudos they EARNED. Hasn't happened yet though, only thing they have proven is when they can't cheat, they CHOKE....

Sry homers but everyone outside of Boston consider the Pats frauds *& chokers, their only "success" the result of cheating. No class, no honor, & no ethics, just like their ignorant bandwagon fanb*is.


Want to know what the Cheatri*ts accomplished outside of the 8 years it was proven they cheated, look below:







































Exactly, nothing other than the most epic choke in sports history in last years SB, SO JEALOUS LMFAO.

Bill Bellicheats "winning" % outside the years it has been PROVEN he CHEATED:

.388, @ 60 losses in just over 100 games, there's the reason he needed to cheat to win.

He will be ultimately judged by how he fared during the times he cheated compared to when he didn't, the numbers reveal his true "genius", .388 LMFAO what a FRAUD....
 
G/L to you Deeko and all the other Cowboy fans, looking forward to a great game. Romo will need to be on his top game, both of your tackles have problems with speed rushers from the outside and Harrison & Woodley will be coming all day...🙂

Win or lose let's hope both teams come away with no injuries......

Success from 30 years ago? Please stop with the jealousy.

YOUR team was the ONLY one CAUGHT and PUNISHED, exposed as cheating, choking, FRAUDS lol.

If you were actually knowledgeable of the game you would have known all of that was to make an example to the league since everyone else does it too. You mean allegations from Specter who later withdrew them b/c he had zero proof? Keep crying.

Last year Pitt, along with every other team, was still sending in defensive signals by hand. No coords change their signals from year to year, let alone game to game, terminology too in depth with roster turnover. LEBeau, and pretty much every other cord out there has stated they keep it the same year to year.

:laugh: Yet, they do change their signals from game to game. The terminology is the same dumbass, just the signals are changed. Seriously, can you say anything more stupid.


Yeah I think the fact BOTH our starting safeties were out last year, along with our best run stopping DE, played a factor. We also had 5 starters out this game, and others played injured. Atlanta & the Ravens both winning with true rookie QB's, and we all know how well Ben did his rookie year.

No QB has passed for more than 200 yds against us all year, guess having both starters back at safety makes a "little" difference.

And I'll use your excuses for last night, if NE had Brady, Harrison, Warren, Thomas, Maroney, etc they would have spanked Pitt again like usual.

NE taped FOUR Pitt games, other than those four Bellicheat could not consistently beat Cowher/Pitt, either in NE or Cleve. His record outside those 4 games shows you why of the known 12 tapes 4 were of Pitt. The fact that they got DOMINATED in the second half shows Bellitards true "genuis" when he has to coach fairly, he is a JOKE.

😕 Yeah, 5 turnovers wasn't a factor.

It has been proven, if NE can't cheat they can't win, they just choke, nothing more than FRAUDS. Brady coming back won't mean a thing, your retard head coach had him on the bench until Bledsoe suffered a life threatening injury.

Again, you truly show how much of an ignorant moran you are. Too funny. When Jimmy Johnson, Bill Parcells, Mike Shanahan, George Siefert have admitted to doing the same thing or using other games man tactics(cheating), you play Mr. Ignorant.

Face it. The only reason you are so bitter is plain jealousy. Love all of your excuses for the Squeelers getting crushed last year after Belichick made his 2nd half adjustments.

So, Pitt's coaching staff is too stupid to change up their signals knowing that NE might know them? :laugh: Okay, what's your next excuse? Oh wait, Pitt's doing the same thing but just didn't get caught.

Proven they can't win without cheating? What was last year? Kind of funny how only the ignorant keep cryng about it.



Can't wait for your excuses when Pitt loses in the playoffs.

Both the Steelers and Cowboys bring a ton of pressure on the QB - which team is able to stop it is going to be key in this game. Ware has been a monster this season, as has Ratliff up the middle. It will be interesting.

Your hate has obscured common sense, coaches routinely change signals even if they don't suspect someone is copying them!, are we to believe the Pitt coaching staff is so stupid they were using the SAME signals from 2-3 years ago?, I don't and neither does anyone else apparently except for you, there was not a SINGLE mention from Pitt players or coaches after last season's game where they implied anything else but they got their ass's handed to them, not one. Halftime adjustments? last year Pat's used a 2 tight end set in the playoffs to help the running game, those players are injured or gone and when your down 2 TD's at the start of the 4'th quarter there are few if any "adjustments" to make, your throwing the ball period, and into the strength of the Pitt defense (pass rush), not a nice place to be but your not going to make up 11+ points on the ground against the Pitt D. Oh, wait the "class" issue, yea Ward has a bounty on his head and your safety pummels Welker with a blindside-chicken shit smack despite the fact the ball is no where near him, real classy, expect the NFL front office to be calling soon to collect the fine from that cowardly punk..
