The aides at the home have probably distributed your meds by now, so you’re fast asleep dreaming of your happy boyhood during the Great Depression when the only woman with a voice was Eleanor Roosevelt.

@Beer Cheese …

Leavy said he felt he made a couple of bad calls–and he was very specific about which ones. They didn’t impact the final score. Stop the insanity or they’ll find you a room next to cintiphil’s … but yours will come with a straitjacket.

@gbfanforever …

I think it’s a toss-up and anyone counting unhatched chickens is a fool. Sounds to me like you’re the one being overconfident, Mr. Pot.

I didn’t see this gem the first read through. Do you mean “Might well have beaten you if their receivers were allowed to push-off right in front of the ref?” Maybe “Might well have beaten you if their linemen were allowed to hold with impunity?”

@jc1958coo …

Our starting quarterback missed 25 percent of the season, and we’ve been playing with third and fourth string on the offensive line all year. The Steelers don’t make excuses. The standard is the standard. And don’t underestimate Legursky.

You again? Back into the kitchen.

as I’m sure the Packers fans already plan on using officiating as an excuse as that seems to be trend when losing to Pittsburgh.

When the lead official himself came out and admit that the Seattle part-time fans were correct, common sense would imply MAYBE there’s some reason that.

Oh wait, Steelers fan.. no common sense… Sorry about that.

You face a real team this year people. With a rich history just like your own. We don’t play in the NFC Worst. We don’t need a dome in a warm climate. We know how to play smash mouth defense. We have quite a few refs of our own that give us calls they shouldn’t, just as the Steelers do. We mowed through the playoffs, all on the road as the 6 seed. We humiliated our biggest rival along the way. Sound familiar?

This ain’t Arizona you’re about to face. It isn’t the overrated ’05 Seattle team that might well have beaten you had they been allowed to play. This is a team that really is a lot like the Steelers.

Therefore, just as I give the Steelers their due (at least this year, not in ’05), you’re making a big mistake by underestimating the Pack this year. It’s gonna be a very tough game, regardless of who wins.

“..the Steelers haven’t managed to stop a top 10 passing attack yet. They lost to both NO and the Patriots.”

Tom Brady > Drew Brees > Aaron Rodgers.

steeler fan overconfidence is so amusing. All of their big wins have been eked out at home on that lousy turf. They have yet to be impressive but live off of their reputation. Missing the center will hurt against the capers D. Because Raji will live in the backfield now without a double team, Cullen Jenkins, Clay and others will be put in very favorable match ups.

Re: that lousy Jets defense. You mean the one that was the third best in the entire league? That one?

===========================

Exactly. Most of Mendenhall’s yards came with Legursky in the game. Of course I wish that Pouncey was playing. Not as big a dropoff as people think.

@ cletusvandam –

Dude! The Shield, the best show ever on TV. You’re the man!

This is the same Justin Hartwig that was waived in early September in favor of Legursky as the backup to Pouncy.

A can won’t do it — he’d need at least a 6-pack, maybe more.

Our starting quarterback missed 25 percent of the season, and we’ve been playing with third and fourth string on the offensive line all year. The Steelers don’t make excuses. The standard is the standard. And don’t underestimate Legursky.

But you just keep counting those unhatched chickens, baby.

He was a mauler all year, and to get knocked out just before the Super Bowl is just sh*te luck.

I can’t pretend to know anything about the “drop-off” to Legursky, but Pack fans hoping this leads to an easy win just need to look at our own team-
plenty of examples of unheralded replacements stepping up big time when the chips are down.

what you fail to realize is that the Bears just matchup well against the pack. I wouldn’t count on a similar performance from your Steelers. Esp. considering that the Steelers haven’t managed to stop a top 10 passing attack yet. They lost to both NO and the Patriots.

Adam Schefter is a little POS that rarely knows what he’s talking about. Unfortunately there is no longer any effort by these so called journalists to get their facts right before reporting on a story.

see fancyleague’s post.

To be sure, Legursky is no match for Raji. This should not only lead to more sacks, but generally help the Pack to contain both the run and pass.
