Also the Steelers should not have acted like week 17 meant nothing. If they won that game they would have been the 3rd seed and had to play the Titans. But instead they choose the stupid way out and settled for the 4th seed and an inevitable lose to the Jags yesterday.[/quote]
Wrong, SD would have still won against the Raiders and would have had the better record, Tomlin correctly realized that win or lose against the ravens, unless the charges lost to the pitiful raiders, our last game would not have mattered. The only way to get the 3rd seed is if Steelers won against the ravens AND Raides won against the Chargers, since the charges won the steelers game didnt matter.
And anybody bitching about how popular the steelers are, suck it. If I werent a yinzer I too would be pissed by the steelers overwhelming popularity. We are a steelers nation and the most popular football team in america. The ethics and hard nosed blue collar ethos is what makes us so popular. It also doesnt hurt that we have the most (5) superbowl rings (like dallas and ??? 49ers??). This is all evidenced by the fact that at pretty much every away game we go to about half (or sometimes more) the stadium is filled with terrible towels.
While Jax may be advancing further into playoffs (no way they win the superbowl) I woudl still rather be the steelers wtih their unbeleivable fan support. Jax had 3 games blacked out this year because they didnt sell out, thier fan support is pitiable and embarassing. I'm proud of how big the steelers fan base is as it is unparralleled in the history of the NFL.
3 worst plays IMO:
1. Wards' AMAZING 2 pt converstion called back by some phantom holding call.
2. Roeth's pick returned for a TD.
3. JOnes-drew 98 yrd kickoff return.
BTW, who the

needs two last names, just go with jones or drew, greedy prick.
