Ya its not like the NFC ever wins the superbowl or anything.

 

[axl blaze]

if my Steelers lose to the 49ers in a couple of weeks, after all my shit-talking, I am going to be so pissed

Number of 100 yard rushers on the year against the niners- 0
Number of rushing touchdowns against the niners this year- 0

NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE

^Yea they have been dominating recently.

After tonight the AFC will have 97 wins and the NFC will have 95 wins, pretty damn close.

props to john fox

i love this denver situation, it's weird as hell

 

[axl blaze]

hahaha, so true in the weirdness factor

John Elway is making it weird tho. how can a figurehead of a team be against a QB when he is 6-1? I get the feeling that if Tim Tebow and the Broncos win their division and head into the playoffs (for an early loss or perhaps best-case scenario of a first-round upset win), Elway would be pissed

is Elway such an attention whore that he cannot stand to keep his "King of Denver" reign alive and well? this is making the organization look bad

 

[China Rider]

say what you want about the afc west

but it's the only division that's completely up for grabs - that's some entertainment, son

the last quarter of the season is so awesome, can't wait to see what unfolds

and get ready for some football on monday night - rams v seahawks!!!

lowest rated MNF game ever? shit, i'm not even sure if i want to watch it

It could get ugly. And that insane crowd involved too, you better hope Marshawn Lynch forgets his skittles or else he's going to have a monster day.

 

[China Rider]

pander, why man?

like....whatever man...some of us just, like, enjoy dependable friendly competition

it's not like, all about winning, and whose the best and you know, maaaaan?

feel me bro?

on more serious note

i'd like to see how any of you guys would react to your favo teams enduring 5+ consecutive losing seasons

pretend not to be a fan? bitch about the coaching/management every sunday? watch joel olstein on sundays instead of football? change teams?

STAND IN THESE SHOES all you steeler, ravens, saints, patriots, falcons, or giants fans!

to the resident niner and dolphin fan, good for you, or, hang in there, etc

 

[CoffeeDrinker]

lol @ bumfights...lolol

That being said it's no shame to lose to the Broncos anymore.

 

[axl blaze]

well let me just say that I can't wait for my Steelers team to face the Denver Broncos, at home in Pittsburgh, during the Wild-Card Round of the Playoffs

 

[Pander Bear]

china rider:

exactly, I ought to get used to it, all the same— my birds were supposed to just fine-tune a system this year. Now, it looks like we still need a pass rush, and some players who can catch passes.

if broncos make playoffs they will host the steelers in the wild card

division champions get auto home game

I am a 49er fan and this is the first year of my adult life they have been a good football team, haven't been to the playoffs since 2002 I think. Thats a pretty long drought.

I know how it feels.

yeah dude the Falcons have been rough this year. and imo this hurts the most. although I will admit I am blessed to bleed black + gold, I do remember the 90s where my team was good enough to get to the AFC Championship every year, but almost non-stop find a way to lose that seminal game (94) or when they do go to the SB, have our QB intentionally throw two picks 6s because he assuredly is under fire from some Vegas bookie (95 SB VS Dallas)

trust me CR, it hurts more that way than to just suck it up all year

 

[nowdubnvr6]

i believe that was the first time in history i've ever seen a coach ice his own kicker. lolz.

One of those days when i hide my cowboys blankey from when i was 8.

 

[axl blaze]

it just blows my mind that Pittsburgh will most likely end up as the 5th seed in this year's Playoffs

they have to be the scariest 5th seed in a long while. it's harkening me back to the glorious year of 2006, when the Steelers took the NFL Playoffs by storm, and became the first ever 6th seed to win it all. hell, that was such an emotional year for me. my dad, the biggest Pittsburgh Steelers fan I have ever met in my life, died the year before. in the AFC Championship, when Indianapolis had a chance to win the game with a last-second FG, but the kick went wiiiiide right (not a common occurrence for Indy PK Vanderjagt. I think my pops had something to do with that one, right there

 

[China Rider]

trust me CR, it hurts more that way than to just suck it up all year

yeah i've always felt it was better to play pathetic all year rather than miss the playoffs by 1 game and get a not to great draft pick along the way

i've been there buddy

2002 super bowl

14 point favorites vs the hood man

my psyche has never been the same

i've been through bullshit play off loses too, in 2000 vs the saints, rams about to cap off a die-no-mite comeback, only to have az hakim have a punt reflect off his chest

and the last rams playoff game, 2006,even though i didn't really expect them to win - falcons 47 - rams 17

also this year rams were predicted by most to win the nfc west, and i had such a great feeling about this year

poor me, poor me

you've got to be joking. every sports fan endures ups and downs. i'm a patriots fan and have been since i moved to the u.s. in 1993 when the patriots were one of the worst teams in football. i had to watch them bob up and down for 9 years before they upset your rams in the superbowl. likewise the red sox - i had to wait 11 years for that world series which is nothing compared to lifelong red sox fans.
