And the Steelers secondary must contain the receivers."* "The Steelers have won 9 straight on the road. I see number 10 happening tomorrow."

duus Posted October 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 25 minute show. Opening comments contained prediction and opinion, then nothing ... nothing ... just Penguins and Pitt Panthers talk ... for the first 20 minutes of the show. Then finally a call:Caller - "Bengals haven't played anybody. Troy is due for some more interceptions."Another caller asked about Duce Staley. That's it. Incredible. I'm telling you, in the 15 years I have been here, I have watched this show and others, and they ALWAYS talk ONLY about the Steelers at this point in the week. They are so absolutely not concerned about this game. They started the week with some questions and unknowns, but EVERYONE is now convinced this is a gimme. I honestly cannot find a radio or tv voice, or anyone I personally know here, that thinks this is not going to be 'an easy victory'. Bring it Bengals! Bring a victory home for those like me who have waited 15 years for this win! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lambertslunatic Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 Well, I hate Pittsburgh as much as anyone here... maybe more. I agree that Roethlisberger is full of himself, but at this point I think I have to agree with him. Roethlisberger is one of the more accurate passers in the league (no INT's in 4 games played), so the 3 INT's that Maddox threw most likely would not have happened, not to mention the fumble he lost.No doubt his statement is true. But I think the fact that he said it, and said it to the opponent, is indicative of what kind of guy this is. This is surely best left unsaid, and, if needed to be said, should be in the locker room ... NEVER to the opponent. I find this to be very SMALL of BIG Ben.BTW ... you will truly find it hard to hate this team more than me. I think my sanity is challenged on a daily basis just due to how much I hate this team. Being a die-hard Bengal fan from my childhood in Northern Kentucky, and then moving to Pittsburgh for graduate school, I never knew how much I would learn to absolutely hate this team! I didn't like them before, and living here for 15 years has done nothing but make me obsessed with showing outsiders the hyprocisy that exists within this city and its beloved sports team. They honestly think they are God's gift to sports. And Cowher ... man, don't get me started! The guy couldn't coach his way out of a brown paper bag when the big game is on the line. But he NEVER EVER gets criticized by the media in this town. He intimidates the media guys around here, and they NEVER ask the hard question. He just gives them a mean, bully look, and that's it. Man, do I hate these guys. But I'll continue to give the information in as real and honest way as possible. There still needs to be truth above my extreme bias. I just want folks to know some of the ridiculousness that goes on behind the scenes in this arrogant town.(I feel better now)YOU SEEM TO HAVE YOUR HEADS UP YOUR ASS. WHERE DO YOU GET YOUR INFO? COMIC BOOKS?? QUIT WHINING ABOUT BEN! WATCH BEN HOOK UP WITH HINES TODAY. CHAD WHO?? DUDE, YOU POST THEN ANSWER YOUR OWN POSTS. IS THIS BOARD YOUR ONLY FRIEND?

WATCH BEN HOOK UP WITH HINES TODAY. CHAD WHO?? Ah, another great post with the in-depth analysis I have come to expect from Steeler fans. You guys never cease to amaze me.

I have offered all information in the most accurate manner possible. I suspect you are simply not used to that type of analysis.If you cannot deal with that method ... please do us all a favor, stop wasting my time, and go back to your home in Steeler message board land.

duus Posted October 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 Big talk on radio is that they believe they may "have backed into something just like they did with Roethlisburger last year." This is in reference to Ike Taylor following Chad Johnson everywhere he goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duus Posted October 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 They are still going on and on and on about "not being able to speak to Coach Lewis and the Bengals this week." These media guys are about as insulted about this as I have ever seen around here. "Marvin Lewis shutting down the media sends a message to the players that it is not 'just one more game.'" Point is that this will create too much pressure on the Bengals players."If both running games are stopped today, the advantage definitely goes to the Bengals" - Jack Hamm ... (this just gives more weight to the belief that if the Bengals crowd the box, and go more to the pass on offense themselves, well, it will be a W)BTW ... Jack Hamm, like every other guy I have heard here, likes the Steelers to win the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duus Posted October 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 The only guys who have been 'ruled out' for the Steelers are:StaleyColcloughHaggansMy guess is folks like Wilson, Smith, Townsend, and El are not really that close to 100%, but you know they didn't want to go into this game without so many guys. My hope is that all of these who are not 'out' will be fairly ineffective ... we shall see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
