This fairweather fan that knows only the basics of the game (and also NEVER thought the Hawks would ever make it to the SuperBowl) is really thinking they can pull it off.

Go Seahawks! :D

I root for the Packers, the Cards, or the Gators. If they are not playing then it's all moot.

I thought gekko was gathering suggestions for a family vacation. Yep, I don't follow football too much, either.

Damn, we gotta work on your taste in teams....especially that last one.

Oh yeah...my gut is telling me Seattle.

I've got to go with the Steelers. They've looked impressive these last three games.

its going to be a close game, both teams are playing pretty good. I would have to pick the Steelers, i think they want it more.

Better change those colors...they're wearing "away" jerseys. :D

And I'm a Packer fan as well, but if I had to choose between the two then I would say Pittsburgh.

But only because I have inside information on their nutritional intake. ;)

Much as I would not mind seeing the Seahawks play the Cinderella role their first time at the Ball, seeing the Steelers take aprt the high-power offences of 2 very good teams (including Saint Peyton, as he's often known around east TN), I'd hafta put my $$$ on Pittsburg, if I was so inclined to bet...

...& Aqua, I know 'xactly how ya feel about wanting your homeboys go all the way, I felt the same about seeing the Titans come up a yard short a few short years back...

I think you've gotta believe the Steelers are gonna ride home-town legend "the BUS" Jerome Bettis to a career ending victory in Detroit.

Seattle's a VERY good team and I honestly hope nobody believes it will be a cake-walk, but no team has done what the Steelers have in getting to the Super Bowl, and I just think they are too balanced and dangerous to be stopped.

Come back next year Seattle, you've got the team to do it, but just not this season

Steelers, no doubt.I've been a Steelers fan since 1984 when that asshole Irsay took my Colts to Indy.BTW...kiss my ass Peyton.

Seriously,I think the pressure will undo Seattle in the end.They have never been to a Superbowl and the high expectations from their fans must be an enormous drain on them mentally.Physically,as far as talent goes,I think it could go either way.

Correction, the 'Hawks have five players with 'Bowl experience.

True, the Hawks as a team have never been to the 'Bowl, but as individuals they have six players, I believe, that have been to the big game on other teams. The Steelers, from what I have heard, have only one.

I don't think pressure will be a factor.
I don't think it will be a factor in the usual sense either, i.e., I don't think Holmgren will let his team choke...but I still think Pittsburg has just been too dominating in the playoffs so far...the 'Hawks are a great team offensively, but they can't score points if the Steelers won't even let them SEE the ball until the 3rd quarter, which is what has happened to their last 2 opponents...

Aqua

The Steelers have certainly dominated the playoffs and the Hawks are very strong offensively, but it seems that no one wants to admit the Seahawks have a strong defense too. They practically held the Panthers to a standstill in the NFC championship game. Although I have heard that the Steelers 3-4 defense will likely give the Hawks some trouble.

maddy

01-31-2006, 07:29 PM

Just because I think Holmgren is a near genius... I'm rooting for Seattle this go 'round.

maddy

01-31-2006, 07:33 PM

oh and ... umm go Pack ... there's always next year ... :)

I wanted it to be an NFC win ... alas, Congrats Steelers.

So that means it's over this year, right? :confused:

I think the groundhog saw his shadow a few days ago and now you have 6 more weeks of basketball. :D

The real MVPs of that game are the officiating staff who handed the win to the Pittsburgh.

The real MVPs of that game are the officiating staff who handed the win to the Pittsburgh.

I wondered if it was just me that thought the entire officiating staff was paid off by Bettis. 3 major penalties that were bad calls and were upheld on the field ensured that the 'Hawks would lose.

That's not whining, it's the truth.

02-06-2006, 01:21 PM

Damn Aqua, I wondered if anybody besides me thought that. It really upsets me to see a fine matchup marred by poor officiating.

maddy

02-06-2006, 07:19 PM

The officiating did rot... I'm still convinced the Rothlisberger TD was not so much a TD. And the call on Hasslebeck's tackle.... whatever the rotten call was that caused a 10 or 15 yd penalty... that one rotted too.

There was actually plenty of bad performances all around, with turnovers, dropped passes, sloppy play (not to mention Seattle's horrible time management at the end of the 1st half), but the zebras looked more like horses' asses out there...Holmgren was so busy cussing out the officials at the half he forgot he was supposed to talk to the reporter first...
