Coaching is critical at draft. After you pick the right horses, just try
to
not screw up.

You won't put your money where you mouth is.

Obviously, you don't believe in the Steelers--with good reason.

Wrong again. It boils down to coaching. Cower is going to out-coach
Bellacheck(SP?).
His players are going to rough up the sissy Patriots. Sissy Brady will go
down in the
second quarter with a concussion. The Patriots just aren't tough enough.

Steelers 35, sissy Pats 17.

I have spoken.

Wrong about the Steelers, and wrong about the Eagles.

Jeff, I'm in a lottery for four Superbowl tickets. If I win, you are

Its gonna be tough for the Eagles. Last week the Pats held the best
offense in the league to 3 points. Tonight the scored 41 points against
the best defense. Its hard to see how any team can beat them.

As I predicted before the game:

Ben Roethlisberger MVP for the Patriots!

You were right about that. The first play was an interception.

Yup, kinda set the tone for the whole game. I was wondering if we'd
see Tommy Maddox, but Cower isn't like that , remember how he stuck
it out with Kordell, even when he stunk it up. Looked like we were
coming back untill that TO, the one that was reviewed (with the 15yd
penalty added on).

Cheeseburger looked like a rookie and Brady was near perfect. I feel
sorry for Bettis.

I wish I could get down to Manhattan and have a beer with
you. The Steelers were tough, but I knew the Patriots were
highly motivated to win. They always get their revenge when
a team beats them, and they are undefeated in the playoffs.

The Patriots proved yet again, they have the best defense in
the NFL.

They did a good job shutting down the run. Pitts never was a good
catch up team.


By the way, the Patriots are opening as 6 point favorites against
Phily.


Go Pats !

Send me your mail addy and I'll pay up.

OK, Bart, $5 it is. It'll mean my lunch money for the week, but I
love my Steelers.

The Jets game made me VERY nervous! I think we'll be able to tell
in
the first 10 minutes who's going to win.

It's 14* f , wind chill -2*F. We got about 10''. I plowed about
6''
yesterday at 4PM, snowed 4'' through the night. Dang but it's
cold
out.

BTW, I'll be in Manhattan tomorrow morn,

My 'Terrible Towel' did double duty as a 'crying towel' last night.

This week, the Patriots scored 41 points against the
top rated defense.

As I tried to tell Scotty, the worst thing you can do is to beat a great NFL
team that you have to play again in a more important game. The Steelers did
NE and Philly a favor by ending their win streaks.

The truth is the Patriots are the toughest team in Pro
footballs. They have the best defense and the best
offense, measured by wins, points scored and
points against.

Tough isn't measured by numbers. The Eagles did the smart thing and said
"screw those stats, we're starting our second stringers for the remainder of
the regular season, for the sake of the team's health and the ultimate goal
of beating the least worst team in the AFC."

Bill Belicheck is the now tied with Vince Lombardi,
and in two weeks he will beat Lombardi's
record and become the best ever pro football coach.

Hurray for Bill Belicheck- the best NFL coach in New England!
Bring it on baby! E-A-G-L-E-S!
Scout

not really.
I was rooting for the Steelers but I knew they'd lose. See my previous posts
regarding the perils of beating a great nfl team early in the season.

You just picked the wrong length of the game! Although the Steelers
kept fighting, it was clear at that point that their spirit was broken.
Two plays later was the Wilson inception and all hope fizzled.

Did you notice that late in the third quarter, the score was what I
predicted, Patriots 34, Steelers 20?

Not only did I pick the winner, I nearly guess the score perfectly.

Seems like the REAL men are for the Steelers.

Bart hasn't replied yet, wonder if he's getting cold feet?

I'm closer to J-ville than you are...I'll save you a parking place and
have steaks on the grill when you get there for a ticket. I'll even buy
your favorite beer for the pre-game tailgate party...

Scout,

Looks like food for SUPER BOWL is going to be NE Clam Chowder and Philly
Cheesesteaks.

Patriots knocked out the "Shoo-fly" pie. Might be able to cook up some
"Scrapple" and Home Fried potatoes.

Ole Thom

Miami beat them and Miami is one of the worst teams in the NFL.

The Steeler defense sucked yesterday. It's as if they all placed big
bets that the Pats would win and win larger than the spread.

Anything can happen in the Superbowl. It's probably just as fixed.

I was wrong. Cower, most of the defense and RothLESSburger threw the
game because they had placed bets for New England to win. It's patently
obvious.
