Just remember..

[Sonny]

We needed this game more than they did. You know how we keep saying the Ravens Super Bowl was Week 1, and they have to actually beat us in the playoffs, well, I see that they are saying that about us on Patriots boards.

Would anyone be thrilled to see them in the playoffs?

It does feel great though, and wow, how fast things change. If we win next week, what team can say they are better than us besides Green Bay? And speaking of Green Bay, wouldn't you love to see a Super Bowl Rematch with this new and improved gameplan?

Great win. Much better defensively. But I still prefer not to see them in the playoffs. Call it historic skiddishness, if you will. The one thing that makes me less skiddish than in past years is their D's complete inability to get stops on 3rd down. They got an INT gifted to them by a Ben brain-fart. They did very little to make Ben uncomfortable.

But I didn't think Steeler players were not acting like "Wow, we beat the Pats." To me it seemed like they were acting like "Yeah, we belong. We had that. Nice win." If Pats fans are saying that, they are simply imagining it and hoping it to be true. What I saw was a totally domnating win. The only thing keeping the Pats in it was lack of ability to get TDs in the red zone.

I am more worried about the Ratbirds and Bungles than Cheatroits right now.

AFC North is really close right now. Next few weeks could decide the outcome.

The way we played today? I'd be okay with it. They had an extra week to prepare and still got outmatched and outsmarted. We've got the blueprint to beat them now, and next time we will have Harrison back.

Re: Just remember..

Awesome win today. It felt great to finally hand it to the patriots. I don't care what the circumstances are. We have been their bitches for too long. Very impressed with all facets of our performance other than that red zone offense. This game shouldn't have been close. Even with all of the gaudy stats, we were one bad play from losing this game on the scoreboard.

I'm loving our young talent. The way these guys are rising to the occasion when called upon. If we ever get everyone back healthy, this team is a load.....

One down, and two more to go until the bye week. Wouldn't that be great to go into the by 8-2. I'm believing

Re: Just remember..

Week 1 was the Ravens SB. Their last game was another playoff loss to us and we play them - and often beat them - two times a year. They were geared up for this game more than any other game they will play this season.

OTOH, this was nowhere near the same level for the Steelers. If anything this could have been a look ahead game with the more important Baltimore game just a week away. I think that the Pats fans put way more stock into this matchup than we or the team does.

As a rival they still rank way behind the Ravens, and even Cincy in my mind.

Steelers, Ratbirds, and Bungholes are currently 1, 3, and 5 in the conference... The AFCN is tough.

Re: Just remember..

I don't believe the Ravens offense will play as great as they did in week 1 next Sunday. I don't believe the Steelers offense will perform as poorly as they did in week one. The Ravens can still win with their defense.

Suggs still presents some problems for offenses. The way Suggs is playing, he might be the defensive MVP of the league right now.

Whooda thunk this would be the case!

We need NKy to spike the Bungholes drinks next time he flies them around. All's fair in love, war, and the AFCN!!

Ask me about the AFCN after week 2 and I would've bet the Bengals would've folded, we would be struggling, and the Ravens would be cruising. I never would've bet that this division would turn out so tough.

Our 0-1 divisional record still worries me... but holy cow, if this Steelers team shows up consistently, we can beat anyone... and I think our best football is yet to come.

Re: Just remember..

Not too high, not too low.

We weren't as bad as we looked in the Ravens game and we may not be as good as we looked yesterday.

The Bengals have 2 games each to play with both the Ravens and Steelers, I have a hard time seeing them in the race...

Re: Just remember..

Kind of funny how all I kept hearing about until yesterday is how the Steelers haven't beaten anyone yet and now I am hearing about how tough the Bengals are:

Week 1: Clev (3-4) W
Week 2: Denver (2-5) L
Week 3: San Fran (6-1) L
Week 4: Buffalo (5-2) W
Week 5: Jacksonville (2-6) W
Week 6: Indy (0- W
Week 8: Seattle (2-5) W

They have beaten one team with a winning record - by 3 at home, and lost to Denver! Definitely improved, but still a team that we can beat if we play our game.

Re: Just remember..

Great win for the Steelers...But should store it away. This weeks game is the must win game for the Steelers. Yes...Nothing will be finalized with a win or loss but a loss virtually puts you 2 L behind the Ravens if they are 1st in division. Taking away controlling your own fate is not what you want to do a mid point. If the Steelers can beat the Ravens and Bengals....They will position themselves very nicely for the home stretch. Add in the bye to get some players healthy and Harrison's return...You have to like their chances.

Biggest game of the year next week. We win and we should take the division.

Too bad Ari couldn't hold on against Balt.
