I didn't get to see the pregame,but someone at work told me that Terry was the only one picking the Cardinals.Were the rest of the cast making fun of him for picking them?

Take a Hit, Spunker!
Yes it's once again time for your daily dose of GO STEELERS!!!!!
i havn't seen much of the cardinals games but the steelers defence is pretty good, not infallible. their linebackers and safties are great but their CB's can be better i reckon. and ben can get it done. so i reckon itll be the Steelers. i hope cardinals win though, i sorta go for them, but their always so crap, i just havn't really bothered

Good question. In other news, the Syndicate has the odds at 6 1/2 in favor of the Steelers. My guess is they predict that the Curtain will contain Warner and Fitz and Co. in a fairly low-scoring feud. If that's the case, money on the Curtain. But the Cards are working on a huge head of steam--even dopey Bradshaw sees this. I chose the Eagles because they, too, had a big thrust going into the game, but with a better defense. But like I posted before, The Cards needed to rely on their D and that's what they did. In the upcoming game, always side with defense. Edge Pittsburgh. But if AZ can duplicate last Sunday...Looks like Parker will start and Roeth will be semi-healthy. But Ligashesky had better get on Mitch Berger: more punting like he did last weekend against the Ravens could be a death knell in the Bowl. Despite their success, AZ still has questions in the middle D-Line. Tomlin made some uncharacteristic mental mistakes during the game Sunday. Don't expect a repeat. And Fitzgerald may need a lot of help at WR after the amount of coverage he'll see.
they had tj whosyourmama on espn radio...basically what the steelers do is isolated your rb on a one and one situation so, there talented linebacking crew can do what they do best and that's tackle and force fumbles, and that's on a running play...basically u wanna attack their linebackers threw the air, such as rb's or te's...their linebackers arent good coverage guys...basically the steelers want you to nickel and dime down the field, no big plays...the game against the colts (my team)...the steelers only gave up one big play and that was on a tip pass...and manning picked on their linebackers on the one on one's...look for beaston to have a good game

See thats too late and I dont think counts. Now had he picked them during the season then Id say :thumbsup:
I've got a feeling......PITTSBURGH'S GOING TO THE SUPER BOWL!!!!!!!! Bring on the Cards.......they have no chance!!!!! Ring #6 coming to Pittsburgh!!!!!!artysml:
Pittsburgh has not faced a team with 3 recievers with 1,000 yards recieving,a resurgent running game and a veteran QB like Warner. The Cards D is just middle of the road in the regular, but just behind Baltimore in the postseason.
I will give you there fantastic defensive line and safeties, but their DB's are solid, but not fantastic at all.
If it goes into a shootout, the Cards will be a hand full. I think the Steelers will pull out a win, if the D stands and Roethlisberger plays smart, 17 tds vs 15interceptions are not strong stats at all.

The secret ingredient? MY BALLS
Steelers need to shut down Cards' running game, put big time pressure on Warner, and contain Fitzgerald at the very least and dare them to beat them with short passes. If Warner can be sacked or hurried on almost every down I don't think Cards will stand much of a chance to win, but it's still a very dangerous team offensively.
I think Pittsburgh will win. Philly's McNab won't be around to choke up again!
Pittsburgh is going to need Terry Bradshaw to win this one. :tongue:

Three lullabies in an ancient tongue
Incredible story....the legend of Kurt Warner grows. Although I get tired of his bible-thumping, there is no denying the magnitude of his body of work as a QB in the NFL. He might be the most remarkable player to have ever laced up the cleats as far as a human-interest angle goes. He's an American original for sure.
I grew up in St. Louis and rooted for the Big Red way back in the 70s when the Don Coryell-led Cardinals of St. Louis were a serious NFL power for a short time. What a great team....Jim Hart, Terry Metcalf, Mel Gray, Jim Otis, Roger Wehrli, Jackie Smith, Dan Dierdorf, Conrad Dobler....
I admire and respect the Pittsburgh Steelers organization more than any other franchise in any other American sport. Although I find many Steelers fans to be almost as smug as Cowboys fans, the history and integrity of the Steelers franchise is as rock-solid as their name is. What a terrific football team they are.
I think this matchup is fascinating. I'm looking for a great game....very competitive and probably ending in a Pittsburgh victory (great defense should win out over great offense in a game like this). I will, however, be rooting faithfully for the Big Red to prevail....and anyone who thinks that cannot happen is a fool.
Hey....quick trivia question:
Warner and Roethlisberger both have Super Bowl Championship rings. Is this the first time this has ever happened in a Super Bowl?
Go Big Red......

Go Big Red......
The first time what has happened? That Roethlisberger and Warner play against each other in a Super Bowl, or that both starting QBs have Super Bowl rings? :dunno:
Not to mention that the Steelers were 12-4 with the most difficult schedule in the NFL this year.
