Per Raymond Lewallyn's Superbowl Predictions...One For The Thumb! Let's straighten out a few misguided ideas:
First of all, Pittsburgh is spelled just as you see it here.
>we all know that their only major obstacle would be the Steelers backed by their freezing stadium
Freezing stadium? In Pittsburgh? In January? Never happens...
>the first duel btwn these two powerhouses, there was no Ty Law or Corey Dillon
So? Pittsburgh was missing 6 key starters, and NE still was manhandled.
>get into Rothlisberger's head
NE did such a good job last time they visited Heinz Field.
>and losing TO is the only reason I think they'll lose to Pitt in the Superbowl
Having TO didn't help them against the Steelers earler this season.
>Alexander is only the BEST rusher in the league
Takes more than one person to win a game, though. Steelers have the best depth a running back. The fourth-stringer went for 102 yards against a “surging” Buffalo Bills team. Oh yeah, and QB who dominated the second half was signed off the practice squad eariler in the week.
>Injured players are comming back to the starting line up.
Yep. Steelers have the most Pro-Bowl players in the AFC. Philly has more only because the rest of the NFC is terrible this season.
>STEELERS & PATRIOTS. My team the Patriots WILL win AGAIN
Ummm...Steelers and Patriots are both in the AFC. They can't meet in the Superbowl.
>Will he live after a thrashing by an inspired, healthy, NE defense? NO!! He does NOT have experience
He has more experience now than when he beat the Patriots earlier this season.
>PITT will have to take the super bowl championship from NE, a team that went 14-2
One of those two was to the Steelers, and the other one is the only reason the Dolphins pick second in this year's draft.
>Steelers are great, but cockey and young
Cocky? Are we living in the same universe?
>Patriots are smart, have a much better coaching staff, and win in clutch situations
Except in Pittsburgh and Miami.
>steelers had a easy easy schedule whoopty due they beat the patriots EARLY IN THE YEAR
Steelers had one of the toughest schedules in the league, playing the Pats and Eagles back to back (weeks 7 and 8, BTW--middle of the season), and the Jets, Jags, Bills and Ravens twice.
