Funny... that's exactly what I said to one of my friends after the game. That if Pittsburgh got there again before the Niners made it to 6, then I'd be rooting against them

i'm going to be greedy and want that for my steelers. they do, after all, tend to win superbowls in pairs...jefhatfield said:and it would be great to have them be the first to win six superbowl rings
zimv20 said:btw, i was noting the other day that one my two favorite teams, the steelers and bears, has been a participant in every superbowl evenly divisible by 10.
so i am predicting bears vs steelers in superbowl L.
okay, but i'm off the hook if any of the following happen:~Shard~ said:I'm going to remember that 10 years from now and calll you on that if you're wrong.

not happy. i am a steelers fan first and foremost. but if he's gonna go anywhere, i'm glad it might be here (i'm in chicago).quigleybc said:As a Bears and a Steeler fan...how do you feel about Antwaan Randle El being almost a lock to get sent to the Bears next year?
zimv20 said:where did you hear about his transaction?
it'll be interesting to see if he sticks around for less money. why not? he's playing for a good team, obviously.quigleybc said:it's up to Rooney to match that...and he's not really known for that so....we'll see.

2. the bears and steelers end up in the same conference
3. one or both teams is no longer in existence
4. the refs are sponsored by Fox

I'm not happy about that at all..

and it's been talked about by a few different people for the last few weeks...
Chicago is supposedly prepared to offer ARE some serious $ for his services...so it's up to Rooney to match that...and he's not really known for that so....we'll see.
trebblekicked said:if not chicago, somebody is going to overpay for him, and rooney will let him go. he's the kind of guy that can break a game open, but if you have to count on him making the big play for you, you're in trouble.
he's a solid receiver, great kick returner, and defiantly not a quarterback (he can throw a great ball to a wide open guy with no one in his face, but he's too small to see over the OL, and wouldn't be able to stand in there against the rush).
look for a team on the brink to bring him in (chicago, denver, KC, new england), and pay more than he's worth. the steelers may just draft another utility type in the second round, or go after a tall deep threat in the first.
the signing i'm more worried about is chris hope. good safeties are rare nowadays- with them using polamalu the way they do, they need a solid guy who can handle the deep part of the field when troy's doing his zany thing. hope's been good, and going to get better.
also, they need to get a center in the draft- hartings only has another year or two in him.
as if they learned something by the kordell stewart era...trebblekicked said:rooney will let him go. he's the kind of guy that can break a game open, but if you have to count on him making the big play for you, you're in trouble.
same here. taking nothing from the talents of polamalu, lebeau can use him like he can because of the presence of hope, imo.the signing i'm more worried about is chris hope.
There is a reason Randle El isn't under center in the NFL. He's a very good athlete (just like K. Stewart) but that's not enough to be a good QB in the NFL (just ask K. Stewart). Using Randel El for the occasional trick/option play is great, but being under center isn't playing him to his strengths IMO.jefhatfield said:he he
are we talking about randel-el (sp?)?
fifth all time passer in college history, sixth in heisman consideration his senior year at indiana university!
i don't care if he is three feet tall, there are thousands of people who have played qb in college football and only four, ever, have more yards than him
Great example. Detmer did win the Heisman. He also held (maybe still holds, I'm not sure) all time NCAA records for completions, yards, and TDs. None of that lead to a great NFL career.LethalWolfe said:Good in college doesn't mean good in the NFL. Ty Detmer was one of the greatest college QB's ever, but he didn't exactly light it up in the NFL.![]()
I remember reading an article in a Chicago newspaper when the Bears played the Steelers in the regular season saying he would love to come and play for the Bears (he's from the south side). He said it was always a dream to play for his favorite team. That, coupled with the fact that Angelo likes to spend money and they're in the market for a help on offense and in the return game I think gives the Bears the best shot at landing him. Personally I would love to see him in a Bears uniform. It would really sure up the return game which was shaky this year after being one of the best 2 years ago. It would also help their young receiving core which showed some decent potential at the end of the year with Gage and Berrian performing well the last few weeks of the regular season as well as Bradley before he got injured. I'm hoping Moose just had an off year after moving to Chicago and will be the sure handed receiver he claimed to be upon arriving to Chicago. Then they need to get a good tight end out of the draft. If the Bears can sure up their receiving core next year they could be a very vert hard team to beat next year.zimv20 said:it'll be interesting to see if he sticks around for less money. why not? he's playing for a good team, obviously.
trebblekicked said:East: Dolphins (crazy #1; but not that crazy if you think about it)
He'd be making a big mistake leaving. A great second option as a receiver in a run-first offense, and a nice "slash" option and kick returner, he fits in perfectly with the Steelers. I don't see him fitting in another team. No one else does the gadget plays like the Steelers. He's hardly a good drop-back quarterback (the height is a real issue in the NFL, much more so than college) and he doesn't have the height or speed to be a #1 receiver, which is what they'd want him to be if he was paid big money.trebblekicked said:if not chicago, somebody is going to overpay for him, and rooney will let him go. he's the kind of guy that can break a game open, but if you have to count on him making the big play for you, you're in trouble.
