Pressure is on the Giants now, a loss pretty much seals it

[Bullflop]

Amen to a Giants' swoon, ma bruthas!! I'll be pulling for the Steelers with every fiber of my being . . . sic 'em Benjamin -- you da man!

 

[rags747]

I hear you bro, I will be the biggest Steeler fan in the country this weekend.

It really was sweet going into Heinz Field and ripping their hearts out this season, might be my favorite win of the season

Have to agree, the way we were able to beat the Steelers by retaking the lead two times in q4 on their home turf just may have been our best ball game this year. To think that we have been able to do this wih a defense that is only so so is just really amazing. Getting ahead of myself here but just do not want to sweep the Giants and then have them beat us in the playoffs...that would be killer once again. We need Eli and Co to go down now, no more playoff and fairy tale magic for them please.

We can't sweep the Giants

It needs to end better than 07...

Well we swept them in the regular season that year. We have lost to them this year so can't be the same

Gonna be a Steelers fan this weekend!

And the rebels and the yanks
You just go and lay your hand
On a Pittsburgh Steelers' fan
And I think you're gonna finally understand"~

Even on a normal Sunday it is Steelers over Giants for me. I hate all division rivals before I start hating other teams.

Order of my hate
1. Eagles
2. Commanders
3. Giants
4. Cardinals (loving this season for them, all the locals have shut up and returned to their old teams as the band wagon broke)
5. Patriots (mainly because of the cheating)
6. 49ers
7. Steelers
8. Texans
9. Ravens

Help me understand #8 brah. Texans aren't even worthy of inspiring hate are they?!!! I mean I sometimes forget they're even there.

I feel dirty reading this thread title.

Guess this is no longer relevant. Eye-roll.

The Giants defense is looking better every week to me (eye test). Their formula seems to be to rely on the defense to keep the score low and produce a few turnovers while waiting for OBJ to make a few huge plays. I think this strategy will get them the win in steeler land. Next week will be a statement game for both teams. I actually hope they win. If they do, and our Cowboys can get a solid road win against them in their house... we will know without doubt that we can dominate this league.

I would think this is a game Ben wins normally but i don't know if they can handle the giants front 7. On one hand marcus gilbert does not give up sacks or pressures and on the other JPP looks unblockable at the moment. Something has to give.

I think they will struggle to run the ball on NY but NY also gives us big passing plays due to the nature of the their defense. If you can protect you can make plays down the field.

on the other side the giants do not run the ball well but I can't see Pittsburghs defense stopping the giants passing game.

for me normally I would be thinking Pittsburgh a desperate team at home would win this game but I think the Giants are the better team.

One of the issues NY has is kicking. I don't think they are good and in years past they were always solid in the kicking department. Gould is I think 2-4 kicking and hasn't attempted a 50+ yet as a giant.

its going to be a fun game everything points to a Pittsburgh win but I think NY is the better team and finds a way, plus it would be too darn easy if they lose and we don't have to beat them to win the division. Its never that easy.

If I owned a terrible towel I'd be waving it right now.

Lets not go that far.

 

[Risen Star]

I'll be waving my terrible towel on Sunday.

 

[Risen Star]

Lets not go that far.

I wore a pig snout and feathers in the first half on Thanksgiving because I thought they'd win.

 

[Oh_Canada]

I wouldn't hold my breath. Eli somehow always seems to look like Superman in games where you expect them to lose.

 

[MRV52]

How in the bleep do you feel dirty? Lol The Steelers aren't no rival to me and even if they were if it helps us I'm all for it. I don't care if the Eagles or anyone else in the NFCE had to win if it benefitted the Boys.

Lambert, Ham, Harris, Bradshaw, Greene, Swann, Greenwood, Blier, do I have to say more.

Playing the Bears and Browns? Look they have a good defense but not an amazing defense. They have lousy LB's and the middle of the field is easy to attack them. Witten has a hay day with them all the time because of this. Let's really see how good that defense is now that they have a tougher schedule. I bet they lose 3/5 remaining games.

 

[Elusive6thRing]

I hate the NJ Giants and both their lucky super bowl runs the last 10 yrs !!!!!!!!!!!!!

No ****, 9-7 both times. How many teams can say they lost 14 games and won 2 Super Bowls out of it? I doubt any except the Gnats.

 

[Eddie]

I would be ticked off at a Cowboys loss to the Gnats. But if it helps re-focus the team, and send them into the playoffs with a stronger determination, then it may be a good thing. I'm not sure going into the playoffs 15-1 is a good thing for them.

 

[NeonNinja]

Go Steelers! Now, every single one of you forget I said this. Thanks.

it doesnt matter but in 07 they were 10-6 and won 11 straight road games to win the Super Bowl.

It was extremely impressive, the catch in that Super Bowl had a bit of luck but the rest was talent, coaching and good play.

They are no where near as good as that team but they are playing well.
