My parents love me, so they bought me a ticket to fly up with them and a ticket to the Steelers-Colts game. I love the Steelers and haven't been to Heinz Field yet, so this is looking like it's gonna be baller as hell. Woo Steelers! PS- Calling it now, Steelers defense is going to pack Peyton Manning's lunch. Pics when I come back!
That sounds sweeeeeeeet! I've yet to go to an NFL game (hopefully Dolphins when I do). Is it cold yet in Pitt? The only way I can imagine a Steelers game is with sub-zero temperatures and visible breath.
one of my best friends has season tix to the steelers, i wish i was on the east coast sometimes so i could take advantage.
Season tickets for the Steelers are ridiculously expensive. The Steelers-Browns game alone has tickets between 300-1200$. I'm leaving tomorrow. I've been to a few NFL games, all at Tampa Bay. I hate the Bucs, so it was nice to see the Steelers own their face a few years ago. Also, I may see snow for the first time this Sunday. Woo!
I'm happy my team is kicking ass this year. We should have beat the Giants, although the Eagles did beat us pretty freakin' nasty.
Seriously, we have the Clippers, and enough CA baseball teams to last us forever, but they can't give us a good football team? Raiders and Rams both suck(ed) completely.
The Raiders were voted the worse franchise in professional sports a few years back. ESPN: - SportsNation Sorry, second worst behind the lions. I'm a little surprised the Colts beat out the Steelers in this one.
I think the Colts really should be at the top of that list. Sure you expect a little drop off sooner or later from the only team in NFL history to go 5 consecutive seasons with 12+ wins, but this year wasn't just a little drop off, it was night and day. Not only do they have the problems they have always had and managed to overcome but they have a whole new set of problems on top of that. Much like the current global economy, nobody is sure where the bottom is, you hope they have hit the bottom relative to prior seasons and are coming up, but there is a little doubt. I think it'll be a decent game so long as the Colts can avoid the penalties and Peyton manages the ball well. He was supposed to get smashed and sacked by the Tennessee D, but that didn't happen, so I can't really predict with certainty how this game will go.
Yeah, Manning played pretty well last week, so this is looking to be a fantastic game. The Colts are one of the teams I enjoy watching when the Steelers aren't on, which makes this game so much more fun to be at. I can't wait to watch it tomorrow. By the way, it only took a little over two hours to get to Pittsburgh from Fort Myers. It was one of the easiest flights I've ever had.
The main issue with the Colts (early on) is the fact that Saturday and Ugoh were either out or weren't playing well. Now that Saturday is back and they have a feel for the game I think you'll see the Colts win some games. Addai's hamstring should be good in another week or two and I bet a second-half streak will occur. Edit: If Pitt plays defense like they did against my beloved Skins then it won't matter who's playing. They were nasty last week!
Never underestimate the power of Roethlisberger to give the game away. What really pisses me off is how much the defense was owning the Colts, and he just goes and gives it away at the 30 yard line, two times. Seriously. :/ On a good note, I took 200+ pictures in the first half. I was too sad in the second.
