Don't have to like them but you have to respect them

Funny how belicchik hasn’t needed the kicker excuse to be in nine Super Bowls and win 6

Look I dislike the pats as much as anyone. But all these excuses made for tomlin who has had as much or more talent is silly

How many pro bowlers did the pats have versus the Steelers this year. ?

Tomlin needed these excuses this season:
1. crazy kicker couldn't hit a barn from 3 ft
2. insane WR
3. Rb on strike wouldn't run
4. X- ray machine in Oakland didn't work
5. couldn't view replays because AB had the remote that's why my challenge record was 0 and something
6. the DC had 2017 defensive playbook couldn't find the 2018 version
7. Haley took all the offensive play books we had to re-creat plays in AB coloring books

See you all next August.
Pens are on the clock now.

Yup. Give belichick the talent on the Steelers defense and he’d do the same think. Coaching matters

Indeed. They realized the Rams QB is a dingus and easily confused, and they planned confusing looks for him that worked well.

Don't forget the equipment guy who didn't bring grass cleats to Oakland

Spring training just around the corner!
Pirates set to make history, lowest payroll team to ever win the WS!!!

You need to change your handle to Freebasepanther.

But they won the Superbowl.
The ultimate prize.
The only person who will asterisk their win with your meaningless post is you.
A SB win is a SB win.
Noone cares about the regular season or manipulates stats to diminish the win except for people like you who dont matter.

As the context of my reply -
Which you ignored was to address the Pats don’t lose to bad teams like the Steelers do-

As such it was
Relevant information .

Continue your filibuster

 

[SoufOaklin4Life]

How many times are we gonna do this same exact thread?

12 times a week-
Because the outraged old people are grumpy and bored

age is irrelevant, steeler haters just think it's getting under us yinzer's skin so they are twisting the knife a little deeper, trying to get a rise out of us..

The Pats just won the Superbowl and that all that counts.

My hope is that the Rooneys, Tomlin and the team learn something from this season and approach next season differently.
Get rid of whomever has to go, change staff, focus, plan, work hard, shut-up and play football!

Oh yes and win!

They are extraordinary. 17 years of sustained greatness despite the way the NFL tries to even the field every year. They have very rarely been dominant in a season or in a game aside from their win streak in the early 2000's. Most other dynasty's have been dominant. The Pats just win. Their players are good but not great aside from Brady. Their O, D and ST are always good but hardly ever great. They remind me of the old Red Army, Soviet hockey teams.

 

[Zeldas Open Roof]

Respect a team that did all if this? Never. Known cheater is an under statement.

The Patriots organization is the gold standard in every way. The only thing the Steelers had on them is no more. With the circus that the Steelers have become it is refreshing to see a team that sticks together. I'm not a Patriots fan at all but I do admire them.

You need to brush up on what Spygate was and how it impacted the rest of the league before demanding that New England needs to be respected.

Goddell quickly swept it under the rug because vacating wins on paper doesn’t do jack except keep people talking. Even with the way he tried to dismiss it people are still talking and it’s sure as Hell not just Pittsburgh. Ask Saint Louis and Oakland fans how much respect New England deserves. Indianapolis and Denver too

The Rooneys win every day. They make loads and loads and loads of money. Do they care about winning games, or any of this other diva stuff? Maybe a little. Who doesn't like to win games? But they care about a trillionth of what they care about the money.

I don't like them nor do I respect them. They have been caught cheating 2 times. Say what you want, but I still think they are doing it.

If they're not interested in being the best and winning they should sell the Steelers to a competent owner like Kraft who cares about winning and making money.

Otherwise if the Rooney's are who you say they are the Steelers will be like the Pirates soon. You described how Nutting and the Pirates operate.

But I think you're wrong.
IMO Rooney wants to be the best but mismanaged the franchise by hiring the wrong people ( gen. mrg/ HC/etc.).
Based on his communications Rooney sounds defensive, embarrassed and keeps going back in time to the 13-3 season like a senile old man.Mr Rooney what happened in the play-offs that year.
That's history! What have you done for the fans lately Mr Rooney.

After the Pat's SB win things aren't getting any better for the Rooney's.
The Patriots are being held up as the model franchise capable of winning Superbowls with a few stars and the rest being average talent.
Meanwhile the Steelers have a line-up loaded with stars and they're spinning their wheels and making the franchise look like a disfunctional family.

The Patriots have shown the football world how to manage,run, and coach a football team.

The Patriots have the best owner,general mgr HC, and coordinators in the NFL according to most of the sporting world. Just listen to any sports broadcast including Pittsburghs flagship home town station 93.7 The Fan.
After the Patriots SB win the hosts are saying this is a model franchise and the Steelers have alot of work to do.

Some hosts wonder if it's possible given the current thinking, and insistence on sticking with their 50 yr old business model.

Another Patriot advantage is they'll always hire the best available HC without limiting themselves.

The model franchise.Patriots!

The Rooney's aren't liking any of this!​
