Steelers vs. Redskins Gameday Thread

C'mon TTF put a Steeler helmet on that Bee LOL! Kidding man. Good job !

 

Watched the game at a bar within walking distance from my house. One bears fan, one lions fan and the rest Steeler fans. Owners are from Summerset. They have a section for other fans and two guys were there. Had about 6 tv's on the Steeler game

 

Why? What does that do for the steelers?

 

Nothing but youre not from pgh are you? Lol

 

Nothing for the team but it makes us Steeler fans who live in central Pa happy because we're surrounded by Eagle faithful and they're obnoxious as hell.

 

REALLY happy with what I saw today- especially offensively - and the throwbacks weren't as bad as I anticipated

 

While we're on the topic of feeding off other teams' misery ... Chokers lost 6-7 to the freaking Browns, Jets got crushed by the Fins

And to make it even better, Romo threw his 2nd pick of the 1st quarter

 

They are reporting that Wood got hurt again but didn't say if it was his hammy.

 

He was probably reciting numbers. He does so like doing that.

 

HERE WE GO!!!

 

Agree on all points.

Had to watch the game on catch up so couldn't post during the gameday thread, but I see little to be disappointed in other than the by-now-standard injury list.

 

The Bad News Bees won and the Chokers lost! A very good Sunday indeed!

 

Yay!!! Thank you

 

I read a lot of posts by people saying they were surprised by this. Why? He showboats every single chance he gets, and has done so his whole career. The only reason it's not more known about is that he's only got like 4 career touchdowns. For awhile I thought he was slowing down with that, and I assumed he'd gotten an earful from the coaches, but clearly that's not the case. Lots of guys do a fancy first down dance instead of going back to the huddle (even in a hurry-up, because hey, that's what's most important), and that bugs me. But Brown is the only guy on our team that consistently deliberately taunts opposing players and/or showboats some other way when he has a good play, even if it's not a score. The fan base loves him for other reasons (rightly so and I do too) but I'm a little sick of the talk that he's all about the team and Wallace is all about himself, when you'd never know it from the way they behave on the field. I know, I know, the money thing. Brown took $42 million after one season of starting part time, and it makes him a team-first saint. :roll:

 

I am very surprised because Antonio at least projects an image of a humble hard working individual. I did not mean I am surprised because he never does it. He has been doing it more as of late which again disappoints me greatly because of the feeling that I have for him as a humble professional.

When he does stuff like that he just looks like a bush leaguer.

Bman

 

EXACTLY

 

Hard working? Sure. Humble? Regardless of what you see in interviews, there's no denying what's on the tape. Running backwards, pointing at opponents, doing flips, talking at opponents... If he's humble in interviews, is there any denying it's an act? Or is he only humble off the field? And if he is, does that mean anything?

Everybody says he's the hardest working player on the team. But he's been taunting opponents for as long as he's been here. He's gotten away with a few that should have been called.

 

Define taunting? Because before today the only thing I recall that he does that is mildly aggravating is doing the Holmes first down thing. I certainly don't consider that taunting. What he did today is taunting. And no, I don't even remotely think he's phony.[/quote:34s3gw5u]
He did it the first play he ever set foot on the field, on his kickoff reverse TD against Tennessee. Danced his way to the end zone and flipped in. Again against Tennessee last year, after a 30- or 40-something yard kickoff return. Held the ball out in the face of the guy pushing him out of bounds (that one doesn't even make sense if you think about it). Again today. Those are just off the top of my head, but I'm sure there are more, especially if you count things that are more like indirect taunting, like his flip into the end zone against Indy in the preseason. If he's not a phony, then I guess he becomes a different person when he's playing football, Batman style. But I thought when he was playing football is what we were judging him on.

 

I seem to remember some guy on the Vikings (Rudd maybe?) taunting Edgar Bennett that way back in the 90s after a fumble return. But he may have also been holding out the ball. Not sure. My memory's not what it used to be.
