but yeah, I didn’t think I’d ever see people get so freaked out over using a towel like a towel.

just because it is something to get the other team fired up about. it’s also dumb for cj to showboat before the endzone. instead of the tom jacksons and bill cowhers talking about a big win…this is what they discuss.

like i said, it was dumb….but i really don’t think it was a slap in the face to the steelers players or franchise, but to the fans that were waving them. i think white and bulluck were saying…get these out of our house. and PLEASE, people that have lower level playoff seats….don’t sell them to the other team’s fans. pittsburgh will travel well, if you are going to sell them, find a titans fan or here’s an idea….go to the dang game yourself!

Pathetic that it’s not Big Ben’s penchant for turnovers or their inability to keep the legendary Kerry Collins in check that infuriates them about this game, it’s a few of our players stomping on a towel. I’m really glad a piece of crap free towel made in China doesn’t represent our franchise. Hey, if the Steelers want to disrespect us right back, why don’t they go stomp on a large, flaming thumb tack. That’ll really incense the masses!

And people are up in arms about the fact that maybe we might possibly potentially play them again in the AFC championship game. Ummm….what? Our players shouldn’t do something because their actions might impact a game that likely will never take place (Given the state of the AFC I’d give each team a 50-50 chance in the divisional game. If this is indeed true, then the odds of the Steelers and Titans meeting in the AFC champ is 25%)? No, the media is right, as they usually are. This was an egregious lapse of judgment and because of this, we will now almost certainly get blown out by the Steelers 378-4 in the AFC Championship game

aren’t you the guy that made the post last week about how we were going to have to biggest fall of any 12-2 team of all time? You aren’t even a real fan dude, as soon as we lost one game you cried like a little girl. You can’t tell Steeler fans too “get over it” when you act just like them when your team loses and cant just accept that this is the NFL and people do lose. I am a titans fan no matter what the record, you are a fair weather fan and I’m surprised anyone listens to any of your comments with any kind of merit.

Their fans can be crazy at times, especially in terms of the psu, pitt rivalry so it’s not surprising to see them whining about the stupid towel that they brought into the Titans house. I hope we have a shot at them in the playoffs so Haynesworth and KVB can get a shot at a whole bunch of sacks. Their OL isn’t going to get better over a few weeks, it’s been bad all year, and Big Ben will always hold onto the ball too long.

…have won the game. Everybody and their brother thought they were gonna walk into LP Field and kick the crap out of the Titans. Hell, I thought that was gonna happen based on last week. Well, if you’re gonna have that kind of attitude, then you have to either put up or shut up.

And so now it is time for the Steelers to SHUT UP!

There’s a good chance that we’ll see the Steelers again this post-season and giving them bulletin board material is a bad idea. Instead of remembering this game as a beatdown, they’ll remember that they didn’t get respect and will get fired up about it.

Obviously one of their “fans” gave em up.

Get over it. You got your ass kicked. Don’t come to our house and wave your stupid towels (the only sports “tradition” that is dumber are those stupid hats that the Alabama people wear (Sorry J!)) if you don’t want a reaction.

Take your whuppin’ like a man. Don’t whine about some stupid towel. You didn’t invent football.

Certainly you have no idea what the terrible towel is, and the history behind it and the man that created it.

You should listen to your fellow fans about how this was not a good move, and is just bulletin board material. Make it to the AFC Championship.. The steelers will be there, and they will bring their terrible towels.

is that these two teams WILL meet in the afc title game and the steelers WILL win that game. now the steelers played horribly coughing up three turnovers but the real factor was lebeau using a very vanilla defense. i guarantee you that it won’t be vanilla for the playoffs. hat’s off to him for not tipping his hand for a game that had relatively little importance in the greater scheme of things. btw lendale white’s a complete f&%@ing moron (ever heard him speak?) and a wanna be thug so i’m not surprised that he would defile another teams icon like that.

they laid down – i was very disappointed in the offensive effort of pittsburgh and yes lebeau did hold back – he’s done that before btw. look, the steelers didn’t NEED to win this game – they’ve clinched the div with a first round bye and that’s all they really need. so there’s no point in showing the titans and all the other playoff teams your full bag of tricks. they didn’t lay down but they didn’t come out like this was a playoff game either.

once you get them on your website, they never leave

Yesterday was “Put up or Shut-up day.”

It is now time for Steelers’ fans the world over to SHUT UP!

was a game that had very little impact on the playoff picture no matter what the outcome.
if either the steelers or titans lose the last game of the year, would you say that would be significant?

I think the best way to prove you are the best is to win the Superbowl.

Have no problem with the Steelers fans hating us. Or any other fans, for that matter.

The media won’t ever give ups props, so let’s go out and be the Bad Boys for the NFL. I’m fine with that.

talk with you fine gents all day but i have to run. don’t worry i’ll be back to celebrate pittsburgh’s afc title win with all of you in january. i bet you’ll be as pleasant then as you are now. until then remain classless, kid yourselves that you saw pittsburgh’s best game, and merry christmas.

are all of you tennessee fans getting hype like you just won the super bowl?

If you paid attention before the game, in interviews you can sense the Titans holding this as a big game, saying ‘You haven’t played football until you have played the Steelers’. They were getting hype for this game and played their hearts out after suffering a devastating loss.

On the other hand the steelers interviews went something more like this, “We already have the second seed and a bye and a home game sewn up so this game is just another game. It will let us play more loose and just play ball.” They wanted to play hard but wasn’t really concerned with the outcome, I think they were just trying out some new stuff to see what it would do in a real game.

One part of me feels like Mike Tomlin was trying to lose, or just didn’t care about the game especially if you look at during the game, we won the toss but instead of choosing the wind in the 4th quarter, (what you do if you are trying to win, like we did against Dallas), they chose to defer and kick the ball to start the game.

Then throughout the game they ran the dumbest ‘draw play’ that is so obvious what it is on situations where you would think they would attack and try to get yards, but instead run a draw play against an obvious Run Blitz? I know our O-coordinator is not smart but he isn’t retarded.

The whole game Ben could have made an easy pass to a RB who was wide open for a first down but instead threw it into tight coverage for a big play, once again trying to play ‘loose’ and see what would happen. No worries for losing. That could be a reason why he was so erratic with the football and fumbling it 4 times, he was loose and keeps trying to make a play even as he is being grabbed down, now I know he usually holds the ball and tries to make a play but after his first fumble, he usually just goes down or stops moving the ball around and just gets takes a sack when he gets grabbed and hit.

Then you look at late in the game when they still have a chance of coming back in the 4th quarter before the pick six. They run that draw play again, the obvious one that has never worked. Then they put in the rookie Wide receiver who we drafted who NEVER plays, and without hesitating Ben throws it up to him. The steelers were just playing around with you guys. They just were treating this as a practice. Then on the pick-6 nobody is really even going after the guy. It’s like running after your little brother or cousin on the video game when you want him to score to make him feel better. You aren’t really trying to tackle him but want him to feel like he is actually beating you.

The steelers lost. They were beaten. But a lot of things tells me that this game was not nearly as important as the past games they went into. We wanted the 2 seed. And thats what we were playing for.

Good Luck in the Playoffs.

in this post. Stuff like this is keeping me away from the site. I love the idea of ignoring useless banter.

Hope he’ll be well come the playoffs.

I hope you’re not the best that the Steelers have to offer.

The whole “You won because we weren’t trying” argument was lame in kindergarten and it’s lame now.

If Tomlin played his starters in a game that he was trying to lose then he’s a heartless, gutless, moron.

I am pretty sure that any member of the pro football Steelers would slap you for suggesting that they didn’t play to win the game.

Ridiculous. We’ve seen some moronic trolls this season, but you guys take the cake.

If that is, in fact, the case, then they have no complaint!
