Steelers Excuse Thread

[plesiosaur]

I want to hear how the Steelers fans write this one off so lets get it going,

[T3hRaven]

The analysts are already talking about the turnovers instead of Flacco or Rice winning the game. We didn't score that many points off of the turnovers, and I don't think they were as big a part of this game as the numbers would lead you to believe.

[JohnJohnson]

James Harrison wasn't full strength...that's the only one I can think of.

[hawkprey]

The refs didn't help them as much as they could have.

[latenighthero]

Well the one steelers fan was pissed that we were still passing it so late in the game, when it was blatantly obvious to me that we were running it time after time (I would have actually liked to see us pass a bit more towards the end).

[JamesRules]

The teams chef gave them Frosted Flakes instead of their regular Wheaties.

[scrock]

haha, i do enjoy going to the other teams forums after a win, especially against the Steelers

not to say anything or try to brag..but just to see their reactions, its fun to be on the winning side

they do have issues as i said all along, their secondary isnt that good, and their OL isnt a strength either..and they are getting old

..and their fans admit that, so they know it..no reason to pump out my chest and rub it in their faces though, these two teams are great rivals and we have been on the short end of the stick lately...today was a good day

Hey man, I feel for the classy Steeler fans. We don't like losing either, for the disrespectful ones? I couldnt care less.

I do too. I just want to hear how they explain how we totally routed them on every side of the ball this week.

Especially after how their trash-talkers and most of the "experts" had written the Ravens off as -1.5 at home.

This ones my favorite so far

[flynismo]

Yeah, let's not let this get to our heads. If we do this to them in the playoffs, then I'll start thumping my chest a little.

But -- this is our year.

I wholeheartedly agree on both counts.

I think we can keep this thread going if we can keep it somewhat classy and in good humor.

[Purple Punishment]

Yeah I can see all of the analysts saying we won because of this and that but not because we completely dominated them.

[RavensAllTheWay]

Hmmm....oh I know! They wore their black jerseys

[RavensAllTheWay]

I was kind of against starting this thread since I haven't really seen any Steelers fans on here making excuses, but wth...

It needs some time. Doubt any Steelers fans post anything in here. But it will be interesting to hear what all the analysts have to say throughout the week.

[Purple Punishment]

yupp because they were wearing black (thats what you will hear) and it was only 79 degrees? lol (thats what you wont hear)

Yeah, thought that little fella was going to show win or lose?

[Shammy]

what excuse could they have other than not playing at home ? The Steelers were outplayed(dominated) in every aspect period

Fetal position in the shower. We hit them so hard, that even the fans feel dirty and ashamed.

Super Bowl loss hangover



Where are those spy Steelers posters? enough whooping Crows?

[Purple Nurple]

Whooping Crane.

[RavensAllTheWay]

I'm already noticing a lack of media attention with this game. SNF halftime crew had barely anything to say. They were talking more about the Texans tearing up the Colts and the Bears beating down the Falcons.

WE made the biggest statement today. WE did. They don't want to believe it, but it's so true.

[Purple Nurple]

Whats new? We know what happened. Thats all that matters.

[berad]

A number of Steeler fans are complaining about the 2-pt conversion, the pass attempt (Boldins OPI) towards the end of the game, and the fact that we didn't take our starters out...

But weren't the Steelers the ones starting fights and had Roethlisberger racking up garbage stats in the last drive of the game?

They claimed it was classless... Some Steeler fans came to the Ravens defense, though, credit to them...

[Purple Nurple]

We smelled blood and turned it into a blood-bath. Thats what I want and apparently, thats what we do.
