Super Bowl Thoughts.

OK, so Andy gets one point for McNabb and one point for Hasselbeck, but he loses a point for McMahon.

MadMarchHare · January 25, 2006, 12:46:06 PM

The one time he defers to an assistant, and looked what happens.
No wonder he's a micro-manager.

PoopyfaceMcGee · January 25, 2006, 12:49:09 PM

Well, he's since promoted said assistant, and there is talk that McMahon WON'T be cut in the off-season. So, I'd say the Mike McMahon experiment is totally on Reid's head right now.

Can we not talk about farging Mike McMahon, please? Makes me irate just thinking about him.

PoopyfaceMcGee · January 25, 2006, 12:52:38 PM

You're right. Let's talk about how many rushes Reid called in the first game this season against Dallas.

Speaking of the Big Game a buddy of mine is a Stillers fan and just got tickets. He paid $6,500 for two lower tickets and isn't even bothering on staying in Detroit (big surprise, I know).

He's driving up from Florida, arriving the day of the game, going to the game, sleeping in his van the night of, and leaving immediately the day after.

Sounds major.

Sounds like an idiot who would rather drive for 2 solid days than get drunk and enjoy himself. he makes me want the Steelers to lose even more. Imagine the disappointment.

Awesome.

Rome · January 25, 2006, 03:06:35 PM

To make matters worse, he's bringing is old lady with him.

5...4...3...

I look at this game and this is what I see--

The Steelers, on the road, have put the stops on Rudi Johnson, Edgerrin James, and Mike Anderson.

The Seahawks beat a weak Washington offense with no 2nd option at WR and once they pretty much halted Portis, that was it; then they beat a Carolina team that was just Delhomme and Steve Smith, and once Delhomme looked like Donovan in the '03 game with 3 picks, it was just Smith. Once they shut him down, that was it.

The Steelers fooled everyone by coming out throwing early. Roethlisberger was on target, and it wasn't just Hines Ward--it was Cedrick Wilson, Heath Miller, and Randle-El making the big plays. So that puts them at an advantage over the first two teams the Hawks played. Then they played keep away with the Bus.

Defensively, I don't think the Seahawks played anyone that blitzes like the Steelers. They didn't fare too well against Washington's D early in the season. If Pittsburgh shuts down Alexander, it'll force Hasslebeck to carry the load, and I don't think he'll be able to do it.

Now, if you're John Marshall and Ray Rhodes, which Pittsburgh team do you prepare for because their secondary is just average--the one that has thrown more than they ran, or the one that runs quite a bit. Pittsburgh could come into this game and start running out of the 3 WR set.

I think the Steelers win this one and I don't even think it will be close. Cowher and Holmgren have been here before, but I believe that the "we're just glad to be here" syndrome will get to the majority of the Seahawks.

What's that drive, 2 maybe 3 days? You know, for the cost of gas, food and motels during the drive there and back, he and his wife could probably fly, stay in a hotel for a day or 2 and then fly back. And like rjs pointed out, he could get sloppy drunk while he's at it. And if he's real lucky, misplace his wife.

Try and find a hotel or plane flight into Detroit next weekend.

Forget it, Sarge.

BTW: According to Mapquest, the trip from Daytona to Detroit is:

Total Est. Time: 17 hours, 39 minutes
Total Est. Distance: 1145.65 miles

Not bad. I've made it to A.C. by myself in 15 hours straight through, so if they leave on Friday night, they'll get there Saturday afternoon, hang out, crash in the van, go to the game the next day and drive back.

Quite a few doodes did that last year from Philly to Jax.
