Now it's Firealarmgate!!!!!

A Pats fan was arrested for pulling the fire alarm at the Steelers hotel at 3am . I wonder how the Steekers slept last night ?

Cheaters gonna cheat !!

Went off at 3am, hotel evacuated, don't know how long they waited to get back in. Of course it's not the Patriots actions, just a nut case fan, but it just seems like "back in New England".

I love that! It's like old time football before Goodell brought the estrogen into the league.

Pack failing to make anything happen on either side of the ball so far.

Great start by Atlanta.

Steelers looking very mediocre 24 yard net punt .
D looking pretty good ish, must tackle a bit better .

stlrman · « **Reply #307 on:** 23 Jan 2017, 12:11 am »

This could be a blowout !!!!!
10-0 already

stlrman · « **Reply #308 on:** 23 Jan 2017, 12:21 am »

And..... Bell is talking to the doctor !!not good !!
He has run for about 170 yards the past 2 games .
Luckily D. Williams is a fine back up .

Williams looks to be a better runner tonight .
A missed fudging extra point !!!!???

Too bad it wasn't a better game. Very one sided and Packers had way too many mistakes in the beginning between, missed field goal, turn over, injuries.

Good for Atlanta.

Now go Steelers as I don't want to see the Pats in another super bowl.

I know it's early in the game, but it's already looking meh for the Steelers.

It's not that early and the lead is now 24.

Unfortunately, I don't see the Steelers coming back.

It will be all on Atlanta to stop the Pats in two weeks.

I suspect it will be up to the Pats to keep up with Atlanta.
As much as I dislike N.E., I dislike the Steelers even more. Even the Giants

don't hold as high a place on my black list.
Now the Beagles,

Go Falcons!

GO PATS! I hope Brady gets ring #5! Should be a great game either way.

These have been by far the worst playoffs I can remember...what was it, like ONE competitive game out of eight? And on top of that, I have to watch the same team there urt again in the SuperBowl...all credit where its due to the Pats, but this is just getting so old. In this age of parity, its absurd that 31 other teams cant get their stuff together to where they can challenge this team. The QB position just has way too much influence on the team's success in today's game. Sometimes its almost as if the other 21 positions on the team dont even matter.

Anyway, just venting...I love the NFL...but ive seen this story one time too many. If the Falcons dont make it competitive by halftime, I could see this being the first SB that I stopped watching. Tonight was the first AFC Champ game I turned off in favor of a movie. Nerve. Dave Franco and some 20-something actors Ive never heard of. Was a fun ride. Much better than seeing the Steelers crap the bed.

I had the Falcon and Pats in our little football pool, but didn't think both games would be such blowouts. I'm a Steeler fan and I went to sleep in the fourth quarter. Hopefully the matchup makes for a great Super Bowl. With the wind out of my sails now I don't care who wins, just rooting for a good game.

Embarrassing loss for the Steelers!! An elite team against a mediocre squad, who could not rise to a level to play a great game.
I turned it off to watch Sneaky Pete as I was disgusted.

The Patriots want this Super Bowl trophy badly to make a statement about the deflategate horsepucky. Watch for Goodell's officials to give Atlanta some extra help. One of the more subtle ways of helping a team is to allow defensive backs to hold and otherwise interfere with receivers while you look the other way. Another is strategically calling holding at the line of scrimmage. Both are easy to call or ignore because both occur on every play. Big Bill knows how to get around this to a degree.

Dan Quinn is being celebrated as a coaching wunderkind but I expect the staff from Foxboro to know just what to do to an upstart squad and I have seen Matt Ryan lose his cool many a time in the face of excellent defense.

I have turned off many Superbowl blowouts by half time in the past.

I enjoyed last weekend's games a lot more than this weekend, but was not surprised by either outcome.

I hope the 2 teams rest up, practice well, and get ready to deliver an excellent product on Superbowl Sunday. I want to see a great game.

I expect Atlanta's offense to continue to perform. We will see if the Pats can be shut down, or it if is a barnburner of a final.
