so retarded...

[commatosa]

remember when Joey Porter said "I know America wants Peyton Manning to win the super bowl...." Well now you can't complain....look how ridiculously biased this is....it's a poll, you'll have to vote on it to see the results, but all of these questions can be statistically proven and still everyone doesn't care about the stats.

O-line and RB should be the only things Seattle should get the edge in.

and don't forget that matt hasselbeck has more yardage and a WAY better QB rating

[ThriftWhore]

it's opinion though, so who cares? most of the world disrespects seattle, not so much as respecting pittsburgh.

and defensive line and cornerbacks.

[Doug]

and i'd argue stevens is better than miller

[ActorInThisPlay]

and defensive line and cornerbacks.
and QB in my opinion...

[BlackSheepBoy]

Anybody that has every played competitive sports at a high level knows that stats do not always prove who/which team has the advantage in a given game.

Especially if we're talking Super Bowl in which two teams from different leagues will butt heads. Stats really mean nothing for this game and it is very much opinion as to who has the overall advantage at many of those spots. You could start weighing playoff experience/age/previous injuries during the season etc. and those categories could end up being far more meaningful to the outcome of the game.

2) Which team has the edge at running back?

79.2%Seahawks: Shaun Alexander (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?statsId=5048)
20.8%Steelers: Jerome Bettis (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?statsId=2354), Willie Parker (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?statsId=7073)

I want to know who voted for the Steelers on that one. That one's not even close.
20.8% of voters are idiots.

[itsjdiggity]

I just voted for Jerome because I fucking hate Alexander

[still_life]

and don't forget that matt hasselbeck has more yardage and a WAY better QB rating

What? Roethlisberger has a career rating of 98.3, an 05 season rating of 98.6, and a career postseason rating of 97.6 Any way you look at it, his number is higher than Hasselbeck's. I don't know where you're getting a "WAY better QB rating" from, that's entirely false.

Of course he has more yardage, Roethlisberger missed a quarter of the season. But who averaged the most yards per attempt in the NFL? Ben.

and defensive line and cornerbacks.

D-line? You're kidding right?

Aaron Smith > Fisher
Casey Hampton > Darby and Tubbs
Kimo = Wistrom

And corner?

Ike Taylor keeps getting better and better, even if he gets beat every once in a while (who doesn't?), he shadows team's #1 WR very well. He held Chad Johnson to 0 TD's in 3 games this year. Deshea's a good veteran, and McFadden's a rookie but impressive. Dyson and Trufant are not that good.

and i'd argue stevens is better than miller

You can have the guy that took 4 years to have an ok season, Miller's a star in the making.

[fromwithin]

stats dont mean ANYTHING. these teams havent played each other so each is 0-0 like a brand new season. I dont want to hear anything about Porter being justified he's a whiny bitch.

[dai the flu]

i still dont get your original post. yes america wanted peyton manning in the super bowl. but that doesnt change the -edit- "opinion" that the steelers are better than the seahawks. and the rest of the football-watching world obviously knows that too. oh i know i know, its all biased steeler fans that dont watch or give the seahawks any respect...whatever. people have looked at the two teams and come to the clear conclusion that pittsburgh is the better team.


but whatever happens on february 5th, lets make a deal. ok? no whining. if the seahawks win, they are the better team. if the steelers win, then they are the better team. and we all need to admit that. i dont want any...oh the refs wanted the steelers, we had an off day, alexanders poor concussion..whatever. no excuses. whatever team wins, deserves it.

Big Ben QB rating was 98.6 this year.
Hasselback's was 98.2?

Hasselback had 1000 more yards on almost 200 more attempts.

So what the hell are you talking about?

Rating wise Big Ben is better than Hasselback in the playoffs. You really can't consider yards because Big Ben played an extra game, but he does have 4 more tds.

[mikeford]

and i'd argue stevens is better than miller

and you'd be wrong.

okay I guess I was wrong. I was comparing both of their QB ratings since december.

I was just making a reference to that and how ironic it now is. Cause now everyone is jumping on the steelers' bandwagon instead of everyone rooting against them.

[Drew Beringer]

This is like the millionth thread you've posted bitching about the same shit. We get it, Seattle is disrespected, no shit, stop reminding us.

[splitsecond]

Seattle is disrespected because they have always sucked, and when they have had chances to be great, the blow it. Its the SEAHAWKS for fucks sake. No one cares about them outside of seattle, of courseits going to look bad in the polls.

It would be no different if say, the Cardinals made themselves a contender.

But, needles to say, the reason i am not a believer is because Seattle played NO ONE all year. One game against a depleted Carolina just doesnt prove it to me. Im sorry.

[bigmike]

agreed. why complain about getting no respect, instead of letting your team go out and whip the shit out of pittsburgh, though i picked the steelers to win a close, close one. and it's not a band wagon pick. because i couldn't give two shits who wins really. i just want a good game.
and for seattle people to quit bitching about getting no respect, we get it. just let your team prove it for one more final time.

sounds good....I just read an article where the seattle players were talking about no respect...it's kind of exciting cause they're going to go into detroit and make america respect them.....knock on wood.
