Yeah ... we'll see you later, Silvercock.You're going to drop faster than Big Gay Ben in a toughman competition.
Pittsburgh sucks.
Zombo
I think anyone who made it through the season behind the line he has can be considered a "toughman". Quinn misses half the season with an injured finger and Ben has an MVP worthy performance in Super Bowl XLIII with two broken ribs.

Zombo said:
So now your trashing the O-line that just wo the Super Bowl for you?Yeah ... it was all about the stupendous QB play.
(Steeler fans are so gay ... and dumb)
Zombo
All of our players deserve credit when the earn it. That deserve cirticism when they deserve it. Both the o-line and Ben deserved both this season. They earned the most credit when it mattered the most. thats why we won the Super Bowl.

Zombo said:
Silvercock,This is why Browns fans get so frustrated with you idiots: you are a bunch of shallow fans that love waving towels and reciting your star players' names, but you know nothing about the game. For you to think a team can win a Super Bowl championship with a less than par offensive line is an insult to those hard-working players and and an advertisement of the stupidity of the average Steeler fan.
Ben gets sacked a lot because he is a big dork that is more comfortable going outside the pocket and creating chaos for his offensive lineman than he is standing in the pocket and passing like a man.
He is a pain-in-the-ass to block for and the running backs lack thunder as well these days, the O-line did not have an easy task. But they got the job done ... and you guys still bitch.
Maybe some year a loyal, intellignet, deserving fanbase like Cleveland's will be rewarded instead of a bunch of towel-waving hicks.
As for the subject at hand, looks like your blind love for everything Pittsburgh has cost you again ... whereas I will become the first Board member to win the "Triple Crown" of Prognasticating ... with victories in Pro Pickem, Bowl Mania and March Madness under my belt.
Skippy ought to let me bet that lunch money ... Skippy jr. would be eating like a king.
Zombo
I never said we won the Super Bowl with a subpar line. I did say (Due to injuries and new FAs) that the line we fielded for much of the season was flat out terrible. Ben's style allows us to make huge plays and win Super Bowls. No lineman is mad at Ben's performance or style......
I love how you attack the toughness of our QB and when I point out things that clearly make him tough (SB MVP worthy performance with broken ribs) and point out one of your qbs being sidelined with a minor injury you attack me, acting as if I started it. If you get frustrated when we respond to your stupid comments, then quit making the comments.
While you continually name call members of the Steeler nation and while you claim cleveland has more "loyal, intellignet, deserving fanbase" remember this: http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/preview08/co...tory?id=3530077

I never said any of the big, bad (flat out terrible) o-linemen were "mad" at poor Ben Ben, I'm saying the dumb Steeler fans were mad at the offensive line and calling them flat out terrible while they helped erratic Ben and gimpy Parker to the Super Bowl
Quinn tore up a finger, tried to play with it, and finally the team sat him down. He didn't cry, wince, look for the camera, beg the coach, writhe in pain, or give a big juicy "thumbs up" like your drama queen would have ... and has.
I will say this about Ben though ... after seeing his sister play for the Lady Sooners ... remarkabley, he may have actually gotten the looks in the family.
Zombo
--But she got the toughness.
The line deserved credit when they earned it. They certainly earned it at the end of the season and playoffs when they had enough time to play together. At times earlier in the season, they just couldn't get it together.
"Quinn tore up a finger, tried to play with it".... Thats my point. Quinn couldn't handle an injured pinky and Ben had one of the best QB Super Bowl perfromances of all-time (in the sense that he was able to make big plays and get it done in the face of pressure) with fractured ribs. He didn't mention it leading up to the game and didn't even tell coaches. (They found out when they seen the x-rays) You think he is a drama queen but he hardly mentioned his broken ribs. When asked about it, that theres nothing that can been done and he has to play through the pain.
Bens lays motionless on the field. 65,000 thousand people watch live and the rest of the nation watch and hope he is okay. (Well, I have a feeling you weren't wishing he was okay) He wasn't seriously injured (as in near death or paralyzed) and he gave a thumbs up to show he was going to be okay. Why are you so mad at this action? He suffered a spinal cord concussion and came back to play the nest game. Quinn hurt his finger and missed a whole season.

No he didn't.See, that's what is so gay about Steeler fans: It's all about Ben's drama, Hines smile, Troy's hair, and waving towels. You are shallow football fans.
In Cleveland, the story would be how the much-maligned offensive line regrouped itself, in spite of injury and free agent loss, pulled itself together, and despite being sometimes undermanned, persevered and rose to greatness and became champions.
In Pittsburgh it's all about how courageous Big Gay Ben was to make it through the season behind that line, and how he had one of the "all-time greatest SB performances ever" (was he even MVP?) as he courageously played behind that terrible line with broken ribs caused by the terrible o-line breaking down on him time after time.
Not only is Big Gay Ben a drama queen, but he is a product of Steeler fans, the biggest drama-loving fems out there.
In Cleveland the most popular player is the left tackle. We admire toughness and real football players. We respect how the game is won in the trenches.
In Pittsburgh, you win six Super Bowls, all because of defense, and all you want to talk about is your unspectacular quarterback and his well-publicized boo boos. It's a crying shame.
There you go again with the drama. In Cleveland the story would be: "Browns shutout steelers. Defense is #1 in NFL. Oh, and the QB got injured, but he'll be ok."
In Pittsburgh: "(cue smarmy music) Ben lays motionless ... a nation watches hoping he is ok ... he gives a thumbs up!! He's OK!!! ... and somehow, someway , he recovers from the minor concussion to play in two weeks. The nation needed a hero ... and Bennifer stepped up ... despite a worthless offensive line (more smarmy music)... long live Ben! Long live Ben!"
Zombo
Ha! I don't know where you got your quote from but I actually said this "...Ben had one of the best QB Super Bowl perfromances of all-time (in the sense that he was able to make big plays and get it done in the face of pressure) with fractured ribs". (why would you make up you own quote and claim I said it?) You can't name another qb who won the Super Bowl in such a dramatic fashion with such a great performance. Especially when you take into to account his busted ribs. Do you want to know why in Pittsburgh Ben, Hines, and Heath are some of the more admired players? THEY ARE TOUGH!
"In Cleveland, the story would be how the much-maligned offensive line regrouped itself, in spite of injury and free agent loss, pulled itself together, and despite being sometimes undermanned, persevered and rose to greatness and became champions."
We wouldn't have tried to blame FA losses or injuries (despite having quiet a few at both) both other than that this IS how Steeler Nation is reacting to the win. No one talks to you about it becuase you are too busy just attacking the players and fans with complete nonsese.
"well-publicized boo boos."
Like him not even mentioning he was about to play in the Supewr Bowl with broken ribs until the media kept asking questions concerning it. Yeah, "well-publicized".....
Its funny how you try to discredit our Super Bowl winning qbs and act like we always rely on defense.....It sounds like you don't know that Bradshaw made the HOF and it sound like you don't know Ben is probably just a probowl bowl season away from locking up a spot in the HOF. Everytime you think of your qb situation, just remember YOu COULD OF HAD BEN ISTEAD OF THAT TE YOU JUST TRADED AWAY! Of course, for whatever reason, you will deny wanting him, but its clear jealousy.
'There you go again with the drama. In Cleveland the story would be: "Browns shutout steelers. Defense is #1 in NFL. Oh, and the QB got injured, but he'll be ok."'
Now thats just funny becuase its was you who accused Steeler fans of being classless when they cheered after the AFC Championship game becuase Willis McGahee got hurt a few minutes early. It might even have been you who accused the fans at the game (and me) of actually hoping he dies....
"Browns shutout steelers. Defense is #1 in NFL. Oh, and the QB got injured, but he'll be ok."
I don't know where you were but thats how Steeler fans did react to the game...... With the except of shutting out the Browns becuase thats expected.
What do you want people to do when they see womeone laying motionless on the field? Cheer? Wouldn't surprise me if you were....
By "Minor concusion" I hope you meant "spinal cord concusion"...... Just remember, concusions are a more serious injury than a sore pinky.
I notice you continually attack Steelers fans and acted as if they are inferrior to you. Just remember this http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/preview08/co...tory?id=3530077

Except not a single soucre you gave compares to what an actual sports network has done. I have no clue where you get what I showed you was an "opinion pole". No opinion was used to determine the Steeler fans base was superior to the Browns.

Boy ... how DO you top Ben's 1 TD / 1 INT performace to edge a 9-7 team by four points, when you are favored by over a TD and you need a 100 yd return by your defense on the last play of the half to even be in the game? Where do I go to top that ??
HOW BOUT ALL THE WAY BACK TO 2008. When Eli Manning led his team down the field to score a touchdown and beat what was being considered the greatest team of all time???
Ever hear of Montana? Namath? Doug Williams ring a bell?

30-51-379-1TD-3INT
Rating: 64.1
Wow. Move over Montana! Step aside Brady!
Are you starting to see how gay you are about Big Gay Ben? At all?
It's not an act.
Zombo
Nice of you to randomly bring up Super Bowl XL becuase I didn't mention it. Although thanks for reminding me we also won that Super Bowl.
Lets take a closer look at the three SUper Bowl game winning touchdown thrown with 35 second or less in the game.
Two of the passes the qb had a bunch of time in the pocket and had a wide open reciever. The last pass the qb had to scramble like crazy and threw to a tripled covered reciever in the corner of the endzone. The last touchdown described has been considered the best td pass in the Super Bowl and one of the best catches of all-time.
Its funny you mention "gay" and a qb in the same sentence. Reminds me of Quinn and that little boy......
