<![CDATA[Lamarr Woodley calls out Pats/Bengals]]>PITTSBURGH -- Linebacker LaMarr Woodley predicts the New England Patriots and Cincinnati Bengals will "lay down" for their virtually meaningless games Sunday because they don't want the Super Bowl champion Steelers to make the playoffs.

The Steelers (8-7) would reach the postseason for the fifth time in six seasons if they beat Miami, the Patriots defeat Houston, and the Bengals beat the New York Jets. There are other combinations that would get them in, but all include either a New England or Cincinnati victory.

Pittsburgh's problem: The Patriots (10-5) and Bengals (10-5) have little at stake other than which team will be seeded No. 3 in the AFC. With a wild-card playoff game awaiting both teams next week, New England and Cincinnati are expected to rest some starters to avoid possible injuries.

New England coach Bill Belichick hasn't revealed who will play. Woodley, last week's AFC defensive player of the week and a Pro Bowl alternate, thinks he knows already.

"All of them lay down," Woodley said Wednesday. "No one wants to see Pittsburgh in it. That's just how it is. Everybody knows we're a dangerous team once we get into the playoffs, no matter how we played the whole year. Once we get into the playoffs, the Pittsburgh Steelers is a playoff team."

The Steelers were No. 6-seeded in 2005, only to win three consecutive road playoff games and the Super Bowl. One of those road victories was in Cincinnati; now a Bengals loss to the Jets (8-7) could help keep Pittsburgh out.

"Cincinnati is probably going to go into New York and lay down for the Jets and not play them hard just because they're not going to want to see Pittsburgh in it," Woodley said.

Woodley emphasized the Steelers played their regulars during a season-ending 31-0 win over Cleveland last year, despite having nothing to gain other than staying sharp. Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger sustained a concussion but, after a bye week, returned for the playoffs.

"We definitely wouldn't lay down because it's a pride thing with us, going out there winning ballgames and shutting teams down," Woodley said.

Woodley was a lone voice among the Steelers' players, none of whom said they agreed with him. Safety Ryan Clark laughed off the notion Cincinnati doesn't want to play Pittsburgh again. The Steelers have lost five of their last seven.

"To say Cincinnati doesn't want to face us, that would kind of be a little dumb, being that they beat us twice this season," Clark said. "So I'm sure they have a lot of confidence if they do have to play us."

The Steelers beat the Ravens twice in 2008, Clark pointed out, then won again a third time in the AFC championship game.

"I think when you say that [teams will lay down], it calls into question the character of the players on their team. And I think all those guys are character football players and competitors," Clark said. "Now if it were last year's [steelers team], yeah, they probably wouldn't want to play us. But this year's team, I don't think strikes fear in anyone."

Several players said the Steelers need to focus on beating the Dolphins (7-8) rather than worrying what the Patriots and Bengals do.

"They're a team you can't look past at all," right tackle Willie Colon said. "They're going to have pride and they're going to be ready for us to get after them."

Nose tackle Casey Hampton and running back Willie Parker will understand it if New England and Cincinnati rest their starters in what Parker called "a game you don't need."

"Coaches have to do what's best for their team," said Hampton, who laughed when told of Woodley's remarks. "Being healthy going into the playoffs, I think, is their main focus. If the game doesn't mean anything, why risk getting hurt?"

What a loser piece of trash. Even his own teammates dismiss his comments. I know this doesn't pertain to us, but I love it when a Squeeler gets shut down. It makes my day.

Oh really? I guess I must have imagined that absolute ass-pasting they handed the Patsies last year.

Oh wait I didn't. It actually happened.

But I see your point -- kind of hard to be standing in the way when you're lying face down on the turf.

Playoffs, my friend. Playoffs

The only reason you got the first Superbowl was the Pats lost to the Broncos on 5 ridiculous turnovers and you beat the lame Broncos. No way you win that game in the cold at New England. No chance

This last Superbowl was made possible by Tom Brady being out, plain and simple.

Face it. The Black and Yellow cannot beat the Pats in the playoffs.

Karma's a bitch Squeelers. I haven't forgotten about Kimo VonCheapshotten, and I'm damn sure Carson Palmer hasn't either.

I'd just love to see Palmer and Brady rest their aching knees to keep the Squealers out of the playoffs.

Hey, mighty Pukers, you want to make the playoffs? Don't lose to the Chiefs, Raiders, and BROWNS.

Woodley doesn't have anything to do with the shirts. A Michigan fan had 50 of them made and handed them out to friends and family. Well, I guess its better you don't like his face than like it! 😵

Yeah, the beat us twice so "scared"probably isn't the best way to describe their feelings toward us. The Bengals have beat the Steelers with a 100% healthy Ben 3 times, two of them this year. Both were close games so as a steeler fan I like our chances in a 3rd match up. A lot of Steeler fans would even disagree with this, but overall Tomlin is as good as Cowher. In Tomlin's first 3 years he has brought in just as much or even more talent than Cowher did in any consecutive 3 years. (Although, this is still a bit pending becuase more time is needed before fully judging players) I think what Lebuea and Colbert bring to the table far exceeds what Cowher has done or what Tomlin can do. Bruce Arians has changed our offensive philsophy, not Tomlin. I can't blame Tomlin for not firing Arians after his first year or after his Super Bowl year, but it more clear than ever Arians is a moron. If Tomlin has the guts to fire Arians it will be done this offseason reguardless of how the rest of the season plays out. If not, your wish comes true, "those days are done".

This reason why I responded to your thread in the first place becuase I thought you insults of Woodley were unnecessary and just screwed up an otherwise good thread. Although, now I see you havn't liked him for quite some time.

That's true. He wasn't the one passing out the shirts, I know. My hatred of him is unjustified, I get that. But he's a Wolvey, so I have to hate him. Besides, Chad Ochocinco couldn't have put it any better when he said "You just have somebody that, like, you have the itch, you just want to fight". LaMarr Woodley is that guy for me.

We'll have to see what Tomlin does next year. Unless he patches up that offensive line, I don't see them doing very much, to tell you the truth. Their line was the best part of that team for the longest time. It seems that, with each successive year under Tomlin, the Steelers are moving away from the run and more toward the pass. But that's just my observation, I don't watch all their games or keep up with them too much. But from casual observation, it seems like they are abandoning what made them so great- smash mouth, in your face, pound the rock football.

My Personal Opinion is The Steelers shoulda shut the Hell up...WIN MORE GAMES !!!! Dont lose to Scrub Units In KC and Cleveland and at Home to The Raiders. We don't EVEN Deserve the Playoffs. I agree that Most teams would rather not play Pittsburgh in the playoffs , but Fat Chance We see the Steelers in anyway . And that is quite Justified.

It's pretty sad actually, one day they're sitting there crying on the Browns sideline and the next they're trying to convice themselves it's not the crappy season they played but other teams losing on purpose that cost them the playoff spot. I think it's pretty safe to say when things aren't going there way they fall apart. I cant wait till next season.
