Well, they do have stong players on that team but like they say all it takes is 1 rotten apple to spoil the whole bunch and cry baby t.o is that 1 rotten apple, and the way theyve been playing lately it will be an uphill battle for them. Theyre going up against phiili this week and I really dont see a win happening for them.

Well hopefully TO got what he wanted for Christmas and will get back into the game.. I admit he is a character :Rolls Eyes:, but he still can play darn good when his head is in the game. I believe they have a HIGH chance of winning the Eagles.. Hands down.

I only talk smack about the Steelers, because my whole family is from Pittsburgh and all are Steeler fans.. Guess you can say I'm the outcast of the family being a Dallas fan. :LOL: :LOL:.. It's all in fun.. Steelers are an alright team too. :Secret:

Trust me when I say I am not a tRaider fan, are arguably the worst ran franchise in the NFL....recently setting an NFL record for 6 consecutive seasons with 11+ loses per season :Shocked:

All I'm sayin is I find it hard to swallow that a franchise such as the Cowboys, who always have a high payroll have not had a single playoff victory in 13 seasons....I mean c'mon these are the Yankees of the NFL :Wink:

Picture the uproar in my family when the Cowboys lost. I'm the only Cowboy fan and all the rest are Steeler fans.. :Rolls Eyes: Of course they were all going for the Eagles to win. :mad: I just could not believe it.. Someone had to have been paid out for the Cowboys to play like that.. Cowboys just were not playing to their full capacity yesterday.. :Angry: Every year Romo ticks me off around this time of year. He needs to dump that broad. She is messing with his mind frame.
Cowboys will be back in town next year you just wait and see.. Only next year they are going all the way.. Thats a promise.

Out of no luck for me the Steelers are in the playoffs, so now I have to hear the jokes and laughter from my family :Confused: but, I'm sure ill have the last laugh when they miss making it to the Super Bowl too. :ROFL:

Romo has issues in December. He needs to get these fixed. They jumped on his bandwagon too soon if you ask me.

What is there to laugh about? Cowgirls didnt even make it to have a achance to the superbowl.I'llbe the first to tell you.Steelers will no be in the superbowl.And if they do make it,the will not win.They depend to much on Big Ben and the have a vetran QB thats just as good that they need to let play.

AAWW come on don't be too hard on your team.. I must admit Steelers are a good team. :Confused: (had to bite my lip on saying that one.) Steelers are by far a better team than most of the other teams that made it to the playoffs. I would say they still have a chance other than the fact that Big Ben getting hurt.. Hope the other QB arm is not rusty. :Neutral:
