For the elite defense folks, something to ponder

whenever two 'elite' defenses meet each other in the SB, one of them is going to lose. so i guess it isn't all about defense is it?

a two time superbowl winning defense just lost to a defense that has never won one

so, just think about that hrrrrrmmmmmmmmmmmerrrrederp

Without the 7 points scored by Nick Collins the Steelers win 25-24. Not to mention these two teams were #1 and #2 in Defense all season. Still need Defense.

and without like a hundred drops by Packer receivers the Packers win by 20 points. yeah that's exaggerating but I can think of one perfect pass that was a sure TD if it was caught. :D

agreed though without defense neither of those teams would have even made the SB. and just thought I'd mention, Big Ben was absolutely worthless UNTIL Charles Woodson was injured, after that is when the Steelers were able to score.

Wtf kind of horrid reasoning skill is that? "When two elite defenses play each other...one of them is going to lose."

What's your point? That you need an elite offense? So...when two elite offenses play each other, doesn't one of them have to lose, too?

Am I missing something or were you actually attempting to make one of the worst threads ever?

      THIS MIGHT PISS OFF SOME STEVE SMITH SR. FANS:  He WAS detrimental to this team.  Sure, he is on the hall of fame ballot and is probably our best player ever--but he punched 2 teammates--and that is the tip of the glacier.  Remember, I watched him haze and belittle Dwayne Jarrett at an OTA. Jarrett even reacted by giving me a hard hand slap when I mentioned it to him--.  I know bullying when I see it (educator who has written books about trauma caused by abuse and bullying) I have commented on the fact that nobody seemed to be friends with Smith except Kasay.  He was a bully and the coaches allowed it. Bunch of Alpha males chewing the tall grass. Here is a list of all the WRs Steve Smith 'mentored" after they were drafted:  2003: Walter Young 2004: Keary Colbert, Drew Carter 2007: Dwayne Jarrett, Rhyne Robinson 2010: Brandon Lafell,  Armanti Edward, David Gettis 2011: Kealoha Pilares 2012: Joe Adams That is 10 WRs drafted and only 1 had some degree of success, Brandon Lafell, who averaged around 600 yards a season for 8 years in the NFL--it is noteworthy that his numbers increased after leaving Carolina for NE.   This proves nothing, but it is interesting and coincides with the list of free agents we brought in during that time.  My argument:  It is possible that whatever Smith contributed to this team could be a result of bullying others into more diminished roles--Smith called it competition, and in fairness, he was the hardest practicing player I ever watched at OTAs over the years.  But it seems he was Napoleonic in his approach to teammates, possibly damaging the unit and keeping young players from developing--transitioning from college to the pros must be intimidating--especially when an established player is constantly attacking (challenging, to Smith) you as you are trying to learn the plays and culture.  It was so bad when I saw him doing it to Jarrett, it pissed me off.  I think Jarrett was pretty slow and was unsure of the plays etc--it was his rookie OTAs.  This is not proof, just an interesting possibility.  If you have ever had someone at your place of employment with some authority start harassing you, you might understand how a 21-year old kid might feel.
