SUPER BOWL!!!
The Steelers are going to the Super Bowl and Big Ben is still God.
The Steelers are the first six seed to ever reach the Super Bowl and the first team to beat the 1, 2 and 3 seeds in order to get there. And they beat them all on the road. With a second year quarterback.
Let’s repeat that: the Steelers started their run on the road against the third seeded Cincinnati Bengals, a team that was jacked up for their first home playoff game in 15 years. They followed up with a win against the first seeded Indianapolis Colts in the RCA Dome and another win against the second seeded Denver Bronco in the thin mountain air of Invesco Field. It reminds me of Arizona’s championship run in ’97 when they beat three different one seeds to take the crown.
Perhaps the biggest surprise of this run is that the Steelers are doing it on the arm of Roethlisberger rather than the legs of their running game. He should be winning over some doubters with his playoff stats: 49 of 72 for 680 yards, 7 TDs and 1 INT (124.4 passer rating).
I don’t know what’s going to happen Super Bowl Sunday - the Seahawks looked awfully good today – but it’s been a great run so far. Just one more win fellas!!

You know the last team that won 3 road games to get to the Superbowl? The '85 Pats....... They were steamrolled. Good luck to the Pittsburg "all of a sudden now were favored and now we don't have the same 'us against the world' battle cry" Steelers.
Seriously, I hope they win!
Every time your dumbass has run your mouth the Steelers have won so keep it up.
Is someone jealous because the Steelers have four SB rings to the Bills' zero? How did the years 1991-1994 work for you? The Bills keep trying though and I think that's just super.
to quote Sivlitz circa 1999:
"Fuck your life!"
Yeah... those were good times.
