steelaz look like a SB calibur team so far, and parker looks like he could beat out staley and bettis as the better, younger backpats lost to the panthers today so that shouldnt be too hard of a game for the steelers to win
so they played roethlisberger i see.I wasnt sure if he was going to play.i think they wouldn't of had that high of a score if roethlisberger was playing.
Don't get too caried away they beat the Titans and Texans both young not good teams. It's going to be a good game against the Pats, I don't know if the Pats will come out popin after losing or come out looking like they did this afternoon. But I will say, Willie Parker won't have 80 + yards in this game win or lose.
I don't know, Big Ben and Parker and the rest of the Steelers seem unstoppable right now, looks like this might go into OT.
