How could anyone forgot that avatar of yours?

I'm always hanging to the left.

Kleppie · 06-29-2005, 01:53 PM

I've only had the avatar since the beginning of last year. I don't know what I had before that, though.

We did battle over at FSW years ago in the political arena. By handle at that time was 'Klepto', I believe. We haven't chatted since then, I believe.

Nice article, by the way. I especially like the Steelers review. Short and sweet, but pretty accurate. The only point I would argue is getting blown out by the Patriots in the conference game. The Steelers were blown out in the first half, but came back within 11 points in the second half. If not for two stupid interceptions, they could have came even closer.

Now I know I am a true homer, but a blow-out is what Steelers against Philly in week 9, 24-3.

New England won, hands down, no doubt. I am just splitting hairs.

Yeah the toughest ones to write about was the Steelers cuz their organization is so boring. They are a more traditional no big trades, no big FA signings and build through the draft which they do a fantastic job at doing. But this team basically has everything they had last year minus a player here or there. Its just a wait and see how they are able to bounce back from the A%% RAPING by the Pats!

It pretty much was a blowout I mean they crawled back into it kinda in the 4th but by that time they were so far behind that any little mistake would be deadly. The Patriots just tried to hang on in the second half.

Kleppie · 06-30-2005, 09:24 AM

The funny thing is the Steelers did the same exact thing to the Patriots in Week 8. They took the game in the first half and didn't let go.

Roethlisberger was cool under pressure and did what not one person would have ever mentioned before it happened. He won his first 10 games as a rookie. That is unthinkable. The rarity is almost up there with Marino and the 48 TD season. (Not the accomplishment, granted, just the pure statistics of it.)

Thanks again,

Matt
