Steel Men Are Coming...

to invade Kansas City, so get ready to see the best team in the AFC...

The Steelers are loaded on offense and basically have all of the skilled players a team can have. Plaxico Burress, Hines Ward, Randle El, Jay Riemersma, Amos, Bettis, Haynes, and don't forget about Tommy. We have one hell of a potent offense and can run and pass very well. Also, our O-line is developing nicely and is very strong up the middle...

Our defense is much improved after last year and our guys now have a chip on their shoulders. Our defensive backfield is improved with Mike Logan stepping in for the slower, departed, Lee Flowers. Chad Scott is healthy and Washington is playing more aggressively and making plays. Yes, he did have 2 pass interference penalties that totaled over 60+ yards, but I liked his improved play. Our LBs are the best in the business with the likes of Kendrell Bell, Jason Gildon, and James Farrior. With Porter out, Clark Haggans is no slouch. Also our defensive front is very underrated and can not only stop the run but can pressure the QB...

Special teams is probably the weakest link to the team but our punter and kicker are strong. We didn't do as well as we should have last week with this unit, but for the most part, we improved as the game went on...

I saw the great plays that the Chiefs had against hapless Chargers, a team that really folded down the stretch last year, nonetheless, though, you guys got a divisional win and those are always important...

Priest Holmes, a former Raven, knows exactly what the Steelers bring to the game. Morton looks good and your QB play is impressive with Trent Green. Dicky V is one of the best coaches in the NFL...

The Steelers are going to come into your house and look to notch up a big win. Can the Chiefs hang with one of the new powerhouse teams in the AFC?

It should be a great game and a meaningful one, since it could have playoff implications down the stretch...

HERE WE GO STEE-LERS, HERE WE GO!

I believe I gave you props for your great O. If not YOU HAVE A GREAT O! Can score on anyone. Read somewhere back in thread about your OC. I like ours too. Two seasoned head coaches with great assistants. 2 teams with lots of talent (still think we have more but…) As stated‚ its going to be a good game and test for both teams. I learned a little visiting. Thanks. Gotta go. Good Luck.

Yes, you clearly missed a lot of things.

As a quick example:

Prior to Sunday's dismantling, 13,632 Bolt fans polled thought:

56.2% thought Tomlinson will lead the NFL in rushing this season
59.7% thought SD would finish 1st or 2nd in the West
76.6% thought SD would win in excess of 8 games.

Yup...sounds like the fan expectations for a "rebuilding" year to Bob Dole.

waitaminit...you mean there are more than 13 THOUSAND Dolt fans? I thought there were like 6 or 8 or something like that.

Not only that, but Holmes routinely had 100+ yard games vs. Pitt when he was in Baltimore.

[KCTitus]

You know, now that I think about it...Im kind of jealous of Steeler fans. I mean look at that cake walk division. At least 4 'expansion' team wins almost every year until the NFL re-aligned. My God, think about how easy it would be for KC to make the playoffs with a guaranteed 4-0 start to every season.

I forgot to ask SDS how he like stealing Todd Peterson from us last year. *snicker*

Quote from Priest:

"Defense looked awesome, didn't it?" he asked. "People asked me, `How's the defense going to look?' And I told them, `Come out to the game and see for yourself.' "

He smiled. He looked around the empty locker room.

"They all left, huh?" (the reporters) he asked. "See, there's a reason I won't do interviews for a while. In my mind, all these people had opinions about me before this game. They all decided to run with their opinions -- `Priest is done,' `Priest will never be the same,' `Priest isn't worth the money,' all that.

"Well, they didn't talk to me then. They did just fine without me. So why do they need me now? They have all sorts of opinions about me. Fine. They can take another stab at it."

Come on Steelers run with your opinions - take a stab at the man.
Priest is on a mission baby and Sunday your gonna get rolled up on.
And our defense is gonna light up Tommy all day.

Steelers 10
Chiefs 36 4 TDs (1 turnover TD) 2 FGs 1 Saftey (2nd Qtr)

Bring on Holmes because our LBs are the best in the NFL and we will show little Holmes what Steeler football is like. I can't wait to come back here and read all of the remarks about how Black and Gold came into your house and dominated. No one on your offense is all that great. Holmes is turning out to be a very good back but he's not going to be one of the elite against one of the best run defenses in football. When you got guys like Kendrell Bell knocking RBs on their tails, Holmes better look out! He's going to remember when the Steelers use to stick it to him when he was a member of the Ravens. Trust me, the Steelers have the experience to COME INTO YOUR HOUSE AND TAKE THIS GAME...

Burress is going to eat up your secondary! What is your team going to do to stop all of our weapons on offense? We've assembled a GREAT OFFENSIVE TEAM and I know that the Chiefs aren't going to know what him them come 4:00pm on Sunday...

You claim that your O-line is the best and this and that but where has it gotten you? Yes, 1-0 thus far but wait until Sunday! You boys from KC are finally going to realize that the Steel Men from Pittsburgh are going arrive and send the Chiefs back to the drawing board...

HERE WE GO STEE-LERS, HERE WE GO!

Oh good Lord...that's terrible. Here:

You Will Suffer Humiliation When The Sports Team From My Area Defeats The Sports Team From Your Area

As you can see from the calendar, the game is coming up this weekend. I'm sure you are as excited for it as I am, as our cities are rivals and have been for quite some time. Your confidence in your team is high, but rest assured, you will suffer humiliation when the sports team from my area defeats the sports team from your area.

On numerous occasions, you have expressed the conviction that your area's sports team will be victorious. I must admit that every time I hear you make this proclamation, I react with both laughter and disbelief. "Ha!" I say to myself with laughter. "What?!" I say to myself in disbelief. How could you believe that your sports team could beat my sports team? It is clear that yours is inferior in every way.

When the sporting contest begins, the players on your team will be treated as though they are inconsequential. It will be remarkably easy for my team to accumulate more points than yours. There are many reasons for this, starting with the inferior physical attributes of the players representing your area. Strength, speed, and agility are just three of the qualities that the players on the team from your area lack. The players representing my area, on the other hand, have these traits in abundance.

I would not be a bit surprised if the individuals on the team from your area were sexually attracted to members of their own gender. That is how ineffective they are on the field of battle.

Underscoring your team's inferiority is its choice of colors. It is ludicrous to believe that your team's colors inspire either respect or fear. Instead, they appear to have been chosen by someone who is colorblind or, perhaps, bereft of sight altogether. The colors for my team, on the other hand, are aesthetically pleasing when placed in proximity to one another. They are a superior color combination in every way.

While we are on the subject of aesthetics, let us compare the respective facilities in which our teams play. While my team's edifice is blessed with architectural splendor and the most modern of amenities, yours is a thoroughly unpleasant place in which to watch a sporting contest. I know of what I speak, for I once attended a game between our respective teams in your facility. Let's just say the experience left me wishing that my car was inoperable that day due to mechanical problems, rendering it impossible for me to get to your area to attend the game.

If you need another reason why the sporting franchise representing my area is superior, look no further than the supporters for the two sides. Not only are the supporters of the team from my region more spirited, but they are also more intelligent and of finer breeding than you and the rest of your ilk. In addition, the female supporters of the team from my area possess more attractive countenances and figures than yours. Some of the women from my side that I have observed could make a living by posing for pictures for major men's magazines. The women who cheer for your team, I'm afraid, are far too unattractive to do so.

One of the more pathetic aspects of the team from your area is the fact that only people in your immediate area possess an affinity for it. By means of contrast, the team from my area inspires loyalty and affection in individuals who live in many other geographic locations.

To illustrate this point, let me tell a brief story: Recently, I was on vacation in an area of the country far away from my own, and I saw many individuals wearing items of clothing that bore the insignia of my team. I approached one such individual and asked him if he originated from my area. He said no, explaining that he simply liked the team from my area and had for many years. Interestingly enough, during this trip, I saw no clothing or other paraphernalia bearing the insignia of your team.

Do you still doubt that the team from your area is inferior to the one from mine? Just look at our teams' respective histories. In the past, we have defeated you on any number of occasions. Granted, there were times when your team beat my team, but those were lucky flukes.

The day of the game will soon be at hand. And no matter how hard you pray to a higher power or how many foam accoutrements you wear in support of the team from your area, your team will be defeated. We will win and you will lose. This is your fate.

Prepare for humiliation. It shall be upon you at the designated hour.

[Bwana]

Crime Fighter; Just make sure you have the nads to show up after the game Sunday. I will be here Win, lose or draw.

BTW: Do you like your crow baked or boiled?

[WilliamTheIrish]

.... I don't remember getting many fans in here from outside the AFC West during game week, save for the Pats Falling Allice, so it looks to be that ChiefsPlanet is becoming more popular.

This is a good thing.

One thing that will need to change prior to the game Sunday, is Saunders must pound it into Green's coconut to not hold the ball too long. Green was solid, but I'd rather he didn't take the kind of shots that forced him to fumble in the second half last week. Trent can't take those kind of shots and live through the season. The Chiefs NEED him to make any run at all for the division and beyond.
Throw it away when you have to Trent!!!!!


This game really is a pick 'em.

Chiefs 31-20.

[DaWolf]

Hey that's fine. Miami fans talked smack with their defense too and yes, they shut down Holmes, and we still hung 48 on them. This is not a one man team. You can shut him down, we'll just pick you apart elsewhere...
