Bene...almeno andremo in campo incazzati.
Sono stufo di vedere gente spostata via come fuscelli, placcaggi rotti con disinvoltura o goffamente mancati.
Siamo noi quelli che spacchiamo culi e teste...sabato voglio veder scorrere il sangue su quel campo; solo allora ogni risultato sarà ben accetto.

Steelers have edge at QB
By F. Dale Lolley, Staff writer

PITTSBURGH - Back in 2004, Ben Roethlisberger took the NFL by storm. He lead the Steelers to a 15-1 regular season mark and won the NFL's Offensive Rookie of the Year award.

But it was what Roethlisberger did in the postseason that year that was so much more unlikely.

In his first playoff game, he led the Steelers to a 20-17 overtime victory over the New York Jets at Heinz Field. He completed 17 of 30 passes for 181 yards, with one touchdown and two interceptions in the victory.

Why was that so surprising?

Consider that since the 2003 season, just two quarterbacks have won in their first NFL playoff start - Roethlisberger and Carolina's Jake Delhomme . Ten other quarterbacks have failed in their first playoff start in that time.

"I had no idea what was going on," Roethlisberger now admits about that game. "I probably still have no idea what was going on. I was running around like a chicken with my head cut off."

He followed that up the next weekend with a three-interception performance in a loss to the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship at Heinz Field.

But the experience Roethlisberger gained in those two games helped him tremendously the next season, as he compiled a 101.7 passer rating in the team's four playoff games as they won Super Bowl XL.

"It's like night and day. Any rookie, they don't know what to expect in the playoffs," said wide receiver Hines Ward. "The Jets really should have beat us, but the Jets missed a field goal. We came out the following week and I'm sure it was a game he wishes he could come back. But the following year, during the Super Bowl run, he played phenomenal."

Such is the life for a quarterback in the NFL playoffs.

A grizzled veteran of six postseason starts, in which he's compiled a 5-1 record, Roethlisberger admits that starting a game in the regular season and one in the postseason are two completely different things.

"The first time I went through this, you didn't know what to expect," said Roethlisberger, who will lead the Steelers (10-6) against the Jacksonville Jaguars (11-5) in Saturday's AFC wildcard game.

"It was like, 'Oh, this is just another game.' You don't realize that it's not. It's not just another game. Every mistake is magnified. Everything you do has to be precise."

The Steelers are hoping that history of quarterbacks struggling in their first postseason start continues for Jacksonville's David Garrard, who has just 30 career starts under his belt, including 12 this season.

"I hope he goes out there and has a bad game, just stinks the place up," said Ward.

Roethlisberger, however, expects Garrard - a six-year veteran - to handle his first playoff start a little differently than he did.

"When you're a veteran like that, I think it's a little better than a rookie doing it," Roethlisberger said. "Still, it's the postseason and it will be different. But I expect that because he's a veteran, he'll be able to adjust quicker than most."

It will help that Garrard has some experience, albeit in a mop-up role. He played the final two series up in Jacksonville's 28-3 wild card loss at New England in the 2005 playoffs, taking over for an ineffective Byron Leftwich and completing three of eight passes for 68 yards.

That doesn't come close to the playoff experience of Roethlisberger, who has completed 89 of 147 passes for 1,210 yards, 10 touchdowns and eight interceptions.

"It shows up when you know how much faster the postseason is, how much faster everybody is moving and the decisions you have to make," said Roethlisberger. "I've put in the extra film work and study time this week and hopefully it shows on the field."

per le secondarie si mette sempre peggio: Ike Taylor ha la febbre. Townsend e McFadden sono infortunati. Polamalu è in forse. Sabato notte rischiamo di andare in campo senza starters là dietro

Buone notizie per Troy:

Pro Bowl safety Troy Polamalu practiced today for the first time in more than two weeks and is expected to play in the AFC wild-card playoff game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Polamalu, who missed four of the final six regular-season games with a sprained knee, is listed as questionable on the team's official injury report. Return specialist Allen Rossum (hamstring) is also listed as questionable.

"He looked good enough today to be a game-time decision," Coach Mike Tomlin said of Polamalu. "I know he feels well, but we'll see. If he does play, there will be no excuses. The standard of expectation won't change. If he's going, he's going."
