Aww man, Iron Head, thanks for rubbing it in. .375 percentage LOL. Darth Plaugeis got the same as me. I don't smoke weed either, so what does that say about me? Aww man.
Sorry, my friend. If I could cheat votes, Congress would all be full of Libertarians
the last time the Jets went into Pittsburgh for the AFC Championship
Sorry Prodigal Son, that never happened
And now, a history lesson...
All time regular season vs record: Steelers 15, Jets 4
All time playoff vs record: Steelers 1, Jets 0
Championship game appearances since the AFL/NFL merger: Steelers 15 (an NFL record), Jets 4
Super Bowl Appearances: Steelers 7, Jets 0
Super Bowl Championships: Steelers 6, Jets 0
NFL Championships: Steelers 0, Jets 1 <------------ had to give the Jets that. It was before the merger
Now on to the AFC Championship game: 7 (I tried to keep them to 5) reasons the Jets will not repeat their 12/19/2010 win in Pittsburgh...
1. The Jets scored a TD on the opening KO. That's not likely to happen again. Take that touchdown away, Steelers win
2. Starters Troy Polamalu (SS), Heath Miller (TE) and Aaron Smith (DE) did not play. Polamalu and Miller will start in the AFCC game*. Aaron Smith (DE) may play on Sunday
3. Steelers Defense. 1st in points allowed. 1st in sacks. 1st against the run. Second in total yards allowed
4. Mark Sanchez. Last meeting, he was 19-for-29 for 170 yards and no passing touchdowns. His only touchdown was on an end-around run to tie the score. That won't happen again this week. Take THAT to the bank
5. On 1st and 10 from their own 3, with 2:45 left in the game, the Jets stopped Mewelde Moore in the Pittsburgh endzone for a safety. That play effectively ended the game. Every Steeler fan on the face of the Earth knows that MeMo should not have carried the ball in that situation. Bruce Ariens knows it now too.
6. Head to head, the Steelers are better at every position except cornerback.
7. Ben Roethlisberger. He has brought the Steelers to the AFC Championship Game in four of his seven years in the league. He has the highest winning percentage of any QB in playoff history. If the Steelers win this year, he will have as many rings as Tom Brady, and he already has more than Peyton Manning.
*The last two throws by BR7 into the endzone...to win the game...were to Pittsburgh's 2nd string TE, Matt Spaeth. If Heath Miller had been in, catch made/game won

As a lifetime Jets fan, I sit quietly and wonder if this is the year the curse is lifted. It's been 40 years of hell.
Congratulations on your big win yesterday. Jhe Jets did what very few people thought they could. I figured they'd win if they could get to Brady. They did.
That being said, I'm afraid the clock stricks midnight for New York at approximately 9:30 PM EST on Sunday

Darth did not take the lose very well.........
I need some alone and quiet Time!!!
Darth, I can't say that I'm not happy that New England is gone. They beat us twice in the AFCC game, in Pittsburgh. The Jets beat the Patsies exactly the way that I predicted they could. Hit Brady, hit Brady and then hit Brady. He hates to get his jersey dirty and when he does, he gets rattled.
I do sympathize with how you feel, though. Back in '95, the Chargers came into Pittsburgh for the Championship game as heavy underdogs. I can still see Neil O'Donnell throwing low and incomplete to Barry Foster in the endzone on 4th and goal from the 3 to seal the win for San Diego. That was the sickest I've ever been after a loss. It took me weeks to recover.
But you'll get over it eventually. That's why God invented Next Year.

The song "Renegade" by the band Styx has been played at Heinz Field for years. They play the music through the loudspeakers and play a video of Steeler season highlights on the big screen. They do this during timeouts to pump up the team and the crowd.
This is a video made by the senior class of Chartiers Valley High School outside Pittsburgh. Even if you dislike football or the Steelers, the video is really cool. These kids put a lot of time and effort into it. It's well worth watching...
