(I assume you mean undefeated at home for about a quarter century and not the streak that they're undefeated this season)

They lucked out cuz they're facing my Pittsburgh Steelers next week at Pittsburgh where they will be slaughtered and Roethlisberger will prove why he's rookie of the year. But yah, I have no idea how long the home wins streak is gonna last.

Just had to plug da stillers.

Yeah I watch the spanish soccer, don't really support anyone - though following Real Madrid more at the moment because of the brits there (and Sky Sports only ever show them and Barcelona)

Barce are looking a shoe in for the title at the moment, playing the type of footie that Madrid should.

Good to see Owen getting his first La Liga goal this weekend (and what a goal it was too)

Haha. Although I think the Steelers are a good team. I don't think they will be the team to beat the Patriots. I still think the Jets are capable. But I have a feeling it will be the Chiefs at home to stop the streak.

The reason why I don't pick the Steelers is cause Rothlisberger has had it too good as of late and is bound to hit a slump. And the Pats Defense is capable of causing that slump.

The Chiefs can do ANYTHING! The other day I saw them flying. No jet packs, no plane, just flying. They are that amazing!
I don't know what they have to say
It makes no difference anyway.
Whatever it is...
I'm against it.

In college Bedlam this week OU vs OSU going to be a good game.

AC Milan or Madrid with Beckem I think is in Spanish soccer but I dont get to watch it much as the English Premier League is what is most played on Fox Sports World. I ref soccer and have been doing so for 2 years now. I have a toss up between Arsenal and Manchester United I like them both. Fun to play with them on FIFA 2005 for xbox

College Football is more my thing. OU vs. OSU is gonna be good. OSU always has a way of making the Sooners lose.

What I really want to know is when Penn State is gonna get their act together. As much as I love JoePa. I think it's time for a change, before the program falls off the map.

Another program I'm very excited about is my very own UConn Huskies. Not suffering D1A growing pains as bad I thought they would. Maybe just maybe we can make a bowl this year after being dissed last year with a 9-3 record. (Just because we had no conference affiliation.)

I'm a soccer nut (play and coach). Madrid is a disapointment, they should be a machine with their lineup, but its the too much talent not enough team syndrome.

Steelers 34, Patrioits 20.

Roethlisberger about 75% completions with 3tds and no picks. Pats defense did shizzle.

Too bad the patriots lost.. I was rooting for them, but Boston's win over the Yankees still has me with a big smile

As or Real Madrid, they are passing through a really bad time right now, but they are starting to play better, they have won 5 games in a row now, so Im starting to feel better about my team. Hope Barcelona looses, I hate them way tooooooo much

There are so many reasons to just make you dead instead of answering but here goes.

Steelers got lucky against the Patriots?!? Maybe this year buddy but i believe three years ago when the Steelers were the best team in the AFC (Best defense since the Ravens fluked out and dominated that one year and a sweet offense to boot reguardless of silly Kordell Stewart) it was the Patriots who completely lucked out against the Steelers. First they get that bullcrap call via the tuck rule to win in overtime against the Raiders, then they get call after call in the AFC championship game for pass interference when the Patriots were feeling up the Steeler recieving core and catching none of the penalites. THEN my quarterback remembers that he sucks and stops playing at the probowl calibur he'd been playing all year! And our stud running back J. Bettis gets injured and goes on to about 10 attempts for 10 yrds on a messed up ankle and back. AND IT WAS THE STEELERS THAT GOT LUCKY?!


... the knife is comming.

Well I have to agree that in the 2001 postseason the Patriots were incredibly lucky against the raiders/steelers/and Rams. I just have to say that it was the Patriots year to win, they were a 10 to 1 underdog against the Rams but still came up with the victory. Last year they were the heavy favorites.. and guess what they won again. Just goes to show you that the Patriots can win when they are favorites or when theyre not, they are clearly the best team in the NFL right now, dont be surprised if they win this year and make it 3 out of 4. If they get to the postseason theyres no stopping them, yeah not even the steelers.......lol steelers

And he certainly dosen't play like one. Kinda reminds me of a certain New England Quarterback, who jumped right into the starters role like he was a salty veteran. Any way you cut it. Dropping 30 on the Pats is a job well done.
