Menudo Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/06326/740382-66.stm Painful punishment The Steelers were runaway choices as "the team that is the most painful and punishing to play against" in a poll conducted by Sports Illustrated of 361 players who were in NFL training camps this summer. That means, of course, they were polled after the Steelers won the Super Bowl and before they won only two games in the first half of this season. The Steelers received 31 percent of the small sampling of players. Their opponents Sunday, the Baltimore Ravens, were second with 11 percent. Six of the top eight teams are from the AFC. The information is in this week's issue of the magazine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wolf Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 After watching a few of their games this season, in particular against Pittsburgh, I have to think that Jacksonville takes that honor this season. Simply ferocious and brutal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFFL Chump Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 This year they have been mostly painful to watch as has the Broncos Offense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whomper Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 The biggest complaint was from opposing Defensive backs..They all have swollen hands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CD6405 Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Well, since that was a poll taken in the summer I bet most of those players would change their vote now that the season is more than halfway over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H8tank Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Yeah, ok, and the daily oklahoman states we have the prettiest goats as voted on by 33% of goat alduterers everywhere. The only 6 time Super Bowl Winners and YOUR DADDY don't scare anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perchoutofwater Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 The only thing punishing about the steelers, is having to watch them, that is some ugly football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doors27 Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 Pittsburgh is horrendous they are painful to watch- not play against Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menudo Posted November 26, 2006 Author Share Posted November 26, 2006 i guess the baltimore ravens didn't see this article The only thing punishing about the steelers, is having to watch them, that is some ugly football. Unfortunately, I have no argument today. This is the worst physical beating I've seen the Steelers take in a long time. The Steelers o-line has some major issues right now. It is a sad day for we Steeler fans. On another note, the AFC Championship game where the Steelers embarassed an over-rated Broncos team still happened.
