NIGHT STALKER Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Did you expect anything different? Maybe one day we'll kick off the season...hopefully in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
124 Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Of course. The Super Bowl Champ recently has always kicked off at home and I said it before...Pittsburgh should play either Denver, Indy or Cincy. I really hope it's Cincy because not only is it a rivalry, it's a division game, it's the return of Carson Palmer and it's the re-match the Wild Card Game.....what more do you want?

Sperm Edwards Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Did you expect anything different? Maybe one day we'll kick off the season...hopefully in the near future. We did recently. I think in 2003. Didn't we play the Redskins in Japan on a Thursday night? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatsFanTX Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Did you expect anything different? Maybe one day we'll kick off the season...hopefully in the near future. You do realize that to do that, the Jets would need to win the Super Bowl? Not happening anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIGHT STALKER Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Yes TX...I thought Magnini had your stamp of approval? I figured in a few years when the Pats and Jets will be reversed in the standings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with Mangini, the Jets don't have a chance of knocking off the Pats in the AFCE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GimmeShelter Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Nah, the Pats are loaded at least for the next decade. Even with Mangini, the Jets don't have a chance of knocking off the Pats in the AFCE. Off of 2005, any team with a record of around .500 has a shot at knocking off the PATS. Hopefully we get there quickly. It was a nice run but the Pats are just another team now who were lucky to be in a bad division this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indi isn't on our schedule next year. At least, not at home. Heres our home schedule. Baltimore Cincinnati Cleveland Denver Kansas City New Orleans Tampa Bay Miami I personally want either Denver or Tampa Bay the first week. Either a re-match of the AFCC or Cowher vs Chucky.

Garb Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 A Cincy/Pitt game would be crappola since Pitt took out Palmer in the playoffs and his recoverey should take over a year. There would be no reason for Tampa to play in the opener against an AFC opponent and SB chump. That leaves Denver. If Denver signs Owens, Pitt loses big.

Garb Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Do I hear some sour grapes from dethroned Pats fan Garb- come on Steelers lose big? Did you watch the SB? If Plummer can get the ball to him (yes, BIG if) Owens will kill Pitt....shoot, he almost single-handily beat my Pats in the SB (he abused Randall Gay like a red-headed step-child in that game - a mis-match of epic proprtions). Plus - I hate the Steelers and most of their putrid fans (not you, Paul - you are the only Pitt Fan that appears to be messageboard nice). Sorry. It's the way it is. Pats fans hate Colts and Pitt. Much like Jets fans hate Phins and Pats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
124 Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Hey StillerPaul If it's Bengals / Steelers I'll score tickets from my bud David Pollack and I'll be there...so get ready to tailgate if it's Cincy / Steelers...cause I would definitely go because I wouldn't be missing the Jets game.

StillerPaul Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Do I hear some sour grapes from dethroned Pats fan Garb- come on Steelers lose big? Uh huh. Garb is still trying to come to terms with it all. Beats the heck out of me how she'll react when the Steelers clean up the field with the Pats on their way to a repeat next year.

You are ON, my friend. I'll even make sure NO Steelers fan messes with ya! In fact, even if they don't open the season, we can still go to the game!

NYJ EcKo151 Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 I think the last team to win the Super Bowl then play their opener on the road was the Bucs. In 2002 they closed down Veterans stadium then went on to beat the Raiders... Next season they started at Philadelphia and opened up Lincoln Financial Field with Philly losing...Tough beats for Phils... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMJets Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 If Palmer is healthy, I'd love to see Bengals/Steelers. But I'd count on it being Broncos/Steelers, especially if Denver signs Owens, as another poster mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
