Are The Steelers Good or Just Lucky?

Besides, I already mentioned one earlier in this discussion: when the Pats beat Seattle in the Super Bowl, they got a game saving interception in a very similar set of circumstances to those in which Harrison got his.  Why is that 'luck' for the Steelers and not for the Pats?

Because you said they exist and you had to be basing your opinion off of something.  You can't just say "it's true because it MUST be true," which, since you had to look them up, it looks like that's exactly what you were doing.

That interception is NOWHERE NEAR SIMILAR to the James Harrison interception!  I tried to claim that it was a bad call, everyone said that it was a good call and just a great play by Butler!  Pat even started another thread in a very lame and pathetic attempt to mock me called "Biggest Thread Failures" because my thread was called "Biggest Super Bowl Failures"!  (I believe those were the exact titles.)

It took you an hour to reply to this, so I'm sure that all of this were "off the top of your head."



That, however, is one of the stupidest things you've ever posted, which is saying a lot.  That's like saying "aren't the Patriots lucky that the other team didn't have a 7'6 player with a huge vertical to jump up and block the field goals that they won Super Bowls with?!"

Considering the Pats ranked 30th against the pass in 2017, I'd say it's a pretty safe bet that Foles still would have lit them up.

Why would his team have been screwed?  It was a play they had practiced and a calculated risk, just a lot of plays are.  They knew it could work because they had practiced it a lot and they executed it.  It wasn't just a lucky bounce.

(02-17-2018, 12:56 AM)JS-Steelerfan Wrote: Okay, this one I admit I looked up (but it doesn't change how good it is): In the AFC Championship game a few years ago, the Broncos won it when they intercepted a two point conversion attempt by the Pats.  But the only reason the Pats needed two is because Gostkowski missed on an extra point earlier in the game.  If he makes that earlier, the Pats most likely tie the game into overtime.  It was Gostkowski's first miss in 524 times.  Wasn't it lucky for Denver that 'Mr. Reliable'  finally missed one?  Denver went on to beat Carolina in the Super Bowl.  Oh, and something seems familiar about this scenario, doesn’t it?  Where have we seen crucial goal line interceptions before?  Is this one lucky or do we actually give the defense credit? 

I'll give you that one, but that's still only one, and you had to look that one up (which I think you did for all of them, which proves my point even more that the Steelers were lucky because you looked them up and could still only find one).

All of these are crucial situations that easily could've gone the other way, but I'm guessing you never thought of them as luck.  Why? Because they didn't happen to the Steelers.

You could go on when you look more up like you did for every point you tried to make, but, even so, only one qualified.
