View Full Version : Peter King is and idiot, Part 2
OnTheWarpath15

Last week, he predicts the Cardinals winning 19-10, with Leinart completing 70% of his passes.....
Whoops, oh-for-two.......
This week:
Matt Leinart had a close-only-counts-in-horseshoes day, but I like his cool in almost bringing the Cardinals back in his first NFL start.
Notice he didn't mention the reason he was in the position to bring the Cardinals back. **cough** late interception **cough**
Here's his prelude to picking against us again this week:
I think it's not over for the Steelers. Not at all. They've played a very difficult schedule -- Miami, at Jacksonville, Cincinnati, bye, at San Diego -- and should be able to get the ship righted with Kansas City and Oakland coming in two of the next three weeks. It's so hard to build a pocket that holds out the San Diego front seven.
Am I the only one that hopes he chokes on one of those Starbucks beverages he's always rambling about?

I normally like and respect King as a writer, even though i dont always agreee with alot of his picks. Believe me, he doesnt know any more than most people on this board.
I also sent King a nasty email asking him why he never mentioned the death of Buck O' Neil over the weekend among all his incessant MLB ramblings in his MMQB column. I thought that was pretty sad......
Of course....nothing was ever mentioned about it in his column today....

If our O line wasn't so jacked up, I'd have no problem picking us to win this game.
Even then, I'd still give us a 35-45% chance, if not better.
For King to just lump us in with the fuggin Raiders is a bit overboard, IMO.

Ok tell me.......who's blocking Joey Porter? We had some severe struggles against Arizona's rush and this teams is alot better.
I expect both teams to look like ass on offense in this game but Pittsbugh is at home so my prediction would be Pittsburgh in a close game.

Joey Porter isn't hard to block, the problem is actually getting a man on him cause of LeBeau's schemes. Porter gets 70% of his sacks and pressures unblocked. The Steelers pass rush is so good because of Dick LeBeau, not Joey Porter. Pittsburgh's defense is to linebackers what Denver is to running backs.

Ah well that makes me even less comfortable seeing as sometimes our lineman look like they don't know who they're suppose to be blocking.

I don't expect us to score a lot of points. I don't expect either team to score more then 20. I expect the same type of game plan we took into Denver, with maybe a few more playaction shots downfield since Huard is gaining confidence.
I am hoping that we also do plenty of screens early so we can take adantage of how quickly the Steelers' LBs are going to be getting into our backfield on passing downs.
This is going to be a field position, slug it out type of game. If Ben continues to suck, and if our defense keeps playing at a high level, the game will still be close in the 4th quarter. We will have a shot.
I'd ask Mecca what color the sky is in his world, but it's apparently always falling on his head.

First off, how Pittsburgh has played defense in the past means jack shit.
Personally, I took what was posted to mean that Pittsburgh doesn't have a decided advantage in any category.
When Pittsburgh has the ball: Advantage Chiefs
When Kansas City has the ball: Advantage Pittsburgh
IMHO, the only reason Pittsburgh should get the (slight) nod in this game is that they're playing at home.

Mario Williams is not near as polished as Hali is, I figured Hali would be a 5-8 sack guy in the NFL a good starter and that's about it. Mario Williams in a few years when he becomes polished can be a pro bowler.

That's not what you said on draft day.

I'm going on record to say that Tamba2 will consistenty outperform Mario in just about every single category. Ive seen W play and he is the one who lacks quicks and instincts, if ya wanna find the ball look for Mr.T.

Courtney Brown was a can't miss first rounder at DE too.
He turned out wonderfully.
Why is it really stupid? Because you don't agree with it? Hali has been a large part of turning around a horrid defense. He has made the difference with Ty Law.

I remember you posting Hali was a REACH not a 5-8 sack guy-but I am probably wrong.

I would also like to point out that Pitt's D has been very hit and miss in recent years. They are getting gashed in Pass D this year, and had severe problems with it in 02 and 03. Yes the Run D has been there and the Pass D has been pretty good the last few years, but this isn't the Steel curtain in terms of longevity of dominance.

Pitt's defence is smoke and mirrors. They are the products of a great defensive scheme. That makes their defense particularly dominant when they get an early lead, and slightly weaker when they're behind.
Solution for an offense that needs as much help as it can get? Score first, score early.
I do think it's doable. If we can muster a couple field goals in our first few possessions and shut down their O, LJ can start running downhill and we'll have the Steelers on their heels.
It's possible. To listen to some of the folks around here jaw, you'd think otherwise. But it is.

The only way you develop a #1 pick is if he's a QB.
You're supposed to be a true impact player from day one as a #1 pick. You're supposed to be polished and ready to step right in and dominate.
All you heard when the Texans drafted Williams was that he was the real deal and how NFL-ready he was.
Now he needs to be developed?
Your #1 overall pick shouldn't need 3-4 years to get up to speed. He should need 3-4 weeks of training camp.
You seem to make a lot of excuses for Mario Williams. All I hear from you is if's. If this, if that.
I don't deal with ifs. He has 28 million dollars guaranteed. He should be a dominant force right now.

I highly doubt any member of the Chiefs is reading this message board trying to get motivated.
I'm sure Herm is going in with that message.
However, the Steelers perform pretty well with their backs against the wall.
Saying we should dominate this game is beyond stupid. Will we try to dominate? Absolutely. Will it happen? Very unlikely.
I think the Chiefs can win, but they aren't going to dominate a very physical team.

Chief fans are so insecure about the national media.
Leinart had a very good game. That's a fact. 250 plus yards, 2TD's, 1 INT and a 63% completion rate against what has been a stingy KC pass defense are very good numbers for a rookie making his first NFL start. Arizona fans have something to look forward to. Chief fans would be ecstatic if Croyle could put up those numbers in his first NFL game.
As far as Pittsburgh is concerned, you get the benefit of the doubt when you are the world champs and you've made the playoffs 5 out of the last 6 years including a Super Bowl win.
