Steeler_'s Third Prediction Wrong

Game was tied at 3 at halftime.

by BLJew on Nov 3, 2010 1:30 PM CDT reply actions

that is correct

Yes, time flies. And where did it leave you? Old too soon...smart too late. - Mike Tyson

Geez

I went through those three just to make sure they were correct. What the hell is wrong with me!?

Feeling sorry for a pour, dejected, Steeler fan perhapes?

I think, therefore I am, I think.

Dave, (or anyone else)

What was Drew’s Quarterback rating?

But Brees responded by posting a 128.4 passer rating the rest of the game and threw two fourth-quarter touchdowns. Following the interception, Brees was 23-of-27 for 240 yards.

I think, therefore I am, I think.

101.0 over the whole game

by HB-NOLA on Nov 3, 2010 2:24 PM CDT up reply actions

Yeah, I think he had a 57.something in the first half.

"In fact with that article from today that had him real lean and everything, I think I’m going to play him at corner this week in place of Tracy Porter."-Greg Williams in refefernce to Sedrick Ellis

I'm so happy for me

It’s my first trip to the playoffs!

by BRSaintsFan on Nov 3, 2010 3:38 PM CDT reply actions

Yeah, you owe me a high5 for being dead wrong about the score!

LOL….. I vote for ya.

dig this:

1) Saints score 14 1st quarter points.

2) Saints are held scoreless in the 4th quarter. (Making for a howlingly scary finish)

3) Defense intercepts Roethelisberger in the final seconds to knock the Steelers’ Wheels off on their final drive.

I just needed to flip flop the 1st and 4th quarters and I’d a been 3 of 3!!!

And if “if” was a skiff, we’d all go boating…ha! I stink at this game

It's gonna be a great year.

Are we sure no one in the dome booed big ben at any point in the game?

I find that disturbing, if not hard to believe. I certainly booed him from home. If he was in fact booed, I’m 3 for 3.
Either way, it’s nice to finally make it to the vote.

In Breesus' name we play

by Breesus Christ Superstar on Nov 3, 2010 5:09 PM CDT reply actions

No, we're not sure

The TEAM got boo’ed and Roethlisberger is a part of the team, but that prediction was a bit too hazy.

So I guess that gives me the lead with 2 and 1/53 points out of 3. ;)

I voted (McKees) Rocks based on his final score prediction. Too many participants to sit here analyzing the boldness of actual predictions. Sorry guys, I’m lazy.

by coldpizza on Nov 3, 2010 6:35 PM CDT reply actions

That’s also kind of a silly way to go about it, considering that someone with one correct prediction out of three amazingly bold predictions will automatically be ruled out based on those two strikes. From now on, I think I’m just sticking with points off. Maybe boldness to break THAT tie.
