FROM THE DESK OF TOM JANICKI, BEER WE GO, PRESIDENT AND CEO<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yet again, I must say, we as Steelers Fans are SPOILED to the core!!\u00a0 I, for one, do not take this, or any of the other Steelers teams in my lifetime, for granted.\u00a0 We are in a golden age of fandom and it\u2019s time for another deep playoff run.\u00a0 To put a quick perspective in, The Pitt Panthers football program (playing tomorrow in the Compass bowl as they need to find direction but I will be the first to back the hiring of Chryst, he will bring respectability back to the program) has had more Head Coaches in the past year than the Pittsburgh Steelers have had in over 4 decades.\u00a0 That is stability in an age of quick firings and we must stand up and applaud the Rooney\u2019s for their eye for talent in the front office!!<\/p>\n

I have so much on my mind heading into this wild card weekend and I just hope that I can get it all out onto this post\u2026First off the opponent this week, the Denver Tebowcos.\u00a0 I would be the first to say that the guy, Tim Tebow the person is a breath of fresh air as far as his morality and ability to be humble and deflect all the praise that is directed at him.\u00a0 He is a true competitor and has proved to have a champions heart and has that special something to lead when all hope seems to be lost.\u00a0 But COM\u2019N MAN!! \u00a0Enough is Enough!!\u00a0 Mark my words, He is not a starting QB in the NFL for long.\u00a0 He is Milli Vanilli, Sugar Ray and Bobbie McFarren all rolled into one.\u00a0 The guy can not play QB in the NFL.\u00a0 Period.\u00a0 The fact that he gets credit when Matt Prater kicks record breaking clutch kicks is ridiculous.\u00a0 Does anybody else see his completion percentage? \u00a0He did not turn this team around, his team turned this team around.\u00a0 The guy has Moxie, I\u2019ll give him that but a QB in the NFL, I just don\u2019t see it.\u00a0 Great vision and power when running the football but the guy can\u2019t pass.\u00a0 I cringed every time this year that Tim Tebow was given credit for the Denver Broncos success.\u00a0 He was a part of the equation, but there was a lot of guys that stepped up just as much if not that was shadowed by the phenomenon and polarization of Tim Tebow. \u00a0To tie this together I have a trivia question to share:<\/p>\n

There are (2) Starting QB in the Super Bowl era that have a higher winning percentage than Big Ben with more than 10 games played.\u00a0 Name them?\u00a0 A hint, the answer is not Tim Tebow.\u00a0 Just for statistical purposes, Ben is 10-3 in the playoffs when starting for a winning percentage of .769.\u00a0 What I have to say to that, Big Ben is great and I wouldn\u2019t trade him for anybody at this stage in his career (This man is flat TOUGH AS NAILS) but I feel as though QB\u2019s get entirely to much credit for team success.\u00a0 Another trivia question; There are only 5 starting QB\u2019s (6 after this season) in the Super Bowl era with more wins than Brett Favre has losses (11).\u00a0 Peyton Manning has 10 losses in the playoffs and these are two first ballot Hall of Famers.\u00a0 Great QB\u2019s, tough competition; tough to win in the playoffs but one man can not win playoff game.\u00a0 These games are won and lost by all three phases of the game, an entire team effort (in most cases).\u00a0 I understand that QB\u2019s direct the ship, lead the team in battle and for argument sake are the only players judged for team success and failure but I feel that a lot more went into Big Ben going 10-3 in the playoffs than Big Ben\u2019s performance.\u00a0 (refer to a previous post titled All Merril Hoge team or our unsung performers).\u00a0 With that said, match-ups favor our Steelers in most cases.\u00a0 Our Defense will Execute.\u00a0 Our Offense will Execute.\u00a0 Our Special Teams will Execute.\u00a0 The Denver Tebowos will be ousted and Executed.\u00a0 Better luck next year Tim, you had a memorable run that will end on Sunday.\u00a0 Fear the Beard Timmy.\u00a0 You are now out of your league.\u00a0 The Black and Gold will catch their stride and swag inDenver and we will be rolling!!<\/p>\n

I can feel it coming in the air tonight!!\u00a0 One step at a time and the first step will be taken in mile high altitude.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0Beer We Go Steelers Beer We Go!!<\/p>\n
