LaMarr Woodley Proves Why the Steelers Are on the Outside Looking in At the Playoffs

LaMarr Woodley is an idiot … and spoiled … need proof? Look at what he said to a local TV station about the Bengals and Colts laying down to the Jets.

“Cincinnati is probably going to go into New York and lay down for the Jets and not play them hard, just because they don’t want to see Pittsburgh in it, because they know if we get into the playoffs, we’re a dangerous team,” Woodley said after practice on Wednesday, according to WTAE-TV in Pittsburgh.

“All of them will lay down. No one wants to see Pittsburgh in it. That’s just how it is,” Woodley explained. “Like I said, everybody knows that we’re a dangerous team once we get into the playoffs. No matter how we played throughout the whole year, once we get in the playoffs, Pittsburgh Steelers is a playoff team.”

Woodley isn’t the only one who thinks that teams are tanking it against the likes of the Jets in order to keep the Steelers out. Several league and media insiders have expressed to us strong suspicion that the Colts’ real reason for yanking starters against the Jets on Sunday was to let the Jets into the postseason field, in the hopes of slamming the door on the Steelers, who went into Indy and beat the 14-2 Colts in the 2005 divisional round.

One Steelers source doesn’t think the Colts care.

“Our secondary would seem pretty inviting to [Peyton] Manning,” the source said.

I’m not going to delude myself and say that the Jets are a great team. The fact that they could be wild-cards to me, is utterly mind-boggling with the way this season has gone, and more than anything it proves just how erratic all the other teams who were in the AFC wild-card hunt have been all season.

Sure, the Jets have a lot of interesting pieces (running game, defense) that could help them should they make the playoffs, but they still have a very young QB who has been the cause of some agita for his coaches, fans and teammates alike. The Jets have been their own worst enemy this season, losing to the likes of the Bills, Dolphins, Jaguars, Falcons … not great teams, but not total sucktards either.

Meanwhile the Steelers — the defending champion Steelers, mind you — have lost to Oakland, Cleveland and Kansas City … three brutally awful teams with a combined record of 12-33. So for Woodley to call out other teams is the height of irony … he might want to get his own house in order first before worrying about other teams and what they’re doing or not doing.
