Official Patsies/Steelers thread

[honey]

Let's go Steelers! :up:

[Cntrygal]

I agree! Go Steelers!!!!

[honey]

Maybe the "Steel Curtain" will come into play today. I'm hoping. :nervous:

[RedEyE]

TOUCHDOWN!!!!!!

[honey]

:rofl:

[RedEyE]

I'm practicing my Steelers cheering. I don't have a Terrible Towel, so I grabbed a yellow pillow case from the closet.

[Cntrygal]

TOUCHDOWN!!!!!!

Steelers or Pats? What channel are you watching? :scratch:












:D

[RedEyE]

Steelers or Pats? What channel are you watching? :hmmm:












:D


I'm not talking to you! :mad: Where the hell have you been!

[Mr.Reality]

I hope the Patriots win. :snicker:

I wanted Atlanta to win for Bikerbabe, but it was not to be.

[RedEyE]

I hope the Patriots win. :snicker:

I wanted Atlanta to win for Bikerbabe, but it was not to be.

We just disagree on everything today. :shakeno:

[Armpalm Ali Musch]

INT - get that rook out of here!

[honey]

Go STEELERS!!!!!! :up:

[FTG]

Damn Patriots!

[RedEyE]

NE is coming out playing hard.

[Cntrygal]

I'm not talking to you! :mad: Where the hell have you been!

Read the no tos.


Damn.... I can see these announcers are going to have a love fest for the Pats. They make that int sound like it was thrown right to them.

[FTG]

come on ref....throw the flag and help out the pats

[RedEyE]

F-n Pats!!

[honey]

Read the no tos.


Damn.... I can see these announcers are going to have a love fest for the Pats. They make that int sound like it was thrown right to them.
What's new? Chris Collinsworth had a hardon for the Falcons today, too. :shakeno:

[RedEyE]

Read the no tos.


Damn.... I can see these announcers are going to have a love fest for the Pats. They make that int sound like it was thrown right to them.

No problem. How did it go. Are you finally an NCO? :snicker:

[FTG]

run the ball down thier throats

[RedEyE]

Yay!!!! 1st down :clap:

[Mr.Reality]

They called Brady "Mr. Perfect" in the pregame. I had a WWF flashback. Laughed, though.

Pitt has the kind of offense that could cause the Pats problems. The best way to blow up the fancy schemes is to blast it down their throats.

[RedEyE]

Oh man!!! Did you see the bus just F up Teddy Bruschi?

[RedEyE]

Thats looks like 1st down.

[FTG]

go for it

[BAM]

Well that decision backfired.

[honey]

I have to admit - I picked the Patsies to win, but I'm really hoping the Steelers win. :D

[RedEyE]

Fudge

[FTG]

damn it.

[RedEyE]

I'm going to go get some food. When I get back I expect Brady to have a broken leg,

[BAM]

WOW. TD Pats. :eek:

[honey]

That sucks. :down:

[YardRat]

Aaaaaargh !!!

[FTG]

unbelievable. I wanna strangle Tom Brady. All I can say is GO EAGLES!

[Iehoshua]

Steelers = pwn3d.

[Iehoshua]

unbelievable. I wanna strangle Tom Brady. All I can say is GO EAGLES!

He's this generation's version of a great QB ala Montana, love him or hate him. Just blows he's gotta be in our friggin' division...

[RedEyE]

Time for the Steelers to change their game plan. It aint working.

[BAM]

strangle is a cool word

[FTG]

They need to mix in a first down pass now and then

[honey]

I have to admit it, no matter how hard it is - the Patsies are a really good team. :ontome:

[FTG]

if this **** keeps up I'm gonna let the kids put cartoons on :rolleyes:

[Mr.Reality]

Brady is good, man. He's good in just about any conditions.

It was funny. When he was at Michigan, they kept trying to sort of ween Drew Henson in there. They did this for about two years, and it cost them at least two huge games. Maybe three. Brady always won, but Henson was the big recruit with the big arm, and they'd always try to be sneaky in big situations with Henson, and it'd bite 'em.

He's better now, but it seems like he's always been like this. Nothing overly imposing. He just never makes any mistakes.

[honey]

Ok, here we go.......Not too bad. :D

[Michael82]

I'm going to go get some food. When I get back I expect Brady to have a broken leg,
:rofl:

[honey]

Damn - come ON Steelers. Get a first down or SOMETHING. :(

[honey]

Oh, punt. :rolleyes:

[Michael82]

What happened to the Bus? why are they using Staley when Bettis got them this far? :mad:

[RedEyE]

Steelers should be embarrased of this performance.

[Michael82]

****! The screen pass just killed the Steelers D again. 17-3 Pats. :ill:

[RedEyE]

This is the #1 defense in the NFL?

[TheBrownBear]

Man, you gotta love the Patriots. Those guys are just stone-cold killers.

[Iehoshua]

Hope you enjoyed your run, Pittsburgh! :bigwave:

[honey]

Steelers look like CRAP! Hopefully they will get their poop in a group. :(

[Iehoshua]

Man, you gotta love the Patriots. Those guys are just stone-cold killers.
While I don't love them nor do I think one's "gotta love" them, I do believe you have to respect them. They are indeed cold and calculating.

[honey]

No room for warm and fuzzy in the NFL. :D

[Michael82]

WOO HOO! Nice run by Big Ben. I hope we see JP Losman do that this year. :gag:

:dance:

[honey]

Big Ben is soooo cool! :up:

[Michael82]

Man, you gotta love the Patriots. Those guys are just stone-cold killers.
Hell no. You don't have to love the Patriots. If you do, get the **** off the Bills bandwagon. :mad:

[honey]

Ohhhhh, NOOOOOOO!

[Michael82]

**** **** ****!!! Intercepted by Harrison for a TD. The final nail is in the coffin and Belichick is pounding it in. :ill:

24-3

[Typ0]

Looks like Big Ben has been getting pointers from Drew.

[TheBrownBear]

Hell no. You don't have to love the Patriots. If you do, get the **** off the Bills bandwagon. :mad:I meant that one should "admire" the Patriots as a team. I think they represent what we all hope the Bills will become one day.

[Michael82]

If Cowher is smart...he might want to pull Big Ben if he throws another pick. Big Ben is good, but he is a rookie and is definitely struggling in the playoffs.

[Mad Bomber]

Welcome to the NFL, rookie!

As much as i HATE the pats (see avatar), they are showing this kid what the NFL is all about...

[Michael82]

I meant that one should "admire" the Patriots as a team. I think they represent what we all hope the Bills will become one day.
I will NEVER admire anything about that ****ing team. I hate them. I really really can't stand them and want bad things to happen to them in the Super Bowl. :ill: :puke:

[Typ0]

If Cowher is smart...he might want to pull Big Ben if he throws another pick. Big Ben is good, but he is a rookie and is definitely struggling in the playoffs.

you don't pull the kid he got you there...if he's going to take some lumps then let him take the lumps and grow.

[BillyT92679]

Hell no. You don't have to love the Patriots. If you do, get the **** off the Bills bandwagon. :mad:
I hate them during the regular season, when the Bills are in it. But I tell you, I respect this team more than just about any team I have ever seen. They remind me a lot of the Bills SB teams (those Bills teams I think are better overall and would beat these Pats teams) in the sense that they just win, and win big, against whatever team that is supposed to be "better." This Pats team has to go down as one of the best I have ever seen.

[Dozerdog]

Man, you gotta love the Patriots. Those guys are just stone-cold killers.
Yup-

Assassins

[Typ0]

I will NEVER admire anything about that ****ing team. I hate them. I really really can't stand them and want bad things to happen to them in the Super Bowl. :ill: :puke:

if you don't admire the quality program they have put together there in the last five years you have a screw loose.

[TheBrownBear]

Pats v. Eagles is a better game than Pitt v. Eagles. Plus, if the Pats win another Super Bowl that brings greater recognition/respect to the AFC East.

[Michael82]

Welcome to the NFL, rookie!

As much as i HATE the pats (see avatar), they are showing this kid what the NFL is all about...
And this is why Cowher shouldn't stick with him the whole game if he continues to struggle. I think Maddox might be able to handle Belichick's schemes a little better. :idunno:

[Michael82]

you don't pull the kid he got you there...if he's going to take some lumps then let him take the lumps and grow.
Even if the lumps cost you the AFC Championship?

[Dozerdog]

Couldn't said it better myself

[Michael82]

I give them credit. They are a helluva team and Belichick is a freaking genius. But they still make me sick.

[Typ0]

Even if the lumps cost you the AFC Championship?

They are already behind...their defense isn't helping any. You have to give the kid a chance to snap out of it and put it together...otherwise you risk hurting his confidence all offseason. He needs to show he can respond...and sitting on the bench isn't going to do it.

[Michael82]

Yeah, I didn't think about it that way. I guess you are right.

[TheBrownBear]

I will NEVER admire anything about that ****ing team. I hate them. I really really can't stand them and want bad things to happen to them in the Super Bowl. :ill: :puke:
Don't get me wrong. When we play them I hate them with all of my hatred-filled heart. But besides gameday (or reg season in general), I really respect that football team. On top of their performance, their team is full of classy guys who put the team first.

[BillyT92679]

Couldn't said it better myself

Thank you.
I really think next year is the Bills year to break through.

[TheWingHead]

if you don't admire the quality program they have put together there in the last five years you have a screw loose.

I disagree.. hate is hate. Me and all the other pat haters have all right to say anything bad about them we can think of. I will not respect there program unless they are ever 0-17. Thats the it is. thats the way it will be.

[The King]

Congrats to Cowher he put forth the right gameplan. Unfortunately his QB sucks balls

[TheWingHead]

I disagree.. hate is hate. Me and all the other pat haters have all right to say anything bad about them we can think of. I will not respect there program unless they are ever 0-17. Thats the it is. thats the way it will be.

I apoligize.. I forgot to mention i live in New england...

[TheBrownBear]

I think you make the switch at halftime. Roethlisberger hasn't really lit anyone up this season. He's done a good job handling the game when Pitts has a lead but he hasn't really ever shown the ability to win a game with his passing. At least Maddox lit some teams up during that good season of his. Pittsburgh needs a spark coming out in the second half.

[Michael82]

Don't get me wrong. When we play them I hate them with all of my hatred-filled heart. But besides gameday (or reg season in general), I really respect that football team. On top of their performance, their team is full of classy guys who put the team first.
That's because they always win. If that team ever started losing....you would see a huge difference in their attitude IMO and you would start to see the players request the big bucks that they deserve.

[The_Philster]

What's new? Chris Collinsworth had a hardon for the Falcons today, too. :shakeno:

Cris:couch:

[Michael82]

Congrats to Cowher he put forth the right gameplan. Unfortunately his QB sucks balls
:wail: :sadwalk:

[honey]

I have to say that even though I don't want the Patsies to win - they have an awesome football team. Bellicheck is a genius and the entire team plays AS a team. Brady is so cool under pressure...so confident. I picked the Pats to win, but would really like to see the Steelers pull it out. :smile:

[Mr.Reality]

The Steelers could use Vick about now. . .

I'm interested to see what Cowher will do.

[Michael82]

The Steelers could use Vick about now. . .
No, because he can't throw worth ****. :::

[honey]

Cris:couch:
WHATEVER, PHIL, so what?????? :rolleyes:

I'd rather lose the $50, just so the Patriots lose...but I know it's not going to happen. I can guarantee it now.

[The_Philster]

WHATEVER, PHIL, so what?????? :rolleyes:

Well you get uppity when someone uses you're instead of your so :tongue: :D

[Michael82]

Finally, the Steeler defense got to Brady for the sack. :clap:

3 and out. Nice job, defense. :dance:

[RedEyE]

Steelers should score on this drive.

[Michael82]

Did you guys hear when Nantz said that Brady did a good job taking that sack, instead of making a bad play with the ball? :limp:

[Michael82]

Steelers should score on this drive.
I hope so. :pray:

[Michael82]

See.....Bledsoe can make some plays in big games. The last AFC Championship. :D

[RedEyE]

What the **** are they doing. Pull Bettis out of there and get either Staley or Haynes in the game. Either one of them are a better fit in the pass game.


Now down on the goal line, bring in the Bus.

[TheBrownBear]

Looks like Cowher made the right move.

[RedEyE]

Ya!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Michael82]

WOO HOOO! Nice play, screen to stop the Pats blitz. Randle El almost got the TD. Yes, TOUCHDOWN Bettis! :dance:

It ain't over!!! :D

[RedEyE]

14 point game. Time for that #1 defense to come up big here!

[TheBrownBear]

Nice to see the score by the Steelers. This game is interesting again.

[Michael82]

Looks like Cowher made the right move.
Yeah, that was a great drive by Roethlisberger and the Steelers. :clap:

[Michael82]

14 point game. Time for that #1 defense to come up big here!
I hope to see another 3 and out by the Pats.

[FTG]

WOO HOOO! Nice play, screen to stop the Pats blitz. Randle El almost got the TD. Yes, TOUCHDOWN Bettis! :dance:

It ain't over!!! :D

I was about ready to send you your 1000 zonebucks. I'll waite until the Pats score on this drive now

[Michael82]

I was about ready to send you your 1000 zonebucks. I'll waite until the Pats score on this drive now
I got the 1000 ready just in case. I hope I get to pay you. It will be worth it. :D

[RedEyE]

The turnovers are the difference in this game. Time for NE to make a couple mistakes.

[RedEyE]

STOP 'EM HERE!!!!!!

[Michael82]

Come on Pittsburgh!

[FTG]

turnover time :pray:

[RedEyE]

F'n *****es!!! Where's the coverage?

[Topdog]

1st Down Pats, they're kicking the Steelers ASS!

[RedEyE]

Dillion looks like Dookie. :naughty:

[Michael82]

WOOO HOOOO! Brady is SACKED again. :dance:

:snicker:

[RedEyE]

Sacked that *****!!! Yeah!!

[Topdog]

Come on Pittsburgh! Steelers will put up a good fight , but in the end Brady will prevail!

[RedEyE]

Damn refs making horrible calls again!!!

[Michael82]

Damn it! Gotta give the Patriots a flag to help them out. :ill: :mad:

[TheBrownBear]

stupid ass penalty. Such a horrible penalty. What an idiot!!!

[RedEyE]

Hell yeah!!!! Fumble recovery!!!!!

[TheBrownBear]

that will be overturned.

[FTG]

getting a little to close for the refs comfort

[Topdog]

See penalty Steelers! 1st of the Game,

Damn Fumble!

Put another penalty on Steelers!

[RedEyE]

That's a catch but not a fumble!!

[Topdog]

Throw the Flag, his knee was DOWN!

[Michael82]

damn it! It's going to be overturned and the penalty will help NE out even more. :mad:

[RedEyE]

And the Steelers are going to get stuck with the 15 yard penalty too!

[TheBrownBear]

The Steelers are really shooting themselves in the foot. They threw the game away with that holding call on 3rd and 17.

[FTG]

Steeler fans are gonna kill that ref

[RedEyE]

Pitt is toast if the Pats score here.

[Michael82]

1st and 10 at the 25 yardline. Damn, that really hurts. Haggans should be benched immediately for the bonehead penalty.

[The_Philster]

Dammit!! :mad:

[Topdog]

Touchdown PATS!

[RedEyE]

WHERE WAS THE HOLDING CALL ON THAT RUN!!?? BULL****!!!!

[FTG]

game, set, match


damn joke

[TheBrownBear]

game over. And Pitt can't blame the refs, they did this to themselves. They look like the Bills did early in the season.

[Michael82]

Okay, that could be the final nail now. They let Corey Dillon have a big ass hole and he got a touchdown. GAME OVER! 31-10. :ill:

[helmetguy]

Pitt is toast if the Pats score here.
Want butter or jelly on that toast, Red?

[Michael82]

game, set, match


damn joke
I'll take those 1,000 in 10's and 20's. :rofl:

[Michael82]

WHERE WAS THE HOLDING CALL ON THAT RUN!!?? BULL****!!!!
It's the Patriots. The ref is always in their back pocket. Come on. :duh:

[Philagape]

The defensive holding call is the Dumbest Penalty Ever. It may have cost the Steelers the SB. It was 3rd and 17, and it was only 5 yards past the line. DUMB DUMB DUMB

[Topdog]

Final Score Pats 41 , steelers 21

[helmetguy]

It was a good call. Even smarter that the receiver took some time getting up after the hit. Gave NE a chance to see a couple of replays before they challenged.

[RedEyE]

3 TDs isn't unheard of, but the Steelers will need the Pats to make some key mistakes.

[Michael82]

The defensive holding call is the Dumbest Penalty Ever. It may have cost the Steelers the SB. It was 3rd and 17, and it was only 5 yards past the line. DUMB DUMB DUMB
That's why I can't stand that penalty. If they want to do defensive holding...fine....5 yards and replay the down. The automatic first down is a load of ****. :mad:

[helmetguy]

The defensive holding call is the Dumbest Penalty Ever. It may have cost the Steelers the SB. It was 3rd and 17, and it was only 5 yards past the line. DUMB DUMB DUMB
Look at thisway. I have Stiller fans ragging ne that Levy "never won the big one." Lookslike Cower's gonna blow a FOURTH big one...IN HIS OWN YARD.

[FTG]

That's why I can't stand that penalty. If they want to do defensive holding...fine....5 yards and replay the down. The automatic first down is a load of ****. :mad:

agreed. that penalty is to punishing.

[RedEyE]

Like the QB sneak!!

[Michael82]

Damn, McNabb may eat the Patriots up next week with the run.

[RedEyE]

I still say they need to pull Bettis and put in the receiving backs.

[RedEyE]

1st down!!

[Philagape]

That's why I can't stand that penalty. If they want to do defensive holding...fine....5 yards and replay the down. The automatic first down is a load of ****. :mad:

What I meant was, they just should have let him catch it and make him get 12 YAC in traffic.

[FTG]

stop running Bettis up the middle cower you friggen moron

[Michael82]

I still say they need to pull Bettis and put in the receiving backs.
I agree. They don't want to run out the clock. They are already behind by 3 TDs. They need a lot of time and can't afford to lose the time on the clock.

[RedEyE]

Damn Samuels!!

[Topdog]

looks like Steeleres Dodged several bullets there!

[Michael82]

stop running Bettis up the middle cower you friggen moron
Agreed. Bettis is doing terrible today. If they want to run...use Staley or Haynes. :mad:

[Michael82]

Damn Samuels!!
He should have gotten at least 4 picks by now. He is starting to look like Antoine Winfield used to be. Catch the damn ball. :lol:

[RedEyE]

GAME TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[FTG]

it's not over yet

[Michael82]

WOO HOOO! Nice play, converted a 4th and 5 and got a 30 yard touchdown! SWEET play by Big Ben. :dance: :party:

[RedEyE]

PITT IS BACK IN IT !!!!! I smell a momentum reversal!!

[Michael82]

PITT IS BACK IN IT !!!!! I smell a momentum reversal!!
So do I. That was a 4th down play.

[FTG]

PITT IS BACK IN IT !!!!! I smell a momentum reversal!!

if the D pulls thier head out of thier ass and makes a play

[RedEyE]

Agreed. The D has to come up big here. Pull it together!

[RedEyE]

Still 2 minutes in the 3rd QRTR/ Plenty of time!

[RedEyE]

Nice tackle Porter!

[TheBrownBear]

Steelers need a TO here.

[TheBrownBear]

The Pats are soooooo freaking clutch!!!!!!

[honey]

Holy CRAP!!!!

[RedEyE]

That's not a catch!!!

[Michael82]

Challenge that! It was bobbled. i don't think it was a catch.

[TheBrownBear]

This will be overturned....I think.

[RedEyE]

TRAP!!!!

[FTG]

thats comming back

[Michael82]

That was definitely NOT a catch (it hit the ground) and if they keep that....it's BULL****!!!

[honey]

I don't think it will be overturned. :(

[TheBrownBear]

I revise my prediction. That was a catch. No way they overturn it.

[RedEyE]

Even if they give him the catch, he was down by contact.

[FTG]

Listen to Phil Sims. What a Patriot lover

[RedEyE]

Ya!!!

[TheBrownBear]

Finally!!! The refs don't give a call to the Pats!!!

[Michael82]

WOO HOOOO! The referees are not on the Patriots side today. :phew:

:dance:

[honey]

I was wrong!!!! YAY!!!

[FTG]

Listen to Phil Sims. What a Patriot lover

:lolpoint: Phil Sims

[TheBrownBear]

I think the Steelers might have a chance.

[Dozerdog]

That should stifle the "Refs give everything to the Pats" talk......


...of course it won't...duh on my part

[honey]

:lolpoint: Phil Sims
Phil Sims and CHRIS Collinsworth both suck. :rolleyes:

[Dozerdog]

Let's tighten up this game!

[TheBrownBear]

If they scored before the end of the quarter that would be awesome!!!

[Michael82]

That's another momentum shifter. Thank God that Coleman or McAuley aren't the referees today. They would have "just give it em"

:phew:

[Michael82]

If they scored before the end of the quarter that would be awesome!!!
:pray:

[honey]

I think the Steelers might have a chance.
SHHHHHHH, don't jinx it!!!! :D

[Michael82]

Listen to Phil Sims. What a Patriot lover
He's drooling all over Brady and the Patsies. :limp:

[RedEyE]

Hit 'em where it hurts. Harrison is out. Go deep NOW!!!!!

[Michael82]

Phil Sims and CHRIS Collinsworth both suck. :rolleyes:
Phil Simms and Cris Collinsworth. :snicker:

[RedEyE]

Hell Yeah!!!!!!!!!

[TheBrownBear]

What a comeback!!!!!!!!! Reminiscent of our game vs Houston.

[Michael82]

3rd quarter is done. The ball is at the 4. Come on Steelers. Punch it in now.

[honey]

Phil Simms and Cris Collinsworth. :snicker:
:rofl: Yeah, yeah. ....

[The_Philster]

Phil Simms and Cris Collinsworth. :snicker:

Cris (http://www.nfl.com/writers/collinsworth)

[RedEyE]

Bettis to the weakside...RIGHT HERE!!

[Dozerdog]

This game reminds me of the Patriots-Colts game last year in the RCA Dome. Pats got up big early, the Colts came way back and almost won it.

The game ended up with the Colts getting stuffed at the goal line.

[Mr. Cynical]

RUN THE DAMN BALL.

[TheBrownBear]

I hate that call!!! Dangerous pass.

[RedEyE]

Burress jumped too soon!

[TheBrownBear]

Crap. Field goal.

[RedEyE]

Kick the field goal.

[Michael82]

Going for the fieldgoal? interesting call.

[FTG]

play calling sucked on that first and goal series

[RedEyE]

Chip away.

[Michael82]

I hate that call!!! Dangerous pass.
Yeah, it was a terrible play. They should have run Staley on one of the plays too. Bettis scared me.

[ShadowHawk7]

They went for a FIELD GOAL???

[TheBrownBear]

Steelers fans are ***** idiots. Booing their coach during a comeback.

[ShadowHawk7]

I can't believe Buress didn't make that catch, and they STILL need two TDs..

[TheBrownBear]

I can't believe Buress didn't make that catch, and they STILL need two TDs..Can tie it with a FG and TD w/2 pt conversion.

I think I would have gone for the TD though.

[RedEyE]

Field goal is smart. If you don't get in the endzone on 4th and goal from the 2, you lose the confidence of your players. Kick the field goal and take the points.

[Michael82]

Come on DEFENSE!!!

[BAM]

Funny ****. They're booing the steelers.

[Philagape]

I think they should have gone for the TD. With NE, you don't even know if you'll get the ball back twice

[RedEyE]

I hope the defense gets a turnover!

[STAMPY]

Can tie it with a FG and TD w/2 pt conversion.

I think I would have gone for the TD though.

Smart Bear

[Philagape]

It would have been either a TD or put the defense on the 2-yard-line

[Michael82]

I think they should have gone for the TD. With NE, you don't even know if you'll get the ball back twice
That's what I was thinking. :(

[TheBrownBear]

Field goal is smart. If you don't get in the endzone on 4th and goal from the 2, you lose the confidence of your players. Kick the field goal and take the points.
I agree that if you don't score a TD it's pretty much over. But it's hard to turn down the opportunity to make it a one score game when you're at the 2 yard line in the 4th quarter. Tough call.

[RedEyE]

I agree that if you don't score a TD it's pretty much over. But it's hard to turn down the opportunity to make it a one score game when you're at the 2 yard line in the 4th quarter. Tough call.

True.

[Michael82]

Damn it. Missed a tackle. :mad:

[RedEyE]

Man the Pats are coming close to turning that ball over.

[FTG]

steelers D sure does not look like the #1 in the league

[TheBrownBear]

Pats are gonna put the game away here. I think the FG call took the wind out of the Steelers sails.

[RedEyE]

Cmon D!!!

[Michael82]

Come on Steelers. You need to strip the damn ball. :mad:

[RedEyE]

Obvious hold on Farrior :rolleyes:

[TheBrownBear]

Well, I guess Cowher should have went for the TD. :(

[Mr. Cynical]

This is the game IMO....

[Mr. Cynical]

Cool. Pitt survives for another few mins. :up:

[RedEyE]

Well. FG just puts things back into the same situtation. 2 scores.

[Michael82]

Okay, they held them to a fieldgoal. :clap:

Let's see if they can do a quick drive down the field for a TD. They need 14 to tie it now. Those 3 points made more sense than I thought.

NE is gonna win, they dont blow leads in the playoffs.

[Philagape]

The FG came back to bite them. It gave NE good field position, and now it's back to a 2-TD game

[Mr. Cynical]

Yeah the way the game has gone you have to take points when you can get them.

[Michael82]

Well, I guess Cowher should have went for the TD. :(
No, those 3 points helped them out. If they were stopped on 4th down, and they just allowed this FG....the score would be more than 2 TDs needed.

Do those 3 points make sense when you consider that they passed up a TD. Even if the Pats march down for the FG, the Steelers would now only trail by a TD and a FG.

no...their special teams gave NE good field position IMO.

[Crisis]

I might be forced to root for NE next week against the Eagles...:crap:

[FTG]

to bad the steelers did not show up until halftime

[Philagape]

no...their special teams gave NE good field position IMO.

But they could have pinned NE inside their 2.

There's a first for everything. They can't go on forever.

[RedEyE]

That's it . INT = END OF GAME!!
