The Greatest Game - vs Miami, Nov 26, 2007

Pretty good YT video.
The narrator gave it just the right amount of bombastic sarcasm, when describing this abomination of a game.

November 26, 2007 - Miami vs Pittsburgh

 

Meh. The narrator was a bit odd to me.

 

Bad John Facenda impersonation.

Re: the game, was gonna say it should have been a harbinger of how Tomlin prepares for bad teams, but then I remembered they lost at home to the 1-8 Jets the week before.

The unprepared for playoff games harbinger came a few weeks later vs. David Garrard and the Jags.

 

that was the game that a punt stuck nose first into the turf after coming down right? Best punt ever

 

No different game I believe.
That game with the punt was with Bill as coach

 

UrinatingTree is the ****post god

 

4:50-5:10 in the video. Replayed it 3 times.
"You wonder why this is a great game? This is why!"

 

How was anyone going to prepare for the convergence of multiple field-destroying games that weekend, followed by torrential rains?
Unprecedented, unless you can point out a game with similar conditions where the teams could still move the ball.

And don't pretend that stuff like this only happens to the Steelers.
The Ravens, 13-3 the previous season, were the only team to lose to Miami in 2007

 

It happens more to Tomlin than anyone else.

Bad weather games happen all the time, I don't know how many so-called contenders would struggle in one vs. an 0-10 team.

 

Disagree, potentially the second best. The best punt, one in which I hope the results are repeated during every punt, is the one that bounced off the San Diego player running down the field. Result was a first down for the Steelers.

 

Did we not have a punt stick in a game against Miami with Bill as our coach in a freaking Hurricane???

 

That was Ben's first game as starting QB in 2004. Maddox started the previous week vs. Ravens before he got hurt.

 

Thanks.
I thought I was dreaming that , or something.

 

Remember it clearly. It happened more than once that year as I recall - can't remember our horrid punter back then but I turned to my brother and said - "This is a brand new concept - the onside punt!" LOL.
