    after that unreal game, I noted it the "Christmas Miracle" I wanted to visit the site to see the reaction. What I see is some celebrating, and some with questions? So, how would anyone question tonight's game? The only thing I was struck by in the game was Bens 2nd int, and the package on the field at the time, but stop and think what happened tonight. We are down our 2 best DL, our QB is minus his TE, and a WR who finally has all his fingers pointing in the same direction, and several young guys playing considerable minutes in late December. Relax and enjoy this win, and the fact we get a playoff game in January.

    Huge win. I agree.

    Not sure your point about injuries. Every team has injuries. Not an excuse when you still have your key players and we have our key play makers. We were heavily favored and we should have killed these guys. Penalties and horrible Int's should have cost us the game but it didn't because of some great plays luck late in the 4th quarter. Injuries or not, on paper we have twice the talent that the Raven's do. Lets not kid our selves.

    I get your point that we should enjoy this... and I can tell I sure did. I also get the concern as well. A great play by Brown saved Tomlin's ass. Besides the poor clock management, the play calling in the 2nd and 3rd quarters was terrible. Why we didn't jump on the Bell wagon when it was clearly obvious they couldn't stop him was beyond me. There was no reason to pass on 1st and 2nd down until the Raven's could show they could stop our run game. But we seemed determined to let Ben win the game with his arm and it almost costs us..until we needed his arm to win it, and it did.

    IMO it's kind of par for the course. Our talent wins despite coaching mistakes and miscues. We've been a sloppy team for 5+ years. I don't see that changing any time soon. right now we just need to ride the amazing talent this team has. Hopefully they can continue to overcome the fact we do a better job of beating our selves than our opponents do. Ben is a bit of a mental case right now. He was crap for most of the game, then woke up with a minute to go.
