    Hey, I have loved the NFL's Red Zone the last two years and I strongly recommend it for people. ($50 for the who year compared to Direct TV) however, today I was furious that very few Steelers action was shown during the game. Instead, the games that were constantly being shown live were the Colts and Rams games. WTF? No one wants to see those games and they were the games shown almost entirely. The only regular times that they put the Steelers game on was when the Bengals were driving. I do not know how to explain this. Do we really need to see the 0 -9 (now 0 -10) Colts battling for another loss in a horribly played game by both teams? They did! The Rams are one of the most boring teams that I have ever seen play and yet that was the focus/ feature game. Sorry for my rant, but I do believe that the NFL does not want the Steelers to prevail. I know how biased it seems ESPN, the NFL Network, and others are, but I never thought in a million years the formerly first place in the AFC Bengals and Steelers would not be focused upon more.

    I don't know about bias but I wish they would show more of the better games when teams are not in the Red Zone. I love it though. I pay an xtra $8.00 a month on my cable bill to have it (I get a few other channel's with it).

    Not really sure how not showing the game highlights affects the games themselves. Other than we seemt o play better when we're getting ignored.

    If you read any other fan forums, you'll see that they'll usually feel the same about their team. And they'll usually think that refs are biased towards Pittsburgh (especiually if their Cards/Seahawks/Ravens fans). Horses for courses.

    Having said that, I do really think that, objectively speaking, the AFC north is the most exciting division right now, and there should be more "storylines" focused on in the coverage.
