    It only took 5 minutes for one of the worst defenses in the league to get a sack and fumble on Tebow. How long did it take the #1 defense to do that? Oh and they should get tape of the San Fran game because that is how you RUSH a Passer.

    Pats are going to blow out Broncos...

    Sorry still angry. I had to let it out.

    Catch or not, what a great effort by Gronkowski.

    Yep. When a D is having a good day and are relatively healthy and playing at home with two weeks rest that happens. The Steelers were banged up and had Hampton and the Beard go out early with no Ryan Clark or A. Smith and had a bad day to boot.

    I guess regular stats don't mattter, they don't. It's how you're playing in the Playoffs.

    I know, your right. How different would it have been if the we beat the Ratbirds the second time and got the #2 seed...we'd be playing at home tomorrow against the Texans with some needed rest. I think I might go crazy if I keep going through the whatifs in my head!

    I saw my first Steelers game in 1975 so I've had my 'what if' times more than I care to remember.

    If the Steelers would have beaten the Ravens, in their 2nd game, and finished at 13-3, the Steelers would've been the #1 seed

    If the Steelers where the #1 seed, I doubt they would be playing the Broncos in the Divisional round. For that to happen, the Broncos would have to have beaten the Ravens in the wildcard week. Most likely game would have been Ravens@ Steelers

    I thought he did as per the new rules. Before, if the ball hit the ground or if it moved, it was incomplete. Now, you only need to maintain possession, which he did. Yes, the ball hit the ground and it moved, but how can it now move when you're slamming into the ground that hard. He had his hands wrapped around the ball at all times and although it moved, it didn't move from out of his grip.

    Wow... man we went without a SB for over 25 years. Seriously solid defenses in that time (SB XXX ring a bell), a guy that can play QB shows up and suddenly we're in 3 SB's in 5 years...

    Yeah you're right, game over if we play Ben, he sucks, what were the Steelers thinking drafting him in the first place :frustrated:

    35 - 7 NE, sigh, this is exactly what I was afraid of, just makes last weeks loss so much worse, this is the Denver team I expected to show up last week. We played so bad and Denver played their best game of the year.

    hey ben i love our new high octane offense
    the only thing for a high octane offense is you have to have a high octane qb
    big ben sucks and we need to trade his ass
