Sitting in a Steelers bar today in Florida, watching both Steelers and Bills games, stressed...I literally said "Boss, if you've got any pull up there, I'd love you for it" Redzone INT. Love you, Steve!

God's name is Steve?

Bad news, ***skins fans. My brother in law has decreed on the facebooks that regardless of talent, seeding or effort, there is no way that Obama will let the ***skins win the Super Bowl because "more than five" people find the name offensive.


Sorry, maybe next year. Unless Obama gets elected again, which is something else he is overly concerned about.

Lol.

That's great, but who are the ***skins?

(great googly moogly)

Namby Pamby Librul Commies like me are too afraid to say it.

The most shocking thing to me is that Dan Snyder hasn't taken advantage of the political pressure to sell a shitload of new merchandise.

He will change his tune when Obama steals a super bowl from him.

Yahweh loosely translates to "Steve" in American.

Steelers fans are so selfish.

We're not the best at sharing, it's true.

I was resolved to the fact that the Steelers weren't making the playoffs this year, but I forgot about the power of the Jets. When it comes to the playoffs, whether we face them in the playoffs or not, we always get rewarded by the Jets.

Thank Rex Ryan and Ryan "poorly timed INTs" Fitzgerald too. But mainly the Jets.

The main reason I had hope was because its the Jets...they love disappointing their loyal following. The 93 comps were pretty funny. Steelers beat the Browns on the road and Buddy Ryan's Oilers beat the Jets, giving the steelers a berth.

So, should Cincy have just downed the ball three times causing the Steelers to burn all 3 timeouts and then try to kick a FG to push the lead to 4 points? Hindsight is 20/20.

Wasn't it a pretty long field goal at that point? And then if they miss it, Pittsburgh just needs a couple first downs with plenty of time on the clock. Additionally, if you get the first down, the game is over as well, so running the ball gives you two possible paths to victory.

So, no, I don't see how you can second guess that call. Teams run the clock out all the time and you have to expect your players can execute in that situation, especially since they know protecting the football is paramount.

Btw, Tomlin said Brown does have a concussion after the game. This hit was SO avoidable by Burfict.

Yeah, it was not a chip-shot, that's for sure. I agree with you, you expect your RB to hold onto the ball in that situation (two hands).

God, watching it again. What a scary play how Brown just went completely limp immediately.
