Once again this years 'Rookie of the Year' performed under pressure, leading his team down the field with time running out.

Pffft! Thanks to a late pass interference non-call.

Squeelers are "squeaking by" past these second tier teams - not something I'd think a Pitt fan would take comfort in.

No, it's not comfortable watching my team struggle, or squeaking out a win. But it's better than watching them lose!

Sorry, not interference. That was a good call. Other calls were questionable on both sides, it's called football!

Kindof like NE was doing prior to the Pittsburgh game. They were just doing enough to be better than their opponents. Even if the score didn't reflect it, you could see it. ...Then they fell behind against a good team and couldn't recover. That was clearly a wake-up call. Since then, they've been stomping.

Maybe Pittsburgh needs a good loss to reawaken them.

Dude, if I was a Steelers fan I would be Euphoric, Warm, and Comfy with those stats. But the biggest thing is the Steelers have a rookie quarterback that is blowing the doors off of some of the more seasoned and talented QB's of the league. Including the 54 million dollar wonder kid.

I'm with you. For a team with the 'best' defense, the 'best' offense they barely squeaked by the lowly Giants.

I didn't see the game, but interference calls, either yea or nay, are ruining the NFL.

My lowly Redskins creamed the Giants two weeks ago, and while losing to the Steelers, the Skins managed to hold Pittsburgh to 16 points on their homefield. While the Steelers are no doubt having a great season, I would not be suprised to see them lose to either Baltimore or New England in the playoffs. I don't see them beating the Pats twice this year.
