Whenever there's a turnover late by the leading team the first instinct is "what the hell were they thinking", but sometimes they were right. Sean Salsbury said pretty much the same thing on sports center, at first he thought the play was stupid then he started thinking through the numbers and decided that it was the right call, especially when you remember that was the first time in 2 years the Bus lost a fumble. They always say when the game is tight put the ball in the hands of your best player and let him remind you why he's your best player, and that is the call Cowher made, forget the technical name of that play the real play call was "Jerome, go get us to the AFC Championship".
Gotta love Ben's post game interview on that too. Place no blame on the Bus and took no credit for himself, said it was two 1 in a million shots (Bus fumbling and him making that tackle) that just happened to happen on the same play. Good kid.
Right on! Ben is wise beyond his years.
This is one great Monday ......... headache and all.
I'm a big fan of Roethlisberger. Good Ohio roots and a terrific player. His style of play fits in perfectly with the Steelers. And Bettis is a class-act, and I'm happy he doesn't have that debacle as the final moment in his career.
