...

Headache worse.

[mainepatsfan]

That's not what I call containment.

[Cyclopean Squid]

Heath Miller's on my fantasy team! Huge

[scott says]

Nice containment....yikes!

[mainepatsfan]

I hope they cover Ben Watson that way.

[steelyourfaith]

If they can contain the Steelers and make this one last drive, it's game over.

OTOH

[darkangel82]

Too slow with the red flag, Saban...

[mainepatsfan]

Saban should have been quicker.

[Terpfen]

He threw it, no refs were looking. Should've challenged sooner, but what the hell.

[steelyourfaith]

Hesitatingly wimpy challenges are not recommended.

[Terpfen]

Should've been. That isn't like him. What the hell?

[mainepatsfan]

Definetly a game worth staying up for.

[scott says]

I picked Miami to win this game, damn it! C'mon!
I can't believe they gave up that play.

[Cyclopean Squid]

I got lucky, if they challenged it...but that's what a 85 yard TD? for a TE? ridiculous

[mainepatsfan]

I think that was the fault of the coaches upstairs. They're the ones who need to look at the replay and tell the coach.

[Terpfen]

Uuuuuurgh.

And a Steelers commercial with Coach Chin. Uuuuuuuuuuuurgh.

[mainepatsfan]

The last time I recall a TE doing something like that was Shannon Sharpe in the 2000 AFC title game for the Ravens against the Raiders.

[mainepatsfan]

Like Seattle last January...you can't give up the big play.

[scott says]

Yeah...its been entertaining.
Miami has given up some big plays on D.
That last one was bad!

[mainepatsfan]

I'm not sure the Phins can afford to give the ball back to Pittsburgh.
