"Looks like Rush’s team lost again"

When he mentioned the game last week, I thought he didn't sound very confident about the Steelers' prospects.

The new OT rule is just as bad as the old one. Point, the Steelers never got a chance to make a TD.

I say let them play one more full quarter. Heck let them play ten of them if they are still tied.

But it doesn’t force anything. They can go down and get the FG and then make the stop. The only thing that’s forced is you have to make sure your defense doesn’t get too excited, they still gotta make the stop, 4 downs. What makes it even funnier is that this year’s regular season the number of first possession OT wins plummeted to under 10%. The game fixed the “problem” on its own. Actually the percentage has been dropping fairly steadily for years.

Actually OT doesn’t have the TV timeouts. The only extra commercials they get are for the wrap around to start the new quarter. And they won’t be charging a premium, as the game wears on the commercial spots pay less as the trend is for games to be decided and viewers tune elsewhere. So it’s not much extra revenue. It was all to stop the whining, now for Manning or Brady or Brees to not get to touch the ball in OT their defense will have to fail big instead of just fail small.

Interestingly, Rush called this loss on his show on Friday.

He said that the game would be close, that he thought the Steelers would win it, but he would not want to place a bet on it. He mentioned that he was worried that the Steelers were not scoring points, and that they were banged up, while Denver’s offense has been very good.

No, the basketball rule is even WORSE. Sudden death, it’s exciting, it’s fun, and both team HAVE a chance on every play. It’s not baseball, scoring is not asymmetrical. If you go basketball style then you wind up with the soccer problem of anti-climactic scoring. Imagine the lameness if after that amazing 80 yard throw and score now we have to wait another 14:45 to see if maybe the Steelers tie it back up or pull out a win. Part of what made that play great was that was it, game over the instant he crossed the end zone, not even kicking the extra point, do or die.

The ‘Obama Curse’ strikes again...

All of Zero's friends and supporters from the Steeler organization, such as Coach Mike Tomlin (below) are feeling mighty low tonight.

Al least Steeler Chairman Emeritus Dan Rooney, always thankful to The Won, can find solace tonight in being on Obama's team as Ambassador to Ireland.

The Steelers were too beat up to go very far in the playoffs this year. Losing 2 of their 3 starting D linemen today didn’t improve the situation.

Drudge Report is noting the 3:16 (316) passing yards Tebow had. You can’t make this stuff up. :-)

Re Dan Rooney. Pretty good for a family that ran the numbers game on the North Side.

Dick LaBeau lost this geme. Where was the safety on first down?
