"If they fall behind by 18 points they would have had to throw on every down."

My point is that if those cheap calls hadn't gone against them they wouldn't have been down by 18 points; they would have either been ahead or down by four.

My only point was that if the Steelers had scored on that drive the game would have been over.

Your right Steve, the Steelers fans are just showing their character. A pretend win is more important than a real win.

I couldn't care for either team myself but ABC has ruined the sport with their control of the games. They think woman won't watch if there is not drama, so they manufacture it. Can't let messy competition get in the way of the story they are creating.

Don't worry, they won't criticize their performance either because in 3 days no one will remember that the player and team's performance was secondary to what they wanted.
