NYJ at PIT, Sat, 4:30 p.m. EST
STL at ATL, Sat, 8:00 p.m. EST
The Steelers will play either the Colts or Patriots in the AFC Championship game. The Super Bowl still has many combinations open. I predict the Steelers will take the AFC title, and either the Eagles or Falcons will take the NFC title and meet Pittsburgh in the Super Bowl.
Any predictions for tomorrows Pats/Colts game? ;^)
I agreed with Cowher's decision to get closer and not kick on third down. By doing so, he got as close as possible and gave his kicker the best chance to win, but it was the push of the team that gave him that chance. It was an outstanding game!
Should have said, "aside from Pittsburg, the AFC North stinks". Of course, compared with my team (SF 49ers), even the rest of the AFC North were awesome. :O)
Offsides on the Rams, Falcons get 5 free yards.
Steelers vs. Eagles would be a dream match for us PA boys.
Hey, the 49ers are a good team, they just fell apart this year, majorly. A little work, and they can get back in contention.
In the Super Bowl? Likely Philly going purely by regular season records. Pittsburgh has to get past Indy or New England next weekend to do so. Todays game hardly was a big confidence builder. Ben looked like the rookie he is for the first time this year. It could have been playoff pressure. The question is will he rise next week or continue like he did today. If the latter well lets say Indy and New England might be in Jacksonville instead.
I am in Jersey, but not a fan of the NY teams! Steelers vs. Eagles would be amazing!
Warrick Dunn makes a huge TD!! 62 yards!!
Falcons, 14
Rams, 7
07 St. Louis Rams
14 Atlanta Falcons
1st Quarter/7:52 left
The bad news for the Rams is that their defense didn't show up today.
We can share in each other's misery.
New England: 42
Indianapolis: 38
If the Rams continue to tackle this way...they don't EVEN want to see Duckett!

Dang straight, that was a horrible attempt at a tackle!
Yeah, we really dodged a bullet today.
I know he will have a better game next week, because it couldn't get much worse than today. ;^)
He was overdue for a bad game anyway, I think next week we'll see the Steelers we got used to during the season.
If not, Maddox should go in immediately.
The Jets were just a better team than everybody kept saying they were.
