Pats will be flat(tened).

Did you see how empty Heinz Stadium was in the fourth quarter?

Yoi, you were right. I'm still cleaning up the blood from my failed suicide!

Brady is just too darn good. And he is something to watch!

Congrats to the Pats, but me.......... I'm sick of being out-coached and somewhat outplayed in these big games over the past years.

Go Pats

;-)

Right....... and having a cool genius at QB like Brady doesn't hurt!

The Patriots are excellent.

Yes, very embarrassing.

I think that last interception that was reviewed, hit the ground, but they gave it to the Pats. That would have still given the Steelers a chance. But, we were outplayed and OUT COACHED AGAIN!!!

Bummer

Do you cry when your team loses? I don't.

Just like a Steeler fan to have the rope too long.

Nope, that last interception was legit. The guy's hands were under the ball. The ball never touched the ground.

Nah no rope, the knife wasn't sharp enough! Now it's tough to type with all these bandages on my wrists!

The steelers are taken to the scrap yard.

Not me. I do shed a tear when a guy like Johnny Carson dies.

And......may an amorous fruit fly molest Bill Belichick's sister's nectarines.

And, may a weird holy man spray Easy Off on Tom Brady's shorts.

********

Just kidding, another bummer for us yesterday, but these slices on my wrists will heal up in a month or two.

The hubbub this morning is about letting Cowher go after his fourth AFC Championship loss at home. Should he get the long overdue Grady treatment? Clearly he can't win the big game.

Nope it did hit the ground, but the replays were not enough to overturn the BAD call. I'm not trying to be a bad sport, but my eyes are the best, and I know the rules, but the refs apparently believed that there wasn't sufficient evidence on the replays to overturn the original call.

But Brady was so nearly perfect yesterday as he is always when the money is on the line, he would have dissected the Steelers anyhow. He was doing anything he wanted to. It was painful to watch. Not enough pressure on Brady by Pittsburgh, and he is one cool customer. He could walk into The Hall of Fame right now!

He would be a hell of a lot of fun to watch if I lived in Massachusetts! ;-)

Nope. I had this conversation last night with several folks who were not biased towards either team. It was a legit interception in our analysis.

I don't want to argue about that. You and your friends are wrong!

I said that the call not being overturned most likely would have made no difference, so.......... silence!

YES!!! Despite the fact that we played like crap, we were still in the game in the 4th quarter when we were down 14 and had 4th and goal at the 2. Gutless Cowher goes for the field goal, sucking the life out of the crowd and the defense - game over. I was there and it was like a collective punch in the stomach.

Instead of a chance of making it a one score game in the 4th, he makes it an 11 point game. So they need a field goal, a touchdown, and a two-point conversion, i.e. one play from the two yard line where he just had the ball!!! May as well run the play when it's worth 7 than when it's worth 2.

He does this crap every year.
