Anything constructive to post?

Ya got to play 60 minutes gentlemen. The Pats can't win the game on paper. As Madden says, "that's why they play the game--to find out who's really the best team."

If the Steelers lose by 4 points or less, Cowher might not make it out of the stadium tonight.

If the Pats can score on this drive, I'll breathe a little easier.

I dont know about that decision, they had New England on the ropes there..

[Nexus6]

The replay was pretty clear

I think we'll have to agree to disagree on that one. Having said that, I will almost never blame a loss on the officiating (unlike those dern Iggles fans), 99% of the time questionable/bad calls will go both ways in a game.

[Big Giant Head]

That made no sense to me. Stillers should have gone for it. still need two TDs so that didn't really gain them anything. And if thay didn't get it, the Pats would have been pinned deep.

I guess that's why I'm not a coach in the NFL.

[TheRatHunter]

A takeaway would be really nice right now.

[raccoonradio]

they would have booed louder if the Steelers tried to run it in on 4th down and wound up with NO points

[big'ol_freeper]

38-20 sounds very constructive to me.

[MIT-Elephant]

Funny thing is, three years after super bowl 36 they're still saying the Rams were the best team.

[BJungNan]

No, that was a good call.

[gopwinsin04]

This is a title fight, and in a championship bout you go for the knockout blow.

[mikrofon]

Deferring the same play for the 2-pt conversion, if it ever gets to that point.

[Radix]

It was a catch, but he was down by contact.

The officials gave the Steelers a break there.

[discostu]

they needs 7s, 3s aren't going to win it. Better to go for the TD, if they don't get it the Pats get the ball at their own 2. WIth the FG they're still down 2 scores and the Pats are at midfield.

[big'ol_freeper]

Here comes the slow painful death part.....

[TheRatHunter]

Questionable call there, he was run out of the sidelines before the chain ended..

[Big Giant Head]

Okay, so I'm not laughing at your post thingy anymore.

[Cboldt]

This is a title fight, and in a championship bout you go for the knockout blow.

Or, in New England's case at this point, you go for running the clock.

[lavrenti]

Either way it remains a two score game. Cowher is counting on the defense to hold.
