Weis called a brilliant game. Who would have thought the Pats would hold Indy to 3 points last week and score 41 on the Steelers this week?! Amazing.

If TO is back, it'll be good.

Here's hoping the Pats will pluck the Iggles.

I don't think there's all that much doubt about that. Belichek will game plan the hell out of the iggles.

3rd down and 9 with 2:30 left and they get a 25 yard run for a TD.

Just left the 'D' hanging out there too long.

Roethlisberger is going to be an excellent quarterback. He just needs time to mature.

[TheRatHunter]

I'm proud of em for not giving up. Hopefully Roeth will ripen in the next season. I'm interested to see how they will fare without Bettis too, as he's possibly retiring.

Congrats, we'll see ya next year.

[mainepatsfan]

We won't let Steeler nation down.

[lavrenti]

I like Rothisberger's character. He's going to have an excellent future.

The howls of Pittsburgh radio protest will focus on Cowhers field goal decision.

That's too bad. It's easy to second guess any single choice, but this game doesn't appear to hinge on any single choice or mistake.

If TO is back, it'll be good.

TO is done.

[mainepatsfan]

Thanks. You've been very classy today and last week.

[gopwinsin04]

LOL, frozen defense is right..see the Pats next year--have fun shutting up T.O. in the anticlimatic Bowl!

[big'ol_freeper]

Jerome Bettis has always been one of my favorite players, even before he came to the NFL. The game will miss him.

[discostu]

Hope so, he has the potential. We'll see how the sophomore slump hits him. Kind of sucks for him that his first loss in 2 years at any level comes at the end of the season, that gives him a lot of time to ruminate.

Congrats to the Pats. Onward to the Superbowl, I always root for the AFC in the Superbowl, cause I'm an AFC guy.

[baseballfanjm]

I knew it. I was just wondering if they'd do it.

[TheRatHunter]

As have you. I may have wanted to chuck several things through my TV today, but the game is never really over! Here's to another winning season for both teams next year!

[BJungNan]

"Can the Steelers turn it around?" was kinda funny when they were down by a couple dozen, but they're back in it, so....

I quit laughing.

Hey, I was rooting for them. I'm a steelers fan. Anyhow, it is over now.

[TheRatHunter]

I think everyone will miss Bettis, he's a legend. He'll never really be replaced.

[BIGLOOK]

Congratulations, Maine! Solid team and a savvy QB. And a SOB for a coach.

Next, Eagle, toasted with a nice chianti.
