And we know there will be at least a regular season re-match. And with a little luck we'll get to do this one again next year.
I'm gonna make sure I call the Steeler's front office tomorrow...give my support to Cowher. The whining poor loser no-character liberal Steeler fans will be calling for his head. I know this 'cause I have a couple of libbie friends back there who always wanna bad-mouth him with every loss.
That TD to get the Stillers within 31-24 could have changed the momentum of the game completly, no excuse for not going for it all there on the 2 yard line.
There is still a possibility.
Otherwise, the Egos don't match up well (understatement). McNabb could keep it tight. However, the coaching and QB are superior. I also like Dillion and those linebackers.
Whoa! Belicheck is 8-1 in the playoffs?
Roeth has the potential to BE the next Tom Brady if he shakes off the rookie mistakes.
TD Steelers! Some point for respect =)
Never quitting!
41 New England Patriots
27 Pittsburgh Steelers
4th Quarter/0:52 left
Stillers score 7 yard pass to Buress at 0:52. 41-27
Should do, Cowher is a great coach.
Give the Pats defense credit for forcing them into that decision.
Here comes the onside kick..
Hope the Pats recover so we can get this thing over with.
They were on their heels and dug in on the goal line. I felt Cowher had no choice.
Its been fun everyone. Have a great night.
The Steelers put up a fight to be proud of tonight. Most teams fold when down 24-3 at the half. If you'd won, I'd absolutely be cheering for you guys against the Eagles.
True enough. They really regrouped with the change of quarter. I think if there's 40 more seconds on that clock when the Steelers get 1st and goal on the 4 they score the TD, but the Pats D used the timeout exactly the way you should, they regrouped, refocused and made the stops.
Game over....
I'd have gone for it. FWIW (nothing).
Absoutely, the Pats know they have been in a game..I thought this might be an all time classic when they were diving to stay in bounds with 10:00 left
10 Atlanta Falcons
27 Philadelphia Eagles
FINAL
This was a good game. Steelers fought hard, and back.
