You poor thing.
I don't know why anyone would spend a dime for him.
Yeah. Bad call. But the key to the game was Roethlisberger's poor performance. Don't know what the reason was, but he seems hurt. The last two weeks his passes have been floating.
I agree. This is a no-lose for the bookmakers.
Both games, there was apparently an issue with his thumb. He was pouring cold water on it even in this weather. He may have a deep infection from an injury.
Sadly most Superbowls I recall have been boring blowouts with little in doubt as the end approached. That said in recent years there have been some very good games and I hope like you that trend continues with the one this year. These two teams were easy picks to be in the Superbowl early this season and they have held true to form.
At least he finally took off the glove..
are you series?
Yes, I am series!!!
6.5 Fav.

I really want to see someone else win besides New England. But if they bring the best game, so be it. That certainly has to be respected. See ya on game day. :O)
Cowher blew this game. Cowher was so outcoached. Despite all the miscues, they were down 14 won the NE 4 (total 4 down situation) with 14 1/2 minutes left in the 4th at home. Cowher
lost the game with that call. He is not an elite coach. He's lost 5 out of 6 AFC Championship Games at Home-- I am convinces that the Steelers will never win with him at the helm.
To take 3 dumps on first second and third down and to not have Hines Ward even in the game is unforgivable. Perhaps this is emotiong talking, but he should be fired.
The Steeler fans can now either sob in their beers or into their terrible towels...
Despite Roethlisberger's bad performance they were still in this game until Cowher gave the game away. The whole crowd booed and all the STeelers look deflated. Cowher blew this game.
Or plan for next year =P
13 years and Cowher still hasnt been fired yet, dont count on it..
Let me think about it. :O)
I don't think Philadelphia has a chance. This may be one of the most lopsided Superbowls in history.
I didn't think they could do it. I'm sure the Philly fans will take these next two weeks with their usual grace and charm. The Patriots are a different story, though. They ALWAYS win. Every call goes their way. It's scary.
Don't forget, too, that the Stillers couldn't STOP the Pats = 41 big points...
The New York football Giants..
