I really despise that Patriot hater Merril Hoge.

Not nearly as much as I despise that Eagle hater, Merril Hodge!

I'd be surprised if the Pats scored 44 as well but then again I'm still happily stunned they put up 41 on the Steelers.

Pro football coaches are nearly all balless wonders.

Cowher proved it once again last night on the two yard line. Cowher a balless wonder! How bad would it have been if they didn't shove it in on 4th down?

If we didn't score the TD, the Patriots get the ball right by their goal line........... then they usually play it safe and have to punt. The Steelers get the ball back after a punt and are still within FG distance within moments. What's lost???? -- other than our chance to score the TD!

I'll tell you what was LOST...... the feeling by the offense and the rest of the players on the team that the pussy coach had FAITH in them all!!!!

Cowher was a loser last night......... once again. A conservative cowardly loser! Same old, same old!!!

What a bummer for the players!!!

28 of those points will be returned interceptions for touchdowns. Its not that I want the Pats to win so much as Eagles to lose. ESPN and all the other experts have chosen them as the team to beat, and they're just not that good. A sound a**whippin' at the hands of the Patriots will shut the smug ESPN McNabb water carriers up and answer once and for all weather Donovan is a good QB or not..

I hear you, but I hate balless coaches, and Cowher was a balless coach on the 2 yard line. I really hate it when the coach takes the game out of the players' hands!

Cowher fails the same way every time!

Westbrook is a WR.

That averaged 6 yards a carry against the 8th best rushing defense in the NFL Sunday.

The throw on second down was really odd.

The Belichick alumns are going to be to the league around 2008 what the Walsh alumn were to the 90s.

Totally agree. BTW...Nick Saban is a Belichick alumn.

Beating the Colts and Steelers as they did was a serious statement considering the Offense of the one and the Defense of the other.

Sounds like they know how to handle offense and defense.

Is there anything else?

I just ran across this written in our local Post-Gazette. Seems very similar to my feelings!

"Yes, we all know that Bill doesn't throw or run, but really, to call for a field goal from the 2, when trailing the defending world champions by 14 at the start of the fourth quarter, with the team having is best momentum of the game, was absurd."

Even if the Steelers failed, leaving the Patriots at the 1 or 2, both the crowd and the defense would have still been going crazy, not to mention that the Steelers might actually have scored. Instead, Cowher brilliantly managed to simultaneously take the crowd and the defense out of the game."

Cowher- the balless wonder.
