80,000 screaming, raving fans went mute.

Hey, I agree with your sentiment, but Heinz Field NEVER allowed that many people in the place! Much, much fewer.

But, I get your drift.

That's what I'm thinking as well.

You have nothing to worry about!

Pats 31......Philly Weenies 13.

Make room for another ring.

if only that TD was as certain then as it is now...

You stupid young, sophomoric b*stard....... don't you get it yet!?

It wasn't as if the TD was CERTAIN! NO ONE said that, a**hole!

Are you actually dumber than you look on your page?

It was about the numbers and the emotionality of the moment on the 2 yard line.

I swear, I will NEVER reply to you again. You're just a stubborn punkly kid.

You distort things when it suits you, as you whined and moaned when that guy suggested that St. Louis won two Super Bowls. Right?? You're just a little dweeb.

A stubborn foolish, arrogant punk rooting for Philly.

I will have nothing to do with such an a**hole.

Get some pancake makeup next time if you feel the need to show your sweaty, childlike face on your page.

After two nail biters I'm hoping to be celebrating a little earlier this time.

I hope you shut that team out, if only because of their fans.

As I may have said to you before, I love watching your team play about as much as I like to watch the Steelers when they're running on all cylinders. It is like hearing a great symphony play together. It's truly beautiful.

Good Luck!

Well we've got another week of T.O. hype to put up with. The players and coaches love the bye week but it's a real pain for us fans.

I wonder if we'll ever see a Super Bowl shutout. Dallas in Super Bowl 6 is the only team never to allow a touchdown in one Super Bowl.

Shutouts are tough in Super Bowls, the teams are always pretty good. ;-)

The Steelers tried against the Vikings long ago, 16-6.

The score was 2-0 at the half! I remembered that score during last year's Super Bowl when it looked like we might have the first scoreless half in Super Bowl history. Tarkenton did a good job to just fall on the ball and take the safety (which I think was the first safety ever in a Super Bowl).

Fran Tarkington was running for his life that day. Being our first Super Bowl I was going nuts.... and way too many beers.

2-0 .... a real baseball score!

Now that I think about it you're right. Why do we pronounce his name Tark-ING-ton when it's spelled Tarkenton? Then again there's the whole Brett Favre pronunciation issue as well. I heard Bradshaw in an interview say they were more happy about beating Oakland in the AFC title game than winning the Super Bowl that year. Was Minnesota favored going into that game?

absolutely, positively, undeniably NO CLUE what your talking about.

shhh - keep it down before my advertisers hear. if they stop sponsoring my show, I'll just be a raving idiot on the internet. you know, like you, except with some actual insight.

iIt wasn't as if the TD was CERTAIN! NO ONE said that, a**hole!

the bottom line is that a vast majority of the people upset with the call would be equally upset if they had gone for it and not scored.

far too often, the coach is perceived as a genius if something works, an idiot if it doesn't. the ends justify the means way too often. (no wonder most of these teams are in blue cities. maybe we're on to something.)

what's especially galling is that you have a LEGITIMATE call to complain about on 2nd down two snaps earlier - then again, if THAT caught NE by surprise, I'm sure it would have been brilliant five days later.

any idiot can criticize a playcall after it doesn't work.

personally, I'd be madder at Cowher for throwing his rookie QB under a bus after the game.

LOL..I'd be interested to know what insight you thing you brought to the thread. All I see from you are ad hominem and out and out misrepresentations of fact.

Is that what you mean by insight...
perhaps you meant "INCITE".

Now that I would agree with.

Have a nice day ...and grow up ....SOON :)

you might get your wish - I don't expect one of those "two fighters sizing each other up" first quarters. both teams have very compelling reasone to come out aggressive. it might not necessarily translate into fireworks, but I suspect they'll both make it a point to test each other early. in particular, I feel the Eagles especially can't afford to play cautiously.

I'll take that as a "I brought nothing" to the table.

It's a shame..didn't think you'd give up so quickly..
But..ok, thanks for the update to my update.
