I think it's going to come down to which quarterback has the better day. The one that does will allow his team to open up the run.

Bettis had a torn groin last time and played sparingly

That's funny, he said he was 100% before the game..... maybe he just got used and abused and sat down in shame?

He's a great defensive coach and with the right people he could have done well. The front office undercut him left and right, they didn't replace the players they lost with anyone good and he was trying to coach Parcells' guys. There is a huge difference with coaching in the NFL and the college game as at the pro level, you are at the mercy of your stars and bad contract decisions made by the front office. In college you can screw with a guy's future earning capability. In the pros it becomes a lot harder.

Ty Law was interviewed for a story about Pete Carroll and he said that if you can't play for Pete then it's really your problem.

They did a pretty good job with that field. You wouldn't even know what was going on out there past the parking lot. Stay warm, everyone.

If I were him I'd stay at USC and become an all time great college coach.

Make shift line, top corner goes down with a broken foot, fumble by Faulk, left tackle got beat on a blitz and stips Brady and A receiver falls down on a pass route (Heinz Field was a joke that day) and suddenly, they are down 24-3.

4 plays that truly changed the outcome of the game. Steelers are a real team and if you are going to beat them, you can't make mistakes and be missing key people.

I'm sure the Patriots are going to be very careful with the ball today.

I think the boy singing the national anthem had some kind of disease.

That kid's rendition of the anthem was pretty emotional.

I tear up at the Anthem -- why can't they?

Anyone know who the kid was? If they said so in the into I missed it.

I couldn't tell if it was that or the wind

Seemed the only ones that had tears were those in the military
