Not going for that TD sunk the Steelers in my opinion. A TD in that situation would have put all the pressure on the Patriots. Now the Pats leisurely took 4 minutes off the clock and got the field goal back anyhow. Still a two touchdown game. If the Pats defense can hold off the Steelers on this possession, the game is pretty much in the bag (for the Pats).

That said, kudos to the Steelers. They are not giving up like the Colts did last week.

I think Cowher made the right call. If they were stopped on that fourth down it would have been devastating.

I disagree. All the pressure is on the Steelers. Had they not gotten that field goal, it would be a much different game right now. Two TD's and a field goal would be impossible.

Colts didn't give up. The Patriots wore their defense down to nothing in the second half.

I disagree with the FG on fourth down. Three or seven makes no difference.

Oh well, Moot point, now. That's an interception.

Nice comments, Sam.

Judging from the crowd's reaction, I'd say they didn't like the field goal. These fans know the game better than I do..
