Like most fans, I'd probably go for it on 4th down every time.

-- Yep, and you may want to add to that, "like most players I'd probably go for it on 4th down".

Personally, I never thought that the Steelers had a chance against this juggurnaut called the Patriots.

-- If the Steelers put it in down there on the 2 yard line, they were only 7 points behind with a whole quarter to go..... and all the MO on their side. Things may have been greatly different.

They are in a class all by themselves lately. -- The Patriots are great, excellent, and more than that, they play brilliantly when it counts. That's GREAT!

I just have to say, the only thing that really bugs me about losing is not the losing itself, it is losing because of coaching. That may have happened here. That is becoming a regular affair in this city with this football team. It does a disservice to the players.

In that scenario, I would go for the TD EVERY time because if you dont, it's game over!

I din't think they would win either, at the beginning of the game. But I sure thought they had a real chance if they made a TD instead of a FG. I was actually looking for some kind of fake and run or pass.

When the stillers did actually kick the FG, I turned to my wife and said "GAME'S OVER".
