Menudo Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 Wow. Never have I seen a game like that !!!!!! The call against Polamalu is going to be the talk of the week. I really can't believe it. How that wasn't an interception is beyond me. That said, I immediately decided that it wasn't an excuse. After that play, they still could have stopped the Colts and they didn't. I couldn't believe the Bettis fumble. Bettis is as class as they come, and if they would have lost that game, my heart would have been broken, because I admire him SO much. Thank goodness Peyton got a little greedy on '2nd and 2' and '3rd and 2', making the Field Goal a tough one. That field goal miss felt a little bit like poetic justice to me. Yes, I am a Steeler homer, but, I thought they deserved that game. Boy, do I wish that was the AFC Championship game, because now the Steelers have another obstacle to climb. They have let me down so many times in the past, that it has me a bit frightened, however, 7 weeks ago, I wouldn't have believed that they would be playing in yet ANOTHER AFC Championship game. In my year's of watching the Steelers, I've never been more proud of the team or coaches as I am right now. They were in a game that no one gave them any hope, and they faced great adversity, and still got it done. I didn't completely agree with the conservatism of the Steelers, but, when you are facing the Colts, you really have to take as much clock out as possible. To the Colts fan, I really like the Colts, I like Peyton Manning, I think a ton of Tony Dungy, and I really feel bad about all the garbage you guys are going to have to hear this off-season. Don't worry, Peyton will win some Super Bowls, I guarantee it. I hope some people realized how good that Ben Roethlisberger is. I know that he wasn't asked to do much in the 2nd half, but, he is the reason they got the lead. Also, the hustle and tackle he made saved the game. I truly can't believe the Steelers are in the AFC Championship. With the craziness of that game, I wonder if someone up in heaven, who is close to me, is pulling some strings. I know that is ridiculous, but trust me, if he could, he would. One last thing, before I start the celebration, WE SHOCKED THE WORLD !!!! HERE WE GO STEELERS, HERE WE GO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Runner Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 Menudo, Don't give the Colts ANY credit. They were supposed to win by 72, remember? Pittsburgh handed them their a$$es, and you should gloat all week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip_Side Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 Congrats Menudo on the steelers win. You won in the dome, a very tough task. Now you have to travel up to the new "mile high" and win there. The road ahead is tough, but you guys shocked the world today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skippy Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 Don't agree with this part. 1267477[/snapback] I'm on the fence with that part. I am not as mad at what they did as I usually am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiskey Pimp Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 Proud of the coaches? Are you kidding me? When will Cowher put the pedal down and finish a team off? Indy didn't belong in this game but the predictable playcalling all second half almost cost them. I cannot believe Harper didn't either wait for blocking or just hit the corner and outrun Roth. Bettis almost cost them the game, Roth's tackle and Manning's greedyness cost Indy the comeback chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt. Ryan Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 My post game thoughts, this game was a snoozer, with Indy finally showing up in the 4th, and Pitt choking the game away before the liquored up Kicker missed to send the game into OT, where Indy wins going away. Oh well, at least Denver has a cake walk to the SB. No way Pitt beats a team that actually has played in a month, unless they cheap shot their QB like they did last week.

I didn't like Cowher's conservative play-calling in the 2nd half. Had Pittsburgh continued to throw the ball, it would have been a blowout. A win is a win, however, but Cowher almost once again blew it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msaint Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 Peyton got a little greedy on '2nd and 2' and '3rd and 2', making the Field Goal a tough one. 1267438[/snapback] THIS is what should get talked about all week...Peyton and Dungy (assuming he has anything to do with the play calls) should be hung out to dry for not getting those 4-5 extra yards for Vjagt. I can see going for the long one to Wayne with the rookie covering him, and it was almost the game right there...but to then come back on 3rd down and go for another relatively long pass play to a WR who didn't even look like he was expecting the ball, well, that was horrific. Peyton will be seeing that one all offseason, as will VJagt who was clearly trying to put extra muscle into the 46-yarder and absolutely butchered it.

Around here, you're a choker unless you win the Superbowl. And even if you do win the Superbowl, it's not because of anything you did - you just got lucky.

Maybe one of these days I'll write "The Hudde Pinhead History of Football": 1967 - Green Bay lucks out on a QB sneak in the closing minutes as Dallas chokes away the Ice Bowl. 1968 - Joe Namath guarantees a Jets win in SB III and is kept from looking like an ass because Earl Morrall, John Unitas, and Don Shula all choke away the game for Baltimore in a 16-7 loss ............. 1988 - Joe Montana is lucky that the Cincy defense chokes down the stretch, allowing him to end a 90 yd drive with a game-winning pass to John Taylor.

Piles Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 Yeah, I am eating crow on this one big time. No way in hell I thought Pitt would take this game and as much as I hate to admit it they clearly deserved to win and that overturned INT was probably one of the worst calls I've ever seen. Congrats are in order for the Steelers they played a great overall game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
