Menudo Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I wouldn't call it hindsight champions, I just won some money off one of my buddies over here, when I bet him that Jacksonville would win this game 31-29 after the 2nd 2 point conversion. Could you be the Godfather of my next child. You are clearly the smartest person alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWPFFL BrianW Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I never said that it was a no-brainer. I just said that his decision to go for 2 after that first TD in the 4th made sense. PIT had been trailing the entire game, so who could've envisioned that they'd score three TDs in the fourth quarter? Good rarely comes from going for 2 with that much clock left, particularly in the NFL, when your Indianapolis Colts are the best example of how a team can come back with not much time. Nothing good ever comes of going for 2 with that much time. Risk is not worth the reward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gdawg Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I thought that the Garrard QB draw on 4th and 2 was not only incredibly ballsy, it was a stroke of genius. Garrard got the first down and then forced PIT to use its timeouts. I was wondering to myself what set of plays I'd use on 3 and 2, then 4th and 2, and frankly a QB draw did not come to mind. Well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovers Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 O-B-S-E-S-S-I-O-N LMFAO! YOU calling anyone else obsessed? I can say this much.... if it were MY team in a playoff game, I would NOT be posting on some freakin message board while the game was being played. I'd be glued to the TV. THAT would be an obsession..... but you wave that terrible towel so often, and then spend time on a message board while your team is playing.... well, nevermind. Yer funny.

I guess it could be in the realm of possibility that said obsessive person could easily have a laptop with wireless connection, or a computer with the game on it, or a computer with a view of a tv with the game on it. But then again, I think outside the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HowboutthemCowboys Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Late to the party here but, whoever called the play on 3rd and 5 where Roth ran the ball should be fired. Worst play call I've seen in a LONG time. That's what you call playing to not lose the game , instead of playing to win. HORRIBLE. I've read the last few pages of this thread and can't believe that no Steeler fans are puking over this play call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menudo Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I've read the last few pages of this thread and can't believe that no Steeler fans are puking over this play call. Well, I didn't necessarily like it, but, I knew what they were doing. Roethlisberger is a good runner and hard to bring down. They wanted to try for the first, with the advantage of making the Jags call a timeout if they didn't get it. Obviously, I would rather they show some guts and throw for the game-clinching first down, but, it seems to be the norm in the NFL in those types of situations. Hopefully, Tomlin (who I assume approved the call) will learn from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laptop or not Khloe, Kim and Kourtney Kardashian-are you doing posting at a message board while your team is playing in a playoff game? Laptop or not, that is weak! You seem more worried about your Steeler PR at the Huddle than you are in the freakin team! By the way, I turned 53 just yesterday, but you don;'t seem to understand the idea of respecting elders!

Rovers, I've always like you. I'm not sure why you have an issue with me, but, your agenda tonight is clear. Why am I posting here during a playoff game ? I love this place. I used to make fun of people like me, that posted on a message board, and actually cared what anonymous people thought. Then, some significant things happened in my life, and I realized how great some of the people on this board can be, and made some "internet friends", who helped me through some difficult times. Years, ago, I would have thought that would have been impossible, but, I love this place, and like interacting with people who dwell here.

You wrote poems, yo asked for all the attention, and you got it. Then, when you get the attention, you don't like it. When you play in the sandbox, and throw a lot of sand, guess what? You get some sand thrown back at you. It's not a complicated sociology problem. I used to root for the Steelers. You changed that, Congrats.

H8tank Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Wow... I had a shell chambered, and my toe on the trigger... needless to say, wow. jackschit, I did comment on the Holmes catch, he had it. The pass interference in the the endzone however was a JOKE. After our last discussion of the last Pitt/Jax game a few weeks ago... which coach were the Pitt fans BOOING while the pitt D was on the field in the first half?

I'm not mad at you. I love all of it. I love ripping on people and getting ripped on myself. That is what this place is all about. If you really stopped rooting for the Steelers because of me, than all I can say is, WOW, that is quite a compliment. I never thought as an anonymous person that I could have that much impact on someone's real life. Take care Rovers, like I said before, I think you are a GREAT guy that really needs to lighten up, which I know has been said to you before.

Gdawg Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 (edited) The Steelers had a great season, they did much better than many (myself included) expected. Hats off to them. PIT was the best team in our division this season. Jacksonville is a VERY good team, even better than I thought. Garrard is one cool customer.
