Color me still very nervous.
:lol:
As Roethlisburger runs for a first down on 3rd down. Maddening.

I know you're grumpy about how this game is unfolding (it ain't over by any means though), but get a grip.
And by the same token Matt Hasselbeck was flagged for blocking below the waist while making a tackle two weeks later in the super bowl. And yes, I do think the NFL wants the Steelers to win every week. They are one of the most popular teams in the league, and its very good if they are successful.

This game is so thrilling, I've got to go to the grocery store and do my weekly shopping to contain myself. :rolleyes:

Yeah, those 3rd down conversions are frustrating. I know. Denver converted a bunch on 3rd-and-long against Pitt last week.
But look on the bright side. Instead, we could be watching the field goal-fest between Tenn and Oakland. Root canal football that is.

Field-goals are our preferred method of scoring points. Because, you know, our defense is so tough.
Re: Bengals v. Squealers err... Stealers... err... Steelers
One word for what the Steelers offense is doing to our defense: Emasculation.

Amazing what happens when you pressure a QB!

Maybe that's the "secret weapon play" Marvin has steadfastly refused to discuss.

Over the years, we've see a ref screw up an overtime coin toss on Thanksgiving in Detroit. We've seen a Tennessee kicker obviously flop after missing a field goal in order to draw a flag to get a second try. I've seen time run out when a ref should have stopped after a sack at the end of a game to deny Pitt a chance for a winning field goal. And I've seen an INT that wasn't to allow Indianapolis back into a game when they were getting hammered.
If the zebras have been Pittsburgh's friends over the years, they sure don't need any enemies.

Man Kenny Watson has sure made the most of his opportunity.
Re: Bengals v. Squealers err... Stealers... err... Steelers
Does CBS have cameras on just one side of the field? On the latest review of Chad's catch and on Santonio's catch earlier, we never got to see the catch form the other side. Hopefully the referee gets to see both angles. If not, then the review process has a major flaw.

TJ likes playing the Steelers.

How do you miss that holding call on the guy holding the jersey of Justin Smith? Oh, because the Steelers did it. Got it. Glad I figured that out.
