Don't forget when the play where Pittsburgh false-started, caused Indy to jump and the refs rule no penalty. Uh guys? The entire fucking defensive line jumped and made contact. SOMEBODY committed a foul. |

I've been a fan of Jerome Bettis since his days with the Rams, Bill Cowher since he became the Steelers coach, and the Steelers since, well, as long as I can remember.
Having said that, I am convinced Bill Cowher will never win the Super Bowl unless they rename it the "Stupid Bowl." That guy makes Marty Shottenheimer look like a fricken Rhodes Scholar. That play he ran with 1:04 left on the clock WITH A FIRST AND GOAL AT THE ONE WAS THE MOST IDIOTIC, ASSININE, RIDICULOUS, FUCKED-UP PLAY CALL I'VE EVER SEEN. It was so stupid, so head-numbingly bizarre I doubt we will ever see its equal again. Bill Cowher is a disgrace to the great legacy of the Steelers football team. |

What would you have called? A field goal would have only been a 6 pt lead. Why not put it into the hands of the nest short yardage back in the league for 3 downs?

dude. seriously. you are gonna blow a gasket. what would you have done? he gave it to bettis who tends to protect the football VERY well. 9 times out of 10 that play right there is a touchdown. thank the heavens for big ben shoestringing that guy, that's all I gotta say. indy had 3 timeouts left, so they couldn't take a knee. I mean come on, 1st and goal on the 1, what other option is there besides giving it to the bus. now if he would have lined up kreider, bettis and parker in the backfield and given it to parker, hmm...  they won, that's the important thing. |

nope, indy had all 3 timeouts. they would have got the ball back. no way did they want to risk manning getting his hands on the ball for another couple downs. steelers were obviously just planning on running it up the gut 4 times. worst case they'd not score and indy would get the ball back on the 1yard line with MAYBE with time enough to run a couple plays. |

Bro, Indy had all three time outs left. If Ben would have taken a knee Indy would have called back to back to back time outs, forced a field goal and gotten the ball back with a minute left on the clock. Cowher made the right call and gave it to the right man. The Bus is one of the best when it comes to holding onto the ball...it was just one of those fluke playoff type of things. Instead you should be pissed at the ref he took the interception away from us. If they wouldn't have overturned it we would have never been in that situation. GO STEELERS!!! |

One thing I'm not is a Steelers fan (Ravens season ticket holder), but once they beat Cinci last week I decided that I'd pull for them the rest of the season since they are from the same division. I've never once in my life cheered for a good Steelers play. Today I was screamin!!!
 What a game! Anybody but the Dolts.ETA: er....uh.....Go Steelers!!!

I feel bad for Indy.
They were on the fast track to the Super Bowl until Dungee's son offed himself. It took the wind out of the sails of the entire organization. |

You kneel the ball three times, make the Colts burn all three time-outs, then either kick the field goal or run the ball into the endzone. My preference would be to skip the field goal and attempt to run the ball in ON FOURTH DOWN with Indy out of time-outs. Net result? No matter the outcome of the final play, Indy has no timeouts and is either down by nine points (the game is over) or has to go the entire length of the field to stay alive. Running the ball on first down is sheer lunacy. |

You kneel the ball THREE times, forcing Indy to WASTE every one of their time-outs. Then, you attempt to run the ball into the endzone. If you score, you leave Indy in a nine point hole with no timeouts. If you don't score, Indy has to drive the whole length of the field with NO timeouts, STARTING at their own TWO yard line. Bill Cowher's career was saved by an opposing kicker. So was Bettis' legacy. Jerome would have gone down so hard, Ernest Byner would send him Christmas Cards every year for taking the heat off him. |

Just remember, that missed field goal would have only TIED the game, not won it. And that interception call was bullshit!
I've been a Steelers fan all of my life, but I can be critical when necessary. Pittsburgh has a bad habit (and always has) of sitting on leads. 21-3 at one point and you win by an asshair?!?! Granted, there were SHITTY calls that went Indy's way. I've seen and heard of the "Prevent Defense", but until today I had not seen the "Prevent Offense". NINE (!) consecutive running plays against a team with the ability to quickly come back? Good thing I was at work---at a hospital---'cause I was about to have a friggin' stroke!!! |

Bill Cowher is a disgrace to the great legacy of the Steelers football team.
Anyone saying that is not a Steeler's fan. I imagine you could do better than Cowher? Yes, the Steeler often sit on a lead & run out the clock. This time since the officials were on the side of the Colt's all day it became more problematic. The head ref knew he had to give Indy the ball back on the intercep or the game was over. The calls favoring Indy were so blatant a blind man could see it. From the Randle El play, to at least 2 late hits I saw, the whole Indy front line coming across the line to the interception. I'm surprised they didn't penalize Big Ben from the last moment tackle after the Bettis fumble. That crew should be banned from football. The Steelers are always the underdog since they don't have the flashy players & come from a working man's city. If you can't handle Cowher's couching go root for an NFC team. |

I could have on that play. Face it, when the Steelers get into the playoffs and face quality opponents, Cowher is almost always outcoached.
I didn't know Cowher "couched," but I'm still an AFC guy, thank you. |

I think wobblin_gobblin has a point, even though I am a huge STEELERS and COWER fan. That would have made good sense, we can but if it to death, but if my mom had balls she'd be my dad!
Jerome Bettis has been golden holding onto the football ALL YEAR! What a freak thing for him to lose the ball at that point...that's football. Had Bettis scored on that play or the subsequent play, whatever, would you even be saying anything, other than GO STEELERS!? |

If Bettis scores on that play, Indy then has 1:15 left on the clock and ALL THREE timeouts.
It would *smarter* to kneel the ball THREE times, taking the clock down to 1:15 and then try to run it in. If you score, you win the game due to there being about 1:10 left on the clock, a 10 point lead, and you leave Indy without ANY timeouts. If you don't score on fourth down, the ball is on the three yard line, Indy has NO timeouts, and there's 1:10 on the clock. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
