Badmike wrote:Dont' worry Shane...from what I saw of the QB play of the Bears today (Rex GROSSman) they might win 14 games and still lose the first playoff game they are in this year. A great defense can take you far, but my god, you at least have to have a human being playing QB and not a spastic love child of a jack in the box and a blind rag doll. He's awful, I wouldn't be surprised if Griese is in there before long...Mike B.

You know what though, the Steelers still won that game despite the fact that call went against them. That is exactly what great teams do, they overcome adversity and win games despite blown calls if and when they occur. Thats why we won Super Bowl 40, no asterisk needed.

Jerramy Stevens, in particular, deserves to wake up with nightmares of regret the rest of his life.Did you notice that your blogger agreed with all my points? I did not say the game was fixed. I said the officials made several crucial bad calls because of the picture they held in their heads.
bclarkie wrote:How do you explain the blown calls that went against the Steelers, especially the blatanlty missed illegal block in the back call on Ben's interception that led to Seattle's only touchdown then? Or perhaps when Stevens fumble suddenly was blown dead as an incomplete pass? Was that them also being blinded by the picture in thier heads or was that something totally different?
Badmike wrote:I don't have any dog in this fight, being a Cowboy fan, but I distinctly remember three things about that game: #1, I thought is wasn't just the worst officiated Superbowl I'd ever seen in my life, but one of the worst officated NFL games PERIOD I'd ever seen and I watch football 24/7 pretty much. Every ref that worked that game should be barred from any type of meaningful playoff interaction forever. #2, I remember thinking that Big Ben was the worst QB of a winning SB team I'd ever seen (the stats bear me out I believe); it's though they won in SPITE of him; and #3, The Hawks simply blew far, far too many opportunities. The Steelers were BEGGING to get beat this game; the Hawks just couldn't close the deal. I think you play that game 10 times, the Hawks win 8 out of ten of those. It was just the Steelers year. Trust me on this, I see the Jackie Smith dropped TD pass in my nightmares some nights.Then again, hopefully Steelers fans see those two beautiful Neil Odonnell passes straight to Larry Brown in their nightmares!!!Mike B.

Their new kicker, Martin Grammatica, hits the FG with 1 second left to give the Boys the win. Giants have lost their 4th in a row and are reeling; I can't wait to see Tom Coughlin's press conference this week.... I'm still not completely sold on the Jets yet....but they seem to be peaking at just the right time. If Pennington is healthy the rest of the way they should make some noise in the playoffs.Mike B.
