The Manning apologists will have plenty of excuses, but the Steelers deserved this win, and the magic man is still a pumpkin. Pete Morelli suckles from the teet of the Indianapolis Colts. Probably the most egregious call on a replay in NFL history. I actually live with one of his relatives, and have already punched him in the face.January 15, 2006 at 09:32PM View BBCode
since I hate both the Steelers and Broncos, I am definitely rooting for the Seahawks from here on out.....as long as Alexander plays.January 15, 2006 at 09:38PM View BBCode

A 3-point first half is simply not enough offense for a top-seed playing at home, and that performance again rests on Manning's shoulders. Subtract the final touchdown on what was obviously a biased replay call by the official, and you have 10 points of offense from the Golden Child.

Can you imagine a Pittsburgh Steelers-Chicago Bears Super Bowl matchup? I know the event itself transcends the teams involved, but can you imagine a less compelling match-up? Well...maybe. Carolina - Denver probably wouldn't be too compelling, either.January 15, 2006 at 09:41PM View BBCode
Did anyone catch the little finger-wiggle that VanderJerk gave to the Pittsburgh bench when they called that TO to ice him ?January 15, 2006 at 09:42PM View BBCode
Since I don't see too many Colts game in Columbus, does Peyton often override the coach, refuse to come of the field, and go for it on 4th down?January 15, 2006 at 09:44PM View BBCode

Thats not what happened. The punt team just ran out there. Dungy had already called the play into the offense.

I think the Coaching staff has more to do with that loss then any one player on the Colts.

That is basically what the announcers where saying at the time. Dungy explained it in the post-game
Ah ha. I was dealing with noisy children, who were trying to kill eachother. I just heard Dierdork say something to the effect between screams. Never actually saw the TV screen.

I guess at this point I'm hoping for a Steelers-Bears matchup. I like Cowher and Lovie Smith, both. I think Cowher is one of the more underrated coaches in the league, and Smith has done a great job turning Chicago around. And I guess if Billick can win a SB with Trent Dilfer, Smith can figure out how to win one with Grossman...provided, of course, that they get past Carolina.January 15, 2006 at 10:45PM View BBCode
Whisky is right, Manning (and the entire offense) played pretty bad for most of that game. There is enough blame to go around (the O-line didn't do a great job picking up the blitz, for example), but Manning was overthrowing and leading his receivers too much (some of that could be because his recievers were running the wrong routes, but in the end it's Manning's job to make sure everyone is on the same page). I still believe that Manning is the most talented QB in the league and that Tom Brady gets alittle too much credit for his team's success, but in this game Manning did not play like the QB he is cracked up to be.
