Same here. Good luck in the Super Bowl.
The Broncos went farther than I thought they would this year and while this is a disappointing end to the season, this is a team on the way up and with just another piece or two to the puzzle, I think they will be ready to win a championship.Don't care its Detroit. Anheuser Busch must not have bought a SB for St Louis. Hell, we could have the thing over at E St Louis High - still be better'n Detroit.
When did he outcoach Belichek? Didn't they only play once this year?
you know it's gonna be 20 for the game though. That's our luck.
I totally agree. Anyone who blames this loss on Plummer is an idiot and is ignoring the putrid performance by the defense in the first half. Down 24-3 at the half, you are put in a position of playing from behind and against a defense like Pittsburgh's, it is almost impossible to not make a mistake or two. Denver is set at QB. That much is obvious.And I just want to say ... Plummer didn't play a great game, with 2 pretty bad INTs. But we better not have Denver fans placing this game 100% on him.
He also never gave up and that last TD drive really showed me something. Give Jake several more years as Broncos' QB.
Yeah. I went to college in Pittsburgh, always rooted for the Steelers when it didn't affect the Broncos. Cawhr Pawhr!
That may be the understatement of 2006.
with a tint of sarcasm.
I guess that's ok.
I was off on the Broncos score. Congrats Steelers
Dudn't matter. Its Detroit. I just dont get the rotation. Several warm cities, lots of stuff to travel for........and Detroit.BTW brother, I really don't give a hoot. Didnt expect anyone to actually defend Detroit. 
Congrats on a great year. No need to panic in the offseason, just a couple pieces away from being the best, and that's a lot better than most can say.Big giant to the Steelers. 
Good luck in the big dance. This will be first, and it might hurt a little but... 
This one really feels good given the Bettis situation, and I am so happy for coach Cowher - exorcised some demons today. I have been saying for years that the reason he's has a subpar record in conference title games is the QB play, this year seems to bear that out. First team ever to go through the conference's top 3 seeds on the road, and Cowher, Whisenhunt, LeBeau and crew deserve a huge amount of credit for their gameplans each week. They've been brilliant in taking what the defense gives them and confusing the opposition on both sides of the ball. Of all the great years Cowher has had as a coach, this has to be his best, regardless of the outcome 2 weeks from now.That said, I think this is the year. Ben is ready and we're going to break this 26-year drought. Cowher's got the "can't win the big game" rep in the ground already, now it's time to shovel some dirt on that. 
My hat is off to the Denver fans in this thread - no whining, no excuses, all class. To Ghost Rider, with whom I have had a number of gentlemanly disagreements : this is the reason why I will always debate football with you. In addition to bringing good knowledge and analysis to the table, you're never a crybaby and you're a class act.

I have a ton of respect for Denver-- just wasn't their day..
Great game today steelers. Gonna be mighty tough to beat that in Detroit. I'm back on the bandwagon for 2 more weeks. Best of luck.... 1 MORE BABY!!!You're actually going to cut your Terrible Towel?
Why? Do you have an up-and-coming washcloth to replace it?
Every time I think I've seen it all from you, you NEVER, EVER cease to amaze. :11: :11: :11:
DETROIT, HERE WE COME!! Cheers to the Broncos fans, you guys were class all the way. 
Part of the reason it was 24-3 at the half was because of Plummers poor decision making. You could read the lips of the coordinator on the sideline imploring Jake to "go through your reads!". I've always liked Plummer and would be the first to stick up for him,but in the first half he was awful.I totally agree. Anyone who blames this loss on Plummer is an idiot and is ignoring the putrid performance by the defense in the first half.

Brady definitely missed some throws but "and I'm trying to be a good teammate here" there is a bit of a difference in how the banged up (3rd stringer playing left tackle) Patriots line got overrun by the Denver blitz and how the Steelers veteran line kept the Denver blitz scheme off of Rothliesberger. Big Ben is playing great but he hasnt taken nearly the amount of hits that Brady took.That being said? How the hell did Denver beat the Pats? (answer Big Ben and his offensive lne has played much better than Tom Brady and his offensive line)
Cowher outcoached Belichick? When, earlier in the year when Pitt LOST to the Patriots? Shanahan outcoached Belichick last week and now Cowher is taking it to Shanahan. If Cowher actually WINS the SB he is likely to become a Hall of Fame coach. If he never wins one, no matter his success, I dont think he would get in.
LOL, Cowher's not doing better coaching now than he ever has. He's taken a lot of chances in the playoffs over the years, but always had to tailor his gameplans to his personnel.He just has a QB capable of playing well in a big game when the defense takes away the running game.
Cowher needs to win a SB. This is his year. Good for him. Seriously.
I AGREE 110%. Bill cowher didn't just figure it out this year and people that cite his AFCCG record are dopes in my opinion.Oh yeah, WE DEY! (I love sticking it to Bungle fans whenever I can.)
trip.
