I don't get the illegal procedure penalty on the Bettis touchdown that was called back. Hines Ward was on the line of scrimmage, covering the tight end. If it had been a pass play (and the TE had released), it'd be ineligible man down field. But since it was a running play, what was the problem? You have to have seven or more playes on the line of scrimmage. Eight should be okay. What am I missing?

Just a guess, but is it because it then makes the TE an ineligible receiver wearing an eligible number?

That's probably it. He would have had to report to the ref before the huddle in that case.

I don't think that this is a rule. I think they blew the call.
 
Imagine that...A wide open Steeler WR

Simms: Coach Cowher, when I talked to heem on Fridee, said they were gonna git their receivers involved in the geem, and throw them the ball.
 
Up to this point, the NFL playoffs sure have sucked...Hopefully Carolina and Seattle can provide the viewers with a decent game.

 
Goal line back is the most overated phrase in football. Almost any NFL quality running back can score from the 1 if that was his only job. Its about the offense line. With Bus case he knows his line but i can guarntee willparker or Veron haes could do the exact same thing or if not the fullback could. running backs get knocked for not having goaline ability but that can change easily. Look at Corey dillon when he was with Cincy he was always knocked as a bad goaline runner, (I rember him tripping over a lineman), now he is praised as a goal line finsher. What israre is aplayer who can do it all and still finsh as Shaun Alexander

I'm sorry, but I find this totally absurd. There is no RB in the NFL that runs with a forward lean as well as Bettis in short yardage. GL running is about finding the hole, running low, moving the pile when you need to and falling forward rather than backward on impact. Nobody does that better than Bettis right now nor has anyone done it better the last 4-5 years. It amazes me every time I watch Bettis run in these situations how he ALWAYS finds a way to contort his body in a way to get that last foot-yard push with his unique body lean and power.

If the Steelers keep playing like this, they will never lose again.Edit to add: It's only fair to say that I hate the Steelers, but I have money on them. I win either way.

Could Shanny be on thin ice if this pummeling continues in the 2nd half?????

What? It's the AFC Championship game.

I remember hearing mid-season rumblings that a Super Bowl run would be needed for Shanny to get another long term extension..........

He was 14-3, they beat the team who has won three of the last four Super Bowls, and they are one of four teams left. I'd say he's ok.

Agreed Doc. It's a ridiculous question. But just like the Colts complaining last week, expect to see it. Some people cannot remember anything past the last game.J

 
Why is Lynch not blitzing like last week on every play

His insane coverage skillz are required against the aerial might of Air Cowher.Freaking duh!!!!!!

 
My first half thoughts:1. Ben Roethlisberger looked terrible in the first half. He threw 3 INTS. NONE were caught. a. Bailey whiffs on the pick on the first drive, it pops in the air and is caught for a 1st down. b. Ben threw an INT in the end zone on another drive that was dropped by the CB.c. Ben threw one right in the hands of a Bronco to end the half - the defender simply whiffs - it goes right thru his hands and lands in the hands of a Steeler for a TD.The Steelers also could NOT run the football at all. But with the dropped interceptions and constantly 3rd down conversions, the Steelers take a huge lead.If I'm the Broncos, I change nothing in the second half. I trust thata. The Steelers can't run the footballb. Ben will continue to make poor throwsI also wouldn't give up on my gameplan yet. Keep the pressure on Roethlisberger. Run the ball, get a TD, cut this to 24-10. Hopefully your secondary has better hands in the last 30 minutes.

Well lets see this year just for pittsburghVerron haynes had 3 td on 15 attempts from 1-19 yds out=20%

Bettis had 9 tds on 42 touches=21%

then Alstott has 6 tds on only 16 attempts for 38%

Seems to me bettis job isnt all that hard

I just wanted to pile on. :thumbup:
 
Randle El made a nice catch (albeit a risky one) on that punt. Over the shoulder catches are risky. And again - nice camerawork CBS.

1-19 yards out is hardly goalline duty.Try 1-5 or 1-10.
