he's only got a qb with banged up knees to beat and he tries a triple deek? 
just fake inside and go back outside with DB speed...there's NOWAY they would have caught him. 
So many "ifs". If dumb official actually makes the right call on INT....what the hell was he doing?
exactly, as corner back you should never get caught by a backpeddling quarter back.though, maybe getting stabbed the day before had something to do with it.
IF the guy returning the fumble is also the guy dumb enough to get stabbed by his wife the night before the game, how can you expect him to be smart on the field? You had the correlation correct, just missed on the cause and effect relationship.exactly, as corner back you should never get caught by a backpeddling quarter back.though, maybe getting stabbed the day before had something to do with it.
if you didn't post this, i'd have that 2 seconds of my life back.
this would have been clever if it was original.If you would have used them to start more threads like this, the rest of us are glad they're gone.if you didn't post this, i'd have that 2 seconds of my life back.
This coming from the guy who pulled out the old "I'd have that 2 seconds of my life back" retort?this would have been clever if it was original.If you would have used them to start more threads like this, the rest of us are glad they're gone.if you didn't post this, i'd have that 2 seconds of my life back.
you're not too sharp are you?This coming from the guy who pulled out the old "I'd have that 2 seconds of my life back" retort?this would have been clever if it was original.If you would have used them to start more threads like this, the rest of us are glad they're gone.if you didn't post this, i'd have that 2 seconds of my life back.
your post was unoriginal BECAUSE i posted the same thing. try an keep up.
So you knew that with the extra 2 seconds you would have simply aggravated the rest of us and presumed that we knew that you knew you had nothing more valuable to do with your time? I didn't realize that you had such low self-esteem. I stand corrected.you're not too sharp are you?This coming from the guy who pulled out the old "I'd have that 2 seconds of my life back" retort?this would have been clever if it was original.If you would have used them to start more threads like this, the rest of us are glad they're gone.if you didn't post this, i'd have that 2 seconds of my life back.

...and aromatic asparagus piss at that.
thank you, message board nazi's.
if if if..woulda coulda shoulda..if bettis doesn't fumble , we're not having this discussion.what the hell was he doing?
Yet here you sit posting a message on a FF message board and not playing or a coach with all that insight and knowledge.what the hell was he doing?
i think on any play where the runner runs untouched through the line and gets to the second level, at some point he is one move or one broken tackle away from taking it to the house, but most of the time, the defensive back either makes the tackle, or forces him to the sideline, or does something to slow the runner enough to allow other defenders to make the play. so while harper may have been one cutback away from a TD, presenting your argument in such a way that you're basically saying "all he had to do was cut back and it's a TD" take away from the spectacular heads-up defensive play made by Roethlisberger. The reason the play did not result in a Colt TD was Roethlisberger's great play, not the fact that Harper stupidly forgot to cut the other way.True, but the fact remains, if he cuts back he's gone for a TD.Why is this so difficult to understand?
i don't feel like taking a pay cut.Yet here you sit posting a message on a FF message board and not playing or a coach with all that insight and knowledge.what the hell was he doing?
Probably true.And Roethlisberger would've had a little more than a minute and 3 timeouts left on the clock.True, but the fact remains, if he cuts back he's gone for a TD.Why is this so difficult to understand?
actually, this is completely wrong...if harper cuts to the outside it wouldn't have mattered what big ben did.i think on any play where the runner runs untouched through the line and gets to the second level, at some point he is one move or one broken tackle away from taking it to the house, but most of the time, the defensive back either makes the tackle, or forces him to the sideline, or does something to slow the runner enough to allow other defenders to make the play. so while harper may have been one cutback away from a TD, presenting your argument in such a way that you're basically saying "all he had to do was cut back and it's a TD" take away from the spectacular heads-up defensive play made by Roethlisberger.

no, one play doesn't necessarily have anything to do with another. harper is corner back and is much faster than big ben...instead of trying to make one move and out run him, he tried to get cute and twist up a QB. now this isn't to say ben didn't make a nice play based on the moves harper made, it's just that harper should never given ben the opportunity to make a play. while every situation is obviously different, my point was more a general comment on giving credit to someone for a good play vs blaming someone for a bad play. instead of talking about what harper didn't do, talk about what roethlisberger did do. and what roethlisberger did do, was to somehow take down a guy who was obviously much faster than him, and make the tackle that saved the season. i am not a steelers fan although i have the utmost respect for the Berger and i wish you could just give the guy some credit for crying out loud. Peyton Manning wouldn't have made that tackle. He would've been in Bettis' face yelling at him and calling him out before the play was even over. But i guess there are already 75 other threads devoted to that subject
if you wanna make thread dedicated to riding big ben, be my guest.while every situation is obviously different, my point was more a general comment on giving credit to someone for a good play vs blaming someone for a bad play. instead of talking about what harper didn't do, talk about what roethlisberger did do. and what roethlisberger did do, was to somehow take down a guy who was obviously much faster than him, and make the tackle that saved the season. i am not a steelers fan although i have the utmost respect for the Berger and i wish you could just give the guy some credit for crying out loud.

Who cares? The Steelers dominated the entire game. If the referee's called a fair game the score would have been Pittsburgh 35 Indianapolis 10. And I was rooting for Indy! They were OWNED!!what the hell was he doing?
As far as I'm concerned, she can rot in the slammer.
Man, that is just wrong. He definitely would have scored had he took it down the sideline. He even had 3 or 4 Colts with him as blockers.
don't quote me as saying that.
that was bigliebdogg slurping big ben. 
Exactly, dont fault Harper. There were at least 3 other Colts running with him that could have blocked both Bens. The worst of which was #21, he was 5 yards in front of Harper and just ran by Roethlisberger. I fault him way more than Harper. #21 must have been thinking about his celebration dance, I would have busted his chops if I were Dungy (or Harper).
But no griping from me. Would hate to see Bettis go out like that.
If you watch the play, Harper made a poor decision. What is to argue about that? If he had stayed outside, he very possibly could have STOLEN a game from the Steelers that the Colts had no business winning.
You guys are slipping
