Givens spent too much time watching game film of Reggie Wayne last week I think.

 

[RoarinSonoran]

Oh there's the jinx, "Givens has never lost a fumble".Bastage announcer.

 

[mojorizin]

Poop. The kind of drives that end games.

 

[KnowledgeReignsSupreme]

Right call on FG?J

yes.you don't score any points there and all the wind is taken out of your team.

Down 10 isn't much better than down 14 with this much time left. If you go for it and fail, huge field position advantage and chance of a defensive score anyway.

FGs are worth 4pts now?

I'm sorry... 11... I can't count.Down 11 isn't any better than down 14 in the 4th quarter. In the 2nd quarter, sure.

 

[bostonfred]

Seems like the Pats are laying it up here now that they're in field goal distance.

 

[Bojang0301]

I can't breathe.

 

[Bojang0301]

Damn

 

[mojorizin]

Huge tip there, Townsend. You just kept your mates in the game.

 

[Bojang0301]

Double Damn

 

[RoarinSonoran]

Wow, now that's confidence. They keep going to Givens even though he's been jinxed.

 

[bostonfred]

Looks like the Steelers needed that field goal. You always take the points. By the way, who are these people still voting for the Pats with the game in the fourth quarter. :rotflmao:

 

[Bojang0301]

Huge tip there, Townsend. You just kept your mates in the game.

I wish he would have caught it though.

 

[Dynasty]

It's time for us Patriots fans to get a little nervous.

Check.But I feel better knowing I have Brady instead of Roethlisberger in a tight game.

I feel a little better now. The Patriots defense has had some time to rest and the clock has been wound down a lot. Still, the Steelers have scored on every drive in the second half.

 

[BGP]

Its increasingly likely the Steelers win scenario will now need a recovered onside kick. Anyone have any data on onside kicks? NFL average success rate? Success rate for Cowher? Belichick?

OMG the Chunky Soup curse just got slapped on Ben Roethlisberger.

Around 40% for onside kicks that teams see coming. Surprise ones are recovered like 70% of the time. I was telling my buddy Pitt shoulda went for one after one of the last 2 times they scored. If they kicked that FG in combination with planning on an onside kick after, that would've been brilliant strategy.

 

[Bill]

unfortunately cowher can't win a big game.just the way it is.

I'd say that allowing that big kick return to the 40 hurt and showed one of the negatives of not going for it.

 

[Boxy Brown]

Nice pick Cowah

 

[Bojang0301]

Ouch thats it.

 

[Capella]

that should do it..

 

[dansav]

BBBBBBBBBBBIIIIIIIGGGGGGGGG BBBBEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNN

 

[KnowledgeReignsSupreme]

And now I'll even step in and say game over with that last INT.

 

[bostonfred]

Nice pick Cowah

:rotflmao:

 

[mojorizin]

 

[Bojang0301]

Oh #### he lost control!

 

[Brodie8307]

inconclusive.. it stands

 

[BGP]

I'm surpised they left Ben in there. He's killing you with turnovers.If Maddox played this entire game, I bet he at least doesn't throw an INT that goes for a TD.Looking at 4TDs vs 10INTs now if the call holds up.

 

[Joe Bryant]

INT stands.J

 

[The Commish]

That's just cruel!!!! Playin Buffett when it's 13 degrees and windy!

WOULD YOU SHUT UP! What do you know about QB's. Tim Couch, Jeff Garcia, Kosar and Testeverde were all great weren't they?

 

[Bojang0301]

Damn.

 

[mojorizin]

What a shame.

 

[KTM]

TY BEN!

 

[BGP]

Nice pick Cowah

:rotflmao:

Kellen Winslow is the best thing that ever happened to Butch Davis .

 

[bostonfred]

Who is the ref talking to on his headset? As they cut to him moving away from the video, he was saying "do you agree" to someone on his headset.

 

[Dynasty]

I didn't think there was one good camera angle on that INT. The cameras kept losing view of the ball.Two close replays- one went the Patriots way, the other went the Steelers way.

Looking back is easy there. Outside of injury (and you can argue the thumb maybe) I leave Roethlisberger there easily. This isn't fantasy football. J

Fear the soup.

The replay officials upstairs. They all talk to each other during the challenge, but I'm pretty sure the ref makes all the calls.

 

[Brodie8307]

Dillon stinks.

Ok, now you guys are crossing into stinky bait territory. I figure some Steeler fans will attack me after this loss.

If not for Big Ben, the Steelers would not even be in the AFC Chmpionship game.

Like I said, I bench him week 16 vs the Giants.

:rotflmao: Or maybe it was the cops, busting him for stealing people's Bud Light and replacing it with Miller Lite.

Nice throw by Brady on the move!
