My hope is that the Steelers D makes Tebow

see God ...

My opinion? If the Steelers beat Denver, they probably won't get past the 2nd round. The Steelers always have had problems with beating New England, especially in the playoffs, and they haven't beaten Baltimore this year.

And I'm a Steelers person, for the record. (and living deep in enemy territory ... a.k.a. the Cleveland area)

Satan, his mommy, the sky from the ground, no protection, no open receivers, the locker room in the second half,

300+ yards and a little rushing too!

Of Course NE in NE is a horse of a different color.

Is a good start.

I think NE will hinge on Ben's ankle. I'm less worried about the Old Browns, er Ravens.

Still expect the Steelers to win. Lot more talent in black and gold.

Like pittsburg's lateral pass (read: fumble) that the refs blew dead? You know, the one that would have been an easy 3pts for Denver (maybe more) but ending up with the pittsburg driving 80yds for a touchdown?

Honestly, the game should have ended in 4 quaters with the Broncos still up by 10-14 pts.

Though I didn't watch the game from a Pittsburgh fan POV. (fans notice things that harm their team more often than others).

(I do try to be honest in my rooting for PGH).

I also thought I saw a helmet-to-chin hit on a PGH player that was missed (in my mind, because it wasn't Harrison doing it, but I have no proof ...)

Lots of holding not called going the other way which should have resulted in some passes coming back.

It's in the books now.

I don't think Pittsburgh got the worst of the officiating. As was pointed out, they got away with a few facemasks and the critical whistle on the lateral. I think the issue is that the officiating so far is even worse than usual The NFL has already said that TWO mistakes were made on an important play during the Detroit versus New Orleans game.
