The holding on that long bomb from Ben towards the end of the game was ridiculous. Should have been first and goal on the 1 for the Steelers.

Arenas has been terrible with play calling. With an O line that's questionable at best, he calls a sweep over right tackle from the 2? Without that, they only need a FG.

It coulda been a real game except for Rodger's scrambled brain :(
I'm super bummed on this.

It makes me respect how much of a difference A-Rodge actually makes. Eventually the Packers won't get so unlucky and will make an NFL statement.

hmmm maybe this game might be more interesting than thought
FG is good

Don't get too far ahead of yourself. Brady hasn't stepped on the field. He's due for an INT tonight though :)

Packer backup is playing fine, Collinsworth is ripping him but Collinsworth is one of those announcers who's wrong 80% of the time. Plus he has an annoying voice.

That steelers game was a bunch of crap. The defense played like shit, at least by steelers standards. They played pretty solid, but they got no pressure on sanchez, forced no turnovers, sacks, etc... I think lebeau played it really conservative without smith and polamalu.

The offense did the best they could while the receivers were getting mugged all game with no interference and holding calls being made. It should have been first and goal from the 1 for the steelers on the last drive after that blatant hold on wallace.

All in all, the jets D was overhyped, the offense didn't really do a whole lot (their only offensive TD drive was set up by a personal foul call).

Steelers really should have won that game. Doesn't really matter much though since all they have to do do win the division is beat carolina and cleveland.

I wish I knew who to blame for the Giants loss today. How do you give up 24 points in 7 minutes in pro ball? I cannot rationalize how badly the Giants gave up in the 4th Quarter. No containment on Vick, the secondary over ran their coverage, and once again our special teams fawking sucked. Dodge is one thing, but our special teams have been giving away extra yards ever punt and now a on side kick where no blue jersey was to be seen.

Absolutely horrible. Giants have out matched every team they played (except for the cults), yet they find a way to lose against themselves each and every time.

Damn...that Eagles/Giants game was a HOOT! I don't really like either team, so I was just enjoying watching football...and at the half, I couldn't have expected it to end like it did. What a great second half for Philly.
I'm not really a Michael Vick fan, and in fact, I think he should still be in prison for his crimes, but he's a fabulous athlete. My dislike for what he did can't diminish that.
I LOVE seeing "little Eli" with his "I'm gonna cry" look on his face...

Second half? How about 7 minutes in the 4th? Someone paid the fawking game off.
