And good luck filling all your Squeller needs with a draft with all those old guys… you should sign Favre as your backup. If the Steelers don’t win this year mark my words… 5 years before they are a contender.

Agreed. Kudos to you BmoreDave… that took gusto. Personally, I am not certain I would be able to have done the same happened the alternative outcome of the game played out. You are a true fan of the game amongst a city full of obnoxious over-zealous die hards who fail to recognize the obvious victor in this rivalry. I do concede that had we lost the game, I would be rooting the Dirtbirds all the way to lombardi with a purple shirt on. Go Stees’!!!!!!!

P.S.: A Pittsburgh-Baltimore household has to be one hell of a struggle. Hats off to you both!

Plus, when the Steelers win #7, she might be so happy you get lucky! Everybody wins!

Actually, Bob, it took a big man to come here after your team’s embarrassing performance. So for that, you’ve earned my respect. I still wish nothing but failure and misery upon your obnoxious team but you are a credit to NFL fans everwhere.

I’d be remiss if I went into hiding without first congratulating you guys and wishing you well.

My gf is a longtime Steelers fan and as unbearable as she’ll be if the Burgh gets a 7th ring, I’m just not comfortable with Rex Ryan winning the whole thing. He’s damned obnoxious now, I can’t imagine how he’d be with a ring. It just can’t happen.

Besides, I’d rather we got beat by the SB Champs than the losers of the AFC title game.

Still though …hate you SOBs.

“Here we go, Steelers, Here we go. Pittsburgh’s going to the superbowl!”

For those who say the holding call could have gone either way, here is the clip:

At the :19 mark, the mugging takes place. Allen cannot free himself from the guy even by pushing him as he back pedals. The replays were from the back, so you can’t see the Raven defender’s left hand holding Allen too clearly. But you don’t need slow motion replay to see it. Just watch the clip full speed around the :18 to :19 mark. I saw it as it took place and screamed “Holding” at the top of my lungs.

Clear holding. No question.

Good post as usual. Flacco is 100% Bert. You nailed it.
