Re: Americas Game 2008 Stillers
Watched the last Super Bowl last night on the NFL Network. What an incredible game! Can't believe all the huge plays the players made! To have Ben come back from a 9 point turnaround and losing the lead late in the 4th quarter (which was very disgusting and disheartening, especially since the safety should have been a 15 yd 1st down). Ben simply went back to work with 2:37 left on the clock, evading rusher on 3 to 4 occasions during that final drive. What a great game!!!

Yeah, I watched a bit of of the game last night as well.
What struck me is how the Steelers couldn't score from inside the ten with 8 tries. The first set ended with a running into the holder penalty against the Cards that created a new set of downs. Despite that, on the second set, it ended with the Steelers trying a QB draw. Reed ended up kicking a FG.
Thank goodness they pulled this out. If they would have lost, two things come to mind:
1. How Tricky Dickie's D melted down towards the end of the game. This has created a bit of a blueprint for how teams can attach the D.
2. How Air Nut couldn't get it into the end zone from 10-yards out on 8 tries. Pathetic. The O line performance was putrid at best.
Now, I know they did what they had to do to win the game. I just wish they would win a few without me having to drink a case of Maalox so I can watch it.

My brother and I were talking about the show last night, definitely prepares us to start this season.
On the interception return:
Tomlin getting out of bed a couple days before to make the interception clip tape to show the defense how to block for an interception return was a little scary.
