Thank God the Steelers staked out that big lead in the 1st half, because they seem intent on making a game out of it. Seriously, a pick? OK, now they’re getting the ball back. And wouldn’t you know it, Randle-El fumbles it out of bounds. Dur. Close these guys out, Pittsburgh. ---

I don’t consider that to be running into or roughing the punter. If the penalty was “touching the punter” or “grazing the punter”, I’d agree with you. But there wasn’t any roughing, no potentially injuring contact, and nothing flagrant at all. It seems to me that it was ticky tack. ---

Hey **LOUNE** , who do you want in the super bowl? Sanchez needs to relax on all of the plays and not just a few. I must admit that I hate to see Greene not suck in the postseason since he was a terrible fantasy player for me. I just want Ed Hochuli to ref. They make special sized ref shirts just for him. ---

That third down pass was a horrible play call. ---

What in the fuck was up with that play calling? ETA: I see I’m not the only one wonder what in the fuck. ---

Aside from the Detroit Lions, I don’t give a shit. I’d rather the team from the NFC or NFC North specifically to win, but I really don’t care. ---

Fourth and Goal and stuffed like a turkey. Woo fucking HOO!!! 😃 ETA: My enthusiasm is tempered by the safety but still…great D! ---

Well, I was thinking bed, but now with that safety, it’s getting closer to being a game. ---

Unreal. This is getting ridiculous. A safety? The defense getting torched like this after that monster first half? Dammit. ---

It’s amazing how if it were one long bunch of time, things could have continued, yet you get quarters, periods, and halves to make adjustments. ---

3 timeouts apiece is pretty unheard of with 3 min left. These coaches really do respect each other. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/steelers-jets-playoff/568699.md?page=2) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/steelers-jets-playoff/568699.md?page=4)
