Less than an hour and it’s on. The Steelers begin their march toward destiny. Miami won’t know what hit them when they get picked apart by Charlie Batch. ---

YES!!! How embarrassing must it be for Miami? The Steelers took the lead on a pass from a backup quarterback to the fourth wide receiver. 😃 ---

Well that muffed pass interference call is really going to end up fucking us. ---

Hines with the touchdown! Not bad for missing the whole preseason. ---

14-10 at the half. Not bad. Now they just need to stop the indomitable Wes Welker (!) and they’ll be 1-0 to start their historic defense of the Lombardi Trophy. ---

As much as I love our defense and our blitz schemes, LeBeau really has to tighten up our swiss cheese secondary, which was a problem so often last year. I hate playing from behind. ---

Well, that’s just great. Ike Taylor has one of the easiest picks in history right there in his hand, but his dick got in the way so he blew it. Great. So they score on the very next play. Double great. Oh, yeah, I’m just thrilled with that series. Dammit. ---

AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!! What is it with plays from the 1-yard line that makes people fumble the ball? Jesus, you’d think that I was watching peewee ball rather than professional football where they take 5 million snaps a year. :rolleyes: ---

Heath Miller, bitches! It’ll be challenged, but it was a hell of a play nonetheless. 1st and goal even if the touchdown doesn’t stand. ---

Boy, Nick Saban blew that one, didn’t he? Sometimes you just have to make the decision for yourself, Nick. Too little, too late. ---

What are you doing Nick? Why did you wait so long to throw that thing? It’s not like he was waiting to see the replay himself, he just stood there til the SPLIT second before the kick. He needs to take a lesson from Cowher’s “throw flags first, ask questions later” policy. 😃 ---

Did he Fish just get royally fucked on that play? If he threw the rag before the kick, how can they possibly deny them the challenge? ---

He didn’t throw it before the kick. He dicked around and dicked around and finally just blew his chance. ---

I don’t even really care who wins this game, but I hate seeing incompetent officiating. The zebras blew the touchdown call in the first place and then they “didn’t see” the challenge flag? The guys could referee wrestling. When can we ever get some stripes in the NFL that are under 80 years old?
