Not so fast, the Steelers have been moving the ball very well over the last few minutes. I’d put money on the Steelers right now (but I won’t because I have none).

Man, that shovel pass play is so damn sweet.

The mo has turned around again.

If the Jets don’t get some sort of sustained drive on this possession I think they’re in trouble.

They’re in fieldgoal range, about two minutes left. Fuck. ☹

Wow, if Pittsburgh ends up losing, this will be the worst season ever by a 15-1 team. Even the historic choke of the 1998 Vikings was in the NFC Championship game, at least.

My playoff prediction of Colts over Vikings just may end up being true. 😉

I think we might have to get a heart defillibrator ready for **Airman**.

No good!! Ok Ben, let’s see what kind of two-minute offense you can run.

You going to stick with your score prediction, though? 🙂

Pick!

And yeah, Hal, I’m currently sticking with 73-70 Colts. 😉

And amazingly the Steelers find a way to fuck it up. Now they are playing like the Steelers I know. I was beginning to wonder who those 15-1 guys were. ☹

Whoops. You know, I almost didn’t watch this game because I thought it would be a blowout - I’m glad I did.

I wonder if any kicker has missed two potential game-winning field goals in the last two minutes of a playoff game.

If no one has, I wonder if Doug Brien will be the first.

If it’s any comfort to Steelers fans. Doug Bryan really, REALLY sucks. He was fired by the Vikings for missing to PATs in one game. The Field Goal is by no means a gimme.

The fuck was that? Risk an exchange just to run two seconds off the clock, lose a yard, and don’t even center the ball? Herm Edwards is a fucking jackass.

Yeah, he IS the worst playoff kicker in history.
