I don’t get our Stillers sometimes… they can rack up 400+ yards of offense and _still_ lose to an expansion team, one of the worst in the league. Then, somehow, when it really counts, they can dust off their ‘A’ game and shut out the top-ranked NFC team and arguable Super Bowl contender. It’s inconsistency like this that keeps them on the B-list. Fortunately, they can still beat the Bungles every time. 🙂 ---

I don’t get it either. But hey, tonight is not the night to be a doubter. Tonight, I’m a believer! The defense played like the Steel Curtain of old, and the offense, well, let’s just say they didn’t beat the defense. So, with only a few minutes left in this humbling shutout of the Bucs, I think it’s time to say… WOOHOO! Bring 'em on, AFC! Super Bowl, here we come! 😃 ---

At the 2:00 warning, even I’ll risk jinxing it. Especially the way the defense is playing. Then again, it’s the 30th anniversary of the Immaculate Reception – how could we lose? (Don’t answer that!) CJ ---

_sigh_ We jinxed the shutout. Oh well. The party’s still on. All are invited. Even those loser Ravens and Browns fans. 😃 Here we go, Stillers, here we go! Oh, and the naked Jello-fest is off. Thank God. I think they knew about it and played well just to get me out of it. ---

Why do you think I didn’t post sooner? And now, if you’ll excuse me, this morning person is going to go and “snuggle all safe in her bed/While visions of playoff games dance in her head.” CJ ---

I wish Mularkey would quit going into conservative mode so early in these games. ---

How retarded is Sapp feeling right about now? Running his mouth all week, then skipping around in pregame like a 3rd grader after too many pixie stix – Then he gets DOMINATED by Alan Faneca all night long. Sapp’s #s for the night? ::drum roll:: [sub]one tackle.[/sub] Less talk from now on, Mr paper champ, less talk. Go Steelers!
