I dont understand how you can not call the late hit out of bounds on tiki. Then to top it off they get the giants for roughing the passer on the steelers next drive. Very questionable, no way should that flag had been thrown. Which eventually set up the TD, huge swing right there. And jerome bettis is fat....
i have to give the Giants a lot of credit for staying in that game Eli did great maybe this is a glimpse of things to come
Finally saw Big Ben play, was not impressed, the only good throws he made were when he broke pocket and lobbed up lucky passes over teh defense. He made super slow decision despite the fact recievers were open all over the field.
Im disipointed they lost but still am glad they did good offensively. The tiki penalty really pissed me off.
I didn't see the whole game, but I was still impressed by Ben. He did lead the game winning drive and made the throws he needed to. I certainly would not mind seeing him play some more. Unfortunately, I really only saw Manning throw that last INT, which wasn't his fault. Hopefully I'll get a chance to watch Big Ben in the playoffs.
It wasn't one of Ben's better efforts even though he did finally break the 300 yard mark. Without Burress to balance Ward, he's not going to be able to throw the ball down the field that much. And I have a feeling you'll all get to see quite a bit of him in the playoffs.
I predict, one and done. Sorry but i think it will be san diego or indy, and i would not pick steelers in either game even at home.
If they get no one back healthy, I might agree with you, but if they get Burress, Staley, and Haggans back healthy, I think they'll go all the way. You forget that this is the same team that whipped New England & Philly at home. If they play at home throughout, they will do some damage.
What people don't know about Ben.... "What it (Offensive Pass Rankings) does not take into account is Roethlisberger's average gain (8.40) per attempt, which ranks second only to Peyton Manning (9.38) in the AFC. That is an indication Roethlisberger, who also has the AFC's second-best completion percentage (66.1), is not dinking and dunking the ball to his receivers."

I didn't realize that Dillon and Westbrook carried their teams... thanks for the heads up. All along I thought Brady and McNabb & Owens were the guys.... I guess we probably would have lost both....
