[93 coupe]

It's good to see "Big Ben" fumble the ball to lose the game! Haha :lol:

[331TwistedWedge]

i was glad to see them lose as well ...

It was a good game. I thought the Jags were going to blow it but they came through in the end.

I agree, close good game. Hey Steelers, welcome to the land of Bengals football, now go sit down on the couch and watch the Superbowl like us.:lol::lol:

[PaulFiveOh]

The Jags simply out played the steelers.

Don't tell Katmandu, but I was rooting for them only in the post season though.

Steelers Lost, so now I will watch postseason football.....

[Johnson1134]

[wild87stang]

I'm really anxious to see what the Patriots do. It would really suck to go 16-0 and then blow it in the playoffs.

Shhh!!! Don't say that! Brady will come through, I have confidence in him, cuz he's hot, and he can throw a football like no other. :lol:

I watched the Steelers lose last night at Dickmanns with Kevin, Amy, Jeff, Jenn, Gino, Little Beth, Big Beth, Ded Dad, and my Vinny's BFF Jason (you just HAD to make me cry!). We had a good time though, Amy & Gino were "awesome" playing cornhole. :tongue2: There was not a Steelers fan in that place though, everybody was rooting for Jacksonville.

Thanks guys, I had a great time last night, it was fun to hang out with all you. I even indulged in a couple of alcoholic beverages for a change.

Kevin, I'm so proud of you! ;)

[dedpedal]

Thanks for coming over Holly. Definately a good time. Now I remember where the box of wings came from.

Im sure he wont post anything. He only gloats when bengals lose.:rolleyes:

[93snake]

Was a good game... but dont be so sure that the PATS will win the superbowl, they arent there yet....

[wild87stang]

The pats have came back from 3 bad games to win!

[02mingryGT]

Should be two excellent games next week in the AFC. I am rooting for the Pats. Nothing like saying you saw history being made.

I'll have to disagree with you there. The Steelers dug a hole early and fought back to almost win the game. They beat the Jags in almost every category, from time of possesion, total yards, and first downs. They both scored 4 touchdowns and one field goal.

If they take the extra point instead of going for two twice, the game may have turned out different. Who knows. There is always next season I guess!

I enjoyed the game, even though the good team lost!

Another post for the Steeler hating peeps on the board....:cool1:

Steelers may lose, but always act with class
Associated Press
PITTSBURGH -- Dan Rooney walked down the row of lockers in the Pittsburgh Steelers' locker room, patting shoulders, whispering words of consolation, telling the team's distraught players there's always a next year.
It's called class, and Rooney and his organization exemplified it Saturday night, especially in the face of a gut-wrenching 31-29 loss to Jacksonville in the first round of the NFL playoffs.
"Mike did a great job," the Steelers' 75-year-old owner said of 35-year-old Mike Tomlin, who took over as head coach for Bill Cowher, who stepped down exactly a year ago after 15 seasons on the job. "We had the right game plan, we did the right things. We had a lot of guys hurt. We just came out on the wrong side."
The most notable thing the Steelers did right was staying in a game that looked over in the third quarter, when Jacksonville jumped ahead 28-10. The team from the small market with few name players was favored entering the game and played like it, forcing three first-half interceptions from Ben Roethlisberger and getting brilliant play from the mercurial Maurice Jones-Drew.
But Roethlisberger came back, the Jaguars started making mistakes and Pittsburgh got three fourth-quarter touchdowns to go up 29-28; the Steelers failed twice on 2-point conversion attempts, one from the 12-yard line after a penalty on what would have been a successful conversion. They finally lost after Jacksonville quarterback David Garrard's 32-yard run set up Josh Scobee's 25-yard field goal to win it.
The Steelers were underdogs for an obvious reason: injuries to star running back Willie Parker, defensive end Aaron Smith, and offensive tackles Marvel Smith and Max Starks. Safety Troy Polamalu was at less than full strength. That was enough to make the Jaguars a favorite over a team that is one of the league's most storied franchises, and a strong home team.
David was favored over Goliath, but had to work hard to advance to the next round.
Pittsburgh's sophisticated fans understood that, and so did Rooney.
"We did OK," he said after he finished consoling his players, one by one. "We did the best we could with what we had and we never quit. That counts for a lot."
Rooney wasn't the only one who understood that sometimes things go right and more often they go wrong. It was, after all, just two seasons ago that the Steelers won their fifth Super Bowl, doing it as a wild-card entry, getting hot when it counted the most. That year, they won their final four games just to get into the playoffs, then four more in the postseason.
"There are 31 teams that end the season unhappy," said linebacker James Farrior. "They just made a few more plays than we did. You stay disappointed for a while and then you start to get ready for next season. That's all we can do."
Even the fans seemed to understand.
A few grumbled as they were interviewed by local television as they exited Heinz Field. A few questioned why Tomlin tried a 2-point conversion twice: if he'd kicked both times and the game finished as it did, it would have been tied at 31 and headed for overtime.
Many people put it in the same perspective exhibited by Rooney and his son, team president Art Rooney II.
"It's tough to lose," the younger Rooney said. "It always is. But it's the way this league can be. A lot of teams wouldn't have come back the way we did."
True.
And a lot of teams wouldn't have lost with such class.
Almost all of them, in fact.

Nice article. I would have to say almost every NFL team wins or loses with class/dignity. It's the fans who don't.

The reason he went for two points the first time is because he was down by 5 with 10 minutes to play. He didn't know if he would get the ball back with enough time to go for a TD or not. The two points put him down by three. An extra point did no good requiring him to still score a TD. I thought a good call though after the penalty I may have kicked the extra point just because it was on the 12 yard line.
The second two point try was because he was up by 1 with what? 6 minutes to go. Another no brainer. Extra point still gets you beat by a field goal. A NFL coach does not have the luxury of looking into the future and making a call. He can only make the call with what he knows at the time. Anyone who says Mike Tomlin should have kicked the extra points because of what happened AFTER THE FACT is an idiot. He made the right calls at the time.
