The Steelers are playing out of their skins. Talk about two teams that HATE each other, look at the hits going in on the punt return TD. Some real venom on the field.

Venom indeed.. Did the punter swallow his tongue there ?

Al Michaels used the phrase "dental injury" and said Huber is now doubtful to return... I'd guess he lost a couple of teeth.

Yowzers. Replay showed it was one hell of a hit. Huber got lit up.

Why do these announcers constantly say the Steelers aren't doing well because of injuries. Stop making excuses

They have eleven guys on injured reserve, including their starting center. I despise the whole Pittsburgh franchise as much as any sensible man, but that's a BIG injury list. The loss of a center is a huge deal.

Yup, Bengals have an opportunity to take the second seed due to NE losing earlier today. Hopefully that's a big enough motivation for a comeback.

Except maybe for that sea of red thing. They are a proper football club in the NFL sense, however. Great fans.

Always hard to play/win there, even when they are sucky. Great history, been a long time since they've been ace.

How's that? Also opens up another line of inquiry, since I had a rare occurrence of a question for Chiefs fans.

Is Moyes's approach to football the soccer version of Martyball? Discuss. Redskins/Browns fans also welcome.

Let's watch the non-NFL types get totally lost in this question. (pats self on back)

Great question. Martyball wasn't flashy but we won. We just didn't win it all. Part of that is down to some bad luck. (3 missed FGs against the Colts at home in '96 in a sub zero game - the week after it was 40 degrees - no doubt we win).

Moyes never won anything. Marty won a lot. Lots of division titles. Just couldn't get to the big one.

Just gonna say this right now. No one wants to face the Chiefs in the playoffs. Denver can't be relishing the prospect of having to beat us 3 times. And the Pats and the Bengals would get it handed to them by the Chiefs right now IMO.

The Okoye references got me looking for YouTube highlights and I found this. Crying at this.

Christian Okoye vs. 1991 Colts defense

Welcome back to 1991 - Tecmo Super Bowl, the true Nigerian Nightmare in not very many bits. No one else may find this as funny as I do. You have been warned. If you have logged the hours I have into this game, this is the funniest thing in the world. It's like 20+ years roll away...
