Denver here we come

What a great game yesterday. I was an emotional roller coaster. Giddy one moment and nauseous the next. It kind of reminded me of the jets game last year except we actually deserved to win this one.

I went into the game without much optimism. I thought we had to play things close to the vest and then try to make a play to win the game late. Good thing I am not the coach because they did the exact opposite. Pass early and run late. And it worked almost to perfection. Big Ben looked great and I loved how aggressive our defense was. Those two late sacks were a thing of beauty and should have sealed the game. And for all those who think the Steelers should have simply kneeled the ball three times instead of handing it to the bus, they're are full of crap. Indy had all three timeouts left so they could have gotten the ball back with around a minute left and down by less than a touchdown. Going for the win was definitely the right call especially considering that the Bus hadn't fumbled since 2003.

I watched the press conferences after the game and my opinion of Tony Dungy was reaffirmed. He is a class act and I hope that he does win the Superbowl some day. I can't say the same for Peyton Manning. He was blaming his offensive line after the game. Try taking some responsibility for yourself. The Steelers outsmarted Manning and he was confused most of the game.

One final thing on the refs. I usually don't criticize them because it is one of the most difficult jobs but overturning Polamalu's interception was a joke. If that's what replay is for then we need to get rid of it. There were other questionable calls but that particular one was the worst I've seen this year.

Now we are on to Denver who was the beneficiary of poor refereeing in their own game. Jake Plummer doesn't really scare me and I like that we are on the road instead of at home. Could this really be the year that the Steelers get to the Superbowl? Only one more week and we will find out.
