There are few, if not any things that I love more than watching the Steelers lose. Great game! I hope the Pats meet the same fate.

The Steelers are one of my least favorite teams, and I always root for an underdog, so I'm pretty happy about this.

TEEEEEEEEEBOOOOOOOOOW!

I thought it was a fair resolution since Tebow should've gotten the facemask call on his last drive in regulation

and now 2 of my top 4 teams are still in the playoffs(my third favorite got knocked out by the Saints, my Second favorite beat the Bengals)... so it's turning out good... Texans-49's for the Super Bowl!

PATS FTW!

I don't think cheating is allowed in the playoffs. Besides, Tebow is divinely inspired.

Good God, I pity you, butterhead. No one should suffer to be a Lions and a Texans fan. I'm kind of glad that my Oilers are dead. They tortured me so. I believe that Renfro's catch in the endzone that caused the '80s experiment with replay is my earliest memory of life. I was about two and a half.

And now it seems Wade is going to Tampa. Why won't that Son of a Bum realize that he just wasn't meant to be a head coach? Being a great Defensive Coordinator is an OK thing to be.

gopher- I am not a "Lion's fan" really, I just like them better than most other teams and therefore cheer for them when my team does bad... I am a true blue Dallas fan, always have, always will, followed by my Texans.

I actually have the curse of being a joint Bills and Lions fan. It's guaranteed heartbreak every year, usually twice.

Early in the season, a Buffalo psychiatrist ran an ad that said, "You know the Bills will let you down eventually. Schedule a December appointment today."

And I also like the Texans.

Sorry about my Bills delivering your Oilers one of their worst moments, gopher.

Just when it looked like Roethlisberger time, we got Tebow time once again -- wow! And Demarius Thomas, what a beast!!

I'm a Vikings fan, so you know I'll be on the couch right next to yours Sacred Digits. It's funny, like the Bills, we've got some of the greatest and worst NFL records, but we're still looking to end our run as bridesmaid. One of these years...

I hate Tebow. Since I hate the Gators.

This was the best game of the season :P

Yes, but I did get to see the Oilers do it to the Bills , what 2 weeks earlier?

Roethlisberger time? There weren't any inebriated potential rape victims on the field.

Unless we tear down the Metrodome and start playing January playoff games out doors as we were meant to, I don't think that the Vikes have to be worried about blowing any more Super Bowls. Levy and Grant are basically the same guy.

The Minnesota sob story for football is the one no one ever seems to tell.....Bernie Bierman hanging on about 4 years too long and blocking Bud Wilkinson, who never should have been forced to go to Oklahoma.

Yeah, Vikings were dominating at Metropolitan Stadium. What a way to squander a huge advantage. But don't give up on the Vikings just yet. I don't think we've fallen as far as our record would indicate, and in today's NFL, it's possible to turn things around quickly. If we've got our QB of the future in Ponder (looking decent) and we continue to make shrewd moves with our (high) draft picks and free agent acquisitions, we can get back in the hunt.

Regarding the Viking story, so true. And also, how close we were in the Conference with Atlanta in the 90's, when the 15-1 all time point-scoring leaders (up to that point) went down on a slew of injuries and the perfect kicker missing his only kick of the year in OT.

Unfortunately the rules have changed and you don't have reciprocity any more. Back in the Grant Era, the NFL made no stipulations as to what had to be provided. They simply stated that you had to provide what you used. The Vikings therefore provided no electricity for heaters. It was kind of sad listening to the Vikings bitch about there not being electric heaters under the turf at TCF.....even after the U gang pressed undergrads to work as slaves cleaning the snow for them and everything.

But look at the Dirty Birds this way, they spared you yet another humiliation in a warm weather Super Bowl and this one immortalized on The Simpsons.

Man, I remember getting a free ticket from the Vikes for that game that was rescheduled to Ford Field. They basically bribed people to be Viking fans for one day, and weren't above pleading. I had no issues with it, I like the Vikings alright, they're by far the most tolerable of the Lions' division rivals.

Which, with the bridesmaid thing, kind of reminds me of my uncle Lester. We often joked that you could tell what era each of my uncles grew up in because they all latched on to the big popular sports team du jour (I grew up in an area that was on the verge of like four fanbases). A couple were big Yankees fans, and another was a fan of the Dolphins because he was a teenager during their undefeated season. But my uncle Lester was not only a Vikings fan, but, as we later discovered, actually became one during a time when the Vikes were not very good. Why? Because he was sick of his brothers wholeheartedly bandwagoning and just picked a random team that wasn't good...in fact, he picked Minnesota in general and supported the Twins too, who also weren't very good at that time.

So I've always had some respect for the Vikings just because of the fact that he was my favorite uncle and his logic was pretty sound. He was also the only one that didn't stop being a fan during lean years (while the others wouldn't switch to other teams, they wouldn't wear gear or anything during the bad times).

If we didn't have all the injuries in the Atlanta Conference, I think we could have beaten the Broncos that year.

I'm actually from Massachusetts. I generally root for Mass teams, but when I got into football, the Vikings had the #1 scoring defense a few years in a row and were very exciting trying to get their offense to match their defense, so I picked them over the Patriots as my NFL team.

TEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) :P

PATS FTW, WERE GOING TO SUPERBOWL BABY!

Or get smooshed next week by a team with a real Defense.

nah, broncos defense is fine, its the offense of the pats thats so impressive

@SD......do you at least recognize that the Immaculate Reception earned the Steelers a trip to Miami to get crushed by the undefeated Dolphins? There are few things that irritate me more than listening to Pittsburghers getting all weepy over how the Immaculate Reception was somehow God ordaining their string of Super Bowls. It genuinely disgusts me the number of supposed Steelers fans who will literally argue with me that the Immaculate Reception happened during the first Super Bowl run.

The Steelers only happened because some idiots tried to start a rival league right after the Dolphins undefeated season and being idiots who did not actually know anything about football they opened their wallets to buy "recognizable" names gutting a Dolphins' team that was a team. The youth of the up and coming Steelers saved them from such raiding as the Cowboys, Redskins, Vikings, Raiders and Dolphins were the marque teams full of known stars and took the brunt of the poaching.

The Broncos are not the Ravens or the Texans.

but all 3 will get crushed under the might of Brady and the Pats!

We'll see.....the Ravens have flattened pretty much every good team that they have played this year. The Pats have not beat a genuinely good team this year. Denver is the only playoff team that they have beaten this year. The Ravens are 6-0 against playoff teams. The Ravens have a pretty amazing secondary, as a unit. And I'm not sure that the Pats can match up against the Texans linebacking corp.

@SD......do you at least recognize that the Immaculate Reception earned the Steelers a trip to Miami to get crushed by the undefeated Dolphins?

Er, I don't care for the Steelers, so, uh. Yeah. And that rival league was interesting...I mean, sure, they took Kiick and Csonka and Griese, and that screwed up the balance of power, but having one of your few successful franchises in Hawaii? And the whole Toronto Northmen/Memphis Southmen thing. It was a pretty interesting bunch of stuff. And Kiick was pretty much done by then anyway.

doesn't matter, were on a 9 game win streak and haven't lost a game in 10 weeks, every other team has lost at least one game over this period.

WERE THE BEST!
