Your first statement doesn't meant crap, it doesn't matter where it happened. Not like an over thrown ball call or something. Whether he took a dive is your opinion, and we can agree to disagree.

Don't you think there are certain plays where more is allowed ? A tricky tack holding call which didn't effect the play with the game on the line, should not be called there. It's like calling pass interference on a Hail Mary.


Now on to championship Sunday... who do you like ? And why ?

The steelers have a big hardon for the Patriots. They have all their guys. This game is huge for Big Ben. It's huge for everyone. Can Butler cover Brown ? Can Hightower contain Bell ? Pittsburgh is battle tested for sure. They were within a horrible fumble of beating Denver last year , without all their guys, and a wounded Big Ben . Tomlin will have them ready to play. He makes strange decisions out there sometimes, but optimum effort will be put forth by the steelers. Will it be enough ?

The patriots are good. They showed how good by winning by 18 even though they played terrible. Hopefully it's out of their system. If they make the catches, and don't turn it over, they should prevail at home. They are built to win cold weather games. The 3 headed monster at running back gives them many directions to go. The receivers are a neat group of players.pittsburgh will have to cover better than they did in KC. There is the tom Brady factor . The GOAT will cement his place with a resounding win and another in the super Bowl LI. Tough to doubt TB 12 in a spot like this. Late game heroics are expected. This will be better football than we saw in the regular season for sure. Let the games begin

Look at his stats at home the last 4 games. Yes he can.

He has been outstanding. His assist on the Lynch tackle set up Butlers super bowl heroics. We even dumped chandler jones and Jaime Collins so that we can pay him. Patrick Chung will be key too
