Stoney's He-Man Steeler Haters NFL Playoff Thread ... No Yinzers allowed

Be interested to hear from Doc Talk about how quickly you can competently administer a concussion test.

 

Fuck.
God Damn defense.

 

OK, now that just pissed me off. Damned holding call cost me the over.

 

Annnnnnd, as I typed that, the blocked kick safety just got me the over. Woo hoo!!!!

 

Fitting end to an ugly performance by the Steelers.

The offense will rightly be criticized, but the defense was awful aside from the one fumble.

 

Did Al Michaels make any veiled references after the safety? (I was out at the time).

Any... "this game isn't entirely over now but it may be for some."?

I LOVE those.

 

Cheers here, for sure ... Huge profit on the over in the last week.

 

Aside from the ugly result, I am very concerned by how quickly the Steelers put Roethlisberger and Miller back into the game. Both seemed to be showing signs of concussions, especially Miller. Both made ugly mistakes after returning, but the larger issue is whether or not the Steelers took a safe enough approach with them. I don't think either should have returned to that game. Maybe the medical folks did their jobs correctly, but it sure seemed odd.

 

Me and a buddy watching the game thought the same thing. After he threw the pick, they had plenty of shots of Roethlisberger on the sideline and he looked fine, but obviously that's not the determining factor here. Michaels and Collinsworth kept mentioning that "maybe he was groggy" without flat out coming out and saying that maybe he had gotten concussed and shouldn't be out there.
