Week 15 NFL Thread: Nobody cares anymore

I sincerely hope they prove me wrong. Ain't over yet.

As it is, they have given up 27 points to a team that hadn't scored a touchdown on its last 23 possessions entering the game.

 

Can't wait for the ensuing Steeler fan meltdown.

 

Roethlisberger with an incredibly stupid throw that may have cost his team the game. The one thing you can't do there is throw an interception.

I don't hate calling for a pass, but that assumes your veteran quarterback won't do something that foolish. Amazingly enough, the defense just bailed him out.

 

Big Ben is used to getting away with things he can't do.

Couldn't resist.

 

What a defensive second half by Pittsburgh. Hell, what a second half, period.

 

Ballgame.

Cake gets iced next week when the Pats beat the Jets.

 

It was an incredibly stupid play that gave the Broncos new life in a game the Steelers had won.

I will gladly admit to being wrong in thinking the defense would continue to suck in the second half as it had in the first half and much of this season.

I do think Osweiler's injury helped. More importantly, Butler actually made a rare, good in-game adjustment and started playing more aggressively. They also used Blake a lot less in the second half. The Steelers still gave up four consecutive touchdowns to a crappy offense, but that was still a hell of a defensive performance in the second half.

Steelers pull off a huge comeback to beat a damn good Broncos team and I get to see the new Star Wars movie. I'll certainly take that as a great day.

 

Really sounds like you had a great day.

 

Indeed. Just watching the highlights now. I'm guessing Pittsburgh center Cody Wallace gets a letter from the league office. Given that he also had a problem last week, he's got to be risking a suspension if he keeps taking cheap shots.
