    No, you wouldn't. Nobody would. Unless we want to dredge up all those still photos and videotapes of the worst-officiated (beyond debate) game in modern NFL playoff history.

    Unless the Jets beat New England or hurt Brady, there is only a slim possibility of that happening.

    FWIW, they played a shootout in Pittsburgh a last season.

    Falls short on yards per attempt and attempts per TD pass.

    When's Matt Ryan going to win a playoff game?

    Brett Favre still has a Super Bowl ring. If (when?) Rodgers wins one of those, then maybe the ol' gunslinger will be dying inside. Until then, he's still got that on Rodgers.

    Historical comparisons are always flawed, but I will say that 300 yards passing under the rules and offensive schemes of 1966 equals about 700 yards passing in a game played today. Pretty much 90 percent of all pass defense techniques, not to mention hitting the quarterback techniques of 1966 are illegal today.
    Rodgers is an excellent quarterback who played a magnificent game. Bart Starr, he ain't, not yet anyway.

    From everything I have read on SportsJournalists.com, that must be a misprint. The quarterback of the Indianapolis Colts is a playoff choker who could not register a postseason game like that.

    Please. The whiners dredge them up every time an official has the gall to throw a flag on an opponent of the Steelers as it is.

    My hope is that the Steelers would wipe the floor with the Seahawns and finally shut their fans up. It is probably a foolish hope. The Steelers could win by 50 and they would probably still be whining about a holding call in the first quarter.

    Hell, even if the Seahawks won, it would be, "We should've beaten them twice!"

    On second thought, fuck 'em. Go Bears.

    Come on now, be fair. If that happens it will be a 9-9 team hosting.

    Just goes to show how idiotic the rating system is.
