WOW!

[Slipknot]

Look at those Steelers
I like it
Peyton is gonna want one of those crying towels

I hope their defense can hold Indy,


maybe the Pats took the wrong route

[Hooper]

Slip-

I feel the same way! All morning I've felt crumby 'cuz of the beating the Pats took last night....

But watching the Colts lose at home, heck, that would brighten my day a bit :-)

[fishsmith]

I'm NO Steelers fan, but I'll root for an outdoor team over a dome team any day of the week.
Back to back, going for it on 4th down and getting it. Deflating the Colts even more. Mrs. Harper must be a closet Steelers fan

That was close, came down to the last minute

I was in the car when they called back the touchdown on that INT, what another bogus call(earlier the non call on pass interference by indy was another pathetic ref move this weekend) I watched the rest on a TV at BJ's. I thought Bettis blew after the defense came up huge for Pittsburgh, but it turns out Vandershank blew it

Congrats Vectorfisher on your teams' win today.
Shanahan's Broncos will be ready for you in Denver next week good luck

Yep it will take our A++ game to win in Denver

The first #6 seed team to make it to the AFC championship game
sounds like what the pats went thru the year we had to go up against the bears

[Hooper]

Should be a great AFC Championship game though, two gritty, down and dirty outdoor teams. It will be fun to watch.

And yeah, I was happy to see Peyton's Colts go down again. Everyone in the world had them booked in Detroit, I'm glad to see the result. Although, I feel badly for Tiny Dungy who is truly a great man, I can't help it, I love to see that pout on Manning's face each January!

What a choke by the colts.

It is funny...they said that if they got home field advantage it would be different and with the Pats out of the way there was no stopping the indy express.....HA HA HA HA !!!

It just goes to show that how overrated Indy is they cant win a big game during the playoffs plain and simple..

They did not adjust to the blitzing by the steelers....you got to hand it to Pitt they played a great game. I woulder if Indy made adjustments what would Pitt do?? This game looked just like every game that Indy lost in the playoffs, not enough run and too much pass....maybe it is Manning who is the problem.

HA HA HA HA HA !!!!

I was ready to hang up the football for the season but because Indy is out I will be supporting the Steelers as I would like to see Bettis, ward and Palomalu get a ring.....although Carolina looks very tough!!

Gonna be a good superbowl this year!

How is it the the Colts choked by loosing ,
But the Pats the way they played with Brady throwing a few ints, Adam missing a field goal, Brown muffing a punt, fumbles made in the game and no one says they choked ???

because everyone is due a bad game or 2 but Payten (SP) has made a career of it. In the end Denver beat the Patriots in a good game were they outplayed the patriots in 2 phases of the game. while Pitsburg dismantled the Colts almost from the kickoff and it was only close because of luck.

I have to disagree! The Pats straight up imploded Saturday that was chokefest 06 right there. I see the NFL made a statement today about that wonderful call the ref made yesterday, can you imagine if the Colts went on to win that game? I think the ref's would need kevlar vests on the field every game.

Bingo

And I'm a HUGE Pats fan and was one of the first to give VF grief in his "Steelers Gelling" thread.

Oh... umm... *ahem*
Congrats (begrudgingly) on your team's win, VF

I agree the Pats choked but for the pats to win they had to have a perfect game ON THE ROAD. The colts choked because they were at home and were HEAVY favorites at home. For a team to win on the road against the #1 seed is very tough to do (and the stats prove it)...so if a team fails to win as a #1 seed it is a choke. The pats and Indy are two different issues, the pats had a much higher chance of losing than the colts did.

Well said, Lurch

And let's look ahead to next year.... picture this, Colts v. Pats in the AFC Championship Game, who ya like? For that matter, Colts v. Anyone in the playoffs, who ya like??!!

The Colts are damaged goods, period, end of story. The Pats are the first dynasty of the next era, and it ain't over yet.
