AFC Championship: Baltimore Ratbirds at Pittsburgh Steelers

Sorry for coming across as a d*** in my last post. I was excited and just got back from the bars. I meant no disrespect to the Eagles or their season. That stinks things played out the way they did in your game. I would have loved an All-PA Super Bowl. Philly had a great run, plus their grit and fight in this game was very admirable. If you would have told me at halftime that Philly would have came back and took the lead at some point I probably would have slapped you.

Agreed on two defenders no matter what and trying to get physical with Fitz at the line of scrimmage. Make Boldin beat you. Make Breaston beat you. Just don't challenge the deceptively fast, 6'3" guy with leaping ability and some of the best hands in the league to beat you.

If what you're saying is true and power was taken away from Jim Johnson in a game of this magnitude that's rather puzzling. Fitz going nuts in the first half was clearly the difference in the game. If you're playing the "blame game" whoever this McDermott guy is certainly deserves his share for that reason.

Yeah, I wouldn't have said that if I were sober. I guess my sensitivity level for players that get hurt every single game was pretty low at the time. I do wish him the best though.

 

I hear ya. My ticket for the game fell through so I watched the game at this megabar type of place next to Heinz Field with something like 1,500 Steelers fans. Sadly, there was plenty cheering when players got hurt. Not everybody, but I guess you'll have that though. I wasn't cheering the injury with my comment just more or less scoffing at somebody made of glass like McGahee playing in this type of "man's game".
