Now that the seasons over, time to pick up where we left off. This teams taken huge strides the last 2 seasons and tonight made it even more clear that the Jets are the class of the AFC. Steelers got lucky they weren't completlely blown out tonight, and I'm convinced more than ever Jets are hands down the best team in the AFC without a doubt. Kickoff can't come soon enough
There is no class of either league. The league was one Jets drive away from having both sixth seeds meeting in the SB. It's pretty clear that even among the top teams, parity means the playoffs are virtually a roll of the dice. Get a run going, or have a couple really good days, and you win a title.
They were lucky to not get blown out because the Packers dominated the game and so did Aaron Rodgers. Roethelisberger is not very good in my opinion he is carried by his defense and he gets lucky plenty of times. He has thrown 4 picks in the past two games and did not really do much in either game to put his team in the position to win.
It wasn't Roethlisberger's shining moment, but give the Pack defense some credit for making the plays when they had to. The Packers are lucky the Steelers didn't come all the way back on the last drive to win it.
Next years Jet team won't look like this past season's Jet team. It will be pretty impressive if they can get back to the AFCCG 3 years running. As a realist, I just don't see that happening.
I don't understand how anyone can claim the Steelers were lucky. They could have quit after going down 21-3, but didn't. They kept working hard, fighting and clawing their way back. They overcame 3 TOs and still almost won. GB was unlucky to suffer addtional crucial injuries tonight, yet they hung tough and won. Kudos to HC McCarthy and to the Pack for not using excuses or quitting. They could have folded after Woodson and Driver went down and didn't. They could have folded after Jordy Nelson kept dropping passes and didn't. There were stupid mistakes on both sides, but I think both teams deserve kudos for overcoming those mistakes as well as they could. What shocked me is that with a patchwork OL, that was supposedly a weak link to begin with, Roethlisberger was only sacked one time and frequently had all night to find an open receiver. (I was hoping someone would knock him out of the game. I despise that mofo.) Their OL coach and those players deserve a world of credit for protecting Roethlisberger. GB can have a fearsome pass rush and the held them at bay, keeping the game close.
Steelers couldn't even play offense until Woodson was knocked out of the game. Then they had Collins,Shields, Driver get banged up to aid their cause. Phantom facemask on a punt leading to a td, and dropped perfect passes by the Pack including a 75yard td dropped to which the Steelers scored due to the resulting field position from. Hell on the Steelers first td the Pack had its 4th and 5th string corners on the field This game easily could of been a 3 or 4 score game, with Woodson and the drops being the most significant
Your right last yearit was 1st half this year it was the 2nd half next year in the Meadowlands it will be a complete win.
The Buffalo Bills went to 4 consecutive superbowls, of course they lost them all but thats because they are the bills. Define "realist."
We already made it twice, so the past is irrelevant. Just gotta make it this year,and the odds of that are the same as any other year. Hell our competition to get there is even worse than the last 2 years so our odds should be better
before the Pack lost their two starting DB's and WR they were up 21-3. I think it is pretty obvious the Steelers were able to get the game close because of those injuries, which had nothing to do with the Steelers own skill ability. ignorant post.
