False start by Flozell. Not a big surprise.... didn't he lead the league in false start penalties?

Wow! How 'bout that!!!

Two things....

1. If the Steelers would have started Batch they would have won in regulation. The only thing Dixon does better than Batch is run, and his running was a non-factor today.
2. If Tomlin would have punted instead of going for the 55 yd. FG at the end of the first half, the Falcons wouldn't have had time to get a FG on a long field and the Steelers would have won 9-6 in regulation.

And by the way, did I mention that Reed is a BUM! And he wants a raise? Don't think so.

Not the prettiest game, but a win. Team's defense will keep them in the game against anyone and the offense did just enough. Would have liked a bit better performance (that drive before Polamalu's interception was atrocious, with Dixon taking two sacks), but I'm not going to complain too much about the win. Better than the alternative, as two of our friends in the AFC North can attest to. Now I get to root for the Jets tomorrow...even if that bastard Justin is a fan of them...I hate that guy.

That's right.....the Steelers win a game.....the officials must've gave it to them. Forgot about that.

It's the most common excuse.

But it was clearly a hold. Those weren't bad calls.
