why? dude has built a phenomenal defense throughout the years. always in the top five of defensive rankings. also, won two super bowls because of it and we're maybe a mendenhall fumble away from another one. a spot in canton is definitely warranted

He is in the HOF as a player

1st for consecutive starts as a corner
8th all time for INT's

Steelers have struggled every road game against bad teams like Indy, Kansas City, etc.

They're so injured. I don't understand them being 8 1/2 point favorites.

They won't score more than 16 points so Denver just needs 10.

Three blowouts already...it's going to be a nailbiter for the viewing audience.
I'll bet you it's over 10 point victory for the steelers

Simply because he is a defensive coordinator, and not a head coach. When he was a head coach, he did absolutely nothing.

I feel like that was just a loophole for him to get in.

I'm heading out though. Going over a relatives house to watch it.

Final thought:

Tebow's season isn't going to end like this. Three losses and a bomb out in the playoffs. He's too much of a winner. Playing against a popular team like the Steelers, huge stage, he's going to surprise a lot of people and play well and make it an entertaining game.

They're not going to make it easy and come out and roll right through. If they get up by seven they won't score again and leave it a one possession game so that Tebow has a chance at the end.

Steelers will have to survive that late Tebow magic.

Great game for the casual fan. Rough for the Steeler Nation.

This is how we roll. Either upset or lucky escape.

LeBeau absolutely deserves his spot in the HOF. But that is a debate for another day. Here we go, Steelers, here we go....

Yeah, he's not widely considered a top 10 corner of all time or anything :rolleyes:

A trend in all 3 wild card games this weekend, first team to score has lost.

Lol, kickoff hits the crossbar and bounces right out to the 20. That wouldn't happen if he tried it 100 more times at least.

Think it will be a special day with the opening kickoff doing that.
