they'll stop it but will be down to one play, a FG

I like Costas' halftime ideas. Don't know why you need all the complexity, just play another 10-15 minutes and whomever is ahead at the end wins.

Hey I was right! The whistle did blow and should have been the Saints ball.

I'd be ok with that. I like the drama of the game ending on the final play and I think the NFL does, too.

But that is the better way to go to keep it more like the regular game.

Big play but this is going to be a fun second half.

Buckle up.

Even with the rule change, whoever wins the coin flip has the odds to win the game, all they need is a TD.

Mendenhall getting hurt.

I'm just going to say that there's a chance that Redman is better suited for the playoffs because of the way he runs between the tackles and picks up hidden yards. If he can run hard and get the offensive line pumped up to block for him, they'll be more balanced. And then if they make it to the Super Bowl, they'll have the balanced offense with more ball control to go along with the defense. Unlikely but there's a chance.
The Ravens maybe. The Steelers have no running game(unless Redman/Moore have a breakout post season), a banged up QB, lost their starting center and have nowhere near the secondary to hang with GB/NO

Edit:Moore's out too, Forgot

Steelers secondary has played pretty well this year. I don't think they'll get torched for 40-50 points, probably around 31.

Steelers have the talent offensively to compete in a game like that, as they did in the Super Bowl last year.

Redman is the key. If he has a good postseason, they're going to be more like the Steelers of old where they lean on the run more and control the ball and Ben will not have to do quite as much.

If Ben was Healthy, Pouncey was healthy and you had a full stable of RBs like usual Id agree. I could be wrong, but I just dont see the Steelers competing right now with how banged up they are.

I do fully expect them to destroy Denver though
