I guess we will see another New England Superbowl......... I see the pats comming on top of this game with at least at 15 pt spread....... It dident really matter who won the NFC, whoever won the AFC would have become superbowl champs, quote me on that....... Dont get me wrong, i dont mind the Eagles but they dont stand a chance against the pats offence..................

And as far as Big Ben goes, he will be back next year with a little playoff experence under his belt.......

It was not all ben's fault other young players made mistakes like Polomalo was out of position 2 times amd both times they were burnt deep and they set up 2 touchdowns that is the difference in the game Steelers lost by 13. On the 4th and short play early in the game when Bettis Fumbled it appeared to me that Faneca messed up because he pulled and bettis ran right where he would have been. roethisberger cost the team 10 points but many players could have saved more than 10

OK Discman so since you know so much about football why don't you go put money on the PATS in Vegas and the only Reason you think that the PAts will beat the Eagles by 15 is because your precious Squeelers got spanked!!! This will be a great game that will have the final score something like 27-24 either way!!! QOUTE ME ON THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, I'd be glad to quote you on that, why don't you put your money where your big mouth is... Better yet, don't run your trap and let them do what they can do on the field. Nevermind, you can't do that, so I'll stop asking, hope you enjoy seeing Philly get beat by the best team from the best conference in the NFL...

Roethlisberger did not choke....he just played about the same that he had been for the latter part of the season. He had more INT's than TD's in his last 4 games against the Jets (twice), Giants and Ravens. What do you think would happen when he faced the Pats in a championship game. Abra Cadabra he'll back in mid season form!

He will be a very good QB for years to come, but he was way over-hyped this year.

I'll take a 15 game winning streak if he is so terrible. W's are W's, that's all the matter in the NFL, he didn't come through for the first time in 27 starts, crucify him and send him packing back to Ohio... He will be just as good as Brady one day, put Ryan Leif in the Patriots system, he will be just as successful. 1 year in, 16-2, i'll take that, build on it, and get ready to have a long lasting successful career...

abpk302934,

Polamalu was not outta postion, he was doing what he was taught to do, he jumps routes all the time and is encouraged to do so, had he not jumped the routes, the plays still would have gone for long gains. Damned if he did, damned if he didn't.
