How are the Steelers not getting called for these facemasks?

By losing the game, of course.

Holy sh*t.
I am honestly shocked.

Shootouts or "win but..." this year. Never expected the defense to actually play well. Not that the Falcons are the Saints or Packers frightening but that offense is no joke, which got shutout. As well as 41 yards on 15 carries for Turner. A shocking defensive effort from my Giants.
The run game looked the best it has all year, with Jacobs really running like a man possessed.

Eli was needless to say, perfect as usual. Great throws all over the field, that TD pass to Manningham almost made me cry it was so beautiful LOL

Well...if our D can contain Rodgers enough (and our offense can keep him off the field to begin with) a win is certainly possible. I at least have hope now.

Guess I also need to pray the Niners can beat the Saints. Not only would I LOVE for defense to actually shut them down but playing the Niners in Frisco sounds 9000 times better than the Saints in the dome. That would truly be a nightmare. For right now I am just savoring this awesome win! Best game the team has played this entire season.

Hello!!!!! What game were you watching?? This one and last year......in the post season the Falcons are horrible! They didn't even get a chance for FG try....I mean really 2 points in a NFL playoff game!?

Beat by the worst team to ever make the playoffs led by the worst QB to ever start a playoff game. Even for all the sh*t I talk on the Steelers' secondary and coaching staff I didn't see that one coming. Tomlin has two AFC titles and a SB ring and he still gets outcoached almost every week, it's amazing. And Ben, you did it again, you led a comeback which you created the need for only to mismanage the clock and watch your O-line let a 3-man-rush get to you. There have been many times when I've been sickened by the play of this team but f**k... the f**king Broncos!

Time always wins.

Well one thing we all generally agree on is in the playoffs the better team wins......Denver out coached Pitt on that one play.....1st play on the 20yd line in OT and they throw the ball down the middle for 20-30 but turns into a TD...that was a great run by D Thomas.

1 outta 4 is pretty poor. At least I got the gmen one wrong.

Gotta admit, even though I wanted both teams to lose this is probably the better outcome regarding the Den/Pit game. All I can say is...go Pats.

Finally, damn I don't know whats in that water but all the refs have been extra sh*t in this postseason. Doesn't matter the game or team...just some fairly to very questionable calls. At least more so than usual.

Dig me...But don't...Bury me
I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive

The joy of seeing someone else's hometown team lose can never equal the joy of seeing your hometown team win.

Eli was great, but you can't call him perfect when he takes an intentional grounding penalty for a safety.

Eh well obviously not perfect, even Brees and Rodgers will miss a pass, but enough for me.
Besides one mistake, eh I can easily live with that. The defense and run game excite me more. That will be key to beating the Pack.

Oh dear...well the Cult of Tebow is going to be strangling the nation now. Yet again under 50% complete but 31.6 yards per completion?? Sounds like his receivers broke some huge plays. Still see a horribly awkward passer but ya know even I can say this game was at least better for Tebow. Supposedly some of the passes given up were the longest the Steelers have all year.

#1 defense? Gunna let Tebow torch you? Oh this...this is sad.
Credit to the Broncos defense, they are quite good but yeah that Steelers O line is a shameful sight. Going to a pass happy offense but keep these guys that can protect Ben for his life, (seriously)? Management may be the second dumbest out there besides the Jets.

Catcher, I was watching the game where the Giants defense held that team to 2 points. I know we look at Post season as a new year but it IS still the same Falcons team ya know. Matt Ryan, Julio, Roddy White, Gonz, Michael Turner. Those are some serious weapons and to be shutout on offense??? Sounds like a defensive effort to me.

You highlighted me saying the offense is no joke but cited 2 playoff games, don't work like that bro LOL

Can't negate the other 32 games! As for the not field goal attempt, I also saw them go on fourth down a few times, and fail, so they coulda went for points and chose not to. We also did have some 3rd down stops and clutch pressure, that shutout was all the Gmen and Eli picked the oopsy daises that gave em any points LOL

Oh! Also it was almost 50 degrees and surprisingly not too windy, (and Ryan played in Boston College anyway) so I dont wanna hear "outside" because I doubt that had much to do with it.

The Steelers lost because of the little college player #24 who played like a child on a giant field. I would have done better than him... Shocked

When anyone says anything like this, my usual response: OK, I'd like to see you on the field Wink

Also, from what I know Ike is a decent enough corner...can't let one blown coverage lead to what you said. Kind of sad the Steelers needed it to be in that position anyway!

There was more than one blown coverage, about 3 and 2 penalty. And a decent enough corner is not acceptable for a team like the Steelers. They need to be better with their offensive line and their coverage on the pass next year if they want to be another contender next year.
