5. If you didn't watch the 4th quarter you missed one of the most exciting games in years

back and forth momentum swings, lead changes, very unnecessary roughness, and yes a game winning 35 yard field goal by a rookie kicker in a rain game. It was pretty exciting, congrats to pittsburg

Those 2 idiots need to lose their jobs along with the defensive coaches who could not control them. There's no excuse. I don't care how many dirty hits the Steelers got away with or the bad calls or anything else. If the refs are all over you then behave your stupid butt and take your win. You can mouth off and go punch something later.

And the fans... don't even get me started on that.

Embarrassing.

To think I was lecturing people on another site earlier this week that the "same old Bungles" nonsense would not come into play this time. Shame on me.

or not at all. The hit was a legitimate penalty, no doubt about it. But the penalty on Jones, for trash talking a Steeler coach, was responding to that coach, who had no business being on the field at all, trash talking him. Either off setting penalties should have been given out or no penalty at all.

I can't think of anything that distracts from real life like sports in general and football in particular.

3. In my younger years I was a huge Vikings fan.

The only game I ever attended was when I was eight years old. The temp was about 0° with a windchill on -20°. The same conditions are expected for the playoff game against Seattle.

Brr.

My Panthers have a bye, so I'll watch these others to see what's in store.
