3 seconds left in the game & i agree with you but a 67 yard field goal is stretching it + a run back would of been possible had he missed it. Pitts looked like crap at the end of the game just like they did in the SB.
Did you see how far these guys were kicking the ball? It was worth trying for sure...a mistake.
I have no problem with no FG attempt at the end of the game. Of course it shouldn't have come down to that. They were in position to actually have a shot at a decent attempt. And then they blew it. The game was there for the taking after that horrendous 2nd quarter and they just couldn't get it done.

Was it really that many yards....I didn't think it was.
Those are the breaks. Sometimes other teams injuries and bad luck help you in the playoffs, sometimes your injuries and bad luck help the other team. The Steelers have had more than their share of good luck so they can't be too disappointed.
Good game, Tebow and Roethlesberger played well.
You cant say pitts didnt have a chance at winning the game. A field goal atempt should of been tried. Im pulling for denver to win next week in new england even though it wont most likely happen. Denver played a good & surprising game today. Tebow blew one of the best defenses in the nfl away. I give the holy roller props for that. Giving someone credit where credit is due is only fair. The field goal attempt would of been 67 yards. His range is maybe a max of 55 yards.
Thx for the props. I and most of the media world was not so sure Tebow had another good game left in him... much less against a team that is about as dangerous in the playoffs and any out there.
It WAS a good game by Ben and Tebow. Overtime game. The rest of the games this weekend went for 22+ points and this one came down to the first play in OT.
Even had the Broncos lost this game... which as you say, they were a field goal kick away from a loss... I think the Pittsburgh Steelers and the rest of the league would have seen what the Broncos can do when they play well.
Throw out those three losses against the Pats, Bills, and Chiefs and let's see what the Broncos can do. Pats, Ravens/Houston, then the winner of the NFC... looks insurmountable but you gotta give it your best shot.

Oh yeah. The shoulda-coulda-wouldas. Welcome back to earth. Had Ben's backward lateral not been called an incomplete "pass", the Broncos would have won by 21 and the game would have been as boring as the other three wildcard games this weekend.

No. Hitting a receiver at or below the knee is not nice. That might be how Ben got his stick busted... like Decker.

Waa. Not like Denver didn't earn anything in the win. Oh, and btw, the ball was on the 49, so the field goal would have been a 66 yarder... and very easy to block.

Well, if that was one of the best defenses in the NFL I'd hate to see the worst. That was A TERRIBLE defensive game by Pittsburgh.
Who is that? Harrison? Nice cheap shot on Decker. Injured him too.
Oh Tebow touchdown. There ya go.

Your team definitely didn't play a totally clean game, so don't point any fingers. I saw at least a dozen plays where your OL and receivers held but no call. Just be happy you get to play again next week. Tebow looked much better today.
Pittsburghs defense today played terrible but they were ranked as one of the best in the nfl. Tebow executed a good 2nd, 3rd & 4th qtr. I just dont want to hear that god helped him play good today.
