The Steelers are probably going to have to play the Broncos in the first round.
Fuck.
This made me lol, even though it's sadly true and makes me depressed now that the Steelers have a 0% chance of making the Super Bowl :(
Also I think it's being overlooked but did anyone see the end of the Minnesota-Detroit game? You have the ball on the opponent's 1 yard line with 9 seconds left and down by 6 points, what do you do?
TAKE A SACK OF COURSE, ATTEMPTING TO RUN THE BALL 1 YARD HAS A MUCH SMALLER CHANCE OF SUCCESS!
EDIT: Also yeah it sucks, Jeff Triplette completely blew that call with Brady, but that's the disadvantage of not being able to see instant replay on penalties. If you watch the first clip of the play (at regular speed) it looks like a much more vicious hit than it really was. We all know it wasn't because we can see the slow motion, close up camera angle, but the refs didn't have that luxury. They had to make a call based on what they saw, and they made one. It was wrong, but I think this should, at the very least, be a compelling argument for allowing coaches to challenge called penalties.
