>>Yeah, but that was some serious football last night. I like Mike Tomlin's comment before the game "The team that is the most violent will win." Perhaps a good lesson for today, of all days. <s>

>>( and they could not have had a more worthy opponent last night that the Titans. That's pretty serious stuff too. This is going to be a good year, with Chicago and Green Bay back into being real teams though I admit Collingsworth had it right when he joked that if you want to see a lot of points watch the Bears-Packers game <g> )

>>The Browns won't embarrass themselves on the same level this year they did last year, but they just aren't in the same league as Steelers, Ravens, NE, Giants,Tenn or Philly. If we go 6-10 that will be considered a good year.

>The defending World Champions did an adequate job of making plays when necessary, just like last year. The Titans D looked tired in the 4th and if not for a rare fumble by Ward the game was done. Much to Ward's relief the coin toss went the Steelers way and the exhausted Titans D couldn't muster any pass rush to stop the Steelers march to the game winning figgie.

That is why I hate Sudden Death Ovetime.

The game should just add an extra Quater to the game, and play it out to the end. Whoever is ahead wins at that point.
