      In the playoffs, they tend to "let them play" a lot more. Whether that's a good thing is a matter of opinion, but I think it's true in general. (Refs also tend to penalize the better teams less, period.) In this case, they called it.

      Pittsburgh 7-3 now. Seattle looked better than most expected at the start, but they're down now.

        That Roethlisberger touchdown was a joke. The replays clearly showed his ball-carrying hand never crossed the plane, so how could the ball have?

        On the other hand, though, I don't get Holmgren's two-minute time management at all, so I guess there's weirdness and unfairness on both sides of this game.

          Holmgren was once also the GM for the Seahawks, but they stripped him of his general management duties.

          Perhaps they should strip him of his clock management duties as well.

            Pittsburgh maximized their output in a very poor half of football. Seattle minimized what they got out of a dominating performance.

            If Pittsburgh gets 7 on the opening drive of the 2nd half, the game will be over.

              The Stones are just so freakin' overrated.

              The broadcast mix was an atrocity. Just so sad.

                It's Mick's "voice", Keith's guitar, and the snare drum.
                Ron Wood can be heard on "Satisfaction."

                At least with audio this bad, we know they're really playing live...

                  Gonna Twy???

                  The irony, though, of this song being played during the most commercial venue is just a little much for me.

                    Oh come on, you cant call that a push. He only touched. It was barely a contact at all.
                    It was enough to stop the defender's momentum toward the ball. You cant let the WR get away with that on a TD pass right in front of the ref.

                    That Roethlisberger touchdown was a joke. The replays clearly showed his ball-carrying hand never crossed the plane, so how could the ball have?
                    I initially thought he was stopped but the ball did break the plane of the endzone...just barely... My gripe is that the ref was marking him down short and then changed his mind when Roeth moved the ball into the endzone after he was down. The ref must have got blocked out after seeing the hit stopping Roeth and didn't see him "sneak" his arm across and just assumed the hit didn't stop him.

                      The Stones' decades of dedication to fiscal success and "which way is the wind blowing?" approach to their art has long since removed any legitimate sense of irony from "Satisfaction" IMO.
