Since I don't have ESPN, I have to "watch" the Steelers-Jaguars game via NFL.com - GameCenter : Game Stats--although MSNBC Sports Scoreboard (updated every 30 seconds) is excellent too, it just doesn't have the nifty little football field graphic showing the to-and-fro of the drive.
The Pats and the Eagles both won today, both standing tall at 11-1. Pittsburgh has to beat the Jaguars to stay up with them. Unfortunately, Pittsburgh is 2-6 at Jacksonville. Eeek.
At least the Steelers kept the Jags to a field goal on the last drive of the third quarter, maintaining a one point edge going into the fourth.
C'mon Iron Men. Do it for me, baby!
UPDATE
(7:41 4thQtr) Why is this the third sack of the game against the Steelers? Huh? Answer me that! There is to be no more sacking of Roethlisberger! And I mean it!
And why does Roethlisberger have 37% of the rushing yards! The quarterback for pity's sake!
UPDATE
(4:54 4thQtr) Yes! Yes, Mr. Haggans of the Steel Men! Return the favor of the sack! Reduce the sack-deficit!
UPDATE
(3:28 4thQtr) Okay, Steelers defense; or should I say, Steelers Girliemen? It's time to show up on the field. What's with this letting the Jags just walk up the dadgum field? And give them freebie yards on penalties to boot?
Aaaarrgh!!
UPDATE
(2:30 4thQtr) Yeah, you'd better take a timeout and get your heads out yer arses!
UPDATE
(2:00 4thQtr) Sheesh. Another field goal? Well, at least it's only a two-point deficit. Just get within field goal range--oh, and make the dang field goal--and that's all ya need. 'Course, a touchdown and PA would be much better. You got two mintues. Go.
UPDATE
(1:07 4thQtr) Dayum! What a nice drive, Mr. Roethlisberger. Keep it up. Them there twelve, eighteen and ten yard passes shore do satisfy!
UPDATE
(0:23 4thQtr) And a clock-draining third down field goal helps. Now keep that one point lead, dang you!
UPDATE
(0:04 4thQtr) Jags at Steelers 42. Oh, sweet petunias! Hang tough, Steelers!
. . . And the 60-yard FGA is no good, wide right.
STEELERS DO IT AGAIN!!!
Still up there with the Pats and Eagles. And still . . . the best dang winning streak in the NFL this season!
Next week, Jets at Pittsburgh. It's on CBS, so I may actually get to watch it!
