If two Steeler Offensive linemen had not been injured in the first quarter It would have been a very different game.

Broncos went mostly with a 3 man rush and heavy secondary coverage against a limping Big Ben It worked mostly because Pouncy was out. But still, the Steelers scored 23 points.

On offense they had a couple of trick plays designed to fool Troy Polamalu. Have they used all their tricks? Do you think that The Broncos will score 29 points on the Pats? I don't, I think they will need 35 points or more to beat the Pats.

Tebow is beginning to irritate me with all of this "Miracle" stuff and I am tired of seeing him spit on the ground every time the other team has the ball. (too much attention on a guy sitting on the bench you think?) No, I think they are done next week. But then again, I and many others thought that Pittsburgh beating them was the surest bet this past weekend.
