Seatle better be better, Coug, or Mike Holmgren is unemployed. He's been on borrowed time for at least a year. If they can't win the West, he deserves firing. I expect they will, but don't expect them to get past anyone in the playoffs. Their time was the last two years.
ice, c'mon, one stupid play (and boy, was that stupid) is not the difference in the game. The Patriots lost the ball twice in the red zone. Three turnovers all together. Brady was perfect in the fourth quarter. The defense was superb. Belichek outcoached the Jawman, again. It was a truly great game, like a playoff game, in only the third game of the season. Rothlisberger is really, really good. The Steelers are the Men of Steel, but they aren't Super yet.
