I was thinking it is technically possible for a missed XP to be returned for points, but that's not true in the NFL. So probably for gambling purposes, I dunno.

That's actually not true anymore with the new PAT rules. Still, in this case even if they returned for two, it doesn't affect the outcome of this game.

Sit your ass down Steve.
How does it feel Philip to know that God wanted your team to lose

It's much easier to objectively enjoy a Steelers win without Big Ben behind center.

What a loving stupid poo poo call to win the game. If you wanted to run, QB sneak from under center so you have enough time to call a timeout if you're short. Do a single-read pass play. A wildkat run offers you no advantage while also getting rid of any chance at a field goal as a backup plan.

I hate when bad coaching is rewarded.

It won the game and Tomlin plays to win

It is important to avoid confusion. This is the one that's okay to lick.

Even if you go for two and get picked or whatever, and take it all the way to the other end?

Yeah, I just looked it up. "The defensive team never can score on a try. As soon as defense gets possession or the kick is blocked or a touchdown is not scored, the try is over."

Weird they have the old ones posted. Still. It couldn't have changed the outcome of the game, so my theory remains gambling.

My goal in life is to witness a team score 4 points. A safety and a 2-point conversion recovered and returned.


I should get some better goals

Really? You haven't learned the pattern of losing terribly to a team you should beat then winning inexplicably against a team you have no business playing?

At least Vick had to apologize and do a bunch of public service. Ben missed 4 games then went to a Super Bowl.
Although, this is the reality:

Yeah I seriously can't believe how badly they forced the ball to him. It didn't help that the playcalling for most of the game was absurdly predictable, so the Steelers could just load the box on obvious run plays.

Aren't the refs supposed to keep time on the field and not count on the idiot stadium clock operator? Shouldn't there be 18 seconds left somewhere? I demand a kickoff tonight!

Also Rivers punching a bird I almost died.
