Could have done with a TD there to be honest, the Steelers will be feeling a little bit more confident after stopping them there.

Looks like they may get something on this drive too which would be disappointing.

EDIT - Maybe not :P

Who to support? I'd rather play the Steelers at home than the Patriots away, but I'd rather Broncos home to Steelers home, but the Broncos have a far worse chance than the Steelers of beating NE.

Steelers are rattled.

Every year there is an upset, guessing this is this season's one.

Johnny_Fontane · 08-01-2012 11:20PM

only a 14 point game.....worst thing that could happen is half time.

Morrisseeee · 08-01-2012 11:20PM

Well that was some 2nd Q, we've obliterated all our demons on those bad 2nd Qs we had recently.
Grabs more beer, crisps & Celebrations, this is going to be interesting

denver march on
very surprised with this one
pats will hockey them tho

Paully D · 08-01-2012 11:23PM

Right, I'm going to call it:

The Steelers will come out in the 2nd half firing on all cylinders and pull a win out of the bag

Hopefully the complete opposite happens now :P

NE showed alot of holes in the last game between the two, if the Broncos can beat the Steelers they can beat the Patriots because the Steelers are a significantly better team overall.

Johnny_Fontane · 08-01-2012 11:29PM

and pats have home field advantage.....

I know sod-all about Ben Roethlisberger but for those who do,can you keep an eye to see if he is moving around les than usual? It seems his passing may have collapsed after he was hit and I am wondering if he is too worried about his ankle and it is affecting his playing.

kmart6 · 08-01-2012 11:29PM

Lads it's only half time...can't see it continuing like this, the Steelers secondary isn't going to let those plays in the second half...have a feeling they'll shut it down!

Both teams have each dominated a quarter...Steelers failed to capitalise....only a two score game....far from over!

Is there a certain reason you need to know compared to usual?!

It's been mentioned countless times by the commentators that he isn't his usual self movement wise in the pocket!

spiralism · 08-01-2012 11:31PM

So far so good but the steelers in the second half scare me, long way to go yet. If we score from the opening possession it would be a big deal though, would keep momentum with us from the offset. Still a long way to go as i said though, they could very easily come back.

wonderboysam · 08-01-2012 11:34PM

Let's go tebow! had to leave the pub early to come home and watch my darling tim

bmcc10 · 08-01-2012 11:36PM

Fair enough.Didnt hear it.I was jumping between the game and politice.ie during the first half. Committed to the game now

Should they replace him...especially as they will be in the same position with him in later games if they do manage to win?

kmart6 · 08-01-2012 11:42PM

No!

Johnny_Fontane · 08-01-2012 11:45PM

thats a turnover!!!! challenge flag!

Paully D · 08-01-2012 11:45PM

This has to be Denver ball, there's no way that was forward.

human 19 · 08-01-2012 11:46PM

didnt think that was controlled at all. how a fumble?

cruiserweight · 08-01-2012 11:46PM

Denver should get the ball and make it a 3 score game

mikemac1 · 08-01-2012 11:46PM

Play like this and no reason Denver can't win in Foxboro and the thirty first defense in the league

Jolly Red Giant · 08-01-2012 11:46PM

Big challange here - could put the Broncos out of reach.

Paully D · 08-01-2012 11:47PM

The officials over the last couple of nights have been so trigger happy on their whistles.

matthew8 · 08-01-2012 11:48PM

This is an outrage.

Turkish1 · 08-01-2012 11:48PM

Am I right in saying that audio isnt part of the reveiw process?

cruiserweight · 08-01-2012 11:49PM

Really bad officiating there, blowing up far to early

Paully D · 08-01-2012 11:49PM

Fucking disgraceful refereeing, absolute joke.

Between this and the early whistle in the Detroit game something should be done.

Benny Cake · 08-01-2012 11:50PM

Really poor from the officials, blowing the play dead cost Denver possession...

Morrisseeee · 08-01-2012 11:50PM

I..........don't................understand............:o
