Right below the Redskins on my list.

That hit on McGahee was vicious. Anybody think the NFL will throw down a fine?

no. the defender led with his shoulder but mcgahee turned his head the same way the defender did leading to the head to head nothing intentional. the sides of their heads hit. fines occur when the defender leads with his head and when that happens the forehead of the defender is used as a weapon. go watch flag football if you don't like hard hitting.

Calm down. I don't believe it was intentional either.

Update on ESPN says McGahee is in the hospital right now. Hope he recovers.

And I'm sure your hate for the Cowboys is as strong as mine is for the Steelers and Redskins. Unfortunately the number of Dallas fans on this board is pretty thin, so I don't get to see how game threads go down.

i didn't think the refs were that bad....there were two calls against both teams that i thought were terrible.........the roughing the kicker was a joke....granted.

but i still think the play they called back the reception by Holmes in the 1st qtr was at least a 1st and goal at the 1. he caught the ball, took at least two steps, demonstrated control of the ball and extended is arm out in an attempt to get over the goal line. the ball hit the ground and came out. everything in me says that was a catch. the sad part about is is had an elbow or knee touched before the ball.....it would have been ruled a catch.

by rule, it was an incompletion. A football move isn't falling to the ground.

Being all fired up from the game has subsided.

I have to give the Steelers respect of being one of the better defenses of all time.

The Ravens were not going to win that game. Not with Flacco at QB, and not as depleted as they were.

Agree... it's really amazing they made it as far as they did. As long as you don't turn it over and hand them the game, you should be able to beat the Ravens.

IMO Sweed dropping that TD was the only reason the Ravens were even in it. If Sweed caught that ball, then the Steelers would have blown it wide open.
