    That's obvious, but Devil keeps telling us you HAVE to be able to run the ball to win the Super Bowl. The Steelers were not a good running team last year. The Steelers averaged under 3 yards a carry in the playoffs last year.

    Under/over on the number of times Feagles hits the scoreboard in Jerryland = 1 1/2

    Would love to see way over. Would be better if the Cowboy punter hits it.

    There are a handful of punters who would hit it all day. The Dallas defense would need to stop someone, though, to force the punt.

    I think a 45-yard spot after it is hit three times seems fair. Has it been metioned yet that the coverage teams will start to tire after 3-4 scoreboard hits?

    Jerry's scoreboard is still legal. It's on the NFL for making their requirements too small all of a sudden. It's Roger Goodell's bad, not Jerry's. Punishing a team because their punter keeps hitting the scoreboard is dumb.

    The season's clearly invalid if the Patriots don't go to the Super Bowl.

    Get it, got it, good.

    I wonder what the spec is for a wall to be away from the sideline or allowances for exposed sprinkler heads on the playing field.

    Many times in construction and architecture, common sense will arise.

    That is why any building of that size is littered with change orders during the construction process.

    Guess we better cancel it now, 'cause I have a hard time seeing them getting to February if the Bills are giving them fits.

    The last time they opened the season against the Bills, they lost 38-0. They then went on to win the Super Bowl. It's one game.

    Thank you. It wasn't even SteelersSportsJournalists.com at fault this time. They won it. Despite some peoples' sad little arguments, the NFL isn't going to ask for the trophy back. Learn to deal with it.

    They already have big problems on a rebuilt defense with the injury to Mayo. They might have problems running the ball. Taylor is due for his annual injury and so is Galloway. They could win nine games. If God is merciful.

    Monday night proved they still have a deal with Satan.

    I thought it expired last year. :(
