1)The Good-A win is always a good thing. There was plenty of good stuff in this victory. The D's 3 sacks of Green Bay QB Matt Flynn, the pick-six by CB Cortez Allen, and, of course, the fake punt by Mat McBriar with the 30-yard 1st down pass to backup TE David Paulson. All good stuff, indeed.
2)The Bad-NFL officials. In a season full of terrible calls by the zebras, the call on the blocked field goal and the "illegal batting" call on Steelers DE Ziggy Hood, giving the Packers a first and goal that led to a touchdown, was horrible. It's high time the league hold these officials accountable for their ridiculous calls. Honorable mention goes to S Ryan Clark on the same play. DE Cam Heyward got a hand on the Green Bay field goal attempt, blocking the kick. Clark recovered and, in another ridiculous move, tried to lateral the ball to CB William Gay. Why? Why? Why?
3)The Ugly-At one point in the 4th quarter, the defense surrendered 10 unanswered points to the Pack. Kudos to the old guard, for pulling the D's fat out of the fire. On 3rd and 8 from the Green Bay 10, Flynn was allowed to run for what seemed like a potential first down. S Troy Polamalu came from nowhere to strip the ball from Flynn's hands. DE Brett Keisel recovered to set up the Steelers winning touchdown and the 38-31 victory.
The Steelers close out the season at home on Sunday against the Cleveland Clowns who lost on Sunday. Cincy won and the Baltimorons lost. The Steelers need to win Sunday and get some more good will from around the NFL if they hope to make it to the postseason. Get ready for another wild weekend in the NFL. Let's Go Steelers!!!!!!
