That was not a dirty play. He lead with his shoulder and that was a good no call.

It would be an absolute shame if the guy is suspended from the Super Bowl because of that play.
Was the hit that broke Boldin's jaw illegal?

I do not want to get caught up into too much hyperbole, but man what an easy path to the Super Bowl for the Steelers.

They beat the rookie led (impressive though to a degree) Ravens, and the 8-8 Chargers to get to the Super Bowl.

Not the Steelers fault they did their part, but man what an easy path as far as I am concerned.

LOL. How do you lead with the shoulders and have your helmet hit first?

Because, McGahee put his head forward, causing the Helmet to Helmet .... While Ryan Clark was leaning with his Shoulder Sideways :rolleyes: I guess what does Phill Simms know?

Look at the replay again, he led with his shoulder.

That was a great play but unfortunately, in the NFL there is always a risk of injury.

I don't think their helmets even touched.

Did you just see the side view of the hit??? He clearly led with his helmet.

If he's moving, why is it taking so long. He break something?

You guys obviously never played the game. He went in with his shoulder to chest, at the last minute the RB dipped his head down which caused the helmet collision.

is it just me or is it kinda tasteless to still be pumping music into the stadium?

Yes indeed. Titans really blew their chances big time. EVen worse than Cowboys did last year.

Lucky, Lucky, Lucky.

Course, they made it to the playoffs, and once you're in, anything goes.

They very possibly have faced the two easiest opponents in the history of the Superbowl the last two times they've played for it.

it may not be illegal but if you think their helmets didn't touch you're blind.

You can't go in with your shoulder, and then turn your head outward at that speed.
