I still can't forget Nick Harper's stupid decision to cut to the middle of the field and allow Roethlisberger to make the game saving tackle. I was watching the game with a house full of obnoxious Steeler fans who were in my face after Manning was sacked on 4th down and I told them it would be hilarious if the Steelers fumbled the ball and the Colts ran it back for a game winning touchdown. I couldn't believe it when it happened just as I had called it. When I saw Harper pulling away from the Steelers offensive lineman I was euphoric. I was picturing in my head this play being played back thousands of times over on NFL films for the next 20 years or so. Plus it was likely to be Bettis' final carry of his career. Life was good until Harper decided he was going to be Deion and make the return look even more incredible. Needless to say after their idiot liquered up kicker misses (same luck Steelers got against the Jets last year) the mood in the room changed 180 degrees. It was just like that cartoon of the Bills fans they have been showing on ESPN lately. Why can't the Steelers ever lose in heartbreaking fashion like the Cowboys and the Browns always seem to do. I have probably watched this play over 50 times now, each time hoping Harper runs it to the outside. And the reversed call on the Polamalu interception would have made the loss hurt even worse. I hate the lucky Steelers and I hate you Nick Harper!
