Should be Steelers, not Steeler's.

Anyway, does anybody else think Coach Cameron actually has a prayer of retaining his job next year?

I watched the game, didn't feel much love for the Dolphins though. Mostly I felt embarrassed for the Steelers, who I just can't get a read on. They've won some killer tough games, both at home and on the road, but they've also dropped games that shouldn't have even been close (Jets, Broncos). It seems like when they're up for a game, they're a great team, but when they're not fired up they make all sorts of stupid mental mistakes and other costly errors. They also don't seem to improve much on their weak areas from week to week. They've had poor special teams coverage (except last night), relatively poor play from their secondary, and poor pass blocking by the offensive line almost all season, and yet it doesn't seem like they've done much to address those issues other than telling people to play better. Most of these things, I think, come down to coaching.

I like Tomlin, and I think he's got potential, but at times his lack of experience just seems to shine through. I've really questioned his play calling at times. For example, at the end of the game, all he had to do was run Willie Parker up the middle three times and kick the damn field goal. What did he do? Pass (almost intercepted), Run (yay!), and Pass (QB almost sacked for a ten yard loss). Why are you calling pass plays, Mike Tomlin? It just didn't make sense. Even if it was his offensive coordinator calling those plays, Tomlin should have over-rode those calls. It's just stupid football. Pittsburgh's defense dominated all night - 3 points was good enough, there was absolutely no need to go for the touchdown at that point.

You know Tony was just dying to toke up the whole time.

It is easy to buy small plaster models of what you think life is like.

The punt that landed in the muck and, without a bounce or tumble or roll simply planted itself as if on a tee for a kickoff.  That was the best indicator all night as to the field conditions

That was beautiful. And the players just kind of standing around waiting for it to roll one way or the other and... nada. I'll never see that one again as long as I live.

How many fucking times did he mention Williams' pot use history?  About as many times as there were raindrops during the game.  

That was gratuitous. I never thought I'd hear the term "religious experience" used by a pro-sportscaster on a major network when discussing marijuana use (think of the children). Honestly, some of the announcing they did would be appropriate for color commentary during a 67-3 blowout rather than an exciting mud battle royale where the fans are glued to their seats watching the action.

You bring up an interesting point about indoor arenas. Why not bring local color and climate into the game as a factor? What is the point of playing in cities across the country if you can't experience the local flavor? I think domes are a bad idea in a sport that seldom calls games off for poor weather conditions. It is meant to be played in any kind of weather, not just 72 degrees in an A/C cooled indoor artificial environment. Keep it that way.

I know I will get killed for this next time I return to the Keystone State, but I was kind of almost hoping for an ending like The Play where the Dolphins would do some crazy shit to get it down the field and into the end zone. Possibly with the ball coming loose on multiple occasions. I think that would have been a fitting end to such a quirky, crazy game. I don't think I took a single breath between the snap on that final play and when the last attempt to the ball off failed.

Great Game.
