Apparenlty, winning is all that matters, except when the team is other than the patriots, or when the patriots lose (DEN).
Our 2005-2006 team was built on Brady. When he didn't have a great game in Denver, we lost.
PITT certainly doesn't depend on their sophomore QB. It depends on everyone, including a trick play or two (sounds like a team I know from a few years ago). That being said, the stats don't tell the story. Roth called his own number and gave up his own body when it counted, not on a QB screen, but on three runs for first downs.
There were three huge plays that Seattle didn't stop, one a running play, one a passing play (where Roth had 8 seconds to pass) and one a trick play.
IMHO, PITT was the better team. Seattle was pathetic, but just what I expected from an NFC team.
And the refs were their usual incompetent, or perhaps they were just paying back PITT for the rest of the playoffs.
And every team's fans think their team could have beat both teams, the usual sour grapes. We might recall what we called Steeler fans and other losers that thought this when we won especially the first SB. But then, that doesn't count because we ARE the best, whether we win or lose, and every one else stinks in comparison.
Is really true that we are the classiest and most knowledgable fans in the league, or is that only when we win?
