For all those thinking how the poor chargers got so screwed, denver lost a game on a very similar play last year to the bears. Grossman fumbled (though not while passing), bronco picked it up and was headed for the end zone and whistle blew. Bears got the ball back even though the refs agreed it was a fumble but used the old "inadvertant" whistle. Bears scored winning TD. Difference is, Mike Shannahan did not whine for days like poor little norvy.
Bad calls happen to every team every year. It's part of the game.

bank, the Steelers have consistantly won 10 games a year, are in the playoffs every year and have won a Super Bowl in the last 20 years. Not much let down there.

I am sorry that you are an Eagles fan. You seem like a nice enough guy otherwise.
And yeah, I know, if I want to Pay $$$$$, I can watch any game, but since the Steelers are an elite franchise, they play enough on Sunday Night and Monday, I get to see a few of their games a year.

"It's only sprained", and they'll do fine, it was sprained before the game in Cleveland. Of course the cheap, unpenalized late hit by "Big Baby" didn't help, but Ben never left the game. They'll be just fine. They are a running team. As proven last year, when without Willy, they lost their first playoff game.

You'd think they'd be able to win the home opener. What a disappointment.
The Bears will never be a first-rate team until McCaskey starts spending some money for a quarterback. Orton had a solid B as their QB today, and Lloyd was a star receiver. Unfortunately, not enough to boost the points ahead so the defense could keep Tampa out of the end zone in the 4th quarter. Weak.

I wonder how pitt will do with a QB who has a seperated shoulder
Wonder what was separated on the offensive line? Oh wait, that would be their brains from the blocking schemes! Wow, what a pitiful performance. I am a little sick about it.
