13-3 early lead, I blame Cowher!

And that is why they use 11-point leads to the Cowher legacy instead of 10.

That was terrible losing that AFCCG to that team. I don't know that we woud have beat the Niners, but we could have given them a game unlike the Chargers getting blown out of the stadium. Alfred fuckin Pupunu indeed.

That loss...it's the single worst loss for me in Steeler history and I've been watching since about 1970. It still lingers..I was genuinely shocked after that loss. IT felt like the end of hope. Overly dramatic to be sure but that's what I felt for months afterward and I can still summon up the feeling when I want to. That's staying power.
