I have to agree there. I watched the game and , though i am a lifelong Bears fan, I've always had a soft spot for the Steelers having grown up watching Franco Harris, Terry Bradshaw, Lynn Swann, and that great Steel Curtain defense. And Bill Cowher in particular was a great coach...i couldn't help feeling joy for the guy when they won the big one a couple years ago. I'm am VERY concerned, however, with Pittsburgh's lack of a consistent running game, but the "D" really made Philly look bad.
Speaking of looking bad, hey Niners fans...great first half yesterday! Our first-stringers beat the crap out of your first-stringers. On a serious note, the Bears looked EXTREMELY solid. If you take away a fumble on a punt that SF recovered, the Bears played a practically flawless first half as a team. Grossman still can't hang on to a snap for some reason...but when he does, he seems to be making better,more consistant choices. I have to say that- right now- the Bears still look like the odds-on favorite to win the NFC, just not as convincingly as last year.
