bad, but if your a Giants fan, I can't believe they get over this even next season.

24 point lead in the 2nd half, talkin trash and then taking it up the ass, unbelievable:eek:

I agree on that one, I thought the worst choke I had ever seen was the Browns for about 4 hours till the Giants did em one better.

Penguin, I didn't mean your agreeing with me but your signature line.

I personally wouldn't be that proud of Pitt beating a very weak Cleve team 3 times by only 3 points and once in OT, but a win is a win.

Gets alot tougher this week:D

I thought it was an interesting contrast in lead-blowing. I consider the Browns loss as much more of a choke, although the Giants had a bigger lead. The Browns just got too conservative in the 4th Q and it killed them. I thought the Giants game was simply a matter of the defense wearing down. Their offense was still driving at the end of the game and they probably should've won.

Your right, and your right. Not original so I changed it, and your right beating the Browns by a total of 9 points in 3 games is nothing to be proud of, and there may not be much to be proud of this year for the Steelers so face it, it's Pittsburgh and Cleveland and that ALWAYS matters.

I guess it's just the way you want to look at it, but with Pitt being a much more talented team, I don't consider the Browns choke as bad as the Giants especially factoring in all considerations like the trash talking and baitng done by the Giant players and the fact that the 24 point blown lead is still the biggest aspect for me.

All in all they were both bad beats for the respective teams, but NY IMHO was the most destructive to team and fans.;)

It doesn't really matter as they both are home and watching, but I think Cle will recover better than NY:shrug:

The more I think about it, I think the biggest collapse of the weekend has to be the Indy Colts, hear me out, the didn't have a big lead and blow it, they flat out sucked for 60 minutes. The only reason the score wasn't worse is because the NFL has a rule about quitting after 4 quarters. How does Indy recover from this one, I mean sure it will be tough for the Browns and the Giants to put those losses behind them, but at least they know they can play in the playoffs and just have to find a way to finish a team off, the Colts have to worry about going 16-0 in the regular season and getting blanked in the playoffs AGAIN. IMHO Indy has the most to overcome next season.

I agree penfan, Manning has been exposed the last couple seasons. This guy needs to learn just to run the f**king plays and quit trying to be an intelligent QB.

Also think he is not as talented as everyone expected, not mobile and his passes look off target most of the time and definitely has happy feet every passing down.

Looked great when first came in league, but now looks like a washed up hanging on QB.
