Divisional Playoffs: Steelers-Chargers Live Blog

Let's see how this goes... GO STEELERS!!!

16:19 Eagles just beat the Giants and are going to Arizona next week. I can't stomach the thought of a Ravens-Eagles Super Bowl... I really hope the Cards and Steelers can have something to say about that!

16:25 Cowher and Marino just squared off over who is the best WR in the league. Cowher stubbornly stuck with Andre Johnson and Marino of course went with Fitzgerald. Cowher... buddy... you never were good at picking star receivers were you? (with the exception of Hines)

16:42 How about we keep a "Darren Sproles is five foot six" counter. Five foot six: 1 (courtesy of Phil Simms)

16:46 J. Reezy kicks off, Timmons engulfs 5-foot-6.

16:49 Vincent Jackson is sober today. 7-0 Chargers.

16:55 Fast Willie is doing the Bettis Boogie... hope he keeps up the intensity.

16:58 Just learned something new... Roethlisberger is a lefty kicker. Sneaky Tomlin. I like it.

17:03 Santonio with the HUGE return! Oh my goodness. Things gots to be going our way when the special teams is makin' it happen! Maybe San Diego can't cover kicks when Scifres doesn't kick it inside the 10. 7-7

17:08 Steelers just rushed 3 on 1st and 25. Nonsense. If they don't rush either Woodley or Harrison every down, then they damn fools.

17:12 Rushed Woodley. Sack. I know what I'm talkin' about people! 3rd and 25

17:23 End of the 1st. Simms mentioned something that was on ESPN this morning... did you know that 33 of the last 39 seasons the Steelers have sent a linebacker to the Pro Bowl. pretty awesome.

17:33 Parker is still running hard. He's on the verge of breaking one.

17:51 Fake punt, not good. Tomlin has no faith in Berger.

17:54 Woodley is playing his heart out. He's a good one. By the way... 5-foot-6 10 rushes for 15 yds.

17:57 Chargers FG. 10-7 Chargers

18:05 Steelers driving with a minute left in the 1st half. Second illegal formation call against the Steelers. This is just lazy coaching... there is too much of that this year. Someone needs to be calling this in practice. Ben with a big pass to Hines down to the 3. Surprised Hines didn't get in on that one.

18:08 Willie's in for a TD. He's gaining more and more momentum. 14-10 Steelers. Chargers pack it in and go to halftime.

18:37 Heath Miller TD! Roethlisberger is looking sharp. 21-10 Steelers

18:39 5-foot6 with a big kick return. Son of a bitch.

18:40 Kiesel tipped the pass, Foote catches it. Steelers ball! Big play to get the momentum back.

18:41 Howie Long is such an asshole in these Chevrolet commercials.

18:46 Norv lost his second challenge. Have you noticed that the refs have stopped saying that the replays were "indisputable"? I feel like this is a concious decision so there is no dispute over being indisputable. Huh? What?

18:49 Taunting penalty not called on a tackle on Willie with the guy standing over him afterwards. I think it's a wussy rule, but a rule is a rule.

18:52 Steelers recover a punt off of some fool's head. He got caught red-handed on a holding non-call too. Looking good. Steelers ball!

19:08 Wow... so much has happened, I'm getting behind. Steelers went for it on the goalline, didn't make it, Woodley had a LETHAL sack on Rivers, and Ryan Clark showed extreme discipline in pulling up on a hit on Gates since the pass was over his head. Wes Welker wasn't as fortunate. Steelers' ball on about the 50.

19:10 Pass interference called in the endzone on San Diego. First and 10 at the 1. HERE WE GO, STEELERS!!! HERE WE GO!!!

19:11 Gary Russell TD! He should have carried it on the 4th down play last series instead of Carey Davis. I'm hating Davis this game. 28-10 Steelers

19:17 Troy missed a rare tackle on 3rd down. Not cool.

19:18 Nice tidbit by Nantz... Lawernce Olajuwon Timmons, named after Hakeem.

19:23 Touchdown Chargers. I don't want to talk about it. 28-17

19:35 What'd I say about Willie? He's rollin'. Touchdown #2. 35-17 Steelers. This one's almost over, but I wouldn't mind some more torturing of Rivers. It's just so much fun.

19:44 Leftwich is in and he just aired it out to Sweed. He dropped it. Damn... he's a dud. What a bad draft it was this year.

19:52 5-foot-6 burns us for a long TD. Didn't he notice that the game was over, when Leftwich set foot on the field? Jerk. 35-24

19:57 Victory formation. Ravens are in town next week. Going to be a good one!
