I remember this game like yesterday 18 years old now 28 looking back football ain’t the same
What a game this was, a game that really should've taken place in January, 2008 in what would've been "The Battle of Champions"- Super Bowl XLI champion Colts vs. Super Bowl XL champion Steelers. Nevertheless, 2 big-time safeties, Bob Sanders and Troy Polamalu, 2 Ohio State alum, Anthony Gonzalez and Santonio Holmes and most importantly, 3 potential candidates for the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2021, Peyton Manning, Reggie Wayne and Hines Ward!!!
One of the more frustrating losses of the season. The Steelers kept shooting themselves in the foot. Ben was picked 3 times and there was an impressive GL stand by the Colts.
Fun fact, this was the first win by the Colts in Pittsburgh since 1968.
It had a playoff type atmosphere: ugly, fast, and guys grinding for every yard. The team that made fewer mistakes won.
Early on, Manning was only about 4/12 for 96 yards, but there was a brilliance to it. He kept throwing long passes that weren't being caught - or were flat out dropped by Harrison twice - but also weren't really at risk of being intercepted. He was doing it because it slowly forced the Pittsburgh defense to see that guys were getting open and could bust a big play, so they had to back off of tight coverage. Manning's completion percentage also gradually got better as the game went on. In other words, they were worthwhile incompletions. Also, the opposing crowd noise; for whatever reason, home teams thought that the visiting Colts (or later, Broncos), could be bothered by lots and lots of crowd noise, but it didn't bother Manning at all. Not one bit. He used mostly hand-signals anyway, and then the incredible noise actually hindered their home team's defense because they couldn't hear his audibles or the snap count, so it was harder to get a jump on his routes. Just citing a few things a lot of average fans don't think about.
And who won in the rematch? Pittsburgh made Manning look like a high school QB. Brilliance my behind. He tried to go deep all game. And failed. So many bad calls by the refs in that playoff game. Yet the Steelers won.
Colts receivers were absolutely horrendous in this game
my first ever steelers game i attended
Volume is too low
This game typified the impotence of the Tomlin-Arians era. Doofus cheerleader HC letting an arrogant clueless OC just do whatever he wanted. How Tomlin is still employed today is a mystery.
Who's here after the Colts finally win over Steelers in Week 15
Steelers defense really wasn't that good.
From 2005 - 2011, they did a lot of good things and were always ranked near the top of the league, defensively. The better QB's in the league almost always beat Dick LeBeau's crazy blitzing schemes, however. To pull off the blitzes, they usually had to have a lineman or LB drop into coverage, and the better QB's could exploit that.
2008 Steelers defense was probably the best defense the NFL has seen in the 21st century.
