Up here on the Yukon, enjoyed the (win) just the same; and sure hope that was their bad game and not what we will see again nx week.

Remember back when handraty kept sayin they were buildin when they were like 1 and 13.

For some strange reason, the Steelers are the Athabaskan Native's team. I'd be in these back in villages where ya expect to see bear runnin between cabins with scroungy dogs pesterin them; and always see blk&gold logo. Ya know, kinda expected to see seahawk or niner fans up here but all ya see is steeler shirts and hats. None of them know where it started but they all get together for steeler games; and none know what iron city is either.

I remember the bad days. That's what makes it so sweet now.

The Kordell days are just a bad memory now! Todays winner (NE vs. Indy) has to come to our house, and that ain't fun!

BTW, that's so cool, but not surprising, that Steelers fans are everywhere! Even in the Yukon!

That's great to hear! And don't worry, that was the "bad" game, although remember:

From a writer in the Post Gazette this morning: The defense (only) allowed 3 points and forced a turnover inside Jets territory that led to seven points. The offense had 150-plus yards rushing, and moved into Jets' territory four out of the last five possessions. As a team, they overcame a punt return and an interception return for touchdowns, a deficit in the fourth quarter, a fumble inside the other team's 30 in the fourth quarter, and the Jets getting the ball first in overtime.

Champions find a way to win games "they shouldn't win." That's exactly what the Steelers did.

****

Excellent remarks from a fan who has his head screwed on straight!!

Steeler Fans are everywhere. The Pittsburgh Post Gazette has been running a series of photos of the Steeler Nation. You should send in a photo. I'm working on one to send in from here in the heart of Patriot Country.

Think they have a cabin that kicker from the Jets could hide out in for a few years till the heat dies down. I sure wouldn't want to be that kid walking the streets of New York. I'd rather take my chances with the polar bears.

I'm glad the Steelers won, but I do feel for that kid. (Sheeze. I must be getting soft in my old age.)
