Congratulations Denver Broncos
The Better team won.
I just have one request. PLEASE go to New England and whoop the Patriots. PLEASE!
The Denver Broncos showed a lot of heart, passion and teamwork to get the victory today. Every prognasticator that likes to prognasticate picked the Steelers this week. Boy were they wrong.
I will be cheering for the Broncos next Saturday and I honestly hope ya'll go on an win the SB. Go Broncos! I am jumping on the Denver Bandwagon the rest of this season. I remain a Steeler fan for life, but for the rest of the season I am behind ya all the way.
The fans here at Mile High Report were very classy on my Broncos Buster post earlier in the week. I know its been a wild ride this season for ya. Don't let this victory over the Steelers be your SB. Build off this momentum and take it all the way.
When Denver wins the SB this year, it will be one of, if not the greatest sports stories of all time.
Once again. Congratulations!

Dolphins fan here
Since the dolphins missed the playoffs again, I jumped on the bandwagon too (not forever, just this postseason.) That was a great win! Hope you guys go on the super bowl.

It’s great to see the support from other teams. We’ll need it next week. It’ll be great if all the Steelers fan where in NE next week wearing orange and blue. We could use the home field advantage :)

Thanks Fever, you represent your team well, great organisation you got there, what an amazing game.

Steelers fans have nothing to be ashamed of
their team played tough, and cameron hayward did a good job. definetely a team with young talent.
also redmond filled in pretty damn good too
the steelers have absorbed much diversity these past few weeks including the fact that their RB coach is in a coma, still they almost came through and did not make any excuses whatsoever, theres a reason why they have the most lombardi trophies. Thank you pitt for a great game
If the broncos don't turn the ball over, they should beat the pats.
The broncos owned the pats until the three straight fumbles.

Agreed regarding the last Pats/Broncos game.
Pats Defense will however be looking different than in Week 15. Patrick Chung is back at SS and Devin McCourty was moved to FS from CB. They’ll also have MLB Brandon Spikes back, Tebow’s former teammate in college.
In addition to not turning the ball over I think the Broncos need to create some takeaways as well and find their old run-game.
It is what it is

Simply put, you just have to play smash mouth football with the pats.
If the broncos can hit them in the mouth again like last time, without the turnovers, then I have no doubt the broncos can win. The pats are a soft football team. I’m glad the broncos have gotten rid of that “soft” label.

Thanks guys.
You are welcome aboard for a month. Temporary passes.
The best of the 2011-2012 season is yet to come.
Thanks for the post. Steelers played great despite the injuries. I watched the game with my dad who has been a die hard Steelers fan for 40 years and it was a great game. Always respected the Steelers organization with Rooney, Dick Lebeau, and Bill Cowher back in the day, my favorite non-Shanahan coach when I was growing up.
I imagine your dad and I are in the same generation of Steeler fans. I been on board since 72.
Reminds me of the Dallas vs Steelers SB in the 70’s. My dad is a big Cowboys fan and I was a young Steelers fan. At one point during that game, I was cheering for my Steelers and dad got upset and told me if I didn’t quieten down I would be watching the game from my room. I didn’t have a TV in my room! So I shut up, but I had the last laugh as my Steelers won the game.

Haha exactly, grew up with the Steel Curtain and Harris/Bradshaw/Swann. I had been on the losing side of the game for a while (I don’t think anyone here has forgotten the 05 AFC Championship) but its nice to see the Broncos looking up again. I remember growing up during the Kordell Stewart years when Sundays weren’t as fun for Steelers fans, but they have been great for a while now and still have a ton of young talent.
I'm guessing...
…no QB in playoff history before today went for 300+ passing yards with 2 tds AND 50 rushing yards and another td.
Just a guess, but I know someone has the answer.

first of all, your welcome, jk we lost our game just for you guys to make the postseason. Props to your Defense Von Miller should be defensive rookie of the year if he isn’t already. Of Course about Teeeebooowww Oooohhh. hahaha I cannot wait to play him twice again next year with a actual Defensive Coordinator but until then good luck in the Playoffs. I was rooting for you guys to lose however at least i am honest.

Congrats to your team, and it's fans.
No one circles the wagons like…oops…I’ll just stay away from the wagons if you don’t mind.
But seriously, good game. It really was a good game. Great call in overtime too.
Don’t be discouraged by the Tebow haters. He looks pretty good to me.
Good luck to you through the playoffs too.

I'm hearing WAAAAAAY too much about the PITT injuries.
Are you serious? Watch the game. Denver outplayed the opponent. You want to start counting injuries? Denver isn’t missing any significant starters?
It is the talk of morons unable to admit their analysis has always been wrong. National media has lost all legitimcay when it comes to Denver football. Remember moving forward fellow Bronco fans, as the Eagles sang: “Talk is for losers and fools.”
Kuper, Moreno, Squid, Decker, Dawkins, Vaughn

with all those players back into the rotation. I say we keep Ty Warren through training camp to see if he can battle it out for a starter role, and if he can’t, keep him as much needed depth / vet presence on the line.

Dignity in defeat
Great game by both teams. I had a sinking feeling Roethlisberger was gonna pull it off when McGahee lost that horrendous fumble, but Denver held it together. And Tebow, DT, and the O Line played lights out today, so nothing to be ashamed of. Steelers weren’t full strength but that’s part of football. Neither were the Broncos. Both teams acquitted themselves with class. Good to hear classy words from a Steelers fan. Hopefully see you next year in the postseason.
good post & thanks for being classy in defeat.
I hope none of your injuries are serious and good luck next year!

Thanks for stopping by this week and now especially. How supremely sporting in a time when most people are classless jerks. Rec’d for me. Your team played great and made us earn it.
Go Broncos!

As long as we give 110% from each player, I’m good. :)
W-L record doesn't matter to me.... I just want to see a team on the rise at the end of the year!
Thanks for the classiness, fever
That was a tough, hard fought game, the epitomy of what Playoff football should be. Good game and best of luck to your Steelers, until we meet again!
We’ll do you proud next week. I am sure our first meeting with the Pats will serve as a great learning experience. It’s good to be back, BRONCO COUNTRY!!

All of Broncos Country is pulling for Coach Kirby Wilson and his family. May his recovery be swift and complete.
Secondly, thanks for being all class. The Steelers represent the the type of organization all should aspire to be, and you do the fans proud!
GO BRONCOS!!!!

TY for the sentiment PaVa.
Of course I would like to be an active member of BTSC. Its just hard for me to be active on a blog that allows a poster to weekly denigrate every other team in the NFL, all that does is enable every visitor to “our” site to reinforce the sterotype that is already out there about the “arrogant” Steeler fans. “We” may think its all in good humor, I would imagine most of the visitors don’t see it that way and probably mark our whole fanbase off as “insert Mechem hate”. Much as we have done with the Browns fanbase from our experience at their blog.
When the JC hate was allowed on the same post in 3 consecutive weeks, it just became to much for me to accept and want to be associated with. A lot of awesome people at BTSC, yourself included and they are missed by me. If and when the admistrators of the BTSC reign in that particular members posts, I will return. I don’t understand why it is allowed, the only reason I can come up with is, that it draws viewers to the site much in the same way people watched Jerry Springer for many years. I honestly don’t understand it, as it violates the rules we all agree to when we sign up at BTSC.
I don’t like to air “dirty laundry” in front of “outsiders” but at the late date of this post, few will be viewing it.

Congrats and best of luck in the playoffs. Knock off those Pats!

thank you steeler fever and freinds for stopping over and hangin out last week.
You had a good group of peeps with a lot of style and football savvy. It helped to make this week go by a bit faster. I feel bad for you guys. You are great football fans.
You never want to loose, but since there are no play off ties, and since there is only one winner I’m sure you’ll understand why I’m happy with the score. See you all next round!

It is better to keep silent, and appear to be wise, then to ramble on aimlessly and remove all doubt! The Wisest Man, Solomon.
Respect
I met at least a dozen steeler fans before and after the game. Very respectful fans! I enjoyed my interactions and congratulate you on a great game and solid season.
The only time you should be looking down on someone is if you are trying to help them up, unless you are Von Miller!
Thanks Steeler fans
I always thought many Steeler fans I’ve run into in bars were a bit obnoxious, but you all in the blog-o-world are 100% 1st class. You definitely have changed my perception.
Thanks for your insights and discussion this week, and best of luck in games against other teams next year!
I think it's the "new" Steelers fans that are a pain.
The ones that were 49ers fans..then Cowboys fans…then Patriots fans….then Steelers fans….and soon to be Broncos fans…
The legit, long-time ‘Burgh fans are good, knowledgeable fans. It’s the ones who jumped on the bandwagon in 05 that are pains. The same ones who probably could not tell you who Neil O’Donnell or Greg Lloyd or Levon Kirkland are…

Your Steelers played alright. They made a bunch of plays and needed maybe one more play in order to win.
Once the Broncos made the first score to go up 7-6 and demonstrated they could score at all I knew the Broncos would do OK. I was also very happy the Broncos didn’t stop trying to run the ball.
Unbelievable Win !
What a win – you made a pretty good Pittsburgh Steeler defense look ordinary. The Bronco offensive coordinator Mike McCoy deserves a game ball – he really took it to Dick LeBeau… made him look clueless. You got screwed out of fumble recovery by the dumb-ass refs – a correct call there is at least a 10 point turnaround – the game should have never even gone into OT. You outplayed the Steelers & the referees for a very big win.
Celebrate now though because next Saturday night your run through the playoffs will come to an end – as you know already, the Patriots have a real offense and they’ll hang 30 or 40 points on the Broncos. Not sure Tebow can put up 41 on New England at Gillette.
Great win though… really proud of the Broncos.
Thanks, steeler fever.
I gotta agree with a lot of the sentiments from fellow Broncomaniacs here — way to keep it classy! Your Steelers have been a perennial powerhouse in the league, and being able to watch such an exciting game at such a high level was a treat indeed.
I heard that the injuries to Hampton, Kiesel, and Starks might require off-season surgery. Here’s to hoping your crew recovers well, and best of luck next year (until you play us, that is!)
