January 16, 2005 (Indianapolis, Indiana) - How fitting that on Martin Luther King day, the residents in a couple of NFL wild card cities, can in unison recite those famous words! Both the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Carolina Panthers are well on their way to turning that dream into reality, as they took one more step on a long arduous journey that could see them opposing each other in Motown on February 5th.
In a rather shocking display of dominating offense and relentless defense, Bill Cowher’s troops overwhelmed Peyton and his Posse, as well as turning back what seemed to be divine intervention. To be totally honest with everyone, I actually turned the television off and began preparing an article, when Manning was sacked on fourth down on his own two yard line with just over a minute left in the contest.
I wasn’t the only person who thought the contest was over, as Cowher and the rest of the Steeler contingent, were hugging each other as well. It was only three hours later that a friend asked me if I had seen fellow Canadian Mike Vanderjagt miss a game tying field goal on the last play, that would have forced overtime? What field goal and how did Indy get the ball? Little did I know that Bettis had fumbled and the Colt’s Nick Harper scooted down the field, like a guy being chased by his wife with a knife. Out of nowhere comes Roethlisberger that makes a game saving tackle and thus forced a field goal try that was unsuccessful.
I guess this adds credence, to the saying that it “it is never over, until it is over!
Meanwhile in the Windy City the Carolina Panthers dispelled any myth about the Bears defense, being considered one of the best of all time and Steve Smith took Chicago cornerback Charles Tillman to the woodshed, as the Cats mauled the Bears.
If you are one of the guys who at the start of the year, listened to what several of the football insiders were suggesting, you most likely have a live ticket going, as both the Steelers and Panthers were the picks to go all the way to Detroit in 2006.
Because the Panthers and Steelers stubbed their toes during the regular season, both were underdogs yesterday and Carolina was the live dog two weeks in a row.
Now the NFL scene heads west to Starbucks Country and the Rocky Mountains as the Seattle Seahawks and the Denver Broncos, brace themselves for the confident Panthers and Steelers.
In the NFC, Carolina is down to their 3rd string running back Nick Goings as DeShaun Foster broke his ankle and Peppers and some other defensive players are banged up. On the flip side, the Seahawks secondary is young and suspect, so Steve Smith may take over again.
Denver like Pittsburgh loves to bring pressure with a plethora of blitzes and their defensive line is huge, so the Steelers running game may falter. has both the home sides listed as favorites presently, with the books begging folks to jump on the Panthers bandwagon.
I know that Denver will be in Detroit, but I would not count out Carolina, as they bring big game experience to the dance Sunday!
