The pass from Ben Roethlisberger was overthrown. On his weekly radio show Tuesday night, Harbaugh said the fine was excessive and that the league was asking McClain to “do something beyond the laws of physics” by avoiding Miller on the play."<br /><br />i just read that this morning. apparently, harbaugh thinks a deflected pass is overthrown and it is impossible for a player to pull up after the ball has hit the ground.<br /><br />what a jerk.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-27772474606421194342010-12-09T03:44:13.234-05:002010-12-09T03:44:13.234-05:00I just hope we can win a game!I just hope we can win a game!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-29741936904852687112010-12-08T22:03:23.111-05:002010-12-08T22:03:23.111-05:00Vaflyer, you're not thinking 4th dimensionally...Vaflyer, you're not thinking 4th dimensionally!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16202305420091425426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-68134190614151195202010-12-08T16:27:34.217-05:002010-12-08T16:27:34.217-05:00Do I have it right that basically any 6-6 team whi...Do I have it right that basically any 6-6 team which loses coupled with our winning eliminates that team from keeping us out of the playoffs?<br /><br />Indy @ Tenn<br />Cheifs @ SD<br />Oak @ Jaguars<br />Miami @ JetsVaflyernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-18269174524548993002010-12-08T16:23:54.043-05:002010-12-08T16:23:54.043-05:00Okay, I see it now.

Here it is:<br /><br />1. J.J. Watt, DE, Wisconsin<br />2. G/C Maurkice Pouncey, Florida<br />3. CB Rashard Carmichael, Virginia Tech<br />4. NT Kenrick Ellis, Hampton<br />5. WR Terrance Tolliver, LSU<br />6. FB Owen Marecic, Stanford<br />7. OT Derek Newton, Arkansas State<br /><br />Any of the draft picks from the 4th through the 7th round could be swapped out for the highest rated kicker in the draft (Alex Henery, Nebraska), but other than that, this is what I have.
