This was a testament of wills. A heavy weight title bout with both fighters exchanging vicious shots to the body. And I'm not talking about Pittsburg versus Miami. This is about every NFL fan in America versus the latest MNF game, a riveting 3-0 victory by the Steelers. You had to be a true diehard to wait out the game delay and sit through nearly three hours of scoreless football.
Some amusing nuggets from this regrettable affair:
- By the 2 minute warning, I was now opening rooting for no one to score. As Pittsburg drove to the Dolphins 5-yard line, I was praying for a fumble. If I'm going to sit through a shitty game, it best be a classic turd.
- This moment could have been part of an NFL highlight reel. "Just look at how this fan is laying it all on the line, sticking with this telecast to the 4th quarter, his tenacious attention span has never let up..."
- What fool bet the Over on this game? And how in the world was it 37.5 points, given the atrocious weather and field conditions? As a gambler betting the under, you had this game locked up by halftime.
17 seconds remaining. Steelers boot a field goal!!! Damn.
Not only was the game garbage, but Miami's season just got exponentially worse.
I'm sorry, but if your team goes 0-17 on the season AND you nearly tied the NFL game record for neither team scoring a single point (last occurred in 1943), then you are definitely setting the pole position for WORST NFL TEAM EVER.
