I thought defense looked great. The offense shot themselves in the foot. I hate to say this but we TOTALLY BEAT OURSELVES.

I said before the game that we would OWN you, and the final score certainly contributes to my theory.

the curse of the penalties came back to us today.. Some bad calls there refs. Mrob TD?? That first down catch?? But not to make excuses, I think we beat ourselves more than the steelers beat us. BJ's first not so good game under the healm for us. Well, it'll be a small miracle now if we can get into the playoffs. I still had fun watching this team play this year, they finally started to show heart and passion. Now lets win out!

Thats the truth man i though Ed Hockalugy and his crew where the best in the league, they made some really bad calls today. I'm glad the game wasn't decided by the bad officiating, as many opportuities as we had in the red zone we should have overcame the bad reffing like we have in this six game win streak.

Turnovers and Penalties really are killer.

Disgusting game. After our special teams was doing so well... we looked like out ST of last year. Horrible.

We are still just barely above a .500 team. We just have to face it. Its where we have been for the last three years. With a little luck we will make it to the wild card but we are not going anywhere against playoff teams that's a fact.

are we forever doomed for failure?

Good game steelers.... I thought Brad would bring the maturity and calm the Vikings would need but he panicked in big spots and cost the Vikes the game. Your team played well enough to force him to make plays and he couldn't. Congrats.

I didn't see the game, and to save me from a potential heart attack it was probably a good thing, my spirit isn't dead regardless though, still two more games left.

Defense played solid for most of the game. On the other hand this team will never win anything meaningful until they bring in a legit running back.

Except fot the big runs and the 3rd and 28. :???:

Big runs :roll:

You have to pound the football and it has been years since we were able to do it. It's feast or famine with our running game.

No! There big runs, not ours!

You were originally talking about our D.

:roll:

Ah, thought you meant the big runs that we get that happens twice a game for 30 yards total.

Personally I was happy with our defense today. The opening penalty against Eramus hurt on their opening drive but overall we held them to 18 points on only 1 TD.

The poor special teams and the lack of ability to score when we're on the freaking 2 yard line killed us.
