Last Second Field Goal Deflates Steelers
What a game. It started off good as the Steelers marched down the field like a 4 and 1 team and scored with ease. After that the wheels pretty much came off and Denver poked holes in every weakness we have. They dominated us in the passing game, we actually made Cutler look like a decent quarterback and I know that’s not the case. He picked us apart on 3rd down and we couldn’t put any pressure on him at all.
Why oh why did Tomlin score so quickly at the end of the game? With 1:10 left on the clock he continues to pass the ball and score quickly. Why not run the ball at least once? If they stop the clock, you make them burn a timeout, if not, you burn another 30 seconds. That was a critical mistake and cost us the game.
You know the defense has to play soft and prevent the score or big pass and that leaves the middle wide open for the 10 yd. pass and that’s exactly what Denver did all night. I’m also sick of the bad calls in this league, it’s happened so many times this year it’s pathetic. They missed a false start (on us) they missed several roughing calls on Big Ben, they missed every close call there was. Pathetic.
Oh well, off to Cincinnati to play the Bungles, this should be interesting…..
