Big Ben hands Colts Game on Silver Platter

I can’t blame Ben for everything, part of the blame has to go to the offensive line for not giving Ben any protection but the 2 interceptions which put the Colts in the red zone, that goes to Ben. Both interceptions were incredibly costly and put 10 points on the board for the Colts. If Ben doesn’t throw those interceptions, we win the game.

The day started out good, my Dad picked me up at the Hyatt at the Pittsburgh airport around 1130am and we headed downtown to meet friends for some tailgating fun. There is a very large group from our area that meets for every game in the Subway parking lot by Gate C.

We had a great time tailgating with friends and headed into the stadium around 3pm so we could enjoy some good food in the Club area. This is the first time we’ve sat in the North club and we were not disappointed.

However, the game was very disappointing. We had this game under control and a few mistakes really cost us a big game. The defense stepped up as usual but a couple blown coverages hurt us and cost us a touchdown. We kept Addai in check and didn’t allow them to run the ball and the pressure on Manning kept him from making too many big plays.

We are still in control of first place with a win over the Ravens, we just need a very strong finish. The upcoming home stretch is very important and we need to win every home game from this point on.
