How to Blow a Game 101 – Steelers vs. Giants

I’m speechless… well, not really or I wouldn’t be posting to the Blog today but I am extremely disappointed at yesterday’s game. The defense did what they needed to do until the last 4 minutes. Everyone stepped up for the most part because of players dropping like flies and as I stated yesterday, mistakes would be the key to losing this game.

Oh boy were there mistakes… 4 interceptions, 5 sacks, knocked down 15 times and Ben looked like a deer in the headlights most of the day. Injuries happen and it’s part of the game so the long snapper deal should never happen, there needs to be someone there to backup Warren if he’s hurt. That one play cost us the game. Yes, that play turned things around for the Giants who were struggling on offense the entire game.

Our defense held them to 4 field goals the entire game and after the safety looked like an entirely different team, they let Manning march down field and score. We still had a chance but the play calling after we got the ball back was crazy.

There were some highlights to this game but after a loss like this, it’s hard to point them out. Let’s just say there are many players that need to get healthy and this home game stretch is crucial for us. We must win home games, that’s a given.

We have complete control of the division but we need to stay on top with big wins and for goodness sakes, play mistake free football!
