We need Williamson to spell Spillane and Alualu back for sure.

I’ve got my share of complaints, but I’d rather win than lose. And these players know they need to be better to compete. It was obvious on their faces.

on the plus side, I’m still impressed with Ben when he needs to get us points.

I hate feeling like the refs gifted us a win.

BS hand to Ben's face but missing the horse collar on Heyward.

All in all, that was miserable. Just do the hurry up all game next game. Make Fichtner walk home. Should take 6-7 months.

Juju stepped up when called upon. MM might just cry himself to sleep tonight.

Poorly coached.

The running game is non-existent.

These are the most worrying.

The lack of situational awareness by this stafff, and in the players because of the staff, is damning.

If you can't run when you need to, you won't win in the playoffs. They need to figure out how to get that going stat. Why they bother with vanilla passing schemes out of the huddle I'll never know. The only time Ben is successful is out of the hurry up, most often times in empty-set. Peyton played every game in the no huddle, it's possible, and it will help your damn running game.

Imagine this team against Kansas City right now. They'd give up points, but they'd put up 40 on this team, could the Steelers keep up?

This regular season literally doesn't matter with the expanded playoffs, someone will have to beat the Chiefs, let alone the Ravens again.

I mean they made punching the QB’s face a penalty a few years ago and he knocked Ben down doing it. The timing of it is what makes it look bad, but if that was 1st and 10, no one looks twice at the call.

that penalty to Ben was legit, but that illegal contact call when Ben fumbled was nonexistent and a game changer in the Steelers favor

Thank goodness Ben was able to come back after that injury scare.

they might have shot up his knee...real test will be this week...if it swells up, he could be out against the Bengals

Yeah and they missed the illegal contact on the INT in the end zone.

We deserved to lose. And arguably we could use the wake-up call.

Edit: the Heyward horse collar on that 4th down play looked incredibly obvious to me, too.

I’m pretty sure the players know. I’m guessing their game plan (whatever it was) was nothing like what we saw, haha.

Kick that field goal 100 times out of 100. Hate the decision, hate it.

First half starts are atrocious.

But in the end it is a win, and f*** it a win is a win.
