I don't agree that we only throw to the sidelines, however that seems to be all the opposing O needs to do to move the ball up the field on us. I do agree that Wallace could have tackled that guy while he was on the ground on the INT (and said so in the chat).Quote:

Bad play call in my opinion. You only need 4 yards. Heath is having a big game. I say its on Ben cuz they were in no huddle.
85% or more of our passes are outside the hashes...didn't mean 'right along the sideline.Quote:

We lost this game on special teams. The fumble on our PR and the long Dallas KR in OT were the worst plays of the game. We've been losing on special teams all year long.
Lebeau has to get some credit here. After the big return, I was pretty certain that the Cowboys would score. They did not need much at to get into FG range, yet the D held, despite not even having Lewis.Quote:

In the fourth quarter the Steelers' defense managed to make the necessary stops and gave the STs and offense a chance to win the game, in my mind, the defense did enough at a crucial moment and then, of course, a great return leading by 7 and a chance to make it a two score game and burn clock, but careless ball security and a weak fumble costs the Steelers dearly. They simply couldn't capitalize when the opportunity arose, the defense gets spanked most of the game, but makes critical stops, the offense struggles early, then gets the lead, the STs play okay, but then put the ball on the ground right when the offense was clicking and the offense doesn't get a chance to ice the game.Quote:
