Almost 30 on offense; held 'em to 9 on defense ... are we living up to potential?

Are we actually living up to our potential?

Why did the game seem so lousy then?

Are we too picky as Steeler fans?

Or are the wins actually covering up a real problem?

To answer your initial question, no, they're not living up to their potential, but they're still winning. When the offense starts clicking again (which I'm holding onto hope that it will), there will be few teams that can match up well against us. These kinds of growing pains are tough to watch, but really par for the course when it comes to this team this time of year.

Are we too picky as Steeler fan We have high expectations ... yes

Or are the wins actually covering up a real problem Hope that improvements can be made, even from a win.

Penalties killed the drives twice I can remember in the redzone,I had to listen to the radio feed so need to watch the short version later it good win towards the division.

Wasn't able to watch the game, but I kept track of the score. 19 point lead and next time I checked they were 8 points away. Then i heard the 2 pt overturned to make it a 10 point game.

I'll have to watch later to see if it was a surge by the rats or did we allow them to creep back in.

But no one should ever be disappointed with a 3-1 start - and I certainly won't be. I just hope they continue to improve because the football we've seen so far this year won't win in December or January. (absent my viewing of this game of course!)

The Ravens had a 50 yard run, and our D still held them to 83 yards rushing...

AB giveaway and bos missed FG let them back in for a bit

AB didn't give it away...the refs gave it to them...

My NFL Ticket viewing has led me to conclude that the league as a whole has a serious mediocrity problem this season so it’s not just the Steelers stinking it up.
