We had them... smh, and we let em off the hook

[feltdizz]

I feel bad for Toussaint but I hope he learns from this...

[Eddie Spaghetti]

yep

Steelers were the better team today and let it get away

[Iron Shiek]

Nothing to hang heads about. Limping into a hostile environment we did really well and nearly pulled it off. Great ge, great season considering the circumstances.

[BradshawsHairdresser]

Steelers should have won this game.

Oh well, on to the draft...

Sometimes the better team doesn't win.

[Slapstick]

One. Freaking. Turnover.

If Haley open up the play book from the beginning, this game is not even close imo. All those screens and that second reverse was plain stupid.

[SteelBucks]

Tough way to lose. Drives stalled and then the fumble. This one will hurt for a while but I'm looking forward to next season. Avoid injuries and this team is legit...just fill the holes.

The Steelers scoring drive was one of the best called/designed drives I've seen all year. And after that, the playcalling was awful. I couldn't understand all the 2 and 3 TE sets.

120% agree with this. We will be one of the favs to win it next year (or this year) but they need to get some help in FA in secondary. Blake needs to be beat out, weakness. Stumping for signing Eric Weddle.

They still seem to pi$$ away some drives. That one in 3rd Q where they ran 3 straight times and punted was puzzling and a waste, as was the 4th and 1 again, and threw a deep incomplete pass- no points, and the poss. 51 yard FG and they punt. In Denver? kickers love Denver.

Peyton had taken a fetal position and covered up the ball. That play should have been ruled over at that point. The offense sputtered enough to allow one turn over knock them out if the game. The better team did not win tonight. Tomlin once again not going for points when he opted to punt instead if a field goal. You already know the punter was having a bad night and the defense was doing a good job at that point. I take no delight that we came close, had injuries and gotten this far. I don't settle in my personal life and I don't settle for rah, rah silver linings with anything else.

[Slapstick]

I'm accused of being a homer, but there is no way the Steelers were the better team this week. Nor last week.

With a healthy AB and DW, perhaps we're better...

[papillon]

Obviously, the TO was big, but for me it was all the little mistakes that they had to overcome that really cost them field position in a field position game. Things like running at PM so hard that even he was able to elude a sack and make a play after he falls to the ground, couple early drops (including Heath's), punts, and yet again not taking what was available particularly on the 4th and one throw into the EZ, Heath was wide open for probably 7-8 yards. Regardless, it was an exciting game and roller coaster season, here's to July 2016 and the start of another Steeler season.

Yes, tough now, but there is a good future and there is much reason for optimism for next year.

[SanAntonioSteelerFan]

All those "bad calls" where we ran instead of passed long:

We viewers have no idea what the field looked like. If everyone is covered, a running play or a short crossing route might be the right call. Announcers were saying that on at least a few of those calls, ones that initially looked too conservative to me.
