What did kicks have to do with having first and goal at the broncos 2 yard line and Conner not get a single snap shot at a carry to win the game??

    You need to stop living in a fantasy world of our kicker and turnovers being the only problem. We haven’t been a great plus turnover team in eons. Your quote dillusional.
    Really, actually we could even call it one kick, if boswell makes the kick against the browns we win the division.

      And every team in this league can point to a couple of kicks they should have made. Starting with the Bears. Lol

        You try and deflect from the fact that our secondary is piss poor. We have one legit linebacker meaning we failed to adequately replace Shazier. We missed on Harold Landry and the Colts linebacker.

        And lineman covering wrs.

          You completely missed the point, I was asked if I thought we could finish better than 9-6-1 and I said we could because we were a few kicks away from winning the division and we led almost every game during the 4th quarter.

            I am not deflecting from anything, Steelers were ranked 10th in passing yards per game, the evidence simply doesn't support that the secondary is "piss poor" but please continue to pull stuff out your ass.

              We all saw the games. Stats be damned. Stats don’t always tell the whole story. You can continue to deflect from the real issues of this team.

                Yes with you it seems to be anything that doesn't support your narrative "be damned".

                  Not true. I just don’t stick my head in the sand like you and some others. That’s why everything I’ve said has planned out to actuality. Just like what Harrison said a year ago. Continue to deflect; it’s not working. More and more posters are coming around based on the “ should we fire Tomlin” poll. My long term vision was just ahead of some others.

                    He uses the word "deflect" a lot. But:

                            My point is, also-rans say "We're basically OK; we don't need to worry too much about making changes to improve" ("shucks, we were only a couple of missed kicks from a division title"). Champions say, "How can we fix this so that we're not blowing leads late in games and so that we aren't talking about how we barely missed the playoffs and instead are talking about contending for a Super Bowl?"
