At any point in the game Did anyone ever feel like we had control of it?

never. i texted my buddy and said, 'here we go again. letting a team hang around giving them a chance to win it late'

 

i felt the same, i just knew we was gona score a td on the drive and put the game away, then the fumble.. and the team nvr played the same

 

I agree- seconds before the fumble, when he got the first down, I felt that they would score on that drive and that would be it.

 

Nope, a friend texted and asked what I think? My reply " Not liking how close this game is, one mistake spells DOOM "

 

its weird when you can put your finger on the exact moment the s### hit the fan

 

Tired/deflated - take your pick.

 

No.

• We were losing the field position battle (badly);
• Several Broncos dropped passes without defensive pressure;
• Our run game wasn't developing, which put the offensive burden on Ben's injured shoulder.
• Never had a lead greater than 4pts -- and it was 1pt for most of the game; and
• I knew the altitude would take its toll in Q4.

Oh, but I was so hopeful!!!

 

Mmm. I never feel like the Steelers are in control no. And the outcome is never certain until the last few minutes.

This team doesn't convert on 3rd downs consistently enough to maintain drives and control the game in the 2nd half.

Many drives last fewer than 3 minutes. The other team usually gets at least 3-5 possessions in the 4th.

Always exciting haha.

 

New story about the VA
Checking in I turn around and this guy is standing there with a Ravens Jacket like mine. I was getting ready to insult him and he said, damn, you guys had the Broncos Saturday So I didn't insult him. He said he bet on us. Posting a pic of the jacket I had on. I paid $65 It is that fau-leather stiff and is real warm. I wear EX large shirts but the jacket I got is a "med" They are on clearance now for $34 so if you want one guys. 6 left http://www.hsn.com/shop/pittsburgh-...gh-to-low&skip=60&take=60&page=2&scroll=false

Edit that Med is almost too big on me. I am 6 feet tall and weigh 198 So take it from there is anyone is interested

 

I thought during the game we had control. I thought if we could score another touchdown we would win. I also thought if Denver ever got the lead we would lose. If we would of scored before the infamous fumble by our running back we would of won.

It never felt like our lead was safe. It just seemed the Broncos were about to break free for a TD and that we needed a long TD drive first. It looked like that might happen before the fumble. The D seemed to fold right after the fumble, after playing an outstanding game up to that point. On the Steelers final possession I would have liked to see Ben try some longer passes instead of short three yard gains that put us in danger of not getting the first down. Oh well, next year Steelers will be very strong with their top two picks being in the defensive secondary.

 

I won't say I thought we had it in hand with the score being so tight, but I was much less... panicky, I guess? I didn't have the same level of emotion as I seem to so often in these close games. Game in hand? Didn't necessarily feel that way, but felt a lot less sure there was an impending disaster than usual (lesson learned).
