All is not lost

All is not lost guys. I know we hate to say it but, Baltimore is good, but they sure are beatable. We are talking about a team that just 55 spotted the Raiders the week before, and we shut them down on defense. Ray Rice had nothing, Flacco had nothing, Torrey Smith had one catch.

I see a lot complaints about lack of pressure, but you have to give Lebeau credit, the secondary is not giving up huge passing plays, but were not getting turnovers, but were aren't getting burnt either. I think for what we have in a slighty older defense is that the scheme is working well. I think it will open up sooner with more sacks and turnovers.

It's tough on offense, trust me if Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Eli Manning, or Aaron Rodgers went down, how do you think those teams would play. Leftwich is hurt, but I admire his guts to stick it out, but I think it did hurt the team in the second half with his throwing, Tomlin should have put Charlie in, but didn't.

Special teams won the game for the Ravens, of course they got the TD on the punt return, but look at what Sam Koch did last night, he hit some boomers and gave his guys tons of time to get down there, we never had a decent chance at a punt return. Not to get on Drew Butler, because Drew is a rookie, but he was out punted by Koch, just look at the field postion last night. We always were getting the ball at the 15 or 20 at best. They were getting it at the 30 or 35 pretty often.

Wallace needs to learn to hold on to the ball, feels like he has had more fumbles this year than the last 4 years combine.

We can over come this guys, it's going to be hard without Ben, Cleveland plays decent defense at times, and Richardson is getting close to 100 yards a game on everybody. But, you can't beat yourself and that's what happen last night, and if we don't do it Sunday, we should come away with the W.

 

Good thoughts OP...I agree. If U say U are a fan then stay the course win or lose

 

We played horrible on every side of the ball. So did they. 13-10 and they never scored an offensive touchdown. With Ben in the game against that same exact Ravens team, we win 30 points up.

As long as Lefty is starting, all is lost.

 

I know the players like to say....the only team that can beat the Steelers is the Steelers,problem is we beat ourselves more often than we should.

 

Wow, I dont share your opinion at all. I thought the defense played a really good game! The first series, offensively, we moved the ball right down the field (yes I know there was a large PI call to help). I am no Leftwich supporter by any stretch, but he was clearly injured 90% of the game. I thought we completely outplayed Baltimore.
