    Steelers D stepped it up huge today.

    Roethlisberger and the "offense" sucked.

    Gilbert beaten like a drum on the last play of the game, fitting. Time to face facts, this OLine as currently constructed is the worst in the league.

    And there goes the consequence of our shameful clock management

    Blame Tomlin because Ben should know better than to throw all those picks

    Wtf was he thinking?? At least give it a chance for a fluke bounce, right? We played stupid in every facet of the game today.

    The play was closed down well by the defender, and Ben kind of clocked that and threw the ball behind the receiver. I think had the defender not reacted quickly, Bryant would have got another 10 yards or so, if not more.

    Still a poor decision to run the play, though. A bit of the old "guts and glory" Ben.

    Yes, it's on Ben.
    But two other key facts, pretty much to blame on Tomlin:
    Clock management
    Punting from CIN 35 yardline

    Clock management. Should have had 2 timeouts after the 2 minute warning. Laughing at Baltimore, but this team is 2-2 with Ben and 2-2 without him........

    Blame Tomlin because if not for his horrible clock management skills, there still would have been time on the clock. If he had used those TO's before the 2 minute warning, we would have had over 2 minutes to score, not under 2 minutes. It makes a big difference.

    I'm grumpy, but:

    That is why I don't jump to call Ben " Elite"

    Just don't understand that at all. Why didn't h keep the freaking ball in bounds and give somebody a chance?

    The non PI call on Bryant sealed the deal. Tommorow the VP of officials will call and say sorry we missed another call, and there is nothing you can do about it. POS zebras

    Was it just me or was AB wide open before Ben decided to throw the ball in the stands?

    Throwing it to the back of the end zone... to the shortest receiver on the field.

    I dunno. I kind of switched off once the refs waved their arms. So my criticism of aiming for Brown could be misplaced.

    I want to say it was a bad release or something, but he was clearly throwing an arc to the back of the EZ there.

    With another 5 seconds on the clock, that's a good call. When it's the last play, you're almost better off running a screen and hoping someone on D makes a mistake...

    Losing Bell will be the big story, I am afraid.

    I feel bad for the defense - played one heck of a game today.

    Our O kept going 3 and out or turning it over.

    Archer is useless, field position was in the Bengal favor all game.

    This loss is 100% on the offense, especially Ben and the 3 INTs!
