What if...

Double digit lead???? Cmon man. What team are we talking about?

 

The opportunities were there and the Cardinals are that bad. They should have had a touchdown on the opening drive. The were moving with a chance to get at least three without the sloppy play on the second drive. Then Roberts had a ball he could have easily intercepted in Arizona territory, but he ignored the ball so he could light up the receiver, handing the Cardinals their field goal.

Yes, double-digit lead.

 

Lots of "shoulda's" there.

The Steelers average 16 points a game. That doesn't lead to too many double digit leads.

 

If you want to look at the first 11 games, the Steelers played a much tougher schedule than people realized until last week. They hadn't faced anybody as bad as the Cardinals.

If you want to look at what was happening on the field Sunday, you would realize that only their sloppy play kept the Steelers from taking a double-digit lead well before they got to that fourth-and-one.

 

We will have to agree to disagree on this one.

I am not suggesting that the Cardinals are a good team. I am saying that the Steelers inability to score points makes double digit leads hard to come by.
