    Pass D was horrendous. Run D stepped up after the first quarter Cam was awesome.

    Offense came alive! Baltimore losing Hamilton was huge that secondary was almost as bad as ours.

    Boz WTF man he can’t be trusted at this point.

    Tomlin has 194 lives can he win a playoff game at home? Houston is tough but CJ Stroud can be had and they don’t have a good running game.

    I disagree about Boz. Kick the FG at the end of the 1st half and the game becomes much different.

    Austin juked that guy - I thought the guy just fell but watching the replay it was Austin's move that made him fall.

    That is the most balanced left to right passing spread the Steelers have had in years.

    But Boz has missed FGs in the two previous games IIRC.

    He’s missing kicks lately even chip shots. Hes been automatic for such a long time.

    Texans open as a 3 point favorite.. Maybe they need to ask the Ravens how that works out.

    All I got is that Hamilton going out was the key moment.

    seemed to open things up after that.

    On #9, they have got to let Rodgers call more of his own plays. I trust him more with his experience than I trust the OC. Especially when communication breaks down, as it did some in the 2nd half.

    Houston is a much better team than Baltimore this season defensively. Offensively is where they could struggle if we play solid D.

    Then why did he waste those time outs?!?!? He should have called his own plays!

    Why else is the oldest most experienced and supposedly smart and savvy vet here for anyway…?

    it's funny - or maybe sad - but whenever Rodgers tries to go hurry up we end up calling a time out.

    I'll also add that we abandon the run way too early. 47 passing attempts is not going to serve the steelers well next week.

    Boswell is the rock we tie our ropes to before stepping off the edge of a cliff. He has missed a couple of kicks this year that he never misses. At least 2 from memory have been in critical spots. I hope this is not a sign of an issue with him.......slight injury, focus or something. He is still awesome, but I am spoiled by his performance in the past, especially in those tight spots that have all of the pressure. Tonight there was the extra point, but he also had more that drifted and spiraled in weird. Maybe the pressure in the balls was jacked up?

    The play call on 4th and goal before the half. I agree with going for it, but not the play call. The Ravens had like 3 guys cheated out that way. They were ready for that play.

    Can we cancel the first quarter and just start the game in the second? Because the Steelers don't seem to be able to play in the first quarter on either side of the ball.

    Rodgers and timeouts. They need to get a handle on that. We have scraped thru it so far, but using multiple timeouts in a game due to the play clock running out is unacceptable, and even more unacceptable at home where the crowd is on your side. That communication issue with his helmet assed everything up for several plays. I was under the impression that Rodgers should have just called a play.

    Does anyone closely watch any other teams? I watch lots of games, but really pay attention to the Steeler games. Tonight was some really bad reffing. Lots of no calls and the horrible trip that resulted in a roughing the passer call on us. Should have been a penalty against the Ravens, not us. Can they challenge flag the penalty call?

    Yeah, that was dumb I think they wasted two timeouts just let Rodgers call the plays until the drive is over.

    Oh look, they made a chart of our collective heartbeat. Clearly several spots in there that should have resulted in a trip to the emergency room and some time on a defibrillator.
