Feels like a Playoff loss.

    I’m so disappointed.

    Steelers gave the game away.

    Feels like one of those crappy Playoff losses where Steelers were just out tricked.

    It sucked for sure, but we definitely had to lose. Team needs a wake up call, season is almost over

    I know that people say that every loss has a number of plays that could have changed the outcome had they been different. But looking at this game, look at all of these:

    - If Boz wasn't hurt, I'm sure we kick that FG.
    - If TJ doesn't hold, we stop them on 4th down.
    - If we score instead of letting them get the goal line stand.
    - If TJ falls on the fumble instead of trying to scoop and run.
    - If we catch even half of the drops.
    - If Spillane doesn't get hurt, the D communication remains intact and is more effective.

    A dash of bad luck, mixed with questionable play calling, combined with terrible execution = loss.

    Spillane was huge, they started moving the ball at will after that.

    Agree though, any number of those could have led to a win.

    Forgot about the REf's extremely bad calls. I'm not usually one for blaming the Ref's but this crew was a special kind of stupid. The call that led to the field goal was absolutely a game changer. It changed the momentum of the game. Instead of a team getting shut out they got on the board going into the second half getting the ball with momentum. Then there's the fair catch call that even though we recovered the ball it still should have had a completely different outcome.

    And lets not just assume the kicker was the reason we didn't go for field goals. Tomlin has been going for it on 4th down alot lately and coming up short.

    I'm not mad because I expected it. I was more made about barely beating the Ravens practice squad. Washington have a great d-line and defense. Writing was on the wall. Everyone saw this coming except the people in charge with the Steelers apparently.

    you are not happy? I think how they respond in the game this week will show where expectations should be

    This guy needs to use his finger tips for ball control instead of this nonsense.

    Not even close, the game didn't mean anything. Now, when it is playoff time that is when you can be disappointed.
