Well, at least Pitt battled back and made it a little interesting late …

Emphasis on little but yeah

Steelers don't do a real good job stopping Henry (I mean most teams don't) - as long as Lamar is on (which he was very early) and the Ravens got out to that early lead, the Steelers stood no chance.

That 3rd TD was a microcosm of the whole game.

That was a lopsided game, never really a contest. It’s what I expected though, the Ravens are just much more talented and explosive and the Steelers O is weak and can’t come from behind. Ravens are very dangerous.

Well hopefully the Ravens are investigated by the NFL for the incident in the 2nd quarter. Steelers should've at least had it 28 to 21...

Death taxes and a Steelers playoff loss.

I am predicting it now. The Steelers will go 9-8 next year. Some how back into the playoffs and lose to the Bengals 35-14 in the wildcard game.

The first half the Bengals will go up 28-0.

Russ only sacked 4 times? I would’ve guessed more, like guessing a jellybean count in a Mason jar

As dumb as this might sound, the Tomlin method of "we're tough and going to beat you up early" method works on mediocre and bad teams, it just doesn't work against good teams. So of course they come out and try to "out tough" the Ravens and get beat up. He's like the opposite of Dan Campbell. Campbell knows his team is tough and does a lot of finesse stuff early and then late he beats the hell out of you. Unfortunately Tomlin doesn't see or like that method, so he gets the same results season after season.

Whatever, the Steelers are the Steelers and Tomlin loves his brand, so here you are. Still good enough to compete, but not good enough to make real noise when this tourney comes along.

Man glad I stayed up for that

 

[FaCe-LeE-uS]

Slow night…..

Uninspired… just like the Steelers

 

[thedddd]

Stayed up? What are you 80, bed time is at 8pm or no pudding the next day?

 

[Pure Steel]

I wisely went out to dinner and had a great meal, drank some good wine and booze…..I knew this game was going to be the end of the season as usual…….I hope they address the glaring issues with this team and turn it around, but it doesn’t seem like winning is their top priority anymore…..

Green Jello Sundays are a serious miss Battle. C'mon now.

Isn't it a bit soon to be putting Dan Campbell on a pedestal?

It's not putting him on a pedestal, it's more how he approaches a game with his team.
