The standard is the standard. Shredded on third and long several times in the Lions first drive. I know it's just pre season but this has been a problem for years, not being able to consistently stop third and 6+.
Thank God Harrison isn't human and had a stripped fumble to stop the drive.

Earlier in the pre-season, Tomlin used the phrase "big-time negligence" to describe the Steelers after a rather pathetic performance. He will need to dig deep into the thesaurus to come up description for this game (so far).

Sometimes your team gets the call, sometimes not. There were several penalties calls missed. Oh well, move on.
It's certainly made my day to get this call against the Bengals - they will not move on. They will be whining about this game/call, off and on, until Dec 18.
> Certainly an odd defensive strategery displayed so far this year from what we are used to. Blitzing non-existent. 3 or 4 man rush with some pressure, but not getting to the q-back. Young secondary playing off the receivers. Letting everything go underneath. But 2 wins. Who's to argue?
Rather lose like that than a squeaker where Ben bails out the defense for a respectable loss. Offense will rebound. Time for the defense to not let that game be the playbook for running up scores on the Steelers.
Eagles don't play Ravens and Bengals until December. By then they'll have ten key injuries that make them mortal and easily beatable.
