The 95 yard TD pass sums up this team perfectly. Lazy, uninspired football. Just awful all the way around.

The division standings will look like this:

Baltimore 8-8
Steelers 8-8
Bengals 7-8-1
Browns 1-16 (they will beat the Steelers in Cleveland)

Mike Mitchell is the hardest hitter on the team. Unfortunately, he can't tackle anyone that is moving. He must have arms that less than 12" long. He gets stiff-armed to death.

I don't like to jump on the fire-the-coach bandwagon prematurely, but coming out like this after a bye week is pretty disappointing, to say the least.

Not having a competent backup in years should get Colbert fired too.

4th and 18 and throw it 10 yards out of the end zone. Sweet play.

The onside kick reminded me of one of Fleury's patented mishaps.

Todd Hayley is a good place to start. The sooner they realize the offense's success is in spite of him, the better.

Ugh, one of the worst Steeler losses in a while. Two rookies (Prescott and Elliott) + an anemic Steeler defense did them in.

Wasted a Ben 4th quarter comeback.

This defense sucks. Just outright sucks. Haven't seen anything like it in years.

That play.... that play .... that play infuriated me. Cockrell still hasn't seen the ball.

Our secondary is just awful.

Do you get as many points for time-of-possession in football as you do for shots-on-goal in hockey?

Coates has been garbage tonight. If he's out there he should be able to catch balls broken fingers or not. Otherwise bench him and get WR #15 out there for Ben to make a star like every other random guy the last decade.

The secondary continues to struggle.

On the bright side, Steelers played 3 rookies on defense against the Colts last night.

Anyone keeping a tally of excessive celebration penalties against AB? Thinking Coach Tomlin isn't keeping track either.

You would think Aikman would hate the Giants but he refusing to see their penalties. Harrison almost has his helmet ripped off to probably save a fumble in the end zone and he doesn't see holding.

Just because a screen on 3rd and 17 worked doesn't mean it wasn't an incredibly stupid play to run.

Congrats to Mr. Bell, now the holder of the Steelers' single game rushing record.

Be glad we are Steeler fans, as opposed to say .... Buffalo Bills fans. Funny article in the Buffalo News following the Steeler victory.

"Right on schedule, weeks before Christmas, the Buffalo Bills' season is over. ..... Reports fluttered Sunday like the snowflakes around New Era Field, where the Pittsburgh Steelers left cleat marks on the organization's forehead."

In the drivers seat completely now for the division. Really need to win the next two games and that would clinch it being up two with one game to go. Although losing next week wouldn't be the end of the world, just need to beat Baltimore and then Cleveland, still think that clinches.

But have to beat Baltimore on Christmas.
