seriously, it was very frustrating

except for the turnovers,the Steelers have always had a dreadful field position for the entire first half

it was a problem in 2011 and yesterday it was almost worse than the game against the 49ers last year....I hope it will not be a problem again this year because this is very frustrating

Punters always seem to have career days against the Steelers. I don't get it.

Yep, that always seems to be the case. Not sure why.

I'm not denying that, however, it seems like it always happens no matter who we're facing. It just seems like we're always faced with crappy field position.

I'm assuming that's part of the reason Everest was let go.

I was at the game yesterday, eleven rows up from the end zone the Steelers offense couldn't move the ball from. Watching it live was frustrating.

For the life of me, I couldn't figure out why the Steelers wanted to receive the ball first. Of course Buffalo was going to pick the side of the field without the sun blinding the offense. The sun was out in full force and was that bad in the first quarter.

Its a vicious cycle. You can start by the lack of blocking and return opportunities in Punt Returns, then the lack of the offense to move the ball effectively, poor punts, and the defense allowing the chains to be moved once or twice, and THEN getting the stop, leading into a short punt for the opposing team. Aaaand repeat.

It's honestly a good bit of the reason we suffered in the scoring department. We obviously moved the ball well...but our field is longer than most. It needs rectified...

If only the game was played by second and third stringers.

I just means we have a better bench than they do...

The score was NO indication of how the game was. The 1st teams played each other pretty close and hard. It wasn't until the 2nd and 3rd teams came in that it got out of hand.
