Steelers coach Mike Tomlin had no trouble working up a good case of anger Sunday. "Hacked off," he described himself. Of course, he was. He had just watched his defense blow a four-point lead in the final 68 seconds, saw his offense waste two scoring opportunities after turnovers, watched kicker Jeff Reed miss two field-goal attempts that he normally drills, saw too many of his guys show a disappointing lack of poise and intelligence by taking bad penalties and watched the whole bunch of 'em lose a division game that was there for the taking at Heinz Field against the Baltimore Ravens, 17-14.

But I have to be honest here this morning. I'm having a hard time being mad at the fellas even though it wasn't any fun watching them lose to the hated Ravens. Nor should you be mad. The Steelers are 3-1 and share first place in the AFC North Division with the Ravens despite playing the four games without suspended quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. I'm thinking they've done pretty well.
