I have yet to see anyone absolve the defense of blame, nor LeBeau.

Ben gets one for that stupid screen play.
But the D, where shall I begin? I know 14-21 3rd downs being converted.

I believe I mentioned the INT being 100% their fault. But I've just had enough of all of the BS the offense gets from the so-called "knowledgeable fans" around here. After that INT, they scored TDs on their next 2 possessions to give them the lead. They were in position to score again but apparently a ref's gaffe prevented them from going for the FG, and they instead had to punt it deep. You'd think the defense could stop the Ravens from going 92 fucking yards, but they didn't. And somehow, we STILL have people here blaming the offense. It's gotten past the point of ridiculousness now.
That pick on the screen was awful, but NO WHERE NEAR as awful as the D.
They LITERALLY let the Ravens get into FG range or deeper on all but 2-3 drives... PATHETIC
"A man's got to know his limitations."
Nevermind. I just hope the defense learns how to finish a damn game, and either rip the WR screen out of the playbook or learn how to disguise it better, because I could see that pick coming a mile away.
As poor as the defense played, one more first down and we put this game away! Apparently the last offensive play there was a miscommunication and Mewelde ran the wrong pattern. I'm guessing if the pattern had been run as Ben expected it's an easy first down. Why do I say this. Because Ben would have tucked the ball and taken the sack or made a short gain to keep the clock moving if the play wasn't there.
"A man's got to know his limitations."
Yea. Not only that but the offense had "nukes" and didn't use them until the 3td. We broke out the same ol' playbook we use all the time against the Ravens for an entire 2 quarters and got stopped. Then, when Ben went "Brady" on em, they couldn't handle it and we took the lead after being down 10 pts ! Our WR's and Ben were better than their DB's. Seeing that, I fault the offense (more accurately Arians) for leaving a boat load of points out there in space.
How about blaming Clark and Gay for dropping easy picks from Flaccid, one of which would have prevented the Ravens first field goal.
"A man's got to know his limitations."
I didn't blame the offense. You're a bit touchy. Face it, there's plenty of blame to go around. It came down to the defense needing to make a stop and they didn't do it. The offense had a chance to ice the game on the previous possession and they didn't do it. Again, plenty of blame to go around. The offense and defense both played better last week against the Pats.
It seems to me like the offense and defense both went back to their old predictable ways this week.
But the kick-coverage unit was sloppy, allowing returns of 45 and 32 yards to David Reid -- each resulting in a field goal.

"A man's got to know his limitations."
the players and coaches on both sides of the ball. i wouldn't be placing the blame on gay only. taylor, lewis and the other DBs were getting burned too.
it was good to have harrison back. he looked rested.

Nov. 07, 2011 1:44 a.m. - by Chuck Finder - Tomlin: Not trying FG was due to 'some hesitation'
Mike Tomlin blamed himself for the field-goal attempt that wasn't in Sunday night's loss to the Ravens. "I accept responsibility," he said. "There was some hesitation on my part. I was concerned (about) that distance [for a 47-yard Shaun Suisham attempt]. I sent the group out there a little late. We ended up with a delay of game." Steelers RapidReports
Nov. 07, 2011 1:40 a.m. - by Chuck Finder - Starks believes FG might have made difference
Shaun Suisham never got set up to try a 47-yard field goal that could have made this a 23-23 game into overtime. “It was well within Shaun’s range,” Max Starks said. “We thought they were going to push the clock -- reset it -- and they didn’t.” The Steelers got a delay penalty and punted instead to the 8-yard line. Steelers RapidReports
Suisham would have shanked that....of course, maybe the Rats, getting the ball back at nidfield, would have scored in one minute, not 2 (since we obviously weren't going to stop them) and we'd have had a minute try and tie it...Tomlin cannot blame himself any farther than allowing a mediocre kicker to be on his roster.

I went to bed last night and all I dreamed about was first a bubble screen that has never work, tomlin softness and lack of aggressiveness for not even trying the field goal , William gay getting beat constantly . But there was a play in the beginning that might affected the final score ,does somebody agree with me on the hit that ray Lewis put on hines was a 15 yarder helmet to helmet that moulded have extended the drive deep and perhaps getting a touchdown. My congratulations to harbough he showed what tomlin lacks even with cundif missing previously a field goal he kept going with the chance of adding points . I truly believe the problem is tomlin. Ps. Bet anyone the league will not fine Lewis on the hines hit
