Ryan Clark, Troy Polamalu, and Ike Taylor....how on earth do you allow that first touchdown to Green. Two of our best DB's and Clark around that ball and it still get's completed.
That wasn't a lazer throw that Dalton threw. That was a floating duck that Green had to maneuver to get to the ball. Clark was absolutely pathetic on that play.
I have a few complaints. The first one is that there was barely any pressure on they're QB at all and we didn't have a single sack. Even though we did send the house a couple of times, we still need to get sacks and with Woodley returning after the bye, we should be seeing more sacks. Next, our offense line didn't play good today and allowed five sacks I believe. Kemo is starting to get on my last nerve, he seems to be letting defenders by him without a problem even though hes our best pulling guard for the run. Then, our third down defense still struggled today even though it wasn't as bad as compared to last week. Finally, something I've been complaining about for a while and that's redzone scoring, that needs to improve.
Why are people complaining about the red zone offense? They were a Heath Miller penalty away from being 4 for 4 TDs today...
Absolute refusal to put teams away before the final minutes, the offense between the go ahead TD and the game-ending offensive drive, the offensive pass interference penalty at the end of the 1st half
Not too much to complain about..
As mentioned, Troy flat-footed on the Green touchdown.
Offensive with three consecutive 3-and-outs when another TD or field-goal would have sealed it.
Pass-Rush could have been better.
But a win's a win. I don't think there'll ever be a week without something to complain about.
I just want to play one clean game. I know it isn't easy but for once, let's not turn the ball over or have penalties take away points. The INT was a fluke but it's dumb stuff like that which makes it difficult to put teams away.
That once again I didnt get a steelers game broadcast down here and I have to rely on internet reports for an insight.
I would love to see footage of how Cortez Allen is playing ( according to some reports he is really stepping up and showing potential of being a good CB)
I would love to see the weekly development of Antonio Brown, as he sounds like he is going to be the man who steps up with Mike Wallace to give the steelers that real 1-2 punch not seen for a long time at WR position.

This. This. and more this.
While everyone rolls their eyes at Arians criticism (and I agree for the most part), this has always been my biggest.
I am sort of willing to buy that this style of offense is the wave of the future, but you have to put a team away. You have to return the favor and bail out a struggling defense that has been bailing you out for half a dozen years now.
It was sad watching the Seachickens close out the Ravens on offense yet we have had 4 chances in the last 2 weeks and couldnt.
Zero complaints, I only wish we had a couple of sacks to put Dalton in check, lol. But then again Bungles O'line played well to be honest.
Lost among any complaints is that the D did not have a 4th quarter let down.
Merry Christmas
After watching the play for about the 100th time I got a new theory on why Troy didn't make a play on the ball that A.J. Green caught for the touchdown on. I think he thought that Clark had a better play on the ball, and didn't want to break up what he saw as a good interception opportunity. Almost every NFL game you see one defensive back jump into a play where his teammate has a clear path to the ball and what would have been an easy interception turns into a harmless incompletion and the other team comes back the next play and converts a 3rd down and you end up giving up the touchdown a few plays later. Anyway I just get this sense after watching it the umpteenth time that Troy took a calculated gamble and thought that if he left the play alone that Ryan clark gets the interception in the end zone, thus ending the threat.
Looking again on the one angle you can see Troy's eyes mark Clark's point on the field, and then he pulled up on the play. Clark did an Ike, and mistimed and misplayed the ball in the air. If you switched positions and put Troy where Clark was he gets hands on the ball without question.
