A pick six!

A fumble return for a touchdown after a strip.

A return kick or punt for a score.

A blocked kicked for a score

With the Offense in doubt, I think one of the above four things ( or at least two turnovers ) has to happen for the Steelers to win.

I don't see any of those things happening.
The D has been pretty good lately at not allowing a lot of points but I think INT's and turnovers are a bit much to ask.

Manning could help us out a bit.
 
I see some apple turnovers from our D
 
Well, the special teams are doing everything wrong so far. Let's hope they don't lose the game.

Coaching isn't helping either. A bomb in 4 and 1? Could have had a Fg

That was on Ben; Heath was wide open on a drag and should have been thrown the ball. The Steelers don't need Ben to prove he can throw it down field.

First look was covered. Heath was open but Ben didn't see him, not on the coaches.

But the defense has done their part, but not the special teams.
 
The punter was HUGE is deciding this game. I never thought I'd ever see a punter that was pretty decisive in about 9 points. Not a good time to forget how to kick.
 
We needed a. spark from our defense or special teams today he didn't get it.defense needs an identity and it still don't have one.

The wind was a factor too. It made for a bad ball game all around from a strategic stand point. The Steelers just didnt have enough to overcome
 
Weird game.. We should have won. It was like we didn't know how... Like a teenager on his first date with all the young guys on defense and so many hurt on offense. Would like to have seen Ben carry these young guys a little further... But We took more steps forward this year than backwards. the defense is a good draft away from being "rebuilt". Bet we see a safety is the first round.. Go steelers!!!
 
We win this game if we have AB. We spank them if we have Williams at RB as well. We gut them like deer if we have Bell at RB. This team was a draft away from a great defense. This draft they have to hit on a corner,safety, NT and maybe a pass rusher. If we can rush the passer everything else looks better in the secondary.

The injuries make the entire season frustrating, but even more so because if they pull this one and get AB back next week, anything could happen. And to think, just a few years ago and AB would have been on the field with no questions asked.
 
Two straight games where we give up double digit points and lose leads in the 4th quarter, bad coaching decisions, going against a strong wind today and bad play err s playing, Jarvis and Blake, typical Tomlin.

Your comment about the double digit points is absolutely hilarious. It's about as vague as a comment could be. So you expect a defense to give up no more than 9 points on a game-to-game basis? And, to be quite honest, jones and Blake played pretty decent today. Believe it or not, Brandon Boykin was victimized for 31 yards on a 3rd and 13 in the 4th quarter.
 
We gave manning to much time on their TD drive, especially on that 3rd and 12, we sat back and gave him the middle of the field
