The officiating

I agree with almost all of that.
 
Haley and/or Tomlin have to share some of the blame for their ultra-conservative play-calling earlier in the fourth quarter. The Steelers had the ball and a 24-16 lead. A holding penalty on Alejandro Villanueva put the Steelers in second-and-20 from their own 28, and rather than try to get a first down, the Steelers basically gave up on the drive. They ran the ball up the middle twice for 5 yards, then Roethlisberger threw a short, safe pass to Martavis Bryant for 6 yards. The Steelers were forced to punt.

this was the biggest fail on the Steelers part outside adjusting for Gronk.

but not taking the refs out of the equation because they played a significant part.

But to avoid the refs being able to decide the outcome, you need to keep your foot on the gas pedal on O and on D tweak the Gronk coverage.....

I thought Hilton looked ok on him?
