Yeah, when that happened, I had a bad feeling that it was going to set the tone for the rest of the game. It was very reminiscent to me of the bad snap on the first play of Super Bowl XLVIII that set the tone for Peyton Manning and the Broncos getting dominated by the Seahawks. My only comfort was that after falling behind 28-0, the Steelers didn't completely roll over and go away quietly. Mike Tomlin's bad coaching shined through though when he decided to punt the ball on 4th and 1 at midfield down by two scores and only 15 minutes left to play. Still, it's the way I foresaw the season ending months ago, with not having a marquee halfback rendering Big Ben needing to throw almost 50 times a game to receivers he has mostly only played with this season (aside from JuJu). Losing Bud Dupree on December 3rd was also a big loss to the defense and pass rush for the rest of the year. |
Are you seriously complaining about missing players? Did you even follow how depleted the Browns were against the Steelers? No. You don't get to make excuses this time XD |
No, no, no, the main crux of all of my complaints about the Steelers this year have hinged around the team being mismanaged to the point of not addressing Le'veon Bell's departure after his 2018 holdout. Pittsburgh ranked 32nd out of 32 teams in rushing this year, averaging just 84 yards per game. I said that was going to be a problem in December and the postseason, and it was. Not taking anything away from what the Browns accomplished under the circumstances they had to play under in any way. Just frustrated with the mismanagement of my own team, as I feel that Big Ben's best and last years are being wasted.
