Dean Pees did a little bit of everything on that final drive. He played zone, press, off, blitzed, bluffed who he was bringing, brought four, and anything you can think of. The defense just got flat out beat. 

Todd Haley just saw a weak link in Wright and went for it. The Ravens pass rush heavy packages (Suggs, Jernigan, Doom, Judon) couldn't get it done.

Offensively, no excuse to get into Steelers territory five times in the first half and get no points. No excuse to start on the forty twice and in the red zone twice and net 10 points. The defense gifted 10 points to the offense, but for the most part, the offense was largely ineffective. They could move the ball, but not finish.

This was a team loss. No unit lost the game. It was both sides of the ball and special teams with that blocked FG.

Great post. Seriously made a case for what cost us the game on both sides of the ball.

Sit the starters against the Bengals! No need to get anyone injured in a now meaningless game...Play the backups

FInd out who wants to play and evaluate the "talent."

 steve smith last game.

Hope he is honest about who had passion for the game and who didn't on this team. If I'm Mr. B I bring him and listen to what he has to say.

Hope SSS speaks his mind about who had the passion this year

Christmas miracle!?

Nope.

Christmas miracle!?

Not having Jimmy saves Pees.

Well that is on the D.

No drops by their WR's either.

Ben is making too many plays. So close.

Wish there was 45 seconds. Dang that FG. Well those of you looking not to blame the defense. Time for the D to step up. O has done their job.

Juice. Running the ball. I lost the lottery.

No holding pls. This going to SSS? Pitta?

Again, they are thin on the line.

Well Perriman made a name for himself.

Aiken is a waste. It's official.

Perriman has to make a name for himself now. Or Camp.

Again, no urgency. So much for 26-24 us.

Well, this drive is the game.

That was a NICE catch.

Thing is, on paper - down Jimmy,  they had the edge all game. Somehow the D held serve, yet the O didn't fully maximize their opportunities when they had them.

Well Joe already looking like he's in a shell.

Again, the Pit D is thin at D line and we can't wear them out huh?

The ship is taking on water. Frankly PIt should have been doing that all game. When the D gave the O any opportunities they squandered them.

Cue the Tucker FG attempt...26-24 us, or 24-23 them. Thanks offense.
