Ugh! I feel like Charlie Brown when Lucy would pull the football away from him. The turkey was on the table but the Steelers couldn't carve him up. Instead the Raiders carved up the Steelers 34-31. Which brings us to the Good, the Bad and the Ugly.
1)The Good-Ben played another excellent game. He was 36 of 49, for 384 yards, 4 TDs and no INTs. Ben hasn't thrown a pick since the pick 6 in Denver. Also, honorable mention to Heath Miller who was 8 catches for 60 years and 2 TDs. That gives him 4 TDs so far this year. He'd better book his flight to Hawaii for the Pro Bowl.
2)The Bad-Where do I began? Oh, yeah. How about the PENALTIES?!?! 10 for 81 yards. You can't keep blaming replacement refs for your own sloppy play. Another VERY undisciplined game by the Steelers.
3)The Ugly-Is it any wonder that it's the defense? Where is the D these days? 1 sack, 1 turnover doesn't win games. Neither does letting your opponent go 7 for 12 on 3rd downs. You've go to get off of the field against one of the worst teams in the league. The Steelers let the Raiders hang around and got burned by letting them score the last 13 points of the game. The Steelers gave up 5.7 yards per carry against a team that only averaged 2 yards per carry coming into the game. Maybe Dick LeBeau needs to change his schemes since it's clear that these players aren't executing like they should.
Oh well, at least we still have the Pira...., oh crap! Well, there's still the Pen....., oh geez! You've got an extra week this week. Get it together Steelers!!!!!!
