This game was truly amazing in some ways. H Ward was caught up in a helmet to helmet contact leaving him with a neck injury or maybe a concussion. I am waiting to see if the Commissioner will impose a stiff fine ont Patriot player who did it. If he does not then I have questions.
What I expected resulted. I went to bed after the first half. This morning, when I first got up, I thought there was the possibility that the Steelers pulled it off in the second half, but...
What was wrong with the Steeler defense? I guess I can't say "everything" though that is how it felt. Why: they held the Patiots to 10 points in the first half.
What was wrong with the Steeler offense: the line could not protect Ben at all in the beginning, allowing the Pats to score without Steeler scoring.
What the Steelers usually do to the other teams was done to them last night. The Pats did excellent man to man coverage, staying with Steeler recievers while the Pats receivers were successful.
I hope the Steelers can learn from last night and play much better hereafter. Otherwise, ...
Best
