So many of us wrote the Steelers off in the outrageously horrendous second quarter. I advocated pulling Big Ben.All of that was justified.
But at half time, the team made adjustments.The offense played smarter so Ben could just pass - except for the times he ran, and god bless him for that. It made my ankle hurt.
The defense had some moments.
And I'm not making excuses, but we played without a lot of our best players, and lost more as the night wore on.
I'm a proud Steeler Gurl. They looked bad at times, but they stayed in the game. The final score isn't an embarrassment. I hope all the injured players heal quickly and thoroughly. And I'm looking forward to next season.
Go Stillers 'n at!
But Steeler Gurl isn't done yet! Stay tuned to Radio Free Max for commentary throughout the playoffs, and even the off-season!
Nice run, guys!
This is what a HS coach of my acquaintance said about the last play: Ryan Mundy bit on a run fake that he shouldn't have. It left Ike Taylor in single coverage on a guy he was expecting (and entitled to expect) double coverage on, i.e., he was playing him outside expecting help inside. Looks like the absence of Ryan Clark might have been most telling. We'll get 'em next year.
