Mill, you could have been more terse. This was a painful game to watch. The outcome never was in doubt but leave it to the Steelers to let this game go down to the wire. Let me acknowledge that the glass is half-full with a win and there were some strong performances (Antonio Brown, Rashard Mendenhall, Brett Kiesel, some of the linebackers). But there were way too many penalties by the offensive line and the defensive line should have given Palko more grief. For the defensive statistics, they should only count half of the turnovers - all of them were easy plays, I think. Still, a win is a win, and the prospect of at least a wild-card spot is becoming more certain.

OMG, what a barf-laden game. This team is going nowhere in the playoffs. By this time in the season, with 10 games under your belt, and you draw a wretched team with a 3rd string QB who gives you two easy ints in the first half, you should be up by at least 3 TD's at the half so the 2nd and 3rd team gets lots of PT in the 2nd half.

Compare us to Green Bay, who draws an up and coming team hungering for respect, on a short week. Game out of reach by midway through the 3rd quarter, go home and eat turkey.

As bad as the execution was, the offensive play calling was complete and total vomit. Eventually, laboring for a weak leader shows up as halfhearted execution.

Gay must be taken lessons from Clark on jumping too early on deep balls? Would have been some entertaining reading On Dick if KC scores TD on that final drive
A good tutorial on how to piss away points and make em play the whole game when even a 10 pt lead in 4th salts it away.

Hey Tourofan - it is what it is. Stillers do the same shit int hese games year after year, game after game. We love them anyhow. Like your wife knows you're nto about to start cleaning up after yourself or putting the toilet lid down, but she stays with you.

It's frustrating and annoying, but it ain't surprising.

Dog of the game was Wallace. His drops were miserable and killer. Totally diff. game if he hauls them in. And the first two were gimmees.

Mike Wallace should have been benched. Starting fights and dropping passes hitting him in a bad spot HIS HANDS should have been enough for any coach with any gonads to sit him on the pine until he shows he ready to play. But wait we have Tomlin who will just look the other way and say nothing. When has he ever got in anyone face and held them accountable? Mill gets on Dick and BA but the problem is really at the top. The guy with the real Wooden Dong award is Tomlin.

I won't get on Tomlin. Guy has been to two SBs already. I watch enough NFL games to know just how wretched so many coaches and teams are. He's one of the very best. magine having Rex, Reid, Turner, Caldwell, Del Rio, Shanahan, etc on the sidelines....

But yeah Wallace needs to get his head on straight.

Just why the frig does Wallace get into a pregame fight vs a team who is nowhere near being a rival? I don't think even Hines ever got into a fight before a game.

Am I the only one who stares at disbelief when Ben actually thinks, for the umpteenth time, that a lineman will jump offside on 4th & 2? Plus, only a frigging rookie would call a timeout IN THE 2ND HALF after such a debacle.

Someone must be really friggin w/ Heath Miller's head: 2 costly penalties in the last 2 gms, an EZ catch turned into an INT vs the Bungles, & dropped balls last nite.

Lastly: How many friggin concussions is it gonna take for Troy to realize he shouldn't go head-first into the knees of 290 lb TE's/Linemen??

Why does Tomlin get a pass? Which is my point exactly, he is always given a pass. There have been plenty of SB coaches that have been given the boot. It is about doing your job now not what have you done. Chuck Noll was shown the door and I am not saying give Tomlin the boot. He needs to be on the hot seat for how this team is playing and how it is coachedthis season. We should be screaming at him not Dick or Bruce.

I blame Tomlin a lot. He is the man in charge and just lets this shit go on all the time. I think back to 2009 and that five game losing streak including loses to scrap teams like Cinci, oakland and the stains, all teams we let stay in the game just like last night but back then we got burned. The bile is rising in my throat as I type. We should of won by 20-25 points last night. The MAIN reason we didn't is because Tomlin did not have them PROPERLY prepared. Just my 2 cents.
Mill dead on as usual.

Wow, thanks Steelers........thanks for, yet again, making a win feel like a loss. Couldn't even score ONE FUCKING POINT in the entire second half against a sack of shitballs like the Chefs? I will also jump aboard the "blame Tomlin" bandwagon, due to multiple coaching errors, and an overall lack of preparedness and motivation in all facets of the game. Only the Steelers can possibly drop in the power rankings after a win, which I see happening this week. This better be some kind of ploy to make the team look dumb and weak, 'cause if it's not.........

The steaming pile of stool of a wasted timeout on 4th and 4 lies entirely on Tomlin, although Ben didn't sell the play at all with his body language or anything resembling a hard count. As Mill said, any person calling themselves an NFL head coach knows you just take the 5 yard penalty and give your punter some room with that kind of field position. The only reason the Steelers win is because the Chiefs actually wanted it less than the Steelers, if that even seems possible. There are only a handful of players that have any intensity at all right now on the field or the sideline. Somebody better check the water cooler for lead poisoning because 80% of the team looks totally lethargic. Cincy will be playing loose next week, pressure is all on the Steelers to prove who is who in the AFCN.
