Thats why you play four quarters. Defense was phenomenal. And thats without Tuitt. Ingram was a huge pickup. Pierre with a big play led to the block punt later that drive. Offense will have growing pains up front but played better in the 2nd half. I start Banner over Chuks when healthy. He moves people in the run game

1-0 in an extremely tough game
I need Najee to go off next week though on a lesser defense.
Big looked a bit flabby at times too

Thus going to be the way we win games because of that line. They played better in the 2nd half so I hope thats a sign of things to come
Not good. Spillane looked like shyt in the preseason. Offense gonna have to put up points today
Absolutely dumb to throw the ball in that situation. Now Diontae is hurt and we play a divisional opponent next week

From the punting on 4th and 1 to that dumb ass play call with 20 seconds left...stupid shyt

The steelers are in a rut where they keep overachieving with Ben, which is holding them up from a true rebuild.

• I can't recall any recent loss in which Tomlin was as broadly buried by the fan base -- social media, etc. -- for something that made zero impact on the outcome.
Meaning, of course, his call to punt in the fourth quarter.
To review: The Steelers faced fourth-and-1 at their 34 with 8:36 remaining and the Raiders leading, 23-14. So two scores were needed.
We can agree on that much?
OK, cool. Now forget that Carr was cutting everyone apart. And that Najee and the running game were averaging 2.8 yards per carry. And anything else that isn't something that actually occurred next.
Which was this: Pressley Harvin III boomed a 58-yard punt that pinned the Raiders way back at their 8. And after an 11-yard run, they went three-and-out and punted. The Steelers took over at their 32 with 5:51 remaining.
We can agree on that, as well, I'm sure. These are just facts.
So, sticking with facts: What was lost?
Yep. Two yards and 2:45 off the clock.
Next, the Steelers moved 30 yards, and Chris Boswell kicked a 56-yard field goal to trim the Raiders' lead to 23-17. Or one score. With nearly six minutes available to get the next.
I'll ask again: What was lost?
I get that the head coach isn't popular with some fans. I get that he's outright hated by some fans. I get that he's won three playoff games in the past decade. I get that he doesn't excel at everything and, on this day, he and his staff made what I felt were real and costly mistakes.
Citing this punt as one of them only cheapens any general anti-Tomlin argument, as it has no basis in fact. It made some fans angry in the moment, and it apparently was so angry that they didn't eventually notice it had zero impact on the outcome.
