We wore black on black and the game was a lot closer than it really was, for reasons unknown.
We set the tone in the beginning of the game with Eifert's 67 yarder, made lovely adjustments for the 2ND half and Gio-van just took over and put a dagger through their hearts. Don't believe we ever lost the lead or momentum, from early on.
Stats and score aside, we drubbed them and it was a superbly played game.
You're right, the orange uniforms were worn during the 2012 game. My bad, but I remember the rest of the game just fine.
I guess my definition and your definition of "drubbing" are not exactly the same. That 2013 home game was a sloppy showing from both teams. How can you throw stats and scores aside? They tell a huge part of the story and it looked to me like we just happened to be the slightly less sloppy team that night. Don't get me wrong, I was ecstatic we beat them at home in a Primetime game but we hardly looked like world beaters and the steelers resembled the Browns all game long.
We won the division in 2013 and the 2013 steelers were one of the worst teams of the Roethlisberger era, yet they still managed to beat the ever loving s*** out of us several weeks later in Pittsburgh. That was the game where the scoreboard didn't tell the whole story. I believe we were down 30-7 going into the fourth quarter yet we lost by a final score of 30-20, making it look way better than it really was.
It's not just about the quarterback, it's not about the overall talent, and it's certainly not about good or bad luck... It's really about the coaching. Pittsburgh has a coach who isn't a complete chicken s*** and Marvin grew up a diehard steelers fan and is now coaching in Cincinnati... You do the math.
