Thanks for sharing, CB.
I watched 15 minutes of it and in my very amateur opinion, it's obvious that (a) the Steelers win in the trenches on both sides and (b) they're way better coached. They know what we run and how to beat it. On offense, our receivers were well covered. The few times someone was open (such as LaFell on the crosser), Dalton was running for his life. On defense, we ran a lot of cover 2 and some cover 3...and the Steelers had great blocking and ran plays specifically designed to open things up against those defensive looks.
So basically, the problems are what we thought they were. Line and schemes.

The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
