Who Do You Blame?

Now also agree that Mixon should have scored whenever he could because we had to have it to win. Yet once we were on 3 yard line with first down and well over a minute left on clock it was time to assume we were scoring and at least run play clock down before snapping ball. 

Especially as injured as defense was and the fact the offense was not giving them many breaks in second half moving ball. 

It is what it is and we were close and what I mentioned would only have run another 25 seconds off clock or less. It happens and time to move forward because we have a brutal schedule and can not dwell on losses or we will get buried. 

By letting the play clock run down, the D can pretty gauge their jump. Also going quicker doesn't allow the D to make adjustments to your formation, which Pittsburgh always does late. We caught them off guard.
