If mccarron could have given just TWO quality quarters we win that game. He didn't. Shame on me for believing Andy would have.
You can also speculate that Jeremy hill fumbled because he was thinking about NE and DEN while I speculate that he could have been overly focused and possibly trying too hard to get the first down to ice the game that he let his guard down on basic ball carrying fundamentals.
I think every year we (meaning us, more than the team) tend to overlook the Steelers because we are wondering if we can win an AFC Championship game in Foxborough. Anyways, I'm surprised you even bothered watching the game if you knew we had no chance to win without Dalton. I hope you weren't too happy when you turned out to be right, though.
Anyways, we can put the "Woulda beaten the Steelers with Dalton" trophy next to the one Palmer shoulda gotten in 2005. Tough luck, I guess.
