With that said, WE HAD THE LEAD LATE against the Steelers and squandered it. We found a way to lose.
Do you think with Dalton that we would have got out to so big of a lead that we couldn't lose it. Simply put: We don't beat good teams in big games. That includes Dalton. The Steelers do. Dalton ends up throwing interceptions at costly times in big games.
You can What if? that game all you want...but the Roethlisberger has 2 Super Bowl wins and appeared in 3....and we haven't won a playoff game in 26+ years.
Also last year, we started 8-0 and went 4-4 the 2nd half of the year. I could go on and on about how we were trending down.
Just two weeks ago....Pig Pen threw THREE INTs and they still trounced Buffalo. You shouldn't ALWAYS lose just because your QB throws a pick. The problem here? We're not well coached and are therefore mentally weak and crumble at the first sign of adversity. We did the same shit when Palmer was here. We always blame a fumble or an INT when it's mental and situational weakness. Coaching sucks. Period.
