Two of them stick out to me.  The WR screen pass and the mid-range TE pass down the middle.  Are there others that we seemed to not defend very well?

The Steelers "Power" run play with the pulling guard and Heath Miller sealing the weak side edge. Seeing that play ran 100 times in one game last season and ALWAYS working really sucked.

I'm not usually the yell and throw stuff at the TV type, but that got me close last season.

If you ask me, both of those scenarios point to one thing, poor LB play.  Weather its not having our best talent on the field, due to injury.  Or an unwillingness to invest in better, overall LB talent, teams will continue to find ways to exploit that weakness.
