I remember the Oilers well, was always amazed that a guy like Earl Campbell could have thighs that big, and still be fairly quick. See, that's the problem with playing the Steelers; there ALWAYS is a phantom call of some sort, or any number of creative ways to lose. While that call was a big problem, no halftime adjustments ( or adjustments to those made by Pittsburgh ) in the second half was the real problem. Played the first half like Tigers, the second half like Kittens....again. If they're gonna crash and burn completely (and they will) no reason to hope someone bails them out now. That, and if they did win the rest of their games and somehow get into the playoffs, it would inevitably signal that yet again, Marvin is back, and we sure as hell don't need that. We have a really decent team, we need a coach who's a real leader, and Marvin ain't it, imo.
Hmm. That got me to thinking. I've already stated to Steelers fans, in the past, "tell me about the time you lost a game because of a bad officiating call". To the best of my knowledge, it literally hasn't ever happened. Unless someone can remember something i can't. None of them have ever been able to tell me.
Besides that, thinking smaller, when is the last time a Pitt touchdown (esp an important one) was called back because of a penalty--against the Bengals, in the last 10 years or so?
You'd think, at some point, they'd be affected by the zebras. No?
