Time remaining isn't irrelevant. The defense didn't do the job but the offense could have done more. All they talked about in the post game against Atlanta was how they didn't want to leave much time on the clock for Ryan to work. They were completely under control on that last drive and had plenty of time.
Not running another play before the 2:00 minute warning was good, even though that dork Fouts was saying "they need to try and run another play before the 2:00 warning"...uhh, duh, they're inside the 40 with 2 timeouts left, no they don't. Running out of bounds and snapping the ball with 15+ seconds left were preventable mistakes that would have caused pitt use their timeouts or allow some time to run off the clock.
