Steelers Super
The Pittsburgh Steelers laid another egg, this time against the horrendous Oakland Raiders, losing 27-24 on a late touchdown after taking a 24-20 lead with less than two minutes to go in the game.
The Steelers are now 6-6 and have lost four games in a row, including to really, really bad AFC West teams, the Kansas City Chiefs (also 27-24) and now the Oakland Raiders.
With their schedule, Pittsburgh shouldn't have had a problem making the playoffs this year and taking a shot at defending last year's Super Bowl title. Now, it will be difficult for them to even make the playoffs, let alone make another run at a Super Bowl title.
The vaunted Steelers defense isn't what it used to be. They don't make big plays (zero interceptions by their cornerbacks this year) and they don't make big stops at all.
The Bengals had an eleven play drive to secure a win with a field goal after a nine play drive to kick the go ahead field goal.
The Chiefs went 91 yards in 8 plays to score a touchdown and force overtime (where they won on a field goal).
The Baltimore Ravens went 10 plays in one minute and forty seven seconds to score a touchdown with nine seconds remaining.
The Steelers took a 24-20 lead on the Raiders with 1:56 remaining in the game. Pittsburgh then let the Oakland Raiders, yes the OAKLAND RAIDERS, march down the field and score the winning touchdown.
The Steelers defense has let them down this year and I don't know that it can be righted in time to make a run at the playoffs, let alone a run in the playoffs.
One last note. Pittsburgh safety Troy Polamalu has missed seven games due to injuries this year and the Steelers have lost six of them. I ask you, can one player on defense really make that much of a difference?
Maybe Troy should get the MVP this year, even though he hasn't played much. After all, the Steelers are 1-6 without him and 5-0 with him. That's not only valuable. That's indispensable.
