Iggy,

In terms of what might or might not be a big mistake, the PA Pass is not exactly an egregious error. You've got a great passing game with big targets like Hines and Heath Miller.

I think you're missing what I'm saying. The Steelers come off of a game where they completely destroyed one of the best defenses in the league from constant pounding of the ball. They got back to "Steelers Football", something they were missing during that 3-game slide.

All week you hear about how they're going to pound the ball against Minnesota like they did Chicago. There's nothing more demoralizing to a defense than when they know you're running, yet they can't stop you because you just keep pounding them with it. This is Steelers football.

Steelers football is not calling a PA pass on 2nd and goal in the beginning of a game. There's nothing demoralizing there, there's no pounding. That's not Steelers football. When they lose their identity, they lose games.
