    How many times did the Steelers fumble tonight?
    We didn't recover one of them.

    Suppose the fumble in the end zone was recovered for a TD?

    Suppose Revis didn't drop the interception?

    Suppose we came up w/ one or two of the tipped balls?

    Two unrecovered fumbles and a dropped Wilson int helped the Steelers take extra 3 mins off the clock.

    No one talking about this

    Suppose my uncle had tits, then he'd be my aunt.

    Championship teams make big plays in big games when it matters most.

    Suppose Rothelisberger got arrested midway through the game?

    The only big play of those you're mentioning is the Revis dropped pick, because they scored on that drive.

    This is what I mentioned earlier. The steelers tried to give us the game. We just didn't want it bad enough to take it. But man if Wilson had caught that ball.... We would have had it inside their 30, if Wilson doesn't find a way to score. Thats the one that hurts the most.

    No the Wilson drop/ Westerman penalty cost us 5 running plays from scrimmage (nearly 3 min off clock and 40 yards difference). We ended up with it on the 14 and went 3 and out. We would have had it in Pitt territory.

    The Harris drop that E. Smith got called for the penalty also cost us 5 plays and 25 yards of field position in the 1st half-- would have had it in Pitt territory instead of at the 35 YL.

    And the combination of those 3 in terms of TOP, field position, points, and momentum of the game was collectively huge.
