Like I said, not going for it on 4th and 1 meant that Rex was giving them the respect because they are named the Steelers. If this was the Jags we would a went for it. Treat the Steelers like they are winlesss team because that's what they are. Rex is treating them like the Steelers of the last decade which they aren't.
Great idea if you know you're going to make it, but you don't. So far today both Buffalo and Baltimore have gone for it on 4th and goal from the 1, and both didn't make it. What does that do for momentum?
On Slo Mo replay it looks like Cromartie almost batted that ball into Brown's chest. Oh well, it's weird Steelers are 2-2 on 3rd and long and 0-4 on 3rd and short
Our offense wouldn't feel confident whether its 0 or 3 points. 7 wouldve at least boosted us. 3 clearly didn't.
It gives Pittsburgh the ball on the one yard line facing the best run defense in the league. If we don't get it on 4th and 1, Pittsburgh still has to start on the one.
