Pittsburgh's O-Line played absolutely horrendous and most of the team played D-games. Big Ben played very well and was the bright spot for today.
What the hell is wrong with Troy Polamalu? He has not played well all year and continues to miss tackles and take bad angles.
As for Pittsburgh being soft against the pass......where have you been? Pittsburgh had the top passing defense in the league (stat wise coming into this game) and this is the best passing defense they have had in years. Dallas' pass D is 5x as bad as Pittsburgh's. Dallas is a lot more flawed than Pittsburgh is, they've just been getting reprieves when their flaws are exposed.

I am so sick of hearing this BS about stats, what is most important is who have those stats come against.
Name me 1 good QB that pitt has faced? They have faced one good team this year and somehow managed to lose 3 games. They are a product of their schedule and will get dismantled when they play anybody half decent.

Their problem is for the 3rd time this year they suffer a major letdown on the road and play like crap. They are still capable of beating anybody in the NFL when they are on. Strange because they are such a veteran team - they think they can just throw their helmets onto the field and roll and it's not the case. Have to blame part of it on coaching. The 3 games they lost they were not at all prepared to play the game - like they thought they were playing Notre Dame or something
Their main problem is their offensive line. It has gone downhill the last few years. No running lanes for Parker and not enough time for Ben. Mahan taking the place of Harting has been a major downgrade, Faneca is in the twilight of his career, Simmons and Colon are marginal at best...they need to play way better if they want to beat Ind/NE
