That was about as maddening a game as the Steelers have had the last couple years. They came out on the opening drive and marched it down the Bears D for a touchdown, were doing much the same on the subsequent drive until a well-timed hit on Ben Roethlisberger by a Bears lineman forced a duck that was intercepted, sapping the Steelers of the considerable momentum they had going up to that point. Then the rain started, which is always going to complicate things for a team that is depending mostly on the pass. Don't get me wrong, the run game was much improved over last week (108 total yards on 4.8 per carry against the Bears) but it's clear the coaches still don't trust the run blocking in key short yardage situations.So here's a litany of gripes and issues to air before I go drink the pain away.Jeff Reed - About an obvious goat as you're gonna find. For a guy in a contract year, he's not doing much to raise his stock or keep it on par. Remember that last week...
