Lost starting MLB to suspension.
Lost DE rotation guy to suspension.
Lost rookie DE to injury.
Other than Lee, a suspect LB core.
Our DEs are basically JAGS.
Entered game with half our starting secondary out injured, our best CB.
Lee knocks another CB out of the game, and we have a ps player at CB at crunch time.
The offense turned the ball over for six early in the game.
The coverage units gave Pitt excellent field position twice.
Pittsburg played their best game all season. Ben dropped dimes all game on receivers that had defenders hanging on them, and they made incredible catches, including the first two TDs, both on third downs, both catches that are missed much more often than caught. Bell was incredible.
The officials also hurt us with a roughing the QB call when Ben was being hammered into Durant who's trying to get out of the way and a long INT vs Brown which was ridiculous, not to mention some of the crazy holding calls on our OL when they had their hands inside the pads.
Yet our defense ran around, gave full effort, were physical, got key stops and held a potent offense to FGs. That last drive by Pittsburg was insane, but our defense played well and gave us a chance to win.
I love those guys, but we need the injured guys back soon.
