I would like an official commentary...like offensively where they messed up, defensively...what can they do to correct the mistakes they made?

I think the biggest problem was that they did not run Willie Parker enough. The Ravens ran McGahee last week, which showed the age of the Patriots linebackers. Also, it opened up play action for Boller, who is nowhere near the QB of Rothlisberger. They should have gone to smash mouth football and just crammed Parker down the Pats throats.

Santonio Holmes is obviously still not himself. That allowed the Patriots to key on Hines Ward and limit his effectiveness. Steelers don't have a good 3rd string WR to step to up and fill in. Nate Washington is just mediocre at best.
Willie Parker ran the ball well but seems to have lost his nose for the goal line. (not like LT. LT can smell touchdown from 40 yds out).
Big Ben did not look to Heath Miller often enough.
And finally, the Steelers defense looks anemic without Troy Polumolu in the line-up.
P.S. If Brady - Moss ever run for president... they'll have my vote!

They need to stick to the run game and take chances by blitzing Brady and hope to get pressure where he will make a mistake because that offensive of line gives Brady enough time to pick any defense apart.

nothing really, the media just made a big deal about what one guy said, and made it so the steelers were the "cocky" bunch, and the patriots were gonna "humble" them
its all bs they want the patriots to go undefeated
dont get it twisted patriots are the best team this year but the nfl got a little to do with, also they got a great coach

City Cowgirl, if you showed up the Steelers might have won, because you're a great distraction *wink.

I think the Pats had too many weapons. If you notice, Welker, Moss and Gaffney all had TDs (Moss even had 2).
Maybe it was to shut up that lame person that called the win...?

pats just do that to teams. they get a lead and force them out of their game. it was more about how good the pats are as opposed to how bad the steelers were....um, nice pic cg.

The patriots are cheaters and paid off the nfl to let them win, doesnt matter though the dolphins will beat them and end up being 1-15 and patriots will go 15-1 with there only loss being to the worst team in the league.

They looked solid in the first half, but the Pats, unfortunately, took over in the second half. Boo!!!!
