Monday's Game Showed A Lot Of Flaws, But None Bigger Than Play-Calling!

What were they thinking? The Pittsburgh Steelers were losing 23-7 early in the 4th quarter and lined up to go for it on the Colts 26 yard line. What play would you call to make 4 yards and a 1st down to keep the drive going? Through the course of the game, running backs Willie Parker, Jerome Bettis and Duce Staley had little success. There was success with the tight end, screen passes and quick throws to the wideouts. Taking that into consideration, the best call would be a "quarterback draw"?!!! There goes any chance of getting back into the game. Where did that stroke of genius come from. If the Colts could have called a play for the Steelers, I'm sure they would have sent a banged up Ben Roethlisberger up the middle on a draw. Get the rest of the story.

I was astounded that your coaching staff called an onside kick to start the second half--that right there said you were giving up against my Colts.
