Direct TV goes down in the rain.

Google hasn't gone down yet this season. It was a little laggy earlier but it's been fine for the last 35 minutes.
Not for me. Pausing frequently.

My satellite signal only goes away in extreme weather.

Then again, I wish I had missed that absurd PI call and Mac’s pathetic pick.

Waiting for certain posters to come in and tell us that Mac actually had a good half and it should be 14-10 at minimum if not for the pick.
Mac was pretty bad. That TD pass was nice, but that interception was inexcusable. He also didn't step up in the pocket (more than once) when he could have. He hit some nice slants, but pretty much every QB in the league can do that. So overall, pretty bad half of football.

Game isn’t even that lopsided. Each QB had a bad pick. The difference is they can overcome 3d and 15s. If our defense could have gotten off the field on one of those fourth downs, it’s a close game.

Overlooked, but Pop saved 4 points taking on a huge dude and forcing Ramsay out of bounds.

Pittsburgh had a disastrous end to the first half. Pickett went down on a heavy hit, then they had a FG wiped off the board by an offensive offsides call

This team once went to the AFC Championship Game with the late Reche Caldwell as their best receiver. Obviously having better skill players would help Mac but he is so dumb, slow, and chicken-armed even if they had better weapons how much different would their record be?

Isn't this the story every week though? We need the defense to play elite every series or we have no chance. Scoring 7 points in a half isn't going to cut it and that was a direct result of the defense causing a turnover.

We're basically Cinderella, we got to the ball last week and then turned back into a pumpkin this week.

Oh boy, you're just asking for the whole "defense was winning those games in 2006" spiel even though they were 5th in the league in offensive points per drive.

Yeah, because the QB could overcome difficulties. Brady was a cheat code, Mac is a boat anchor.

I’m just saying I haven’t lost hope on this game yet. Yeah, maybe they march down and make it 24-7, and it is game over, but I see some reasons to be hopeful that maybe we get a muffed punt or a bad pitch to make it a one-possession game late.

6 first downs and 106 total yards. The O has reverted back to their horrific mean.

It is what it is. Everything about the O is broken.

D has been decent but Mac has been terrible, and by terrible, meaning he makes the type of mistake that neither he nor this team cannot overcome. Tua’s mistakes can easily be made up by Tua himself and / or the rest of the offense. Mac’s simply not good enough (to make the mistakes he consistently makes).
