Is it safe to say now that both of our teams are pretty god-awful?

I know mine is. Backing into the playoffs. Great.

How bad was it yesterday? I went to the grocery store instead of watching the 2nd half.

Considering how two of the guys now starting in our Dime were cut from the practice squad 14 days ago, we actually played fairly well in the second half. Had Antonio Brown not fumbled a nicely executed punt return with the Steelers up by 7, the game probably would not have gone into overtime; Romo's hot hand went cold in Q4.

That all said, I'd love to win out and at least get to the playoffs, but we have zero chance against anyone but the Ravens, and that game would probably, as usual, be a nailbiter decided by 3 points or less. Even if Ike gets healthy, our front seven is anemic and our O-line is not even NFL, let alone playoff, calibre. Ben will get the blame for throwing behind the receiver on the 2nd play of OT, but the truth is that any other QB in the league except RGIII and one or two others would have been sacked 9 or 10 times instead of just thrice. Rushing? 1.8 yards per carry for 67 yards. Take away a 22 yarder by Redman and it's even uglier. Definitely not Steeler football.

Maybe next year.
