Yeah, Edge needed more carries. Not giving Edge enough carries let Pittsburgh get after Manning in the first quarter, and the fourth quarter. When Manning gave Edge the ball, he had all sorts of time to throw.

I don't know why the Colts Pass defense was so soft early on. The Chargers like the Steelers came out firing early, before the Colts defense clamped down, and got a lot of points. This Colts defense is very good, and I don't understand how they give up so many points early through the air. Something Dungy will have to work on during the offseason.

Bill Cowher is too conservative. That clock-killing drive where the Steelers converted two fourth and 1's was huge, both correct calls by Cowher, but a single play-action, and the Steelers go up by two scores, and the Colts can't come back.

As bad as all-pass is, which is what the Colts did throughout this game, all-run is just as bad, at least when there are more than 5 minutes left in the game.
