No, it is quiet. Is it better or worse this way? I can't decide.

Ahmed FG attempt from the 46 was tipped and missed wide right. Pittsburgh still not on the board.

Half time 16-0 Panthers.

Bad clock management at the end of the half. Panthers were in easy field goal range, but they let the clock tick down to zero.

Some God awful coaching by Pittsburgh. A 59 yard field goal when a 57 came up 4 yards short? So many 4th and 2, 3s where they just punt it away instead of going for it. Throw a deep ball or 2, you're down 16.

Punt and kick coverage is kind of awful in so many of the USFL games. Many blocked kicks all round.

Wonder if Jason Garrett would be interested in being on the sidelines rather than the booth next year..
