Everyone is focusing on the Pats own miscues and thinking if they hadn't happened they may have won the game. That is true, but you also have to look at the other side of the coin. The Steelers had several drops. these include but not limited to Holmes big drop in the first half, and washington dropping a TD in the 2nd half. They were at least 2 dropped int's as well by the Steelers. This doesn't even mention 2 really bad spots the Steelers received that cost them a first down and probably a TD. Reed also missed a FG.
My point is you can't point out the mistakes on one side and not the other. The reality is the Steelers didn't play as well as they are capable either.

I didn't see the game, but I would assume the Steelers D probably played a good game. Maybe the offense didn't play up to snuff, but it looks like they put up the points when the oppurtunities where there (Pat's fumbles and int's). It was 20-10 before most people were probably back in their seats, and that killer Steeler's defense just pinned back their ears and came after Cassel after they got a 2 score lead. Much easier to take chances on D with a 10 point lead. The Steelers play D the way i wish the Pats did, but also, I don't think the Pats have the talent on D the Steelers do. You are probably right, it could have been much worse, maybe 45-10.
