William Gay says young Steelers will be 'hungry and determined' in the offseason

How long will it take William Gay to get over the Steelers’ loss to the Patriots in the AFC championship?

Maybe that question should be asked in the past tense. The cornerback said Monday on the South Side he was over it “by 10 o’clock.”

“You gotta be,” he said.

Gay didn’t express specific reasons why the Steelers were outplayed at Gillette Stadium on Sunday. He simply said, at least four times, some variation on this: The Patriots’ execution and game plan were superior to that of the Steelers.

“We tried to do a lot of things, but the game plan was better than ours, and they executed better than ours,” he said.
