Game Goat/Game Ball

[Psycho Ward 86]

*sigh* last one of the season fellas, but might as well. My game goat goes to Ike for getting nailed on so many double moves and allowing Demaryius Thomas to go over 200 freakin' yards. Still love you though. game ball to Isaac Redman. What a great effort, so many 3rd and short conversions and 3 big runs. Kid is going to give Mendenhall a run for his money.

Great season guys, it's been a fun ride.

[JayC]

offtopic but anyone know what draft pick are we? I assume either 21, 22, 23, 24

goat: secondary

[SMR]

No brainer.

Ike.Taylor.

[polamalubeast]

I love Ike Taylor but.....

[katmandu]

Goat was Ike for getting his ass burned so often tonight. I'd like to hear his post game comments.

Redman is the real deal and I agree, he gets the game ball tonight.

[steelreserve]

Ike Taylor. Not even close.

[Devilsdancefloor]

Ike

game ball redman

[Edman]

Does it even matter at this point?

We we embarrassed by a subpar QB playing in his first postseason game. NO GAME BALLS.

We should be 24th. goat Ike, game Isaac. Our attitude in general needs to get ramped up. Can't play Steelers football without intensity. We lacked it way too often this year.

[zulater]

Ike clearly was the goat.

[Steeldude]

game balls to redman and polamalu

goats to most of the remaining team with taylor being the leading vote getter

[GoSlash27]

Game ball goes to Redzone Redman. My goat is Ryan Mundy. Ike looked horrible, but that'll happen when the deep cover guy shits the bed. Ryan Clark is an elite player who doesn't get the credit for what he makes happen.
If Mundy is in position and trustworthy, Ike wouldn't be playing soft.
My $0.02

[Dino 6 Rings]

Goat = entire 53 man roster and entire coaching staff

Gameball = Tim Tebow

[steeler for life]

Demarius Thomas 5 receptions 204 yards how can that be possible definitly ike Taylor was burned al the game, too many drop passes in the beginning, tomlin is a hard head always reach the playoff with a lot of injuries issues he coulded rested a lot of starters once he knew they were playoff bound is better a healthy road team than a hurt local team this team has proven before they handle playoff road games I hope top management. Realizes tomlin is very inexperienced ,though he has a monster that is going to win often ,this are the teams that well coached can become a dinasty right know they are not acheiving that because of poor coaching time will pass and nothing will be gain if changes are not made in time

i give Mundy a pass for his 2 forced fumbles

[steelerdude15]

Game goat goes to Ike, but the game ball goes to Ben.

[zulater]

Game goat also has to go to Max Starks. Chidi was right, he really did hurt us today. Right up until he was benched anyway.

[BlastFurnace]

Game Goat: LeBeau

Game Ball: Redman

yes so far...however they could be bumped higher when/if the Broncos/Texans/Giants loose...as all the playoff teams besides the SB teams get ordered based on record. It would be nice to be right around 24-26 but we'll see.

[steeldevil]

Goat: LEBEAU, Ike

Ball: Redman

24 would be nice, we could get a premium guard there, and still a good tackle if available

[7willBheaven]

Goat - the D including the D coaches

Ball - Redman

[st33lersguy]

Game ball: Ben and Redman. Ben was a soldier and great with a bum ankle and Redman ran hard.
Game goat: Entire defense, no pass rush, and allowing a boat load of deep bombs

Ditto on this. The team now only has 9 months to correct everything...

[NCSteeler]

Seriously Tebow? How about waiting till someone makes him throw a pass into coverage.

Gameball-Demarius Thomas
Goat- Ike Taylor

Ike may have had money on this game because that was easily his WORST professional game

[Austin87]

Goat goes to Ike.

Gameball goes to Redman. This guy needs to be a bigger part of the offense come next season.

[XxKnightxX]

[HometownGal]

Game Goat plain and simple: The INJURY BUG.

Game Ball definitely goes to Redman. Great job young man. :applaudit:

[steeler for life]

I bet you my overall English is better than your Italian Mr. Xx knight xx

Pick the goat in this picture http://hosted2.ap.org/CBImages/?media=photo&contentId=2560609fe811c100030f6a706700415e&fmt=jpg&Role=Preview&reldt=2012-01-09T01:30:37GMT&authToken=eNoFwrENwCAMBMCJLL2N%2fYaCYSJkJLqUKRg%2b urv1TTan5rAOAxB03HWmBUGMLdVVZSkgaNjCJ8EEXKPueaeo90 gL8%2fwB6XYSww%3d%3d

[ALLD]

Ike may have been believing his own hype too much with all the tv interviews. He is the goat.

Redman, Brown, Miller and Ben kept us in the game, but Redzone gets the game ball.

[Godfather]

I think they changed that a couple of years ago, so now the non-playoff teams are 1-20, the wild card losers are 21-24, etc.

[Carolina Steelers]

Goat: Ike Taylor,then he got straight stiff armed around 50 in OT got to make tackle

Game Ball: Redman, and Big Ben made some throws in 2nd half

[vader29]

Game ball to Redman.

Goat obviously to Ike.

Honorable mention for goat to Farrior for calling tails in the overtime.
:sarcasm:

[XxKnightxX]

I bet you my overall English is better than your Italian Mr. Xx knight xx

I seriously hope English isn't your first language, because it isn't mine my friend. Ive only been in this country for 13 years and I think Ive done pretty well to master the English language.

[zulater]

No game balls in a loss. But Steelers players that deserve singling out for a job well done include Heath Miller, Lawrence Timmons, Isaac Redman, and Antonio Brown.

Goats include Ike Taylor, Dick LeBeau, and Mike Wallace who's drop of a 52 yard pass was huge.

[ALLD]

Did the Steelers get the ball back in OT? I missed that part of the game.

[Chidi29]

Did the Steelers get the ball back in OT? I missed that part of the game.

Nope. Broncos scored on their first play.

[Moose]

GAME GOAT-- IKE ( pathetic performance--and of all times, in a PLAYOFF GAME---pathetic, lazy asshole !!)

GAME BALL -- HALF to REDMAN, HALF to ME !! ( for sitting during the whole damn game wondering what the hell is going on, and who in the hell started the rumor that Tebow can't throw 10 yrds !! Of course with our CB's it doesn't have to be an accurate throw.)

[O'Malley]

Goat goes to the whole team... How do you let Teblow pass for 316... Redman was running wild and they went away form it. The last possesion they should have let him run and then kicked the field goal.. Oh well they would have lost next week anyhow.. Half the team is hurt.. Pathetic game though..

[Psycho Ward 86]

consider yourself lucky.

[SteelGhost]

Game Goat: LeBeau

Game Ball: Redman

^This. The great defensive genius laid an egg helped by Ike Taylor

[SteelerEmpire]

I have to give a "special" goat to Harrison. What was the name of that run play that Tebow kept running OVER AND OVER that kept faking out James ? It was like he was a fly that kept bumping into a window trying to get out but just couldn't learn form the last time !?!?!

He was completely lost the whole game. It was embarrassing....
