Hero's and zero's.

[zulater]

Hero. If I'm limited to one. Dick LeBeau.

Zero. No one. We won. :lol:

:wink02:

[tube517]

Heroes: Dwyer, Earl, Ben, Antonio, Woodley

[steelpride12]

Heroes: Dywer, Offense, 2nd half defense, Ike in particular.
Zeroes: ST's.

[Edman]

Heroes:

Willie Colon.
Heath Miller.

Zeroes:

Mike Wallace. This dude isn't worth the money.

[zulater]

Heroes: Dwyer, Earl, Ben, Antonio, Woodley

No Ike?

[polamalubeast]

Ben is not a zero for me,but c'mon....Protect the ball....The interception and the fumble was awful

[st33lersguy]

Heroes: Ben another great day, Dwyer for powerful running, Taylor for airtight coverage on A.J Green, Willie Colon for excellent powerful blocking and NO HOLDING PENALTIES

Zeroes: Limas Wallace and the slabs of concrete at the end of his arms, the return team that only holds anymore

[Shoes]

H: Ben, Brown, Miller, Dwyer....D did a pretty good job including hold-em Ike ( I think he only had 1 hold tonight ) :chuckle:

Z: Wallace

[zulater]

Heroes:

Willie Colon.
Heath Miller.

Zeroes:

Mike Wallace. This dude isn't worth the money.

His last drop may have won us the game!

Seriously, follow this logic. ( or lack thereof) He catches it, the ball's at about the 33. Tomlin correctly goes for the fg, and Sushi misses it! Now they get the ball at the 40 and who knows what?!

:wink02:

[Psycho Ward 86]

Ike, Dwyer, and Colon.

Wallace buddy, 4 drops in one game? FOUR? Just...no.

[zulater]

Ben is not a zero for me,but c'mon....Protect the ball....The interception and the fumble was awful

He didn't have much chance on the fumble. The interception was bad on him though.

[Steeltreal]

Heroes: Dwyer, Earl, Ben, Antonio, Woodley

who is this Earl?

[tube517]

who is this Earl?

Earl "Heath" Miller.

[Iron Steeler]

so many points in the first half left off the board... But all in all happy about the win,

Hero: Ben, Dwyer, HALEY, Heath more so for his amazing blocking tonight

Zero: Most definitely mike wallace.

[steelreserve]

Hero: Dwyer, Ben, DBs

Zero: Wallace


edit: Rainey and Brown were also awesome; too bad half their big plays were wiped out by penalties.

[zulater]

Tomlin deserves credit for going for the 2 point conversion at the end of the half. I really think that wiped out everything bad that happened previous to that, not just in the first half of this game, but also the previous road games. In other words it was like a magic eraser. Instead of going into the half losing and the Bengals getting the second half kick, you're now tied, and none of the drops, penalties or turnovers matter.

[GBMelBlount]

who is this Earl?

LOL. I assumed he meant heath.

[dislocatedday]

I don't think he rises to "Hero" status....but I wanted to give some props to Mike Adams, who looked like he got his feet under him tongiht. I know he had help, and he is playing on the right instead of left, but he looked miles ahead of where he was back in pre-season.

[GoSlash27]

My game ball goes to Heeeeeath! He was in beast mode tonight! :whoo:

[Devilsdancefloor]

Hero: Dwyer, Heath, Oline, 2nd half D

Zero: Mike Wallace (thinking about calling him dwight stone) his contract is to big in his hands it just gets in the way and he cant squeeze the ball , Amos Jones

[Steelman]

Heroes: Heath played a heck of a game. Total football player. Props to the O-line for playing pretty well all things considered. Dwyer stepped up big time. He's not real fast, but if he can stay low and break a tackle now and then, he might supplant Redman as 2nd string back. I thought Woodley played pretty well, got that key interception that turned the game in our favor.

Since we won, honorable mentions go to Ike for playing solid ball against AJ Green, though I thought Lewis may have outplayed him, especially on that PD on the long ball. Green had Ike beat for a TD if not for Lewis. We gave up some run yardage, but I thought Hampton finally had a solid game, saw him get some push and stuff a few runs up the gut. Big Ben's leadership is key to this team, love how he rallied the guys (which didn't lead to any points on the drive, but you never saw him get fazed, even with the early TO's.)

Zeros: Wallace stole a page from "Hands of Stone" Ike. Terrible, even with the suspect catch at the end of the game. The ST's need a lot of work. Brown and Rainey are the best returners we've had in some time and every play gets erased by a stupid penalty.


Credit to a much-maligned by the fans Dick LeBeau, he made some nice adjustments at the half, something many of us have been calling him out about. Well, he did, and it worked. The defense didn't choke late with a 1 possession game on the line in the 4th quarter, even though the Bengals had two shots to create a drive to send it to OT.

Credit to Haley for his creativeness and patience. Liked how he went to pounding it up the middle after the turnovers, and then spiced it up later with some end-arounds and bigger shots downfield. This offense could be special.

OK, Willie Colon might not be a good guard, but watching him pummel people to the floor is ridiculously awesome.

[zulater]

How about a special teams game ball for Suisham? 3 kicks all over 40 yards and there was never a doubt about any of them from the moment they left his foot.
Honestly the guy is having a Pro Bowl quality season! Who'd ever thunk it?! :lol:

[Psycho Ward 86]

gotta agree with steelman's notion about dwyer supplanting redman. I was pimping redman all season to be fairly successful as a starter, but he really hasnt done, or as a 2nd string for that matter. Dwyer used to be slow and timid against contact but he looked like an NFL running back tonight. Angry running, now that shit i love to see.

[BlastFurnace]

Hero: Offensive Line, Ben, Keenan Lewis
Zero: Wallace, Special Teams

[X-Terminator]

LOL. I assumed he meant heath.

It's amazing to me how many fans don't realize that Earl and not Heath is his first name. Come on, people!!!

[stillers4me]

Hero: the Paul Brown stadium security guard that removed an entire row of drunk, obnoxious Bengals fans near us in the 3rd quarter. :lol:

Zero: Where's Wallace

[oneforthetoe]

Heroes: Of course Ben and mostly everyone mentioned above, but I will single out the o'line and Dwyer for one reason. They helped out out defense tonight by possessing the ball. If there is no running game, especially in the first half, I'll bet the ostrich farm that Dalton gets a few long hook-ups to Green and we lose the game.

[steelerdude15]

The hero's would definitely be Ben, Johnny D., Heath, and Antonio. Honorable mentions go to Ike, Keenan, and Shaun. I'd say that Heath is the number one hero because he caught six passes which one was a touchdown and another was a great effort in getting the two point conversion. He also blocked extremely well tonight. He blocked for Ben, buying him time in the pocket which was vital and also made some great blocks for runners as well.

The zero's would have to go Larry, Casey, and Mikey. Larry and Casey were shut down for most of the night, especially in the running game. Of course, Mike had quite a few dropped passes.

[Steeldude]

Zeroes - Wallace, DL, LBs

Heroes - Brown, Miller, Dwyer

[venom]

Heroes - Ben, Antonio, Heath, Ike , Dwyer

Zeroes- Wallace and Special Teams

[zulater]

Zeroes - Wallace, DL, LBs

Heroes - Brown, Miller, Dwyer

I think you're the only one that led with zeroes? :lol: And I don't know how you can list the entire front 7 as zeroes after the performance they gave last night anyway?

[steeldawg]

Hero: you can pencil heath into this categeory every week

zero: wallace, batch, tomlin

Wallace and Batch look like they have never caught a football before in their lives.
Tomlin I think has to get blame because our fundamentals are awful, penalties on every kick return and simple things like catching the ball.

I'm with you on the penalties, particularly since he took it upon himself to fire the ST coach right before the start of the season. The drops, I don't think those fall on him.

[Moose]

I would definitely give a special game ball to HEATH.
HERO'S would be Coach LeBeau on his game plan against Green making him nonexistent. Also to Brown, Rainey, Dwyer and of course Ben. Good TEAM WORK !
ZERO'S would be to WALLACE. Another 3 TD's could've been on the board if he had hand's. And I might slip in James Harrison too. His non-existence is starting to piss me off...can he not man handle the line anymore and get to the QB ?

[GBMelBlount]

EEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRLLL LLLLLLLLLLLLLL just doesnt have the ssame ring to it as HHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT HHHHHHH

Exactly!

Has anybody ever heard of an "Earl Bar?"

I think not....

[Devilsdancefloor]

Exactly!

Has anybody ever heard of an "Earl Bar?"

Nope

[11angrymen]

Heroes: Every Steeler player and coach (with the exception of the Zeroes listed below). A special heroe salute to Marvin Lewis and his use of the challenges!

Zeroes: Mike "Limas" Wallace, Baron Batch(gotta catch that!) return team (except Brown & Rainey) penalties hve to stop!!!!!!

[X-Terminator]

Harrison is not in game-shape right now. Missing the entire off-season program and training camp is tough on a player, especially when he's over 30. Plus, I still think his back is giving him problems, but he won't admit it.

[GBMelBlount]

Nope

That's because they call them "Heath Bars!"

[86WARD]

Hero - Heath Miller. Jonathan Dwyer.
Zero - Special Teams Flags...

[steeldevil]

Heros: Dick LeBeau and the whole defense, but especially Ike Taylor. The OL and Heath Miller, I would say Dwyer but the OL was giving him the biggest holes I have seen in awhile.

Zeros: The DL, Wallace. The DL was getting pushed around a bit on running plays.

All around, all teams considered, very good game.

[HollywoodSteel]

[SteelGhost]

Heroes : Ben (his turnovers did not cost us the game), Heath, Dwyer, the OL, Suisham and HALEY.
Zero : Mike Wallace

[steeldawg]

Normally i would agree about the drops if it were just one game, but we are seeing it game after game. I would have wallace doing nothing but catching passes all practice long, I mean this guy is getting wide open and not catching the ball. So i blame tomlin because this is something that should be corrected or at least improved.
