5 TD's for Ben that game - all in the first half. Good choice!

Although not a regular season game, my favorite game of the 2000s is the 2005 AFCCG against Denver. Absolutely dominant performance. One of the few games in Ben's career where the WHOLE team showed up and kicked ass from the opening kickoff to the very end of the game. There was no letup and no letting the opponent back into it that game.

Steelers at Ravens, 2004 (L, 30-13).

Tommy Maddox fucks up his arm. Ben becomes the QB and we go on a 15-game winning streak. I guess this is a more in hindsight than actually watching it live or anything.

Another one that sticks out in my memory was the 2004 "Hurricane game" against the Dolphins, which the Steelers won 13-3. Ben's first start.

Another memorable game from Ben's rookie year - the come-from-behind win in Dallas (24-20). If only that team wouldn't have peaked too early that season...

Speaking of that, another one I remember was the 2007 Dolphins mud game. 3-0 final score, 375 yards of COMBINED total offense, and a punt that stuck in the ground.

Not really my favorite game I guess, but definitely one of the more memorable ones. I remember some pretty shitty games, come to think of it.

I was there for that game - first NFL game I'd every been to, first time I'd every been in Pittsburgh for anything more than a couple hours.

I do remember the bears game 2005 in the snow . Bettis was awesome ! I still remember the play when he just ran over Brian urlacher . I wouldn't forget it to be honest ,as it's still one of my screen saver piccy's . Also the Packers game with the Wallace touchdown at the end. I did enjoy Charlie Batch's win over the ravens this year as well .

We were fine that year, that's the year the Pats* took us out in the playoffs. They were still cheating that year cause Eric Mangini ratted them out the next season.

Its hard for me to say because there have been so many good games. On that note, I feel that the 2010 season opener against the Falcons is my favorite. We were just coming off of a horrible off-season with Ben's second accusation and everything that went with it. Not only that, but Holmes had been traded away for failing another drug test. The reason why its my favorite is because the Steelers played great that day. Troy had a great interception and the game went to overtime. Then, Mendy had that awesome run for a TD. All of the players were running after him and celebrating. It was like a big weight had been lifted off of their shoulders and our shoulders as well.

deshea's pick six:

farrior called a timeout after second down to force the cowboys to have to make a play, otherwise they would punt it back with about 1:30 on the clock. you could read romo's lips "you sure you want to do that" and farrior nodding back at him confidently. i also love how troy is celebrating with his fist in the air before deshea even catches the ball!

75th anniversary game by far and away my all time favorite and only 2nd to superbowl 43. James Harrison's one man show on D and Ben shrugging off bart scott for a touchdown.

The boys game was up there with Ben's late game heroics!!!

Mud bowl and as mentioned the punt that stuck in the ground. The score with 2 minutes to go 0-0 if I'm not mistaken and we won 3-0. Helluva game!!!

I was thinking the Halloween beat down of the Patsy's, but had forgotten we beat the also undefeated eagles the following game. that was a very cool season.

Not sure if this is my #1, but I loved whooping the Eagles 27-3 in 2004.

...come to think of it, beating the Pats the week before on Halloween (34-20) was sweet too. I remember just hanging the bag of candy on the door after about 5 minute. haha

Everyone hit almost all the games I was thinking of. I chose between 01 against the ravens on Monday night football. Big Win. 08 and 10 at the ravens. I have to go with 08 because we won the division that day in the ratbird house. Close seconds for me would be the 08 cowboys and the 07 beatdown of baltimore on Monday Night. Also loved the 2002 Bucs game on Monday night football when warren sapp got his lunch handed to him after taunting Bettis.
