Game Ball?????

[Polamalu Princess]

Who earned it from you tonight?

[polamalubeast]

Antonio Brown

- - - Updated - - -

I think this is the biggest comeback(17 points) of the career of Roethlisberger

[Edman]

Game Goat: Whole team. First Half.

Game Ball: Whole team. Second Half.

[ETL]

Goats of the game: coaches for not having the team prepared in the first half

Game ball: coaches for making the adjustments at half time

[ALLD]

AB for making some clutch plays and no big mistakes.

Good point

[Count Steeler]

Whoever woke this team up. Half time by the coaches? Maybe a player lit a fire under them?

Talk about a tale of 2 defenses. How did they go from being a sieve to being a curtain?

[steelerdude15]

My game ball and game goat go to the coaching staff. They're my goat because of how the team played in the first half. They came out flat and were down by two touchdowns at the end of the half. The Broncos were throwing at will and there so many holes in the secondary. Then, the coaching staff is my game ball because they made the right adjustments to win the game.

[TheRedMan]

100% Game Ball goes to Butler for sitting #41 on those last 2 drives.

I say it here and it comes out there

[vader29]

Antonio and Ben.

[zoneblitzerII]

Jeez, I might have to give it to the coaches. Something happened in that locker room at halftime and they came out a different club. I might've said Ben for the gameball but that last INT was so horrifically awful that it just put a bitter taste on the whole thing.

[Steeltreal]

Brown for MVP

[Craic]

Goat - I'm very tempted to give it to Ben for that INT at the end of the Second half. But, as I've said before, you live and die by the gunslinger's mentality. And, while that wasn't slinging the ball, it's still the gambler behind the gunslinger. Nevertheless, he did enough throughout the rest of the game to keep him out of Goatiness.

So, who's my goat? The entire defense, including the coaches. Unbelievable half of football.

Gameball - And here's why I hate Ben so much sometimes . . . because he makes me feel schizophrenic! He's a goat nominee for the game, but doesn't come away with the award. So, instead. . . he ends up with a gameball for shaking off both INTs and hitting big throws, marching the team down the field repeatedly to come back from a 3 score deficit, and pretty much chooses to ignore Denver's big pass rush all game long.

And speaking of schizophrenic, game ball also gets given to the . . . defense and coaches. I literally have never seen such a different and distinct two halfs of football. Not even in the beginning of last year when we barely beat the Browns.

The entire receiving core gets a gameball for a job very well done.

Special Gameball: my Primary Care Doctor for having me on the correct blood pressure medicine, probably preventing a heart attack.

Honestly, that's not surprising. I think they simply ate up the cushion at the snap, but kept many of the same schemes.

[Count Steeler]

678744570658553857

Did he put his shades on in the second half, or did he take them off? Seriously?

[tube517]

Game Ball: AB, Ben, Boswell, 2nd half D.

Goat: 1st half D. Special teams (falling asleep on that crazy return). Berry as a punter is just as erratic as Brad Wingberger.

[GBMelBlount]

Game Ball: AB, Ben, Boswell, 2nd half D.



Agreed.

[salamander]

I give myself the goat for saying the game was over by half time.

Game ball goes to whoever or whatever woke up the team in the 2nd half.

I hope you didn't think he was going to tell everything they did, when they may well have to face that same team again in 3 weeks.

Antonio Brown

- - - Updated - - -

I think this is the biggest comeback(17 points) of the career of Roethlisberger

i distinctly remember him coming back from 21 against the browns in 2007.

Brown gets my gameball. Jesus, i thought Brown's statline would be more like 7 catches, 80 yards. Never ceases to amaze me how unstoppable he is.

Ben and the defense did great against tough odds as well, but they were way too streaky to get today's gameball.

That was an awful 4th quarter interception, but masterful game otherwise. Awful defense to start with, but WOW, who sent out the steel curtain the 2nd half?

I want to find out how much Blake played in each half

[86WARD]

Game Balls - Antonio Brown, Brandon Boykin, Robert Golden.

Goats - Coaching. Team play in first half.

It was 15 points.....

[cold-hard-steel]

I give the game ball to the whole team for not folding after the first half. They all collected in the 2nd half and showed some medal. Steel metal ! You dent it , bend it ,crinkle it . and it still holds up. We must have an alloy defense. Special game ball to Tomlin for pointing at the camera like he did.

Just for clarification it's mettle.

Yeah, I can just see how that went . . .

[steel striker]

AB and, the defense in the second half Ben outside of that late pick which I was losing my mind over as well. Ben did play a very good game. Credit just about the whole team in the second half.

[Polamalu Princess]

I only have one to give and I must give it to Ben. We are so blessed to have him.

[cold-hard-steel]

Just for clarification it's mettle.

ok

[Craic]

He's a joke.

Seriously, after taking a team most of us thought would be little better than 8-8 at the end of the season, to 9-5 with two games left and looking to seriously threaten in the playoffs, you're calling Tomlin a joke?

[steelcityboyz]

Ben and AB enough said.

[Steel Peon]

Game Goat: Whole team. First Half.

Game Ball: Whole team. Second Half.

I was going to say the same thing.

[cold-hard-steel]

We all know it is a team win , no one person did it all. I hate this thread. Freakin analysts anyway.That goes double for spell checkers too! Try to pull someone down even though their feeling good. Analysts , did i spell that correctly ?

[86WARD]

Game ball to Joey.

It pays that he's here. That's one of the reasons I liked that signing. I feel like they need to keep Harrison around for similar reasons.

[steelreserve]

Game balls: Been, Brown, honorable mention to Wheaton.

Boykin also gets a game ball, not really for any spectacular plays, but for being the one who got Blake the fuck off the field.

Goatse: Blake, Tomlin for STILL continuing to stick with that piece of dogshit as a starter.

[SteelMayhem72]

Ben,AB, and defense in 2nd half! if ben could erase his wtf boneheaded interception every game we would be the best ever imho!!! those boneheaded interceptions hopefully dont kill us in a game anymore

yes, you spelled "analysts" correctly.

but you missed on "Try to pull someone down even though they're feeling good"...:tongue1:

It's pathetic that grown men need to be motivated. You are paid millions to put forth 100% effort on every play. Why does someone need to tell them to try and get their act together? Don't get me wrong, pep talks are good, but they shouldn't be needed.

Didn't Lambert once say he didn't understand why players need to be motivated by another?

Pretty much everyone in this forum are grown men and women, yet look how down they were at halftime. Emotions happen. Circumstances lead to tunnel vision. Motivation and "pep talks" aren't just about Ra! Ra! Ra! They help break a mindset or reset a tone. It's human nature. One that has played itself out from the earliest battlefields of mankind's wars to this afternoon's locker rooms and political rallies, and everything in between.

What are "human emotions" for 400, Alex.

See, this is the difference between an idiot finishing up a PhD and the average person - Edman said in 7 words what took me 73 words. :doh:

[Butch]

Goat - Butler for every time he only rushed 3. Every stinking time we only rush 3 we get our butts handed to us and it happened again today. Get after the QB or face the consequences!!!

Game ball - The team that came out of the tunnel in the 2nd 1/2.

One thing I notice this year, is that Ben is not getting those blindside free rushers totally flooring him. I think given that, he stands in a bit more knowing his guys got his back. The rush still gets there and oline often gets beat, but so cleanly that they allow Ben to get clobbered without seeing it coming

I've noticed that too. It seems that it's either he holds the ball too long which is less than in the past but mostly the pocket just collapses around him and engulfs him. From what I can recall...

They should have played harder in the 1st half. I'm with Lambert on this one : ) Get a grip on your emotions and earn that absurd salary : )

Lambert is top shelf, top tier, upper echelon. If you had 53 Lamberts, it would be mass mayhem for the NFL. Unfortunately, he was 1 in a million.

AB strikes me as the same type of attitude. He could be moping around cause he didn't get his salary extension or raise in the off season, but he has put up ridiculous numbers again this year.

[SteelMember]

AB... that shifty sumbitch

Special Game ball to Vernon Davis for dropping that 3rd down pass. Where's Mike Singletary at? :chuckle:

Most players are paid to practice as real men would play the game for free.
