Game ball vs Ravens

[polamalubeast]

For me,this is Ben with 506 yards against a very good defense and 0 INT on 66 pass attempts against the best defense for the turnovers before the week 14.


HM:Brown,Bell and James.

[j-d-s]

Agree on Game Ball for Ben.

Goat goes to Coach Tomlin for throwing it twice on our last possession, giving Baltimore the opportunity to possibly kick it with Tucker (which ultimately did not happen, but there was the danger), when we could've just ran it three times, call timeout at 4 seconds and kick the field goal then.
Plus the Linebackers (except TJ Watt) who had a hard time stopping Baltimore.

[Iron Steeler]

Big Ben!

He took over the game!

[zulater]

The new killer B's. Ben, AB, Bell, and the Boz!

[Psycho Ward 86]

Ben no doubt. It starts and ends there. This is the type of Ben i feel like stands a good chance to beat the Patriots even if all kinds of things are going wrong with the defense

[Shoes]

Ben, Bell, Brown , Boz

James, McDonald and Rogers made some key catches and Watts strip sack closed it out. Too bad McDonald is injured again.

[Butch]

Ben, Bell, Brown, Bozwell, TJ, McDonald, Nix

Goats - yes I agree why are we passing when we are in fg position? I don't care if Ben takes a knee don't pass it. Refs for giving them 14 points on 4 total crap calls. NFL for suspension on Ju Ju while ignoring Iloka

[SteelerFanInStl]

Game Ball: Ben. Over 500 yards passing against that great Ravens defense that hadn't given up 300 yards all season.
honorable mention to Outlaw. 10 catches for 97 yards. AB, Bell and Boswell also of course.
Goat: Defense for most of the game. Couldn't tackle anyone or get off their blocks. They made the poor Ravens offense look great.

[DesertSteel]

Game ball:
Ben - duh
Brown - the best WR in the game
The outlaw. Hate all you want but he saved the day on 3rd and long
TJ - incredible sack


The whole D sucked but Sean Davis was putrid.

[tube517]

Game Ball to Ben, AB, Bell (3 TDs), Boz, The Outlaw


Outlaw had 10 catches for 97 yds and some very clutch catches.
McDonald made some nice catches as well but is always getting hurt.

[fansince'76]

Ben. 500+ yards against a defense that hasn't allowed 300 yards passing in a game all season up to now. Wow.

[Butch]

I forgot to add the outlaw as well

[DesertSteel]

Game Ball to Ben, AB, Bell (3 TDs), Boz, The Outlaw


Outlaw had 10 catches for 97 yds and some very clutch catches.
McDonald made some nice catches as well but is always getting hurt.
McDonald looks like Tarzan but gets hurt like Jane.

[SteelerFanInStl]

McDonald looks like Tarzan but gets hurt like Jane.

:lol:

Balls: Big Ben: 3 500 yard passing games, an NFL record, I dare someone to try and argue that he doesn't belong in the Hall of Fame. AB: over 200 yards, continues to deliver, team MVP so far, this team may be middling around .500 without him (I am dead serious saying that). Bell: Another great productive day as a duel threat, need him to stay healthy further. Bo$, 4 game winners in 5 games, this time when the team was down and a tough kick in Heinz, certainly clutch. James: Came up big with a productive 10-catch day

Goats: Bryant: Seriously, get your head out of your ass. Show some damn heart. The entire defense: What the hell was that? This game should have been a blowout with how productive the offense was and the defense completely crapped the bed and was bailed out by Bo$ and the offense. Blown coverages and peewee football level tackling were seen in bunches. Danny Smith led Special teams other than Bo$: Gave up some big returns and provided little other than frustration in the return game (seriously, why does Danny Smith still have a job?). Coaching: Play-calling was awful outside of the no huddlle, the sequence of plays prior to the field goal was painful to watch, Butler allowed his defense to be completely outclassed by Flacco, no-name RBs, and a fairly talentless WR corp. The refs: The only way they could have made it more obvious that they were rooting for Baltimore is if they put on Purple camo, a bird beak on their head, and a Ray Lewis jersey, they tried to give Baltimore the game and even failed there. The league Front office: For being incompetent and not holding their awful officials accountable.

Hubbard played pretty well for a backup undrafted free agent. Fire Munchak

[polamalubeast]

The only person who could stop Ben tonight was Todd Haley with his awful call on the 3rd down at the beginning of the 3rd quarter and putting an extra lineman on the next drive and the steelers were on a 3rd down and 7 because of that .

[DesertSteel]

He can hear the cash register ringing in free agency.

[Lady Steel]

Ben Roethlisberger, no doubt about it.

They can get rid of Bryant for all I care. I'm not feelin' it.

[ETL]

to be honest, I was screaming at Ben in the first 3 quarters for not dumping off the ball to Bell and the TEs. He finally got it at the end of the 3rd and the 4th quarter.

[DesertSteel]

Yeah Bryant looked like he was on drugs tonight. It was like he was running with concrete boots.

Now if only the secondary coach was as good

[steelreserve]

Balls for Ben and AB, and even James with a career night. We finally won a game just by outscoring someone in a shootout.

It's hard to give a goat to the defense - as one of the announcers pointed out, without Shazier, we simply didn't have the speed at linebacker on certain plays and got beat to the outside. The enemy really took advantage of that and it showed. Neither Moats nor Spence is a 1:1 substitute; it's not their faults really, but we have to think of a different way to compensate - formation or scheme, etc. - or we will get eaten alive next week. Again.

I thought it was the right call in that situation. A 46-yarder is far from a gimme FG and made me fuckin' nervous. They were better off trying to get the first down.

No, when he's on drugs he looks like Randy Moss. He looked like he was NOT on drugs tonight. I often wonder if being high literally made him play better. It sure seems like it.

I think you're right. Of course, we were also on a short week, bringing in a new player and getting him back up to date with our schemes, and you know Shazier was on everyone's mind as well. So, perhaps it's not as much a different way to compensate as it's just settling into the new reality for this season and using the tools well.

[Craic]

Game balls.

Killer Bs, all four. The line played well for most of the night as well.

Goats.

Don't know. I want to throw the defense in here, but I can't. Not with everything they've been through in the last seven days and playing with two backups (one just brought in off the street) a rookie and two second year players in the LB/DB corp. Think about that for a second. Except for Mitchell and Dupree, none of our players were starters two years ago in the NFL from that group. Yet, we still held it together enough to beat the Ravens. Putting it that way . . . I'm not so upset about it.

I want him gone in the offseason. Guy is clueless on the field.

[BostonBlackie]

Roethlisberger, the Black Knight, gets the game ball.

Coming to a theater near you: The Black Knight vs. Captain America.

[EzraTank]

The defense ... Just kidding they blew.


Ben, Bell, Brown and Boz. I'd even toss Jesse James out there. He had a bunch of huge 5-7 yard catches all night. Whenever our running game gets stopped they need James to be Heath Miller.

[SteelMember]

Big Ben, AB, Bell and the toe of Boswell...

Defense was noticeably missing Shazier. I think we all knew that would be an issue, but too many stupid penalties didn't help the cause.

Some comments below the video are ridiculous like saying Ben is better to throw for 500 yards when you attempts 66 pass!

It's hard to be effective when a QB has so many pass attempts!

[Born2Steel]

The offense putting up 39 points. 39 points on the Ravens defense with JuJu and Gilbert out.
Chris "Clutch" Boswell. The best kicker in the game today.
Sean Davis for his 2 un-necessary roughness penalties. Without those this game isn't even close and no spectacular finish.

My 3 gameballs

[43Hitman]

Offense: BIG FREAKING BEN! AB, and Bell

Defense: TJ, Heyward

Goat: Sean Davis...he had too many mental lapses giving up free yards on penalties. The refs calling bs PI calls and the personal foul penalty on Burns near the end was horrible.

To be fair, he gives Eli Rogers the same look about as often. Which may be worse, because Rogers plays like 10% of Bryant's snaps.

There is one very very very very very easy way to explain Martavis Bryant's struggles at this point: drumroll....

....He is really really really stupid. I figure he is simply too dumb to learn how to be an NFL WR. Like his brain can't remember the route, and the adjustment, and the fine technical details of the footwork, etc at the same time. So he like remembers 2 or 3 of them and screws up the rest. He wouldn't be the first guy that couldn't make the mental leap once physical ability wasn't enough on its own.

[steel striker]

Big Ben, AB, Bell, JJ, The Bos and, atleast TJ made a play when it really mattered. Ben and, AB have some connection together what a freaking game that was last night.

That may be why he trips over his own feet so much. :chuckle:

He smoked so much pot that it made him stupid. He is just now trying to figure out how to live without being high all the time.

Game Balls - James, McDonald, Nix, Watt

Goats - Bryant, Danny Smith and Special Teams and the Defense.

R7 or undrafted brain - a big reason along with sketchy ability to catch that dropped him to R4
