Game Ball Wk6 @ Cincy

[GoSlash27]

It's a very close call, but Ben gets my game ball today. He was harried, but never sacked and only off target once.

More good news: Cleveland lost. We're no longer basement roomies :D

[tube517]

Bungles play at KC next week.

We have Cleveland at home

Game Ball: Ben. Then Conner, JuJu, AB O-Line and D-Line. Ben audibles that call to AB on the game winner. That was all him and he played very well. FORGOT: Vance McDonald...not sure how, but I did...lol.

Goats: Danny Smith Special Teams. Coaching. Tomlin botched two challenge situations. Also, Artie Burnt. Do the Steelers have the decision to make this year on picking up Burnt’s 5th year?

[Mojouw]

Game Ball - offensive line. They played flawlessly.

Goat - Cam SUtton and the defensive plan to ask him to repeatedly deal with a TE that had him outsized by like half a person. Burnett and Allen need to get ready to play so that this secondary doesn’t have to keep putting its DBs in no win situations.

[st33lersguy]

Lot of game balls: Big Ben (another drive), Conner (another 100 yard multi-TD game), AB (has been starting out slow in games, but once again clutch), Vance McDonald(beastly on some catches), O-line (great game today) a season best.

Goats: Tomlin (challenge flag incompetence almost cost them), Fichtner (red-zone play-calling on that drive before Cincy took the lead was atrocious), Defense (disappearing act near the end of both halves), Special teams (those big long returns, smh), refs (Barfass gets away with another cheap shot)

Don't forget Vance McDonald. He was an absolute beast. Als, I don't fault Tomlin for the challenge problems. They don't let you see the replay at visiting stadiums.

Best,

Wow Burns not mentioned as a goat. I guess people didn't want to confuse him as Greatest of All Time using the word Goat.

I totally forgot Vance. My Bad. I’ll add him on. I also forgot to add Burnt as my Goat.

[Steeler-in-west]

Gameball: Ben, o-line, juju
goat: refs for missing the Conner TD and Tomlin for calling a challenge on the wrong play (should have been a challenge on the Conner actual TD instead),

Also, not a goat, bit if we lost he would be: Haden, had two passes he should’ve picked off. This game would not be this close if he gets even one of those. Gotta make those plays against the pats and jags.

[BlackAndGold]

Burns should no longer see the field.

Hopefully Burnett is ready to go after the bye so Sutton can replace Burns.

Burns didn’t play well,a t all. But Sutton was identified and targeted every time Cindy needed to move the chains. If he made at least 2 pass defenses, Bungles are never in position to win this game.

But if my AUnt had balls she’d be my uncle. So....both guys are simply not playing well at all right now.

[polamalubeast]

Road Ben,Conner,AB,McDonald and the offensive line.

Doubt he'll be defending the back of the end zone like Burns on the Bengals 2nd TD.

Sutton isn't perfect but he's around the receiver, I can see him getting more consistent with more playing time. Burns needs to be benched, such a dumb player.

[BlackAndGold]

Also, great time for a bye week. Bell should be back in the fold, not sure how that will play out because no way can you play him over Connor whom is playing like a franchise back.

As mentioned above, Burnett should return which should help the middle of the defense on passing downs.

Not sure if “Cindy” was done on purpose but funny either way...

To be fair, how many backs qualify for that stat?

[polamalubeast]

Much focus on Roethlisberger's stats on the road in the last couple years, but the steelers as a team are much better on the road since last year.

9 wins in 11 games since last year on the road ..... only 7-5 at home including our playoff game.

[Steeldude]

Heroes: Schuster, Conner, O-line, BR, McDonald, Haden

Goats: OLBs, Burns, Tomlin

[AtlantaDan]

Game balls - Ben, Conner, O-line, JuJu, McDonald

Goats - Burns, special teams, Tomlin on challenges

This from a Cincinnati Enquirer columnist

“I knew it was over after we scored,’’ Tyler Boyd said. He hasn’t been here very long.
“Nothing’s too big for’’ Roethlisberger, said A.J. Green, who has....
The thought remains that the Bengals can’t beat the Steelers, and if they can’t beat the Steelers, what’s the point?

Stupid ass plays by his guy instead of actual knowledge proof evidence rules .

Had to listen slash watch inline while in a long drive today. Sounds like Ben and Conner get game balls. If they could finish drives I the second half they would have been up by multiple scores

I modified it a bit. That said, during the bye week, we need to figure out the exact rankings. (In a few days, I’ll start a thread for discussing this... since we won’t have much to talk about for a week.)


Oh... it’s only at level “Woodhouse” because, that drive at the end of the first half stole all of the momentum that the offense had just accrued. Scores are going happen, but the timing of that touchdown was awful... ergo, I dropped them a spot based solely on the timing.


Likewise, they dropped an additional spot, because they gave up the go-ahead touchdown (a stop ends the game). So, again, the timing dropped them down an entire spot.


21 points = no higher than Benson
drop one spot for end of half
drop one spot for end of game

I’d love Greedy Williams, LSU... but, he’ll be long gone by 32. :wink02:

[Fire Goodell]

O-line. Conner over 100 yards at 5 yards per carry, Ben sacked 0 times.

[Devilsdancefloor]

oline

[Craic]

Game Balls:
Ben R.
Schuster
Antonio Brown. Perhaps we're seeing the return of the old Brown. 100+ yards, a TD, and more importantly, the goto man in the crunch.
Conner
McDonald. If he stays healthy, wow. Once again, a man playing among boys at times.

HM: O line. I can't give them a game ball. There were too many times they allowed good penetration on run plays and Conner bailed them out by turning a two or three yard loss into a one or two yard gain. Still, their pass blocking is spectacular.
Hilton
Haden. Both Hilton and Haden made some good plays.

On a different note, anyone think it is coincidence that the defense is all of a sudden player better since Hilton and Haden are back at full speed?

Goats: I'm laughing at everyone saying Tomlin. The man's team can win by 60 points and he'd still be the goat because he didn't have ABs jersey sewn the right way that caused a drop in the last second of the game.

Nevertheless. For those specifying Tomlin on challenges, eh . . . I'm sorta okay with that.
Burns
Sutton
Kick coverage team.

[polamalubeast]

I hope that Vance McDonald will stay healthy for the rest of the season since he is very good and very important for us.

Agree but can't give it to Haden. He played great but dropped two INT's that only Ike Taylor could admire!

Great point but I don't know what it's like to have a CB who is in the top 10 of INTs so the dropped picks are par for the course lol.

If I only have one game ball it goes to James Conner. He's making "the best RB in the NFL" irrelevant.

Every year AV seems to start slow, and improve as the year goes on.
