I know Marianne used to do game ball thread after losses. God rest her soul, but I just can't put it that way, so instead I'll call it silver linings. You know, like how you can sometimes see a silver lining in a dark storm cloud.
Anyway here's mine.
Heath Miller. Outside of one bogus holding call Heath got the job done tonight. Both as a blocker and catching passes.

Suisham. I loved the touch backs. Larry foote. He showed hustle.Originally Posted by zulater

I like it Zu!!
Silver Lining: Max Starks & Mike Adams play really well against 2 of the best pass rushers
Dingy Lining: Defensive Unit
For those i love i will sacrifice.

Sushishamwow for the kicks out of the end zone and 100% FG and PATs on the road.
Earl for being my XFactor pick of the game and coming through.
Antonio Brown certainly didn't suck.

Miller & AB ......gutsy play by them both.

Ben didn't suck. Well except for a couple plays.
"A man's got to know his limitations."
The big problem was the beginning of the game on offense and the defense against the no-huddle
For the rest, the steelers don't sucks
Troy for making Manning poop his pants three times in a row just by running up to the line and looking scary. That was undoubtedly the highlight of the game.
Brown had a pretty awesome individual effort.
The defense sucked dog shit.
See you Space Cowboy ...

Dwyer was running hard all night. Heath looked great and so did AB.
Heath, AB, Wallace, Starks and Pouncey looked good.
The goat goes to Legursky. Don't know why he is still on the team.
The defense didn't play well, but the went up against Manning and they did it without Clark or Harrison. Makes it hard to judge them.
Polamalu looked good. At least he was giving effort. I can't say the same for the rest of the defense.
Hater = Realist
Silver lining: we only gave up 94 yards rushing and 3.5 YPC. It seemed like SO much more...
Array title="bayz101 has a reputation beyond repute">
Ben Roethlisberger and Larry Foote.
PS: I could kick one out of the endzone in Denver. Let's see him do it in Pittsburgh.
BR didn't look so swift to me. A number of bad passes and missed WRs. I wouldn't give him an F, but he doesn't get an A or B either.

Accuracy won't be 100% one game into the season, but he's definitely throwing the ball FAST. I'd estimate somewhere in the low fifty mph range. Gunslinger tonight.
Array title="Galax Steeler is a splendid one to behold">
Wallace didn't look to bad considering the amount of time he has put into it.
Array title="zulater has a reputation beyond repute">
Giving effort, but to what effect? I don't think he looked good at all. Manning certainly didn't seem to have any trouble locating and negating Troy any time it mattered.

The offense was OK and showed rays of hope, understanding that a new OC is installing a new offense and is not yet firing on all cylinders.
The defense, very discouraging. If Clark makes that much difference in our D, we need to lock him up.
Pretty good test coming this weekend with the Jets coming to town, and you know who.
Miller, Brown, Dwyer on O.

Miller was most consistent and AB showed up to win. Ben made some genius throws and he also missed a few routine ones like to Miller in the EZ when we settled for the first FG.
*It appeared after all the ticky tack calls on the Steelers that the refs definitely looked the other way on Mannings first TD when #29 was held. The refs also missed a facemask on Ben. They definitely set the tone for the game, but a good team would have risen above it.
All Defense!
Array title="ALLD has a reputation beyond repute">
No Potsie.
All Defense!
Wallace, Miller, and Foote
Big Ben was solid, Heath was good, and Dwyer ran the ball hard.
He was doing most of the work on defense. Manning didn't have any trouble because the other 10 didn't help. Did you see how Manning was concerned at where Polamalu was on the field?
Hater = Realist
Larry Foote played about as tenaciously and with as much speed as ive ever seen him. Even in his 1st stint with the steelers
Array title="stillers4me has a reputation beyond repute">
Funny how everyone rags on our D for being old (cough cough Warren Sapp) yet it was Larry Foote that had eight tackles, including one for loss, plus a sack for a loss of 5 yards, a pass defensed and two quarterback pressures.
This. Why are some people so hesitant to give Foote credit? I'll admit that I didn't expect much from him this season but he looked like an upgrade to last year's Farrior.
Troy was okay, but his screw up going under instead of over the block was the reason for that huge catch and TD run. He said so himself in an interview.
Array title="steelpride12 is a splendid one to behold">
Other than the OL most of the offense didn't suck. Ben played good early and great in the no huddle
AB looked fantastic, saw a few good things from Sanders and Wallace
Heath, getting the recognition he deserves!
Dywer>Redman last night.

"When you go out on the field and you're intense for 60 minutes, some guys don't want to do it. When I line up across from him, he has to do one of two things, he has to raise his level of play, or he's going to get his *** kicked all day"
- Greg Lloyd
Heath, Dwyer and Ben. Mike Adams played decently.
On defense .... VERY hard to pick ... maybe Foote and Troy in some plays
