Game balls Steelers win over Rats.

[fansince'76]

I have to give the game balls to Deebo & Ben. I just might have to give Ben a new nickname, Timex, takes a licking and still keeps on ticking. Damn he took some punishment early but in Ben fashion never let him phase him and delivered a great game. As for Deebo, he was a one man wrecking crew although Keisel helped him out. I got to admit I was totally wrong about Keisel. I thought he was only good backup depth. He's been awesome the last 2 games.

I gotta admit I was wrong about Harrison - I didn't think he had any gas left in the tank either. Man, was I wrong.

Ben/Harrison will honorable mention going to Will Allen for playing a heck of a game filling in for troy

Goat: refs for im going to throw you out of the game and never doing anything

I gotta disagree with you on the goat. I thought the refs did a great job of not overreacting, but still keeping the game pretty much under control, especially when it looked like it was about to turn into a brawl in the third quarter. No one had done anything yet to deserve to be tossed (Suggs play was literally below the belt, and the Steelers reacted appropriately, but Suggs was also being a professional there. He could've just as easily aimed for the small of the back or for the back of the knees. He didn't, he went for the buttocks/thighs—there's a Tom Brady joke in there someplace as well.)

I should get right in line behind you for that one as well. I totally thought both Kiesel and Harrison were done.

3 weeks ago that's the way it looked. Different man the last two weeks.

I'm about 85-90 percent there with you. I thought he would have a bit left, but nothing like what we saw tonight. I was seriously impressed.



What is with James Harrison and the Ravens in night games at Heinz Field?

Harrison reminded me of Otis Anderson at the end of his career with Parcells and the Giants. He wasn't all of what he once was anymore, but when ever they needed a big performance in a crucial game, they would have Simms turn around and hand it to the big man 30 times a game.

[Steelman]

Another special mention to Munch...saw a shot of him sitting down with the OL after that 3-sack drive and he was cool and collected and reminding them of their notes. I think he really instilled some confidence back into them. We couldn't generate any ground game, but I'd rather sacrifice that and keep Ben alive. Glad they were about to do that and mitigate the damage in an intense slugfest.

Tomlin: he had mean Joe Greene address the team before the game.

Have him address the team before the Jets and Titans game

[Lady Steel]

Wing and Sweet Cheeks wanna play, too!

very good analogy. They won a Super Bowl letting 73 year old OJ Anderson pound it.

Gotta love the pathetic tactics that the ratturds try to use to shake up Ben and instead of intimidating him they fire him up!!! Ben and Debo definitely the game ball winners. Give the team a great big hand for not retaliating for all the cheap shots and securing the win.

I agree that the Refs sucked for not throwing out the ratturds for their cheap shot tactics all game long. If Suggs was professional he never would have taken that cheap shot on Blount, when the play was clearly over. He was trying to deliver a cheap shot and should have been thrown out of the game for it.

[Steeldude]

Harrison and BR, but really the whole team.

As for goats, I suppose Wing. Gilbert and Beachum weren't so fantastic either, but they were good enough to get the win.

[steel9guy]

Ben and Harrison. Game ball. What a game.

YEah. I still have memories of that playoff run. They kinda dusted off Otis and told him it was the playoffs. Old man river took it from there.

[Drazo85]

Defensive backfield. These guys held their own entire night, and some of the sacks and hits on Flacco are direct result of their excellent coverage.

[Count Steeler]

Team effort with some special moments. Ben with the Popeye impression. AB for acting like a full back. Deebo for being Deebo. (I was wrong on him as well) DeCastro for nailing someone in the first half. Munchak for getting the O Line to settle down. Pouncey for keeping his guys under control.

Upshaw should be fined, he left his feet. On the good side, he woke this team up.
Suggs continues to prove he is a thug.

Ravens, that was not hard nosed football. That was cheap shots with intent to injure to too many of our players.

[86WARD]

Ben, Harrison and the CBs. Goat is once again Tomlin and the coaching staff. Burned two timeouts that could've been critical in a game like this.

[venom]

Game ball goes to the coach that benched Cortez Allen

[Moose]

After watching the game last night, there is no way in hell I could single anyone for 'the game ball' ! The whole team, offense/defense, played lights out, Steeler football. Other than the flob of letting the rat's have a easy TD on the return, the Steeler's looked hungry ! I'm loving what they're doing the past 3 weeks, just hating the slow starts they do. Game ball to everyone ! Great team effort !! Bring on the bungholes !!

Kudos to Tomlin for a great challenge though. Was a huge play getting the sack and forcing the punt there. And I'm not sure Tomlin is responsible for those blown time outs. Haley is the one who has to have the right guys on the field in a timely manner.

Other than that early TD, they played well.

I noticed McCain limping off the field late....

And for that matter, Ben is the one who has to make the adjustments, get the guys on the field up to the line and ready, and the guys have to put it all together and do it. Unless it's something pretty clear, we usually don't know what really happened, so guessing is just that, guessing.

[steel striker]

Ben & James and, the WR's for making plays also credit Haley nice game the last two games. The defense turned this game around and, the offense made them pay. Plus Ben has been on fire the last two weeks and, just about all the rat bird fan base crying about the calls. In game one in Baltimore everything went their way. Tonight was the Steelers night but, it did not start that way. I still say that cheap shot on Ben pissed the entire team off and, they responded big time. Huge game by the defense they kept the pressure on Flacco most of the night.

This was the play Wallace was flagged on and if I read his lips correctly as he came to the side line, it looked like he said "I punched him"

[st33lersguy]

Game goat to Terrell Thugs for continuing to be a cheap shot delivering asshole, the whiny asshole John Harbitch, if anyone deserves the success he has gotten less, it's him (even less than Bellicheat), and the Ravens for looking like crap

I also liked how after that, we got an 80-yard kickoff for a touchback. That's something you don't see every day.
