    Heroes & Goats vs Falcons

    Steelers get over their bug and beat a losing team on the road.

    8-8 is no more. Fire Mike Tomlin!

    The Heroes: The usual. Ben had a deadly efficient excellent game, even though the stats don't show. Brown was Brown. Bell was silenced on the ground, but still did his damage through the air.

    Vince Williams with the HUGE tackle to stop the Atlanta threat.

    Big Play Willie Gay for the pick 6.

    Goats: Secondary, of course. But it's a given. Matt Ryan and the Falcons in the dome.

    Kudos to Gay for the pick 6.

    Ben and Brown as usual. Haley has to have a plan B for the running game when a team sells out to stop it up the middle. Play action and/or sweeps.

    Re: Heroes & Goats vs Falcons

    Gb loses to the Bills 21-13. Rogers, first career game 2 INTs and 0 TDs. Not so amazing after all.

    Give the game ball to Billy Gay for the pivotal Pick 6 that the team built upon.
    All Defense!

    Game Balls: Ben, don't win without him. AB, don't win without him. Gay, pick six that was the difference. Wheaton, made some big plays. Todd Haley, great call at the end.

    Goats: The rest of the pass defense is an obvious one. Bell, picked up minimal yards, should have picked up more. O-line, poor run-blocking. The refs, they were HORRIBLE.

    I will give Haley some props as well for his 4th quarter play calling. Once he was done with that shotgun draw he called a nice, ballsy but appropriately so, game. If you know they are selling out to stop the run (with a banged up secondary to boot) play action is a great weapon. In fact, it's always a great weapon for us. We don't need to establish the run to do it. We've established the run for the season. It's not like people aren't afraid of Bell.

    Anyway, just wanted to give Haley some love since I am usually one of his detractors.

    Re: Heroes & Goats vs Falcons

    Gay, Ben, Bell get game balls.

    The O-Line gets the goats for me. When the Falcons get a sack rushing 3 and the Steelers have 6 in blocking...there's a problem. The line, at times was just collapsing almost as fast as the ball going from Pouncey to Ben.

    Gay....made the difference, had the first TD of the game, and worked hard to get in the Endzone, (watch it back on film). Also he was inspired. Made tackles all over the field.

    A win and I'll take it, but I'm *very* concerned about our secondary.

    Game balls to the entire receiving corps. They had some drops, but even those weren't due to mistakes on their part.

    Honorary game ball to Todd Haley. Time for him to get some props.

    Not me. We should have been gashing them with plays like the 25-yard game-icer to Heath all afternoon, considering they spent the entire game selling out to stop the run. They should have been made to pay much more dearly for loading the box with 8 and 9 guys all day. That's how you stopped the 2001 Steelers. But what did we do for most of the game? Runs up the middle and draws on first down and often on second down as well.

    I'm happy for the win, but no way should it have been as close as it was.

    Steelers did everything they had to do to beat a team they should, including that third and one at the end of the game, I don't know who called it and I don't care, but it was one of the best "nail-in-the-coffin", plays, that I've seen in a while.

    Good call. Looks like the Falcons game planned for Bell's running, but we just went in there with a handful of scripted plays. Didn't even go back much to the 3 TE package which was a guarantee against a better D last week.

    I actually agree with you, but it's funny how expectations can influence me. Given what I expected of Haley at the point, he surprised me with his willingness to read the situation for what it was (eventually) and do what was necessary. We needed to be bold at a certain point and use play action as a weapon to seal this win. I'm so used to us turtling and losing these types of games that perhaps I get overly praisey when we actually game plan correctly within a game. It gives me hope...

    ... but hope is dangerous because, man, my Steelers love to get my hopes up just to dash them against the jagged rocks of reality. I know those rocks are coming, but knowing isn't gonna make it hurt any less when they rip me to shreds.

    But that aside, woo-hoo!! Here's me enjoying the win!

    Agree. Ben should've had close to 450 yards this game.

    The refs are an embarrassment. But some went against us and some went our way. At the end of the game, the play action pass to Heath that clinched it, should have been called back. Ramon foster clearly moved before the snap. Don't know how they missed it? But thankful all the same that they did.

    I remember a few years back when everyone, including me, was ripping on William Gay. And now he's our best corner. Who would've thunk it..

    Loved the game and I actually watched this one! It was all good to me. We won. Got the third down when we needed it to win. Gay probably saved the day. Miller too with some great catches. I'm happy!!!

    I was among those people. I don't know whether this speaks more to the fact that he's improved or that the rest of the secondary is a full-on train wreck. Probably both. But I'll give him this - he used to be the one you could count on to fall down and leave his guy wide open, or be the one chasing 5 yards behind on those 60-yard joke touchdown passes. This time around, he's the only one you DON'T see doing that.

    Definitely played the second half as if not to lose rather than to win. Seems they've convinced themselves that as long as they win the turnover battle they're invincible. ( this comes from quotes I've seen through last week and was clinched by them not exploiting an obviously overloaded vulnerable defense.) Which works fine against the Falcons. But if they think that's going to get them anywhere as the stakes get higher they're kidding themselves. When you've got a franchise qb playing like a franchise qb turn him the fuck loose!

    Gay gets ripped when he is a starting CB....and rightfully so. He is a good nickel corner, but when put in as a #1 or #2 you get what we see week after week. A roller coater ride. Occasional great plays mixed in with his giving up big plays. It drives me absolutely insane to see him giving 10 yard cushions...but that's what you have to do when your not tall or fast.

    Gay makes the most of what he has...but he is NOT a starting CB in this league and his inconsistency is the most obvious proof of that.

    Willie Gay did Great and provided a spark early in the game. Antonio Brown one HELLUVA catch great toe tap late in the game. Every yard that Bell got in the run game was well deserved since the line wasn't opening any holes.

    For the most part I was ok with the offensive play calls but PLEASE get rid of that Damn bubble screen!!! Someone just rip that play out of the play books and burn it. On Defense please stop rushing only 3 it also doesn't work. I swear everytime we only rush 3 we get burned.

    Agreed, that play needs completely erased from their brains!
