First time since 2010 the Steelers started 2-0. Better than 1-1 and 0-2.
Won a gutsy game in the rain against an AFC North foe.

Not one of Ben's best games but he threw 3 TDs and DeAngelo hung tough.
I'll take 2-0. No injuries.
On to the Iggles
A win is a win, especially a win over a division rival
Can't complain ?.....sure we can. Remember...we are Steeler fans! We will always find something to B!tch about ( Even in a Win )...I am including myself too. :-)
I just said to my daughter that I have never felt so bad with a 2-0 start. Steelers beat a division rival 24-16. Ravens beat a divisional rival 25-20. Which one do you think was a better win?
Since one of you had to win, I'm glad it was Pittsburgh. I cannot tolerate the Bungles or their fans.
Rumor on Twitter is Ben wasn't feeling well today. Had medical attention at least twice.
This is the Steelers first 2-0 start since 2010
WAAAHHHHH!!!!
Did they miss all the shit they got away with all day? AB needs to file police charges, he was mugged so badly.
That "TD" to the TE wasn't a TD. I think it was clear that there was only 1 foot in bounds
I agree. No style points needed. Just another W.
Some high points:
Coates - big play ability again
DW - tough yards in the trench
J James continues to look good catching the ball
Not much given up on the ground
We got lucky on a couple calls. They missed some on us, but overall we got the best end of the deal.
BTW, what's up with the fans bailing?! Almost empty stadium in the 4th. Ugly. You don't see that in places like Seattle and KC.

This game worried the hell out of me. The Bengals might be the best defense we play all year and our offense is nowhere close to where it needs to be yet. It's a work in progress. Consider after AB every other receiver on the field is new to the offense. Similar to the start of 14 when Ben had to adjust to losing Sanders and Cotchery this year he comes in having lost Bryant, Wheaton ( who hopefully will be back soon) and most of all Heath Miller. This offense wont fully hit it's stride until midseason (IMO) When Bell's back and Ben has better rhythm with these young receivers.

Ben was better in the second half.....The second quarter was very ugly too.The bengals have also a very good defense.
Not the best game ever, but I certainly will take it. Also note how our D limited the Bengals even though the O could never quite give them the big separation in points to pin their ears back. Although right now I am kind of wondering if they going to play that sort of defense even with a big lead.

Holy shit, they are all waiting for the Mothership to bring them back to their own planet.
We'd all be upset if we thought our team was jobbed on a call, but for crying out loud..... WWE?.......
How about the comment about the Patriots, Ravens, and Steelers all being 2-0, insinuating that the NFL wants those teams to be 2-0 and that it's all fixed. That's the thing about fans of teams with bad organizations, they just don't understand that there are better organizations than others, and that is why the same teams seem to win all the time.
They just can't accept the fact that they have never won anything because they haven't been good enough.
Oh well.
Obviously there are always things you can improve on, but I am thrilled that we're off to a good start this year.
You know what the most important thing is? That we came out of the gate looking like we are actually ready to play football, and seem pretty well organized as a team. No bullshit, no stupid mistakes, none of the stuff that usually contributes to one or two mindless losses early in the year. If we keep it up, we should only get stronger through the year as we get injured players and potheads back, and the rookies gain experience.
See you Space Cowboy ...
Cockrell was following A.J. Green all over the field. I'm not sure what more he has to do to get some love from Steelers fans. I thought he was terrific today. He only allowed 34 yards last week.
I'll take 2-0 and be very happy about it. No apology necessary for beating a team that has gone 43-20-1 over the last four years.
That was a good win today.
