Heroes and Goats

[Steeldude]

Heroes: Schuster, Boswell, D-line

Goats: Coaching

[ALLD]

Heroes:
Ben
Shazier
Juju
AB
Martavis

DL


Goats:
Burns needs discipline or bench him.
Haley for taking 3 quarters to warm the team up.
Danny Smith does some things okay, but he is a weak link with no discipline of assignments. The gunners ran right by our defenders like they weren't even there. Mel Blount would at least chip one to slow him up if not for a fraction.

haden has a broken fibula thats gonna hurt big time

Shit.

[Mojouw]

haden has a broken fibula thats gonna hurt big time

Well that solves the Cam Sutton issue.

Unless they think they can hold a roster spot and get Haden back for the playoffs?

I think our secondary just took a major hit losing haden

[ALLD]

That's 8 weeks.

Sutton may be getting a uniform for needing bodies in secondary

Waiting to hear about Mitchell too

Need to cut someone first. Sutton is not officially on the roster yet.

hopefully sutton can come along quickly and Im not worried about mitchell, Id rather golden take over any way..mitchell is a liability and I think hes gone after this season

I would rather have Mike Mitchell playing than 2 of Robert Golden playing.

[SteelMayhem72]

I will agree to disagree

[Craic]

Let's do this in reverse order:

Goats:

First half Ben R. What a horrible performance. And then, when he did put the ball where it could be caught by one of our receivers, they couldn't even do it, and that included AB.

First half WRs. I have never seen AB misjudge a ball like he did on that deep throw. Bryant didn't even come back to fight for the ball on the first-drive INT. There were other miscommunications and Ben is too much the veteran for them to all be his fault. No way.

Joe Haden's fibula.

Special teams - with special mention of Boswell. Bounces a kick off the uprights from that close a distance? Thankfully he put it behind him.

Heroes

Second half Ben. The second half of today's game was the first time all year I saw flashes of the old Ben. When he scrambled to his left and hit the receiver, it felt like a breath of fresh air. It's almost as though something finally clicked into place.

Second half WRs. Ju-Ju took the game on his shoulders down the stretch. What a great pick up in the draft. Bryant did do a lot, but when he got the ball, he looked as though he had a fire in him, getting as many yards as possible. And then, Brown's lone catch in what felt like the entire second half—he always shows up when he is needed.

Defense. For two years, this team was winning games because the offense was bailing out the defense. Now, it's reversed. This season is starting to remind me a little of 2008.

HM

We had our normal performers, especially on defense. But I think a call-out to Dupree is warranted today because he seemed to take a step forward.

Artie Burns on the Run. Did anyone see Burns close the distance and decleat the RB today? I gotta give him props.

This loooks like the play with the big completion to AB on the last drive. Being able to do this is what will get Ben to Canton

. Did anyone see Burns close the distance and decleat the RB today? I gotta give him props.

Was that the most consequential play that Burns was involved in this Sunday? I seemed to recall him doing an Antowan Blake impression to give up 6 points.

Ben's a goat? Wow. Wait until this team doesn't have a qb again.

[steelcityboyz]

Ben's a goat? Wow. Wait until this team doesn't have a qb again.

I'm saying it took Ben almost the whole game to get into a rhythm, Ben is supposed to be an elite QB in some people's opinions so yeah he was a goat today. I agree with you about not having Ben anymore. Don't get me wrong I like Ben and am not looking forward to seeing him go, but today and this season he's not playing well.

[hawaiiansteeler]

Ben's a goat? Wow. Wait until this team doesn't have a qb again.

let's all not forget Cliff Stoudt, Mark Malone, David Woodley, Bubby Brister, Todd Blackledge, Neil O'Donnell, Steve Bono, Jim Miller, Scott Campbell, Mike Tomczak, Kent Graham, Tommy Maddox, Charlie Batch, Byron Leftwich, Dennis Dixon, Michael Vick and Kordell Stewart...

And also remember that Mark Malone was a first round pick!

Good hustle play by the Outlaw on the blocked kick.

WHich is good because early reports are saying he missed the block that let the dude swat the kick!

[Shoes]

Haley and these end arounds to Bryant need to stop. No one is fooled by them except Haley.

Sorry to hear about Haden but I'm surprised he played this long without being injured. Seems like he was always hurt with the Browns.

[fansince'76]

Haley and these end arounds to Bryant need to stop. No one is fooled by them except Haley.

Agreed. Nice 7-yard loss to start off the game-winning drive. Fortunately, they possess just enough talent to keep bailing him out.

[SteelerFanInStl]

Heroes: JuJu, DLine, Shazier, Ben

Goats: Coaching staff, the whole team for the first 3 quarters

[AtlantaDan]

Heroes - JuJu, end of game Ben, D-line

Goats - Haley (although "call the fucking play" during the 2 point conversion cluster was pretty good), everyone else until midway through third quarter, and JuJu TD celebration

That is pretty obscure and marketed to hard core fans and other players - JuJu apparently has now reached the indie film maker stage of his celebrations where it is "art" marketed to a limited highbrow audience

[BlackAndGold]

Ben stepped up in the 2nd half, and thankfully he did.

He frustrates the shit out of me.

[EzraTank]

Heroes: Jesse James & Berry for hustling and making that 2 point tackle.

Goats: Coaching. No excuse for laying such a turd after a bye week against a BAD team.
