It's a very close call, but Ben gets my game ball today. He was harried, but never sacked and only off target once.

More good news: Cleveland lost. We're no longer basement roomies

Game Ball: Ben. Then Conner, JuJu, AB O-Line and D-Line. Ben audibles that call to AB on the game winner. That was all him and he played very well. FORGOT: Vance McDonald...not sure how, but I did...lol.
Goats: Danny Smith Special Teams. Coaching. Tomlin botched two challenge situations. Also, Artie Burnt. Do the Steelers have the decision to make this year on picking up Burnt’s 5th year?
Game Ball - offensive line. They played flawlessly.
Goat - Cam SUtton and the defensive plan to ask him to repeatedly deal with a TE that had him outsized by like half a person. Burnett and Allen need to get ready to play so that this secondary doesn’t have to keep putting its DBs in no win situations.
Lot of game balls: Big Ben (another drive), Conner (another 100 yard multi-TD game), AB (has been starting out slow in games, but once again clutch), Vance McDonald(beastly on some catches), O-line (great game today) a season best.
Goats: Tomlin (challenge flag incompetence almost cost them), Fichtner (red-zone play-calling on that drive before Cincy took the lead was atrocious), Defense (disappearing act near the end of both halves), Special teams (those big long returns, smh), refs (Barfass gets away with another cheap shot)

Wow Burns not mentioned as a goat. I guess people didn't want to confuse him as Greatest of All Time using the word Goat.
Gameball: Ben, o-line, juju
goat: refs for missing the Conner TD and Tomlin for calling a challenge on the wrong play (should have been a challenge on the Conner actual TD instead),
Also, not a goat, bit if we lost he would be: Haden, had two passes he should’ve picked off. This game would not be this close if he gets even one of those. Gotta make those plays against the pats and jags.
Burns should no longer see the field.
Hopefully Burnett is ready to go after the bye so Sutton can replace Burns.
1. Amarius Mims, OT, Georgia 2. Zach Frazier, C, West Virginia 3. Roman Wilson, WR, Michigan 3. Renardo Green, CB, FSU 4. Mo Kamara, OLB, Colorado State 6. Logan Lee, DT, Iowa 6.Khristian Boyd, NT, Northern Iowa
Burns didn’t play well,a t all. But Sutton was identified and targeted every time Cindy needed to move the chains. If he made at least 2 pass defenses, Bungles are never in position to win this game.
But if my AUnt had balls she’d be my uncle. So....both guys are simply not playing well at all right now.
Road Ben,Conner,AB,McDonald and the offensive line.
1. Amarius Mims, OT, Georgia 2. Zach Frazier, C, West Virginia 3. Roman Wilson, WR, Michigan 3. Renardo Green, CB, FSU 4. Mo Kamara, OLB, Colorado State 6. Logan Lee, DT, Iowa 6.Khristian Boyd, NT, Northern Iowa
Also, great time for a bye week. Bell should be back in the fold, not sure how that will play out because no way can you play him over Connor whom is playing like a franchise back.
As mentioned above, Burnett should return which should help the middle of the defense on passing downs.

Much focus on Roethlisberger's stats on the road in the last couple years, but the steelers as a team are much better on the road since last year.
9 wins in 11 games since last year on the road ..... only 7-5 at home including our playoff game.
Heroes: Schuster, Conner, O-line, BR, McDonald, Haden
Goats: OLBs, Burns, Tomlin
Hater = Realist
Game balls - Ben, Conner, O-line, JuJu, McDonald
Goats - Burns, special teams, Tomlin on challenges
This from a Cincinnati Enquirer columnist
“I knew it was over after we scored,’’ Tyler Boyd said. He hasn’t been here very long.
“Nothing’s too big for’’ Roethlisberger, said A.J. Green, who has....
The thought remains that the Bengals can’t beat the Steelers, and if they can’t beat the Steelers, what’s the point?

The Dude is the worst Challenger in the league by a mile. Stupid ass plays by his guy instead of actual knowledge proof evidence rules .
Had to listen slash watch inline while in a long drive today. Sounds like Ben and Conner get game balls. If they could finish drives I the second half they would have been up by multiple scores

I modified it a bit. That said, during the bye week, we need to figure out the exact rankings. (In a few days, I’ll start a thread for discussing this... since we won’t have much to talk about for a week.)
Oh... it’s only at level “Woodhouse” because, that drive at the end of the first half stole all of the momentum that the offense had just accrued. Scores are going happen, but the timing of that touchdown was awful... ergo, I dropped them a spot based solely on the timing.
Likewise, they dropped an additional spot, because they gave up the go-ahead touchdown (a stop ends the game). So, again, the timing dropped them down an entire spot.
21 points = no higher than Benson
drop one spot for end of half
drop one spot for end of game
The Teegre has spoken. So shall it be done
