At 52-14 right now with 11 minutes left in this game, it's not too early to give the game ball!
My game ball is Roethlisberger in offense with 5 TD and 3 incompletion and a perfect QB rating!
In defense, the pressure on Newton was unbelievable!

Game ball goes to the whole team. Dominant performance like that? Superb job. For good measure, 2 game balls to Ben and the front 7

Game Ball: THE WHOLE TEAM, EVERY DAMN UNIT KICKED ASS TONIGHT
Goat: yeah, right.
Nice turnaround from 1-2-1 and the AFCN basement.
Game ball to Tomlin. The entire team brought it after a really good road win against the Ravens on a short week.

Game Ball:
Ben
O Line
D Line
DBs
Special Game Ball: Coaches. That was the most complete team effort I have seen since the Steelers beat the undefeated Eagles and Patriots back-to-back with 42 and 43 minutes of ball-possession.
Honorable Mention: Dupree. I have no idea how or why, but it seems like someone has flipped the lightswitch for him. Great to see. Better late than never. At this point, he's well on his way to earning that option the Steelers exercised on him for next yea.
Goat: Refs. I love Vance's TD, but it should have been overturned. Also, that first down later in the game was a real stretch (at this point, I think the refs were just trying to get the game over with as well).
Funny you should mention that because I thought about the same thing and the possibility that they're peaking too early. Of course, that was rookie Ben and the team has a LOT more offensive weapons now.Originally Posted by Craic
Give credit where its due. Ben was profoundly superb tonight. No if's, and's, or but's about it.
I'm with '76 giving the GB to Tomlin for turning this ship around after 1-2-1 and looking quite horrid.
Fantastic team victory and destruction of a very good Panthers team.

Goat: AB's Porsche for getting caught
Second week in a row that I give it to the entire team (minus Burns) and coaches.
All units contributed and played winning football. Third down conversions were amazing.
Good win after the big road win in Baltimore.
The way the game started it looked like a letdown game but boy did they respond.
Game Balls: Ben, O-Line, Defense
Goat: Bostic and Danny Smith (because)
Mike Tomlin, great game plan
Big Ben gets my game ball. Plenty of positive plays by other members on offense and defense, but Ben is the clear winner of this game.

Game Ball - Steelers
Goat - Artie Burns
If we win the Super Bowl I think I’ll give season game ball to Mike Munchak.
I’ve never seen a Steelers O line this good. They make Conner great, they help make Ben great, they make our possession time great... they are the key to a great team.
Key stats:
- LeVeon Bell: 0 rush 0 yards 0TD 0 rec, STEELERS WIN

Game balls - everyone except Berry & Burns
Basically the whole team except the guy assigned to McCaffery.
You get a game ball, you get a game ball, and you get a game ball, everyone gets a game ball. except Artie Burns.
If this version of the Steelers keeps going, we have just as good a chance as anyone to take it all.
This is the Steelers team I really though we had preseason
Of course I thought we’d have Bell. I couldn’t have predicted that it wouldn’t affect my prediction.
Me too. Actually, this is what I think they've been capable of for a couple of years now, and with Haley gone, the offense is finally reaching its true potential. Hope they can sustain it and the defense continue to improve.
With how they've been playing the past few weeks, this is as good as a Steeler team I've ever seen. They remind me of the 2010 Packers, just playing all around solid football. If they stay healthy this team can be really special.If this version of the Steelers keeps going, we have just as good a chance as anyone to take it all.

I have often said in the past, but when our offense is healthy and Roethlisberger is not rusty,only Todd Haley who could stop our offense.
Of course 52 points help but the steelers are over 30 PPG for the first time(maybe ever)this late of the season.The steelers score at least 30 points 5 times in 9 games(0 time in the first 9 games last year)and one other game was at 28 points.
That was insane. I was expected a close game for at least the first half. Nope!
Game ball = yes. The whole team other than Burns, who did not grasp the brass ring that was offered to him.
Goat = Burns, sadly.
I legit felt bad for him on that penalty. trying to gain some confidence. That killed it
Yep, that very well may have been his "Sweed moment."

Sadly, that may be true. What's worse, he seemed to have corrected himself on that play and had good coverage until that happened.
Only penalty of the night, I believe. Lost his balance and body control and went straight to grabbing... his mo for the year.
