Gameballs
Ben and the 3 headed monster at WR in Juju, Diontae, and Claypool.
Defense was lights out. Watt did his thing. Haden did his thing. Sutton had a nice game. Spillane had a nice game.
Overall a complete team effort.
Goats
The run blocking wasn't the best, but they really didn't try to establish anything. They put this one in Ben's hands.
Mason Rudolph.
Game Balls: Everyone with special mention to Ben (4 TDs whale of a game), TJ (typical awesome self with 2 sacks), and Claypool (2 TDs, good to see another nice productive game from him)
Goats: None
We are in week 10 and the NFC east have only 2 wins outside of their division
Honestly, historically, it typically hasn't been much of a rivalry (at least one that isn't lopsided). The biggest moments of the rivalry typically have been the Bengals running their mouths of about the Steelers (Chad Johnson era) or the Bengals intentionally trying to hurt Steeler players (Vontaze Burfict era)Originally Posted by polamalubeast
The run blocking has to be fixed. It's horrendous.
1. Graham Barton, C, Duke 2. Ricky Pearsall, WR, Florida 3. Maason Smith, DT, LSU 3. Max Melton, CB, Rutgers 4. Blake Fisher, OT, Notre Dame 6. Tommy Eichenberg, ILB, Ohio State 6. MJ Devonshire, CB, Pittsburgh

Great team effort today, so Team game ball!
No Goats today
I honestly thought of the 3 “easy games” this would be the hardest because the Bungles have been playing pretty good lately. Glad I was wrong.
Game Balls: Ben, WRs, TJ and Berry
Goat(s): Running game

SPECIAL GAME BALL: Terrible Towel Curse!
Joe Haden. What a day! Three passes defended, and I remember at least two of them, he laid out to knock the ball away. Had a great game.
Starting Linebackers. Between them, they had all four sacks, 4 tackles for a loss, 7 QB hits with Spillane equaling Dupree's contributions (that's not a knock on Dupree but a tip o' the cap to Spillane.
Ben R. I hesitated here because his completion percentage didn't even reach sixty percent. However, the weather was wet and windy, and yet Ben threw the ball for 333 yards, 4 TDs, and no ints. Morever, he got rid of the ball rather than taking sacks as he has all year. But even more important, he was starting to make some Big-Ben plays. Stepping up in the pocket and throwing the ball while being hit, and still getting the completion (and I believe TD at one point).

WRs, especially Johnson, JuJu, and Claypool. Can't give them gameballs because their reception percentage was below 50 percent. Even in weather, that's not acceptable. However, they put out some effort in that game and continue to impress.
McCloud. Mark my words. He is going to break one all the way for a TD soon.
Berry. What's gotten into him? He had almost a 50 yard average today on 7 punts, putting 4 inside the 20 and only one touchback.
Goats
Whoever kept calling running plays outside the tackles.
Steelers won, Ravens lost
Yup, trying to run East-West like its Austin Peay on the other side that was scheduled for homecoming. Actual NFL O coordinators know that you have to run the ball between the tackles before a lot of that outside stuff opens up, and even then you are better off-tackle than trying to run a jet sweep or fly, because the hashmarks are different than college.
Benny Snell lost contain on the punt fake by the Bengals, gets an honorable mention goat, but honestly....why do you have a slow RB on the outside of the punt rush, when he couldnt contain a spilled pint of milk in his kitchen, let alone a punt fake.
I was thinking this exact same thing once the Patriots beat the Ravens.Steelers won, Ravens lost

Goat: Patriots for winning
Game Balls - Ben, TJ Watt, WR Room, Defense, Berry, McCloud
Goats - Run Blocking
A special game ball to Danny Smith. If we are going to rip him weekly (and he does indeed suck 51 weeks per year), we have to give him credit for a good game. After last week’s debacle, he had his coverage units playing hard, making sure tackles, and stripping the football. Boswell & Berry had plenty of time. And, we had a few very good returns.
Yes, there was the fake punt... but, for Danny Smith to go an entire game making only one gaffe, that’s a WIN.
Cam Sutton has a strip in each of the last three games.
Weren't they bottom 10 in rush offense in 2008 anyway?

The only time I'd argue that's not true is if you're running someone like Willie P. against a Run Defense that has big-uglies sitting in a 4-3 defense. Of course, anymore, those big-uglies are still running sub-five second 40s, so it's iffy.

I really don't care for his personal habits, thank you very much.
Don’t judge...I really don't care for his personal habits, thank you very much.
He’s just trying to put himself through college.
You two just took this thread sideways.Don’t judge...
