Steelers v. Bills - Who Gets YOUR Game Ball (and Game Goats?)

[HometownGal]

I have several game balls to award. Suisham obviously for kicking 4 FG's of 40+ yards and the game winner. Ben for his great play all the way around, though his stats don't really show how well he played. Mendy for keeping those legs moving all day long. Hines for the clutch catches he made and YES - BA for calling a great game. Have to add Troy in there for sure - his ass was on fire today and he saved us several times!


Game goats - our OL. Their damned penalties cost us in key situation many times when we were on the move. I have to give a quarter of the Game Goat to the Steelers D who came close to shitting the bed again.

[X-Terminator]

Stevie Johnson. Thanks for dropping the game-winning TD!

Game goat - OL. 6 holding penalties, 4 of which wiped out big plays including the catch by Sanders that would have ended the game in regulation. Pathetic.

[The Duke]

I have three- Memo for moving the chains every time we needed it, Troy for his saving INT and overall beastliness, and Sushi for being the hero

[Devilsdancefloor]

Game ball Mendy

Goat Oline they need a ass kicking

[fansince'76]

I'd like to give one to Mendy, but I can't due to the fumble which gave the Bills points. Guess I'd have to go with Suisham.

Game goat: OL

[Texasteel]

Didn't see the game but feel safe in saying the new kid on the block, Suishham.

Goat,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, O-Line.

[JayC]

sushi
redman
troy
ben
mendy

lots of guys almost lost this game for us if it wasn't for those guys^

[Indo]

Talk about pulling one out of our ass.
Just pathetic in the area of mental errors----waaaaaay too many penalties

Troy kept us alive

Suisham gets the game ball


Gay and Madison have to go-----

Thankfully Johnson was their Goat...



Baltimore will crush us if we don't get our shit together in the next 48-72 hours.

[Texasteel]

Game ball Mendy

Goat Oline they need a ass kicking

I think they just got one.

[steelpride12]

Have too many Balls so giving out 3! Memo for being clutch on a couple of big 3rd downs, Mendy for running for over 152 yards and setting the tone early, and of course last, but not least Sushi for the 4 FG's that were all over 40+ yards and 1 a game winner.

Goat- OL and mostly Kemo.

[hotrodder07]

Game Balls:

Suisham - Obvious Reasons
Polamalu - Great game from him. He came up huge when the game was on the line.
Mendenhall - Terrific game from him.

Goats:
Kemoeatu - I think there were 4 penalties against him today. And the one at the end of the 4th Quarter called back a play that would have sealed the deal.

[Edman]

Game Ball- Suisham, Mendenhall, Redman

Game Goats- Defense and Offense for falling asleep after going up 13-0, especially the Offensive Line.

Overall, I pretty much got what I expected this week. Steelers struggle on road to a subpar team and escape/probably lose. I'm not surprised or upset over it. It's just who they are. Can't be displeased with 8-3, though.

[Psycho Ward 86]

DAMN did we get lucky on this game.

Game Ball: Suisham. He scored 13 of our 19 points, so why not? His 1st game having an opportunity to kick field goals and he nails all 4 of them from 45, 46, 48, and the game winning 41 yarder. That is a clutch performance by that son of a gun!

Game Goat: The O-line, especially Kemoeatu and Scott. Kemo I can kind of understand, because he's going up against one of the best interior linemen in the league (Pouncey had trouble against him to, and rightfully so). Scott had a tough assignment against Stroud also, but seriously you guys, stop shooting us in the foot with those damn penalties! Those penalties turned 2 TD drives into 2 field goals!


I can't give the gameball to Ben because he fizzled out in the 2nd half after a strong 1st half showing. The same goes with Mendenhall, strong 1st half, weak 2nd half. He really turned it up in OT though, but hey, situationally, the two weren't very good in the 2nd half.

[Butch]

Gotta agree with HTG

Suisham, Troy,

Big time GOAT O-line but will throw in they are pretty banged up but those damn penalties damn near killed us today. Very little push on run plays thank goodness Mendy was able to make the most of his runs by bouncing them to the outside.

We didn't get many breaks bounce our way but the dropped pass was huge. Thank the football Gods for that.

Wish we coulda got to big blow out wins in a row but I'll take the win all the same.

[salamander]

Game Ball: Troy, Sushi, Ben, Mendy, MeMo, Redman, and Stevie Johnson. lol.

Goat: O-Line

[Polamalu Princess]

Suisham, Troy, Mendy and Ben for me.

[Bluecoat96]

Game ball goes to Sushi- and of course to Stevie Johnson.

My thoughts exactly

Honorable Mention Old man Hines 7 rec. 107 yds

[stillers4me]

Sweeeeeeeeezum!!! And just for the record, we listened to the Buffalo broadcast on XM until we got home for the last 40 seconds of regulation. One of their announcerscould never pronounce Kemoeatu right.

[tube517]

Suisham didn't make those FG's down the middle...bring back Jeff Reed!

[VTsteel]

Game ball: Mendy - Awesome when he needed to be (great players arent always great - they are great when they need to be)

Honorable Mention: Troy - Flying around making plays

Yeah the O-line needs help. However, lets not forget that they line is comprised of back-ups, a rookie and an old fogey (Adams)and but 1 starter from last year. trouble with communication? trouble w/ continuity? of course! However, I think that they played o.k. given the time they've all spent together. That being said . . . we need to build upon our run success in OT.

Good win today against a pretty o.k. team

[Devilsdancefloor]

I think they just got one.

well sorta, but it wasnt hard enough for me! i hope the coachs are kicking their collective asses as we speak!! pads all week for them would be a good thing as well

And a 2mile run for every penalty acquired in the next game.

[Wallace108]

Game ball: my heart.

[SteelerFanInStl]

Game ball - Sushi and Mendy

Goat - Kemo and Scott

[steelreserve]

Game ball - Suisham (duh)

Goat- Kemo.

Not the OL as a whole, by the way. Just him. I think all but one of the holding calls were on him, plus he was just getting his ass kicked all day long. The rest of the OL wasn't great, but at least they were passable. I don't care who he was going up against; Kemo just had a stink bomb of a game.

[memphissteelergirl]

Game Ball to Suisham and Troy-they were clutch when we needed it
Honorable Mentions: Big Ben, Mendy, and MeMo

Game Goat: I agree with the consensus: O-line. Ridiculously undisciplined....costly penalties.

[BigNastyDefense]

Game Balls - One to Polamalu who saved us a few times....one to Suisham for making those field goals.

Game Goat - The offensive line, just poor play and the penalties have to stop.

[SteelerEmpire]

Swiss-Ham !!!

[BlastFurnace]

Game Ball: Mendenhall and Suisham

Game Goat: The offensive line. Year in and year out, they are the worst O'line in the league.
