1) That was one of the best 4th quarters I've ever seen in any game. The fact that it was against the Ravens was sweet.
2) Two turnovers and we still score 31 against a very good D without Green or Coates or Bey. We will be better.
3) That final drive reminded me of the 08 SB final drive. Ben had that innate sense of where to move out of the pocket to and when to throw.
4) Took too long to run slants and crossing patterns with Brown. He's a huge weapon. You need to move him around just like you do with Bell. Its like taking candy from a baby when you throw a short crossing pattern to Brown in open space. Do it more!
5) I hate to say it because its been said too often already but I keep thinking how incredibly unfortunate it is that Martavius is a pothead. You can bring your safties over to Brown or stack the box with them against Bell but their arent enough safeties to provide support for all of them. Such a shame. He was that point of inflection when the advantage significantly weighted the scales towards the Steelers.
6) We won without Green Coates Tuitt and Heyward. We get back three of them pretty soon. Rest players against the Browns after a quarter or two. It should be treated like a preseason game. Just enough to avoid rust and that's it. Its like a bye week to bring back guys like Tuitt slowly.
7) The tale of two Bens. Usually you get Bad Ben and a loss or Good Ben and a win. We got both today and won. It was unique in that sense. Sure made for great drama but unforunately I stained my pajamas in the process. I still think he's a butthole of a person but as much as he frustrates me we are so fortunate to have him. He is a hall of famer. Look at the list of HOF QB's .....its full of impressive studs. Ben the occasional bonehead supremely belongs. The days of Malone Brister Tomzack Stewart and Maddox do not escape me. I'm glad we have the butthole. Lol
8) I started doing superstitious Karate Kid "Crane" stances in the fourth quarter. It was spontaneous and I was desperate but the second I started doing it the game changed. Your welcome.
9) Every time they show Mike there are two looks.....the Homer Simpson look of unaware or the Rah Rah Mike. That unfortunately forces me to agree with Terry who ironically also consistently sports the look of unaware.
10) I cooked a really really nice dinner and couldn't eat any of it......whewww now Im pigging out! I could eat dead bird right now!

Here we go.......
 
11) watching this special on Noll......he said .... I am here to teach you the game of football. I will never give you a motivational speech. If I have to motivate you to play this game I'll fire you. Does that not say it all??
 
This team rallied and put it together.....that 31 pts tonight were the most any team put up against a good Ravens defense this year. And we were without some contributors on offense.

Ben was in the moment on the last two scoring drives. He madd a couple big plays when under pressure .great come back one win to remember
Was watching in a bar here in Venice Beach Florida with a Ravens fan and what a happy feeling seeing Brown reaching over the goal line
Why do we use Grimsley to score a TD and never see him again.
 
Well I'll say this Antonio Brown earned much respect for his effort at the goal line vs three defenders to have the where with all to reach over the goal line while being facemasked by a Ratbird that I don't even know if it was called. And Ben I give him credit for hanging in there against a premeir NFL Defense after two bone headed INT's that almost put the game out of reach early. Great comeback Ben! Championship effort! KEEP IT GOING!!!

I didn't see Jarvis Jones on the field at all and that's GREAT! All you need to do now Tomlin is cut the bum!

Great job AB! Great job Steelers! MY CHRISTMAS WISH CAME TRUE! MERRY CHRISTMAS STEELER NATION! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

We get back Tuitt and Green soon, but I am ok with giving Ayers a little closer look-see.
 
After the game, while being interviewed on NFL Network, Bell and Brown referred to "The Juice" bouncing back.

Is that BR's nickname, and dare I ask what it means?

It is Bell's nickname.
 
I'll say this about this game. Watching the Ravens Defense fall apart in the fourth quarter was reminiscent of the 2012 Steelers with an aging Defense that lost leads in the fourth quarter of too many games. Their LB'ers in Suggs & Dumerville couldn't do crap against our O-line. I'm glad their so called vaunted Defense is getting old and slow!

Jones was a healthy scratch.
 
BR a "butthole"? For having a yo yo game? All great QBs have had them.

Here's a thought. Brown don't stick his arm out , we go into over time on a FG kick IF we even get the play off which is HIGHLY doubtful. Thus we would be home watching it.
 
Another,......Bud Dupree with 3.5 sacks THIS YEAR, not career...................
CUT uncle Jarvis as to best cap friendly cut.




Salute the nation

No, it was not called - and it was flagrantly obvious. Funny how not one announcer mentioned during the replay, "You know what? Brown had his facemask held for about 5 seconds, and gagging mother@#$%ers wearing striped shirts apparently are the only people who did not see it."

****, after Dungy called the mugging of Brown in the EZ earlier a "good no call", would you have expected anything different? These guys are paid NFL shills and the way this game was officiated today said that there was word from "up high" that the Steelers would get no calls.

If he doesn't stick his arm out we don't have enough time to kick the field goal since we had no timeouts left and the refs didn't call the face mask on Weddle where he almost turned AB's head around.

That non-call was ... unbelievable. Brown is an elite player - the best at his position. He gets grabbed and held when he is breaking clear for a TD, and nothing - no call.

@#$% you, NFL.

Then, as he makes a catch in traffic with the game on the line and the very best officiating called for, he has his facemask blatantly grabbed and again ... no call.

I will say this. After the no-call on the PI in the endzone, I said, "@#$% you, NFL" and changed channels for 10 minutes. Then tuned back in to the game (recorded) so that i could fast forward through the commercials.

Seriously ... @#$% you, NFL. @#$% you.
 
That was the kind of game I wish I was in a bar watching. That's 3 facemasks in 2 weeks not called in the (or breaking the plane of) the endzone...unbelievable. Funny how one play can change the entire tone across Steeler Nation. Just imagine if Brown didn't get in and the clock ran out. A lot of people would have had a **** fit calling for Tomlin to be fired (me included). I couldn't help thinking how you're supposed to build your team to win the division and it seems Harbaugh has our number. Glad I was proven wrong.

Good thing next week doesn't matter cause Cleveland is on a hot streak!

By landing their vaunted first win of the season they bungled away their #1 overall pick in the 2017 Draft. I hope someone else lands a great QB with that first overall pick. LOL Oh those Clowns!
 
Without a doubt they blew that call.

Nfl app highlight for last Brown Td shows him being facemasked as the freeze frame tease.
