9-0

Unlike some posters around here, I'd rather the Steelers win than be right!

I picked them to lose, because I thought they'd have trouble with a pure passer. This is going to be the last time I pick against this team. They can stop any offense

Still not a complete game, but the most complete game they have played all year, and my heart did not go into palpitations! So I'll take it!!!

I think this makes Ben 11-0 against the past decade of Heisman winners
 
I'm complaining about the running game after a 36-10 win because I can.

Hey its not complaining, its something they better work on or its going to come around and bite em on the backside.
 
with 9 wins the Steelers are one game behind the win total of the NFC East (10)
 
Great win. Was good to see the secondary step up, but that's generally how it goes when we play rookie QBs (unless they're a no-name backup making their first career start).

I want to see more of Snell. Conner can't do anything without a hole and when he does have space he is incapable of running straight without doing a ******* titty shake like he's tassel-twirling. He's not athletic, he doesn't have burst, he can't run outside, and he dances every chance he gets. The one good thing he can do is break tackles. Snell makes more out of nothing and runs harder.

they need to start trying to pound the ball....it may not work the first several times, but eventually you wear the ******* down and break through

I can agree with that. We've been clamoring for play action for literally a decade-plus. Stop the ******* runs out of shotgun with an already plodding RB and give him a head of steam out of I formation. Like tape said, too many 2 point stances which are anathema to leverage in the running game.
 
I feel better now that we pounded a bad team :) 9-0 is all matters, and next week 10-0
 
Feels great for sure, that was a fun game.

Agree 100% that we need to get the runnin game going. Where was Derek Watt? I thought he was healthy and dressed?
 
Good win. This team is pretty good. I am so hoping they put it all together do what they are capable of doing for 4 quarters. If they do that, it won't matter who they are playing, because that opponent has no chance.
 
9-0 is great. If only they could run block 25% better, I'd be a lot more confident in this team's chances to win it all.

He played, he just missed his blocks and then was primarily ST. He needs to get his timing down right, he has missed a lot of football.
 
I picked the Bungles to win. Definitely gave them more credit than they produced. The game was in some crappy weather so glad we held onto the ball and didn't give up any turnovers.

Or eventually you wear Berrys right leg out....
 
As we get into weather, we gotta learn how to run block. Forgot to mention how the loss of Munchak for this OL has made us a worse run blocking team. There's going to be a game sooner than later where the weather will dictate run and we need to be able to pound it. Right now we are not that football team.
 
 
ClayNation in the house !. I think the Steelers may very well look for a back next year if things don't make a turn for the better. We'll know more from this point on if it is a back problem or blocking problem or both. You need some kind of running game, but it's been dreadful.
