I didn't think this would be mentioned cause of the loss but I felt the need to bring it up...

Man, that was a thing of beauty. Perfectly executed. No one on the cowboys defense was ready, especially on the defensive line. Unfortunately, left cowboys with too much time.What a shame it had to be in a losing effort.

No blame on Ben for this one, the guy played at an unbelievable level. Valuable time left in his career is being wasted because of the atrocious defense. How do you play 15 yards off the WRs and TEs in that last drive. Since Tomlin won't be fired, Butler has gotta go.

That was awesome. The losses hurt for him. You can see it in his eyes that he puts all he has in him
 
A shame what could have been one of the greatest plays in Steeler history will be forgotten because of a bunch of scrubs on defense.
 
yeah Ben truly is something special.......

To be fair the guy covering AB looked to be ready. Coverage look pretty damn good...Just a great pass and catch.

Yeah, I mean he saw AB running, he knew he had to run with him at that point but still he was a step or 2 behind and that was enough.
 
Absolutely! Perfect throw too. Just out of reach of the defender and bell just standing there was great.
 
Great play and Ben played very well. But he is hampered by a **** defense, **** coaching, and an offense that spends half these games disjointed.
 
It was a beauty play. I just felt it was a timeout situation. March it the last 12 -15 yards and leave 20 seconds.

I get your point.... but he was right there...not a step or two away....Just a perfect pass and good catch. Now the rest of their defense looked like ours on an average play.

I don't know...the play was there and they took it. If your defense can't hold for 40 some seconds against a rookie QB........well that sucks.

I soon as I saw Cowboys had 42 seconds and 3 TOs... my excitement died down a bit. I knew it was going to be a challenge for this putrid defense.
 
Cowboys were ******* stupid to think they would spike it given that they still had a TO remaining.

The players sold it perfectly. They all stood there without giving any indication they were running a play ('cept for Ben and AB). Yeah, that was a beautifully thrown ball with tight coverage.
 
The whole drive was good and the fake grounding and TD to Brown was outstanding. Then there was 42 seconds left and our defense. Just a shame the way it ended.
 
It was an amazing drive and he executed that pass to perfection. There was a lot of time left on the clock, but you take the points when you get them when you're down and in need of a touchdown.

42 or 43 seconds......the new NFL.
 
Did anyone notice, when he was signaling to spike it. he gave a thumbs up. that had to be the signal to Brown.

They were down one with three time outs and an outstanding kicker. Old or new NFL, that's a ton of time.

Speaking of kickers...I'm becoming less and less confident in Boz's FG kicking every week. Yes, it was a 55 yarder but their guy kicked that 53 yarder like it was nothing.

Not to mention, the kickoff out of bounds by him. Special teams has been bad lately.
 
Boz sucks over 50, but by god, Tomlin's gonna keep putting him out there.

SORRY, but not one of the greatest plays in STEELERS history. A great play but when you have such a storied franchise as this, there are far to many great plays for this to be one of them.



Salute the nation

So you would not have taken that shot right before the half? Now if our WR would of made the catch it would have been drastically shorter. There is plenty to ***** about Tomlin but him trying the FG right before half is not one of them. Some ***** just to ***** though I think.
