Game Balls, Game Goats & FU's.........vs Broncos Week 2

You mean 4 of the top 7!!

Man I was leaving Tuitt out. And here some of us were thinking he was quiet lately..
 
300 plus yards and a 98.7 rating, not bad for rusty and lacking zip. 117 rating last week.

Ben's rating would have dropped about 10 points if the dude from the Broncos had caught the ball right in his hands in the end zone in front of DJ on the Steelers' first scoring drive. That throw was horrendous.
 
My game goat is the stupid phony crowd noise. It's annoying and insulting. The announcers will talk about how they can hear the players talking on the field, but all we hear is bullshit fake cheering.

Another game goat was the ticky-tack one-sided refs. I thought the Steelers were the home team! You could just about count on the refs bailing out the donks on a failed 3rd down in the 2nd half. 6 first downs by penalty, compared to the Steelers 0.

As others have said, the play calling is terrible. Let Ben call the plays. And rip the stupid 1 yard curl route for no gain out of the playbook. Thought we got rid of Switzer. That was his specialty. Quit wasting downs, quit wasting drives. The game should have been over in the 3rd quarter.
 
Since Washington didn't play much as a rookie, these first two games are Ben's first real in game experience with 3 out of 4 of his WRs.
They should keep getting better and better.
