Honestly, where does that game rank for you?

That was our best win in the past four years.

#peaking at the right time.

Im giving you the stink eye on this one. Playing from behind nearly all game and eking out a 1 TD win at home is not what I would call the best win in 4 years.
 
Might not be the best win, but it sure was a signature win and a statement to the NFL. It doesn't matter how good your defense is, we're going to ******* score on it!!!

Superbowl champions are rarely the best team in the league, instead they are usually the team that plays the best at the end of the season.

I've got a feeling.......
 
Very exciting win. A win that can galvanize a team into believing in themselves. But they were simply horrific in the first half and almost shot themselves in the foot at the doorstep of winning the game so I'm very hesitant to say best win. I view that as a dominating performance against a high quality opponent like beating the **** out of the Colts last season. or throwing 6 TD's against the Ravens last year. (And lets not kid ourselves the Ravens were a quarter away from AFC championship and probably a SB berth last year.)
 
I titled that game yesterday as"Dr. Jekyll, and Mr. Hyde"
 
Why do you say that ?

We have not won a playoff game in a long time. This win is vs a top level team. and likely puts us in the playoffs. The comeback was super sweet.

No, the Browns and the Bills have not won a playoff game in a long time. We appeared in the Super Bowl in February of 2011.
 
In terms of home regular season games that I can recall, this one is up there. I still would put the 2004 demolishing of the Patriots to end their streak at the top, though some of the luster was taken off that one due to what happened in the post season.

Ahhh..........Halloween I believe? I take some comfort in the lack luster post season game in the fact that we now know why there was such a difference....*coughsignalstealingcough*

It's the second best win this season IMHO just behind last week's Cincy beating!

Way better imo.....Cincy is a paper tiger....Denver is for real.
 
I was at the Cleveland playoff and you are correct, we could not stop one pass play and bam Tommy boy started hitting the passes , renegade was played the first time and we won. I sat underneath the speakers at score board, I will never forget that game or emotion, just as last night.
 
We're not talking about the huge playoff implications of this game without that bitchslapping of Bruce Arians in Week 6.

I loathe that empty backfield QB killer of a coach.

That win, engineered by 2 back up QB's, was especially sweet..........
 
I have watched Steelers games since 1970, so ... it is in the top 25, probably. Behind 6 Super Bowls, 8 AFC Championship games, the Immaculate Reception game, the 17-point playoff comeback vs. the Brownies, the 1977 Snow Bowl vs. the Bungles, and several others.

I'm with you; having been around (albeit very young) for 70's runs, this won't make top 10 or anything along those lines, but top 25 or so. It was special and colossal.
 
Seriously? How about the Rams SB when the Steelers were losing 19-17 in the 4th? How about the Cardinals SB? Hell even the Browns playoff game in 2002. 1989 Steelers vs. Oilers game. I can think of a bunch of comebacks better than this one.

It was 20 point deficit at one point. They scored early and often. It didn't look good. PLayoff hopes on the line. Come back and win. vs 2 pts against the rams.. I think Its much Higher.
