Honestly, where does that game rank for you?

I've been a fan since 04 and today's game was definitely in my top 2 of all-time Heinz field games. The only game to rival it for me was the AFC championship when Troy picked six Flacco. I can only imagine what fans are saying who were actually at the game today....that would have been incredible. Just a huge win. #HereWeGo
 
Regular season win?


number 3 at worst

Been a fan(serious) since 98. Regular season game. Probably mid tier victory. Fave win recently was probably SB 43 or 2005(2006) playoffs against the Colts
 
It was huge, a season saving come back. A loss today and we need a lot of help to even got to the playoff's. Probably top five regular season for me to be sure.
 
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.
 
Been a fan since 97 and for a regular season this ranks up there with that 08 season where we beat the eagles with mcnabb and t.o...then we beat the pats the week after.

Were going to the super bowl. This teams confidence just sky rocketed.


Radbirds game will be over by half time. This offense us amazing.
 
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.
 
It's the second best win this season IMHO just behind last week's Cincy beating!
 
I have to say Super Bowl 9, never thought I would ever see the Steelers win anything since I started watching 1964. Bears game 04 was big. This game for us being behind the eight ball in playoffs for not wining earlier games was right up there. Especially the way we played the first half.

I watch one game a week anymore. This ranks up there as my number one game for this week.

It's up there. Probably best comeback in Steelers history.
 
A roller coaster of emotions game for me. Happy to pissed off to happy again. It was like watching two completely different football games between the first and second half. Good stuff!

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.
 
I don't know about rankings, but I was thinking as I was watching the second half that it kind of reminded me of the game against Chicago in early November of '95. That one resulted in an OT 37-34 win, got them to 5-4 and helped propel them to the SB.

As far as regular season games at Heinz Field? Definitely top 10, maybe higher. Just thinking off the top of my head, the Bus running over the Bears and the Townsend pick-six against the Cowboys easily rank above it, but have to think about some of the others.
 
If we make a run (especially if we win it all) I will always remember this game. Definitely one of my all time favorite regular season games
 
I think it was pretty similar to the Cleveland playoff....sorry chuckled a bit.....game in the 2002 season. Our defense was thrown all over in the first half and then the Tommy Maddox pass happy offense came back and won. There were even 2 plays that were very similar at nearly the same point. Back then Dennis Northcutt dropped what wouldve been a big 3rd down conversion and the "footsteps" drop of Davis was similar in nature and timing.

In terms of comebacks I will put it behind the 2010 Divisional playoff v Baltimore, because I really hate those @#$#$%@.

Regular season, I will go back to a game played ironically in week 15 in 1997 v the Denver Broncos. Think the deficit was 14 before Yancey had a great second half.
 
We were loud at Heinz today. Crowd definitely rallied behind the team.
 
I was pretty pissed of for much of the game .

As much as I hate Tomlin and love Ben even he does some really stupid **** at an unbelievable rate
 
This one and the browns playoff game are the first to come to mind when I think of great comebacks.. The Bengals Leading 31-13 I remember bengals players yucking it up going into the locker room at halftime as if the game was over and won.
The good guys won 49-31

In the 3rd Quarter of a must-win game against a Divisional foe in Week 12, the Steelers began to mount a ridiculous comeback with an Offensive explosion of sorts. Down 31-13, Pittsburgh needed points, and needed them fast. Thanks to a Bam Morris 1 Yard TD run, an Andre Hastings 15 Yard TD catch, and an Erric Pegram 2 Point Conversion, the Steelers had quickly moved to within striking distance of Cincinnati. Then Neil O’Donnell went for broke in the 4th Quarter to take the lead and looked to his Rookie jack-of-all-trades trough the air.

O’Donnell found Stewart in the seam on a deep pass, and Stewart broke about 3 Tackles on his way to the goal line. It was ridiculous because Stewart had zero experience at Wide Receiver prior to his Rookie season, yet here he was running routes like a champ and giving the Offense yet another added dimension. Pittsburgh took the lead for good at 35-31, and added two more Touchdowns by game’s end to make the score 49-31 and cap off an important comeback.

stupid INT aside, I thought the second half went as well as anyone could want or hope for.
 
Our best win in 4 years

That was our best win in the past four years.

#peaking at the right time.
