Well this game started off good until our first FG attempt. From that point on it was a sloppy friggin mess in all three facets of the game. It ended in heartache with Ben doing his best Russell Wilson impression tossing it into the endzone for an INT to ice the game for the Broncos. I'm so frustrated by this game more than any other game this season because the Steelers shouldn't have lost this game. They left at least 13 points on the field down there....the blocked FG on the opening drive, the TD that wasn't when Grimble got crushed by a friggin safety and fumbled the ball out of the endzone....then Conner's fumble on the final play of the 3rd QTR that took another potential 3 points and possibly a TD off the board. A very sloppy game all around by a Steelers team that is much better than this. Now with only five games to go before the end of the season they will need to win at least 3 of the last 5 and two of those games are vs Pats & @ Saints. I honestly think Brees and the Saints will hang 60 on the Steelers Defense and it won't even be close. New England always seems to have our number.....they better kick it up a notch for a final run into the playoffs or Tomlin and company can wave buh-bye to the playoffs. So discouraged by this loss.....ruined my holiday weekend.
Game Balls
Juju Smith Schuster - 13 rec 189 yds 1 TD a 97 yd TD catch and run...a STEELER RECORD!
Chris Bowell - Great throw on the fake FG play....nice pass
Allejandro Villanueva - Not only played great on the O-line but caught the throw from The Boz on the fake FG.
Chuck Okofora - This kid can play! Going up against one of the best pass rushers in the NFL Von Miller he did a great job except for a few plays in the 4th QTR where he looked winded...this kid is the future at RT
Game Goats:
Ben Roethlisberger - 2 INT's again today first one not your fault but....you weren't the only reason we lost but you were a worthy contributor. Gotta improve and get better...this team lives and dies with you.
James Conner - Seeing this kid on the bench in the 4th QTR after his fumble he looked Defeated....pick yourself up Conner and get better from this
TJ Watt, Anthony Chickilllo & Bud Dupree - 1 tackle for Watt, 0 tackles for Chickillo & 0 Tackles for Dupree......Cmon guys.....you were invisible today in the pass rush and played like complete dogshit! 1 ******* TACKLE! UNREAL!
Sean Davis - You missed too many damn tackles today kid! AWFUL!
Xavier Grimble - You got blasted and crushed by a friggin Safety on the 1yd line when all you had to do was run through him and protect the football. You did neither and cost us a sure TD. He's not a Steeler! TOO SOFT!
Terrell Edmunds - yes he had 8 tackle but a really rough game....bit too much on play fakes and play action...often out of position because of it giving up key 3rd down conversions
Morgan Burnett - 1 assist on a tackle. He played a good portion of the game and was invisible when he was in the game
James Washington - 3 targets and 0 catches....should have caught two of those throws and especially the one that was right in his hands down the right sideline that he dove for....he didn't have to dive for it....he just needed to CATCH THE DAMN BALL and that was a TD!
FU's:
Antonio Brown - I've watched the play over and over and he gave up on Ben's scramble and throw...you watch the play and Brown was jogging to try and get to the ball....as it was picked off. The old AB would never half-*** a route and give up.....HE GAVE UP! The INT cost us dearly and two plays later Denver tied it. Your 2010 Classmate Emmanuel Sanders played a better game today! GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR *** AB!!!
