What the $!@# has gotten into Ben and this offense !!! 94 pts ???

[blitzburghv5]

Im not complaining...........but goddamn im lovin the explosion. It took time to get this motor humming but ****.....This offense can score points with anybody. Defense, while gettin better is still suspect but 30 pts seems a non issue. Its been a long time since we have seen offense like this.....this is potent.

ABrown, MWheaton, and Martavis........damn these kids are answerin the call. Game ball to #7. Playin out of his mind these last two games....

3 straight, 6-3, half game out of first and in the thick of the wildcard with 7 to play. Optimism. Week 8 wasnt a fluke i guess..........DAMN THIS IS NICE TO EXPERIENCE.

FEAR THIS OFFENSE NOW ******* !!!!

 

[slashsteel]

Yes Brown/Wheaton/Bell/Bryant

a lot for a D to handle

[sarcasm font] Trade Ben now! Landry can do it too! [/sarcasm font]

The line did not look real good today. Foster looked horrible at times, might need fister in for him and Adams in for gilbert, beachum looked like he needed to sew a drum to his uniform as well cause everyone was beating him.

But hey they scored off of some great defense turn overs.

 

[Hineswardkickedurpanzyass]

AB is the best WR in the league, Bell is easily in the top 5 RBs in his 2nd year. Ben is easily the hottest QB in the league. Sprinkle in some Martavius, Wheaton, Blount, Heath, and an Oline that is playing pretty well and hot damn, we got us a potent offense!

Yes, they SCORED off of some great defensive turn overs. So, that makes it a TEAM win in a TEAM game. I'll take the win.

Screw Landry Jones.....he should be our #4 QB.....right behind Brad Wing #2 & Bruce Gradkowski #3 QB.

 

[Steel Not A Player]

This was predictable though. By week 5 we were 4th in the NFL in total offense. We were going up and down the field on everybody, but we couldn't finish drives. Between the 20s we were gold, and bogged down time after time.

Once that got fixed it was watch the **** out.

 

[skline00]

I'm happy for Big Ben. He worked VERY hard in offseason and you can now see the results. We have a LONG way to go. After the preseason and the first 4 games I thought this team would fall apart but I was wrong. Sure helps that Ben shined through AND Harrison and Kiesel are playing so well. I now have a feeling these younger Steelers are going to catch that Harrison/Kiesel fever and look out! Did you see Truitt tonight?

Back to Ben, though the O line struggled tonight with Baltimore and Ben took some shots, he still made them pay dearly.

6-3 heading into the tough part of our schedule sure is a LOT better than 3-6!

Don't you mean the soft spot? We've got TEN and NYJ then a bye. Both those teams are garbage, then we get a week off. We could easily be 8-3 and rested going into our matchup with the Saints. If we win and Cincy loses just one game during that stretch, we lead the division.

We're in excellent shape, so long as we don't take our foot off the gas and play down to weaker opponents. Here's hoping we keep blitzing and keep throwing.

 

[Steeltime]

If Shazier can stay on the field, and if Troy's injury is not too bad, then the defense is going to make significant strides very quickly. The defense was substantially better tonight than it was in week 2. The front 7 controlled the running game, applied very good pass pressure, make Flacco noticeably uncomfortable, and forced the Ravens to earn every yard.

Put a good defense with this offense ... and something is brewing here. This does not look like the team that lost to the awful Buccaneers. Not even close. If the two teams matched up next week, the Steelers win by 28.

Kudos to Tomlin for that. The team remained on task, despite the Tampa embarrassment and the thrashing by the Browns.

 

[STEELERS R GR8]

Nice to see this team clicking, we got off to a pretty shaky start but man when it turned on holy **** did we look unbeatable or what? The line has some spots of concern but is playing well, the wr's are showing they are second to none, Bell and Blount are a nice mix and Heath is the most underrated TE in football. The last part of this is Big Ben, there is not a better, tougher, team player out there right now playing the QB position. BB is playing lights out and when things get tough he is not a little cry baby like some other QB's (Manning) when they lose and blame the WR for not running a good route or the line for not blocking. I am just hoping that with 2 "easier" games coming up we don't let off the gas pedal.....

 

[TDX27]

I felt this offense could do this back during OTA's. I knew they could light up the scoreboard and now they are. The O has a swagger now and should. The D looks to be getting a little swagger back especially with that performance by the old guy last night.

 

[Drink IRON City]

You guys / gals are all looking at this wrong, Its the newly remodeled "small" bath room they installed, near the Home bench!!!! On away games, the got this equipment box looking porta poty. BOTH are finished similar to the classic miledgeville (sp) vintage.



Salute the nation

 

[Steelr4evr]

It's not how you start,but how you end! They still have accomplished nothing on the season. The division is neck&neck. Not much room for error.

 

[GMC]

If Shazier can stay on the field, and if Troy's injury is not too bad, then the defense is going to make significant strides very quickly.

Hopefully both are minor. More concerned about Shazier, as they lose quite a bit of speed with him out. Allen has always played well in place of Troy and hopefully Thomas is getting healthy.

 

[Jac]

Nice too see the Old Heads Kesiel , Harrison who wasn't even on roster in beginning of season show the young Bucks what Steeler D is all about ,Offense needs no remarks it's speaking for itself . The focus is the young guns of the Defense stepping into their roles and shinning through so 36 yr olds like Harrison can retire with grace . We got a Bye week coming if we can go8-3 going into that break ; my Predictions is watch out AFC those young guns will be vets after that break and if the offense stays on cue like Jimmy Johnson said Pitt might shock all once again and go too that Dance no other team knows Better than STEELER NATION !!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Troglodyte]

Not to take anything away from Ben's accomplishment but the way the things are going in the NFL (110 passes in NE vs Den, last weeks performances, etc) I can help but wonder if it won't be long until it is matched or even broken.

 

[Superman]

wonder how Manny is liking this ****?

 

[deljzc]

Four of the next Five on the road.

If we can start doing this **** there, we might have something special brewing.

"if" and "might" being the two very operative words.

 

[blitzburghv5]

Well, im hopeful the kids are gettin comfortable with the vets and ***** startin to click now and clickin like a sum'*****. This team has never had weapons like it has today. He can spread the ball to one of many options. We can run and throw. Now we just need to incorporate some "play-action".

Earlier in the season i said it was gonna take 30 pts each game to win. Its holding true, but..........this offense can, and has scored beyond 30. 40 isnt out of the realm of possibility. Im eager to see where we stand now in total offense compared to the rest of the league.

 

[obxsteeler]

After the Denver game 2 years ago Colbert/Tomlin started to rebuild this team. They seemed to start with the offense because Ben was obviously their greatest strength. Despite a whole lot of criticism they seem to be doing a pretty good job and without a losing season. Now they need to develop continuity and some more depth. Looks like they are now moving on the defense. This isn't really a contender yet but one more draft and some cap room could make it one. Still very little credit from their detractors on the board but as a fan who went through the early 70's and 2000's I see some very encouraging signs.

 

[Wingman]

It's not how you start,but how you end! They still have accomplished nothing on the season. The division is neck&neck. Not much room for error.

I believe at this point they have accomplished something. They are challenging for the lead because of the last three wins. Should they win the next two they could be in the lead and might just win the division. The guys likely need to win out from here to have a chance at one of the top two seeds and a first round bye. This will be the test of Tomlin's coaching from here on. Should he be able to keep the team on track for not just a divisional championship but a deep playoff run he might just have put enough together to have taken the next step in coaching.

They have displayed some lack of coaching last night, but have had some moments where good coaching stood out.

Exactly....we are in rebuild mode and folks didnt wanna believe that. Things are fallin into place nicely and last night the youngsters finally got a true taste of what the Steelers-Ravens rivalry was like ( the first game that hadnt a clue) and now both units can build off the last two victories goin forward, knowing each week we just get that much better. But i, as a fan have the confidence that we can play with anybody in the league now.........including Seattle or New England.
