come on Ben

Show us the Ben we know and love…..

let’s get this third down here

...die trying

Zippy

MM is my hero…. no way FWP makes that catch

by SteelerBuddha on Nov 9, 2008 6:15 PM EST reply actions  

nice catch

Moore is Bens fave target!

by Steeltown21 on Nov 9, 2008 6:15 PM EST reply actions  

i think colon could be getting called for holding in this game. so far so good…but i’m worried about that flag coming

...die trying

by agentorange on Nov 9, 2008 6:15 PM EST reply actions  

We need Russels

This is bullshit – you are going to wear out MM

by SteelerBuddha on Nov 9, 2008 6:17 PM EST reply actions  

is there a rule

that we can only run once each set of downs?

just line up and hit them

by syrsteelerfan on Nov 9, 2008 6:18 PM EST reply actions  

Need Russel

To pound a bit…. they have a thin D line….. they can be worn down, if we try

by SteelerBuddha on Nov 9, 2008 6:19 PM EST up reply actions  

first time I saw that commercial with Manning

hate any commercial with him — always so smug

by Alba on Nov 9, 2008 6:20 PM EST reply actions  

As long

as he doesn’t get to be smug for real – lets finish this thing

by SteelerBuddha on Nov 9, 2008 6:20 PM EST up reply actions  

Jeez

Peyton had about 5-6 seconds there…. makes a good dump off…. killer

by SteelerBuddha on Nov 9, 2008 6:21 PM EST reply actions  

crowd

loud now but you can always get louder

by Alba on Nov 9, 2008 6:21 PM EST reply actions  

Polamalu

saw the clock about to be 0 and took off. great play

by syrsteelerfan on Nov 9, 2008 6:22 PM EST reply actions  

Good

Bringing the heat, they knew it was coming and couldn’t get the ball out. Need that again.

by Vers on Nov 9, 2008 6:23 PM EST reply actions  

NO NO NO

Ike has got to stop doing that

by Alba on Nov 9, 2008 6:23 PM EST reply actions  

my goodness

Troy is insane.
has he gotten better?

by SteelerBuddha on Nov 9, 2008 6:24 PM EST reply actions  

Deshea

not defensive holding?

by Steeltown21 on Nov 9, 2008 6:24 PM EST reply actions  

 I thought harrison too, but he was up by the line, wasn’t him on the replay

by Vers on Nov 9, 2008 6:26 PM EST reply actions  

Is there anyone

that we can afford to lose at this point? Looked like a DB to me…..maybe Clark

by SteelerBuddha on Nov 9, 2008 6:26 PM EST reply actions  

broken arm…..gonna be some more weeks…probably like 3 more.

by Ragnar808 on Nov 9, 2008 6:30 PM EST up reply actions  

I thought I heard he was out a month

Maybe next week or the week after that? I think he has missed the last two games, right?

by Vers on Nov 9, 2008 6:30 PM EST up reply actions  

i know you guys want to run, but it isn’t working so well…

...die trying

by agentorange on Nov 9, 2008 6:30 PM EST reply actions  

Be smart

use all of your options – keep the D guessing

by SteelerBuddha on Nov 9, 2008 6:31 PM EST up reply actions  

i get that, but still, mewelde looks like he can’t find anywhere to run

...die trying

by agentorange on Nov 9, 2008 6:32 PM EST up reply actions  

we're not running between the tackles that often

plus, the speed of this D negates Moore’s shiftiness. that’s why i would really like to see what moore or hell, Carey Davis could do.

Why not run a few FB runs out of an I formation just to throw them off

by syrsteelerfan on Nov 9, 2008 6:33 PM EST up reply actions  

way to go spaeth!

...die trying

by agentorange on Nov 9, 2008 6:31 PM EST reply actions  

omg

Spaeth actually moved forward after catching the ball

by Alba on Nov 9, 2008 6:31 PM EST reply actions  

parker's shoulder?

what is exactly wrong with WP shoulder?

by Ragnar808 on Nov 9, 2008 6:32 PM EST reply actions  

ESPN says he denied those reports

I didn’t read the story, just saw the headline
Early reports were saying he was out for the season, but I think he doesn’t think so

by Vers on Nov 9, 2008 6:34 PM EST up reply actions  

would they have let davenport go if that were true?

by Ragnar808 on Nov 9, 2008 6:36 PM EST up reply actions  

Some thoughts on offense

Would like to see us use the full set of options on offense, mix our plays up – get some rhythm -

by SteelerBuddha on Nov 9, 2008 6:34 PM EST reply actions  

there’s another 9 yards. lets freakin go here. get it in the end zone

...die trying

by agentorange on Nov 9, 2008 6:38 PM EST reply actions  

huh

you mean we run better when there’s a lead blocker?

by Alba on Nov 9, 2008 6:39 PM EST up reply actions  

yea, but its more than that

a lead blocker typically means theres another run stopper coming in too, i think davis does a good job of blocking

by shleeve on Nov 9, 2008 6:41 PM EST up reply actions  

good time to take a timeout

let’s do this well (plus let Moore catch his breath)

by Alba on Nov 9, 2008 6:39 PM EST reply actions  

another great run. lets finish

...die trying

by agentorange on Nov 9, 2008 6:41 PM EST reply actions  

gotta take a FG here

our defense is the best in the league

by Jett on Nov 9, 2008 6:43 PM EST reply actions  

good thing

peyton is overthrowing or else this game could be bad

by Steeltown21 on Nov 9, 2008 6:49 PM EST reply actions  

That was what we needed

by Vers on Nov 9, 2008 6:50 PM EST reply actions  

YYYEEESSSSS!!!!

...die trying

by agentorange on Nov 9, 2008 6:50 PM EST reply actions  

THAT

was the play of the game………….so far.

by Ragnar808 on Nov 9, 2008 6:50 PM EST reply actions  

now the steelers need to hold that damn ball for 6:13!!!!!! HOLD IT !!!!!!

by Ragnar808 on Nov 9, 2008 6:51 PM EST up reply actions  

Holmes

has to move forward not sideways

by Alba on Nov 9, 2008 6:51 PM EST reply actions  

Not a time for a three an out....

Throw on first… run on second – short passes – smart passes – this game is not won yet

by SteelerBuddha on Nov 9, 2008 6:52 PM EST reply actions  

Hmmmmmm

would be fun to see Troy get the ball on offense……on some kind of kooky play.

hmmmmmm…maybe he can jump over goal line stands!!!!!!

by Ragnar808 on Nov 9, 2008 6:52 PM EST reply actions  

like in the AFC champ game before bettis fumbled

he asked cowher if he could get it on 4th and go over the top

by Steeltown21 on Nov 9, 2008 6:53 PM EST up reply actions  

YEAH!! i knew I had that in my head from somewhere.

by Ragnar808 on Nov 9, 2008 6:54 PM EST up reply actions  

yup

that woulda been cool

by Steeltown21 on Nov 9, 2008 6:54 PM EST up reply actions  

there you are

...die trying

by agentorange on Nov 9, 2008 6:54 PM EST reply actions  

Holmes

that one was on him, cut the route short for no reason

by SteelerBuddha on Nov 9, 2008 6:56 PM EST reply actions  

fuck

COME ON D! Bail us out once more

by Michael Bean on Nov 9, 2008 6:56 PM EST reply actions  

this is a defining moment for Ben

If he leads us here…. it changes the momentum of his season. If he chokes – it really puts some doubts in his head – and maybe some of the rest of the offenses is as well

This game was ours….

by SteelerBuddha on Nov 9, 2008 7:00 PM EST reply actions  

Hines

I guess he read the post this week about him where some were questioning if he still had it :)

by Michael Bean on Nov 9, 2008 7:01 PM EST reply actions  

Is it sad

That I no longer have confidence in this offense?

by SteelerBuddha on Nov 9, 2008 7:01 PM EST reply actions  

it just means

you’ve been paying attention this season

by Alba on Nov 9, 2008 7:02 PM EST up reply actions  

yes

cuz were winning this game

by Jett on Nov 9, 2008 7:02 PM EST up reply actions  

see spaeth holding onto that ball?

hes like ’there is no way I am dropping this damn thing" he looked almost scared he had it

by shleeve on Nov 9, 2008 7:02 PM EST reply actions  

haha

yea i love it, doesnt drop passes or fumble

by Jett on Nov 9, 2008 7:03 PM EST up reply actions  

no fast willie really hurts

Moore is nice….but we need two backs. Still can’t believe how both parker and mendenhall went down.

Sometimes it’s a wonder they can hold this thing together……

by Ragnar808 on Nov 9, 2008 7:03 PM EST reply actions  

OK

I am shaking it off – I believe. I think Ben turns his season around – RIGHT HERE – RIGHT NOW…..
Game winning drive… lets do it

by SteelerBuddha on Nov 9, 2008 7:04 PM EST reply actions  

Time is no the issue!

lets keep marching
I believe!!!!!!

by SteelerBuddha on Nov 9, 2008 7:05 PM EST reply actions  

Dallas Baker?

you have to catch that ball man. you’re in the big leagues now

by Alba on Nov 9, 2008 7:07 PM EST reply actions  

who still thinks that time out on first down in the red zone was a good idea. awful time management.

...die trying

by agentorange on Nov 9, 2008 7:10 PM EST reply actions  

and to add insult to injury

ben’s got another INT on his stat sheet.

by syrsteelerfan on Nov 9, 2008 7:13 PM EST reply actions  

Offense

Literally just killed us there… huge mistakes – big time mental lapses by everyone…..

by SteelerBuddha on Nov 9, 2008 7:14 PM EST reply actions  

DAMMIT!!!!

2 crazy tips for completions+
no woodly+
no parker+
no miller+
ben with hurt arm/weak throws=

LOSE!!!!

Thankfully there are many games to go…….

by Ragnar808 on Nov 9, 2008 7:14 PM EST reply actions  

still

6-3, with the 3 losses so close. As long as we can stay healthy I like our team’s chances as much as any other’s.

by Alba on Nov 9, 2008 7:15 PM EST reply actions  

now tied with ravens. that game in December will be huge.

by Ragnar808 on Nov 9, 2008 7:16 PM EST up reply actions  

hate the Ravens

intentionally hurt our players. Would love to see karma return to them.

by Alba on Nov 9, 2008 7:17 PM EST up reply actions  

night all

in-laws downstairs wondering what the heck I’m doing

by Alba on Nov 9, 2008 7:16 PM EST reply actions  

moore got smashed on the goaline….. Moore is not an everyday—-20 plus carry back.

SD just won. they’re up next…..hopefully parker, woodly and miller heal up!!!!!

by Ragnar808 on Nov 9, 2008 7:22 PM EST up reply actions  

That is just the frustrating thing

I think that they are a way better team than they have been showing. The losses have been so frustrating because we all know that they could be winning those games. I still don’t think we have been outplayed, we have just been making mistakes where we don’t need to.

by Vers on Nov 9, 2008 7:17 PM EST reply actions  

Run

On your own side of the field and we should ran and the ball and if we didnt get, just punt the ball away and let the defense win it for u.
