    25th ranked D ... 1 TD. What's wrong with this picture?

    Are we really that bad an offense? With Ben, Wallace, Hines, Mendy, et al.? Really?


    We got our "6-PACK" - time to work on a CASE!

    HERE WE GO STEELERS, HERE WE GO!

    Yeah, was thinking the same thing. Crappy Bills defense and we put up one stinkin' TD. I am sure people will blame the couple drops Manny Sanders had or Ben for holding the ball too long.

          Happy about the result. Not happy about the expected future performance. I'm hoping this was a case of Kemo playing hurt. His play (or lack thereof) was keeping the Bills in it, not to mention a bit of creative officiating.

            it's hard to score when every single time you make a big play there's a phantom holding penalty.
            or that your qb is allowed to get beat down MMA style 20 seconds after the whistle.

                No, but that offensive display was not good. That game should have been over early in the third Q. A win is a win but I think it's reasonable to not be doing cartwheels over going to overtime with a 2-8 team. They looked listless in the second half. Once agian we watched the Steelers take their foot off the neck of an opponent instead of pouring it on and making the win a foregone conclusion.

                The Steelers won't be facing the Bills come play off time. They'll be playing teams with talent. And four FG's won't get the W.

                  Too many penalties wiped out some big gains in the first half.

                    Me personally??? I believe this team has the personel to be better...however..because of this idiotic, persistant idea of having to be a running football team first...it is keeping this offense from reaching it's full potential. It is what allows a mediorce team like Buffalo to come back from a 13-0 deficet.

                    One day..probably when it's too late...Ben Roethlisberger will be given full control of his offense and it will be geared around him...and not some archaic idea of what the Steelers offense should be.

                      We dominated time of possession in the first half. We should have been up a lot more than that. I'm not going to complain since we won, but the way they played today, they will be one and done in the playoffs with a performance like that.

                        Well, when you pick your plays out of a hat, 1 TD vs the 25th ranked D is what you get.

                        BA has a good play book he just does not know how to use it.

                          When you play the team with the worst run defense in the league (the Bills), you run the ball down their throats (we ran for 206 yards today).

                          If we played the team with the worst pass defense in the league (the Texans), and we ran the ball 45 times, then I'd complain.
                          Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.

                          Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.

                          We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.

                          We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.

                            206 yards?? It took nearly 5 quarters to do so? And it netted 1 TD all game. It allowed a team to come back when instead of trying to put a team away they were insistent on running the ball.

                            Ok let's see how this works next week.

                              Quit whining.

                              We won against a team that is hitting its stride. They may be 2-9, but they have been playing very well the last few weeks and could very well be 5-4 or better if they knew how to close out games.

                              The Steelers were coming off a win that was maybe a little too easy, and every week have to play both the opposing team and the officiating crew.

                              And it goes without saying that any NFL team can beat any other NFL team any week because the talent differential is so small.

                              They are 8-3 with a chance to take sole possession of first place in the AFCN next week. What more do you want, bitches?
