    2-0

    Much better this week! Penalties down, and a good performance against a very good Vikings defense. As much as they focused on LB and AB, Ben had lots of options. Thought our defense was solid. Cam heyward was awesome.

    Gotta like our chances against Chicago and heading to 3-0!!!!

      I took some grief for my critique of the performance last week - but I still believe we played substandard against a dramatically inferior team. I'm not sure how anyone can look at today however as anything but a dramatic improvement. Yes the vikings were without bradford - but that defense is still excellent. They have playmakers on offense and a smart head coach. While I'm still trying to figure out some of those deep balls (it seemed like Ben was going to throw it to AB no matter what) - the fact is we looked like an offense that is close to putting all the pieces together. When that happens, watch out.

      so critical when it's justified but today doesn't justify criticism. This was a solid win.

      hope the injury to Watt isn't long term. I thought Deebo was his backup but unless I missed it, he didn't see the field today.

        Ben is forcing way too many passes to AB and leaving too many plays on the field. Needs to snap out of that. This isn't about AB getting records

            Steelers are notoriously slow starters and have been for years. In typical Steeler fashion, they left some plays on the field and missed some defensive stops. HOWEVER, unlike a typical slow start, we are 2-0. This is not a bad thing, and as we pick it up (like we do every fricken' year) I continue to believe this team could be pretty damn legendary! Got Bryant going this week. Hopefully can get Bell going next.

              Eh, when AB went off for 180+ yards last week, nobody complained...
              Actually, my post was NOT about you...but, if the shoe fits, feel free to lace that &!+€# up and wear it.

                I think what is happening is that anytime Ben sees one-on-one coverage on Brown he is going to him, which isn't a bad idea but Rhodes did a nice job today in coverage.

                  Looked to me like Ben went through a slump there for a bit. He was the weak part today, IMO.

                    Roethlisberger's airballs today were not up-for-grabs type airballs. He did a good job of just overthrowing them.

                        Week 3 on the road vs an average or below NFC team means we're going 2-1.

                        I'm ok with that. Our annual humiliation game.

                          This guy knows Big Ben's/Tomlins Steelers. Happens every year, but this year we have Lady luck on our side. Vikings had nearly 15,000 yds in penalties. A wins a win and early season wins are important to get for home field adv in the playoffs.

                            In what way are they slow starters? There was one year where they started 0-4...besides that, they've started no worse than 2-2 during the rest of Tomlin's career...often, they went 3-1...
