    Big Cojones Tomlin - going for it on 4th down ...

    ... deep in our territory. No confidence in our D with all the injuries, so he gives it to Bell and pretty much tells the O line - "This is why we pay you".

    Hats off!


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

    HERE WE GO STEELERS, HERE WE GO!

    I thought Ben was trying to get them to jump off sides. Great discipline by the offense. I was shocked we snapped the ball.

      Thought the same thing. Was very surprised but was glad we went for it because I wanted them to go for it. Obviously pleased with the result of the play too.

        Ditto. We've seen it enough times. Was a ridiculous "wait, wait, wait... get their guards down"... Usually, that's done on the other side of the 50, when backing up 5 yards for a punt is no big deal...

        Bell's run was Beast Mode. Poor Dre Kilpatrick has been getting abused by him this season...

          I can recall 4 times Bell has trucked Kirkpatrick just this season...

            The efforts they took to induce Cincy to jump offsides without doing it themselves was amazing! Great discipline there.

              Thought the fact we backed out and adjusted on the play twice worked to our advantage. At that point thought we may take a TO but it worked out very well as the execution was excellent. Thought we had to go for it there. Punting there would not have been a good call imo.

                When they tried to draw them offsides i said they'll never snap it.
                Great situational football there.
