Play calling on both sides of the ball
Troy & Brown back
OL played well despite the shuffle.
Heath
Ravens fans predicting that they were going to win 37-0...
Knowing that with Ben, the Steelers would have won 37-0.
Happy to see Chuck being emotional after the victory.

Down
Wallace
Ike's and johnson's injuries.
Knowing that if the Refs don't give that spot to Rice on the fourth down play, the Steelers would only be down by one game on division.

I know this doesn't have anything to do with steelers but um, I thought we should give kansas city chiefs props for winning what was a very emotional game after the death of lb Belcher. I just am not sure how to do this, do I congratulate them or do i just say otherwise.

A small sidenote that todd haley was the head coach who signed belcher to chiefs' squad. This was just an emotional game for chiefs but batch as well, he came thorugh for us and he also finally beaten the baltimore ravens. At baltimore. This was a very convincing game for him, mentally and etc. Most of all, he hung in there when he was physically hurt (some unnecessary roughness) but as I told people before; the problem with charlie batch wasn't his lacking of athleticism and age.

Its his being rusty an just unfocused last game. This game proved that.

Ups

1. LB unit played extremely well especially in the passing game today.

2. Heath remains most consistent steeler all season.

3. K. Lewis continued his great season.

4. Dwyer, forget his numbers today, this kid runs really hard. Gotta love what he might end up being if our O-Line continues to improve. Remember he is only 23.

5. Haley calling a great game and staying balanced.

Down

1. Injuries once again

2. Interior OL not getting much push in the run game. Hate to say it really missed colon not bullying guys in there.

3. Wallace again showing he is not deserving of 10 mil plus a year. Personally would rather sign back Lewis, extend sanders, and pick up a better back up QB for the price of wallace. Lewis is not a better player but is at a position that is much harder to find as well as being much cheaper.

4. Officials making a few bad calls early on.

5. McClenden not getting enough playing time. This guy get great push when ever i see him in the game.

Ups:

1. Charlie Batch showing hustle to get out in front lead blocking. Hell, who needs David DeCastro???
2. Mike Tomlin sent a message. The team heard it. Inspired performances everywhere.
3. Heath Miller, our offensive MVP this season
4. James Harrison, for looking more like Deebo than I've seen him look in ages
5. Kelvin Beachum - well hotdog....I'm glad to be wrong on this one, he looked pretty darn good!
6. OC/DC - frickin' oustanding job of adjusting their gameplans
7. Worilds beat an offensive tackle in the NFL for the first time ever (Seriously. I rewatched this about 10 days ago...) dude is really starting to ball out.

Down

1. Sanders - dude...seriously?
2. Ike injured. Can we get a game without having an injury please?
3. Listening to the idiots gush over Boldin's illegal block and Rice's failed 4th down conversion that was gifted to him. Wish they'd shut the hell up about it
4. Punt return units - Brown was greeted by a wall of purple everytime he got the ball. Does anybody block?
5. Rivers, the ultimate choke artist's inability to beat Cinci in the clutch....as usual

a few side points -
there were bad calls on both sides of the ball. I don't have an issue with the officiating.
Gotta do the all-22, but I think Ziggy had himself a good game, as did Worilds and Foote
Troy was quiet. He made it through the game unscathed. We need him to be healthy if we make it to the playoffs. I hate to invoke the 2005 season, but injuries and squeeking through to the playoffs...it's still within the realm of possibility
Legursky does a better job of calling line protections than Pouncey. Our pass pro was outstanding. I really wonder if Pouncey shouldn't just stay at LG for awhile. He really is a mobile guy and is best on the move.
Heath Miller is a beast. That TD score of his was pure Heath. Also, Haley's fake screen pass left Heath so brutally wide open down the middle of the field, THAT is what Arians could never bring.

@Kethy: I'll ask you the same question: is Pouncey-Legursky better than Colon-Pouncey?

There are luxuries we have with doug legursky. Tonight it showed. Pass protection was excellent. We may have to look further. Colon sure gave us a great push in running gamebut we got to ask ourselves. Which are we; powerful, strong, and bullish or speedy, passing, and flashy?

Got to look at next few games if pouncey stays at lg.

1: Big Win
2: D Played solid again.
3: Batch played like we know he can
4: Heath (all year)
5: DB's stepped up in a big way today
(Bonus) The Oline looked very solid

Down:
1: Missing Wallace (and Brown) for the easy TD. We still won so its not so bad, but he was WIDE OPEN
2: Turnovers. Ravens to 14 pts of the TOs. Sanders Fumble was just inexcusable
3: WR drops, especially Wallace
4: More Injuries.

Is it just me or are the Steelers good for at least one strip sack a game vs Flacco?

Also I almost forgot, right after the game, this broad writer for espn, Ashley Fox. She's pretty but man she sound dumber and dumber everytime she wrote about the ravens. I don't really get the love? She made it seem like ravens could have scored 40 pts on us?! Seriously, just be professional and admit that ravens got outplayed by our 3rd string!
