I'm just glad that we were able to finally finish a game that wasn't decided by 3 points or less. It's especially impressive when you consider just how TERRIBLE the Steelers played through the 1st quarter and a half of the game.

Was that really Dwyer on that last drive or the Bus??? FINALLY Steelers play Steelerball......and the defense SHUT 'EM DOWN.....how long has it been since we've had a 100 yard back??

They were horrible until the Woodley INT - after that they were excellent

Breaking news- the Bengals suck

Game ball to Dwyer

[FanSince72]

YEAH BABY!!!

Great game!

A little shaky to start with but great adjustments, great play calling, great running (Dwyer would make Jerome proud!) and lastly...GREAT DEFENSE!

Now THAT was Steeler Football!

This was the win this team needed. And they showed a lot of character - the Steelers were hardly good this game. Penalties remain a big concern, and nearly killed them. But yeah - they played with a lot of moxie when they needed to. And with the Ravens losing, the sky isn't falling just yet.

Those guys are average at best!

Getting Dwyer and co. more touches could not have been a better thing!

Let's not go crazy. Mendy is the best RB on this team. By far.

I'd say that Dwyer is a better overall RB than Redman or Batch though.

I am surprised they didn't go after Ike on AJ Green more. But I am not crying about it.

I dunno, I've been a Dwyer fan all along.

He reminds me so much of Jerome and I think if given enough play time, he could actually BE the next Jerome.

It is really hard for me to be negative about the Steelers. They actually did suck royally early on in this game. But it is how you finish games that really matters. And they finished this one well. Of course, I think the Bungles are mediocre but we lost to two other mediocre teams as well. We really should be 5-1 right now.
