My answer to Wallace is for Tomlin to make him do 50 push ups every time he drops the ball, right there on the field. Bet it stops after a few hundred push ups!

Wipe the dollar signs out of his eyes with a Kleenex and he'll get on the field much quicker.

alot of solid performances....can't just hand out one 'game ball'

Game balls to :
Jonathan Dwyer
Heath Miller
Antonio Brown
Willie Colon
Ike Taylor
Doug Legursky

honorable mentions:
Ben (was fantastic after those 1st 2 turnovers...really came back strong)
Keenan Lewis (thought he played a great game...definitely stepped up)

Goat:
Mike Wallace

the "non-existent" :
James Harrison. He looks like he's going at 65%. Watched him very closely. Enough for the announcers to say he was non-existent. About the only good he did was that they "had to account for him"

Dwyer and Brown did great. Colon really got it together, too.

At this point, Batch shouldn't be suiting up unless someone better is hurt. He's a waste of a carry. Let him practice and try again next year, as we can't afford to falter now.

there's a reason there is no special teams captain lol

did you take note of how many times he was double teamed, put in a choke hold, or ridden to the ground? that'll take about 35% of an edge off.

I said this exact thing last night! Just take a knee in the end zone or fair catch the kickoffs! Unbelievable how bad our ST players are this year.

With that out of my system ... it was great to see so many outstanding performances! As a group, we got it together after what looked to be a disasterous loss! I don't agree with the complaints about Ike for this game ... I though he played well overall and didn't let the game in Tenn keep him down. He did bat down a ball at a very crucial point at the end don't forget. AND GREEN WAS A NONFACTOR. That's pretty good even if Ike had help.

I guess I would give the game ball to AB ... only b/c he was a factor on both punt returns and as a receiver! He was juking it up all over the place last night! Honorable mention goes to countless others!!

i felt bad for rainey and brown having so many good returns negated. i cant ever remember the steelers struggling so bad to simply return a freaking kick.

Seemed like we really got our sh** together after Colon drove Bufict through the turf..He had a nice mean streak tonight

Heath was once again locked in...He's maybe our most consistent player....I wish some others would bring it like he does week in and week out

I cant believe the performance Colon gave last night. Even Collinsworthless was givin him some man love.... I hope he keeps up the good blocks.

thank you - I was thinking "Poor Brown, just wait until someone acknowledges him after his great run"

As opposed to 'straight numbers', i was refering more to his speed, his ability to get around someone, and his intensity (which he himself has acknowledged that he's pulling up a bit due to fear of getting fines), not his being double-teamed.
Some coming from getting fined multiple times.....most coming from the various injuries. No question these injuries have taken a good deal out of his game. Although a factor, he's not even close to dominant anymore.
