He has 9 right now

[SoCalBlackandGold]

where was the unsportsman like there

[blackngold29]

QB Ben Roethlisberger
• Needs 26 yards passing to reach 15,000 passing yards in his career, becoming just the second QB (Terry Bradshaw) in team history to accomplish the feat. Roethlisberger currently has 14,974 passing yards.
• Needs two pass completions to move into second place on the team’s all-time list ahead of Kordell Stewart (1,190). Roethlisberger currently has 1,189 career pass completions.

Both have been aquired!

[SoCalBlackandGold]

and another

[blackngold29]

Bill Cowher just said: "WHHHOOOO" Whoooooo?

[Bombhunter]

heave it Ben

[blackngold29]

Goodness!

[SoCalBlackandGold]

wow alot of milestones for one game..

[Bombhunter]

lovely

[UKSTEELER]

Thats the quickest I've seen our Lineman move in years!!

Time to chew Mike!!

[Bombhunter]

Thats the quickest I've seen our Lineman move in years!!

Time to chew Mike!!

He better chew it good too...that was some lousy Offense there for the majority of the half

[LarryNJ]

Forget the score...hope Troy is ok

[BlitzburghRockCity]

This game is sloppy, sloppy, sloppy...by the players and the refs. I've never seen so many BS personal fouls and pass interference in 1 half in my life.

Offensive line is looking alittle more solid as the game goes on but man oh man Troy better be ok!

[blackngold29]

Halftime stats: QBs: Ben 15/21, 180yds, 1 TD, 2 INT (obviously 1 didn't matter)
Collins: 13/21, 174yds, 1 TD, 1 INT

[Dee Mca]

Isn't it BA's game plan to only throw the ball 25 times a game?
If so going to be a lot of running plays come the second half.
ben at 21 atts already

[blackngold29]

Halftime stats: RBs: Willie: 8 car, 9 yds; Mendy: 2 car, 3 yds

Johnson: 7 car, 31 yds; White: 4 car, 13 yds

[JensK]

Hey Larry. Its around 4am here ^^

I cant believe the judge... The holding call against Starks (who plays flat out terrible) was bs, especially seeing that Harrison got hold quite a few times... That Pass int. by troy was also rubbish. Other than that, it is what we should expect. Hard thought game with not so many points. I dont think Troy will be back, sadly, but Woodley should come back. We need to get to Collins more, and we need to produce more first downs.

[SoCalBlackandGold]

sure is no time for tea in that locker room

[Tr305]

sloppy is a undersatement... ive been on edge all game. We score i started to simmer down then they score. We have to step it up in this next half...

Remember steelers football is 4 quaters

[blackngold29]

Halftime stats: WRs: Holmes 5 cat, 83 yds, 1 TD; Ward 3 cat, 46 yds; HEATH 5 cat, 44 yds

Britt 2 cat, 72 yds; Scaife 4 cat, 47 yds; Gage 3 cat, 27 yds, 1 TD

[Dee Mca]

Obama just gave 20 billion to the nhl for 40% of all teams

[LarryNJ]

I forgot the Pens were in DC...they are looking sharp!

[weare43fans]

We are winning the game in four areas: Penalties, turnovers, punts, and time of pos.

[blackngold29]

I've gotta find that roller coaster sound effect they play before kickoff.

[Dee Mca]

Troy is out
Woodley got some midol off ben

[blackngold29]

Harrison has been quiet.

[blackngold29]

My dad just predicted a Logan TD at some point.

[SoCalBlackandGold]

i guess the d is gonna make the o do something

[Bombhunter]

the helmet was falling off jackass

[blackngold29]

Hoke got kicked in the head and they want a penalty!

PIT BALLL!

[weare43fans]

Turnover!!!!!!!!

[Dee Mca]

Thats a fumble!!!!!!

[SoCalBlackandGold]

wow that dont look good

[LarryNJ]

For sure it's a fumble....come on O....get the lead back

[Bombhunter]

wow that dont look good

unfortunately, one good turn deserves another....

[SoCalBlackandGold]

harrison is like a pit pull when he gets his hands on ya

[blackngold29]

wow that dont look good

Looked great to me.

[UKSTEELER]

great tackle by Harrison, definate fumble.

[Bombhunter]

no flag?

[blackngold29]

Willie over 5 grand.

[blackngold29]

Where the heck is Frank the Tank!?

[Koopa]

willie sucks cock

[weare43fans]

We need Redman!!!

[SoCalBlackandGold]

parker runs afraid

[Bombhunter]

Willie over 5 grand.
But can't get one goddamn yard when we need it

[UKSTEELER]

what a shite play!!

[Dee Mca]

we got Moore,Mendenhall and summers and they still give ball to FWP on 3rd and short

[LarryNJ]

I can't believe that shit...Parker should never be the shor yard guy

[Bombhunter]

lucky dog

[SoCalBlackandGold]

redman was the only one who could score on our 1 D in goal line drill and now he doesnt travel. redman over summers any day

[weare43fans]

Thank you Sepulveda!

[Big T]

O Line is terrible!!!!!!

[weare43fans]

3 and out and Logan makes a big play!

[blackngold29]

Harrison with the 1 arm tackle, while being blocked.

[SoCalBlackandGold]

wouldnt be suprised:cope:

3 and out and Logan makes a big play!

[Bombhunter]

D does the job again...time for the O to sputter some more

[weare43fans]

Get ready for Logan! This is his big play for tonight. Opps, he calls a fair catch! Come on man!

[Bombhunter]

Get ready for Logan! This is his big play for toight.
eh...not this time...maybe next

[SoCalBlackandGold]

if some had blocked that one guy he had the whole left side open

[Dee Mca]

WHo told Logan about fair catches? If he was still in cfl he would have had to run that

[LarryNJ]

They are going deep on 1st down!

[UKSTEELER]

Lets's get ready for some more great playcalling!!

[TEEMONT]

Does anyone remember when FCFury said Lamar Woodley was gonna suck?....lol

idiot....

[SoCalBlackandGold]

right on

[Bombhunter]

Someone take off the E-brake on this Offense

[blackngold29]

Mooore.

[UKSTEELER]

MM Mr 3rd down!!!!

[weare43fans]

Keep Moore on the Field!

[blackngold29]

Go outside Ben!

[Bombhunter]

why must he pump fake on every pass? Throw the friggen ball Ben

[blackngold29]

Why doesn't NBC have the blue line for the line of scrimmage? I'm so relient on it after video games.

[Dee Mca]

FWP up to 13 carries sooner or later he'll bust his 1 run to get to a 5 yard avg

[weare43fans]

Come on Sep.

[SoCalBlackandGold]

these coors light commercial finally got creative again

[Jambasteel]

Come on!!! Is Hines still playing?!? Get the ball to our playmakers!!!

[blackngold29]

these coors light commercial finally got creative again

Billick's is still the best. "Wedge it!"

[TEEMONT]

D Sep should get the O-lines game check

[blackngold29]

FOX and Friends! Win comment!

[LarryNJ]

Just go back to the huddle Gay

[Dee Mca]

Ok logan time....

[weare43fans]

Come on Logan!!! Keep making plays like the last two and Redman will be brought up.

[blackngold29]

Gotta tighten that up. 2 passes in a row that far are unacceptable, lucky there.

[LarryNJ]

That was sorry looking...he didn't know what to do

[Jambasteel]

Someone tell Ben there are only two minutes left

[blackngold29]

Pile on much 53?

[blackngold29]

Is Parker and Ben hurt tonight?

[SoCalBlackandGold]

i wouldnt be suprised if this game ends up the tie breaker between us for home field come week 16

[LarryNJ]

i wouldnt be suprised if this game ends up the tie breaker between us for home field come week 16

That would be nice

[weare43fans]

Ugly......but in Coach Tomlin's word's "Style Points Don't Matter". Of course we need to win and I hope our 4th quarter come backs continues.

Player of the game so far...Sepulveda!!!

[Dee Mca]

How about a Pick 6?

[blackngold29]

Polamalu and Fox are top 2 with 6 and 5 tackles respectively.

[SoCalBlackandGold]

its amazing how much missing 43 affects our cbs

[SoCalBlackandGold]

how come we cant get a hold call bs

[blackngold29]

How is he not kicking toward the open end? We got to decide that right?

[blackngold29]

Ten penalties: 2 for 10, Pit 5 for 55

[blackngold29]

Pit has 28 rushing yards.

Troy commercial, damn Madden.

[blackngold29]

OK, Logan did well. Keep it going Offense.

[Jambasteel]

So we are going to play this season coming from behind each game also. Well lets get it done

[Dee Mca]

[blackngold29]

Good play #1, build on it.

[blackngold29]

Good play #2, first down, build on it.

[blackngold29]

Good play #4, Heath "I run forward and that's it" Miller, first down, build on it.

[weare43fans]

Moore in backfield....Offense moves the ball!!!

[SoCalBlackandGold]

Holmes is my next jersey followed by Woodley

[SoCalBlackandGold]

Moore gets more

[blackngold29]

Good play #6, Mooore, build on it.

[SoCalBlackandGold]

He called black cowboys and he came stampeding

[blackngold29]

Bad play #7, O-line, build on #6.

[Dee Mca]

100 + for holmes

[blackngold29]

Good play #8, Santon I-O , first down, build on it.

[blackngold29]

Good play #9, Mooore, build on it.

[weare43fans]

[SoCalBlackandGold]

once again Holmes will hopefully be here for a long time and tomlin gets his head straight and leaves Moore in

[blackngold29]

Positive yardage play #10, Mooore, build on it.

[blackngold29]

That was, uhh, different.

[Dee Mca]

Our oline sucks

[SoCalBlackandGold]

wow////

[blackngold29]

Sign Reed!

[SoCalBlackandGold]

Time to D-up

[weare43fans]

We need a play Defense!

[LarryNJ]

I love Tomlin but wtf...how can you go into the season with Parker as your short yardage back after last year?

[blackngold29]

Close game, final minutes, Steelers D steps onto the field. Would we have it any other way?

[SoCalBlackandGold]

They started ruling the game they need to finish them now and let our scamble O get it on

[SoCalBlackandGold]

I just hope Dee Mca's prediction of pick six comes to light

[Dee Mca]

Ill settle for a quick 3 and out. Their D is dragging. We need the ball and stay in the no huddle

[TEEMONT]

I applaud NBC for using Europe to play us to commercial

[Jambasteel]

NO PREVENT!!

[Jambasteel]

Get after them!!

[SoCalBlackandGold]

need to keep rushing

[Jambasteel]

OK better

[SoCalBlackandGold]

did you see hampton run..i was even scared

[Jambasteel]

Keep sending them!!!

[Dee Mca]

Big Snack looked like he had the 4.24 speed on that play

[blackngold29]

You think you would be scared if you saw THAT running at you full speed?

[Jambasteel]

YES!!

[SoCalBlackandGold]

look familair?

[Dee Mca]

He looked like he was running down a hill not on flat land

[Big T]

Holy shit

[weare43fans]

Logan....earn that spot on this punt!!! You can be a hero!!!

[LarryNJ]

ok Stefan time...just end it

[SoCalBlackandGold]

our final drive in the sb was at 1:56 right after MVP Holmes caught that 3rd and 6 1st

[Jambasteel]

Time for a return!!! Come on baby no fair catch

[Dee Mca]

They won't punt to Logan. Watch or we'll try to block it

[blackngold29]

He looked like he was running down a hill not on flat land

Maybe the comment of the night. Big Casey, downhill.

[SoCalBlackandGold]

He looked like he was running down a hill not on flat land
He did look like gravity was helping

[SoCalBlackandGold]

He did look like gravity was helping
What gift! Scared of Logan?

[Jambasteel]

Already kicking away from him

[Dee Mca]

He knew what he was doing.. he didnt want to kick it to logan

[blackngold29]

Good play #1, Santon I-O, first down, out of bounds, build on it.

[blackngold29]

Good play #2, Heinz, build on it.

[SoCalBlackandGold]

[SoCalBlackandGold]

[Dee Mca]

i cant believe that just happened

[SoCalBlackandGold]

i am ashamed for him

[Dee Mca]

safety

[SoCalBlackandGold]

[SoCalBlackandGold]

how about a safety to win?

[Dee Mca]

Possible safety can hsppen

[SoCalBlackandGold]

Logan for the win

[Jambasteel]

Hines will get that back!! WE BELIEVE!

[weare43fans]

I hope Ward gets a chance in OT to make up for that fumble. He is the man and he will get it done if he gets a chance.

[Jambasteel]

First time I have seen Hines without a smile

[Dee Mca]

It's logan time

[blackngold29]

Good coin toss, build on it.

[DonCanabis]

Hines Ward has cost me my first W in the Spread on my predictions

[blackngold29]

First time I have seen Hines without a smile

He was smiling at the moment the ball was knocked out.

[DonCanabis]

ok guys I don't want a FG I need 6 points so go get them

[DonCanabis]

yeah when I saw the replay and he smiling I got so upset Secure the ball God damn it

[Jambasteel]

Good coin toss, build on it.

Too much. lol:lol:

[SoCalBlackandGold]

I know I BELIEVE

[SoCalBlackandGold]

[Dee Mca]

Bens at 303.. New look offense or inability of running game?

[SoCalBlackandGold]

1st and 10 do it again

[blackngold29]

Ward will be a feaking physical magnetic vacuum cleaner for the rest of this game.

[Jambasteel]

HERE WE GO:cope::cope::cope:

[SoCalBlackandGold]

i put on parker and guys not bouncing out with their speed

[SoCalBlackandGold]

:tt02::tt02::tt02::tt02::tt02::tt02

[blackngold29]

Yellow line says he got it!

[LarryNJ]

Bens at 303.. New look offense or inability of running game?

Inability of running game

[SoCalBlackandGold]

yes sir

[SoCalBlackandGold]

tides may be a changing with our O

[DonCanabis]

what a hit on the run by ward and catch

[SoCalBlackandGold]

Hit Wallace on the outside screnn no one will expect it

[Jambasteel]

Come on Ben

[blackngold29]

Passing was the key on 3rd and short. Cannot defend that short slant.

[Jambasteel]

YES throw it to money holmes

[SoCalBlackandGold]

My new favorite for the season he is going to blow up this year

[sew091472]

Nice catch by Holmes. He almost broke it for a TD.

[Dee Mca]

Wtg ben on not taking the sack

[SoCalBlackandGold]

really

[blackngold29]

Mike Wallace.

[LarryNJ]

Wallace baby!

[Dee Mca]

Rookie making the play.

[SoCalBlackandGold]

i have loved wallace all camp

[SoCalBlackandGold]

so glad he made the team

[DonCanabis]

OK so FG I wont cover the Spread Still hate you Ward

[SoCalBlackandGold]

[LarryNJ]

Mike Tomlin: It doesn't matter how we do it a win is a win!

[Jambasteel]

PAY THE MAN

[TEEMONT]

the right team won

[weare43fans]

The only stat that counts....Steelers 1-0.


We win ugly but we win.

[SoCalBlackandGold]

didnt even cover the over but that may be the most important win of the season..

[SoCalBlackandGold]

yesyesyesyesyesyes

[LarryNJ]

Well Ben got his shit together and played a very good second half...I only hope Troy is ok

[Slug]

Gratz, guys! Ward has got to be breathing a big sigh of relief right now!

[Dee Mca]

D-sep 7 punts 41 avg 4 inside the 20 wtg and welcome back

[blackngold29]

The only stat that counts....Steelers 1-0.

Damn straight. BUILD ON IT!!!

[Jambasteel]

Something to build on:yellowthumb:

[Forged in Steel]

All I can say is, "WOW!"

[DonCanabis]

well getting away tha ... THAT WAS AN AMAZING GAMES GUYS.... WOW IT WAS a 12 ROUND HEVYWEIGHT FIGHT until the end...... only thing I notice you need to improve it's the running game specialy the runblock no freaking holes the whole night. Yes Against a great defense still they couldn't gain any 1 yard runs

[Dee Mca]

They said it right what was last year was last year. no big heads

[SoCalBlackandGold]

this is going to be a great season just got to get the O rolling earlier and stop the stupid penalys

[LarryNJ]

They are listening to Tomlin: What's the statement made tonight? Absolutely nothing from Ben...Hines..Nothing we are 1-0 and have to get ready for the Bears

[Gregster]

Nice OT win tonight Steelers but my Bears are coming next week!:cope:

[SoCalBlackandGold]

I totally agree Mr Canabis, what slugfest! To be expected since these two teams may lose 6 games at most combined this year. We have been struggling with the run a few years now. It sucks. But the new passing Steelers with a nasty Defense is worth losing a few yards, however, 10 yrds or whatever they ended with is unacceptable

well getting away tha ... THAT WAS AN AMAZING GAMES GUYS.... WOW IT WAS a 12 ROUND HEVYWEIGHT FIGHT until the end...... only thing I notice you need to improve it's the running game specialy the runblock no freaking holes the whole night. Yes Against a great defense still they couldn't gain any 1 yard runs

[DonCanabis]

Hope polamalu's injury isn't so hard he was having a DEF MVP performance the first half it would be sad if you lose him.... In another news the Madden curse is still alive

[Bombhunter]

how 'bout the ROOKIE Wallace with the key catch there...Limas who?

[Dee Mca]

Fischer already crying about fair catch that wasn't really a fair catch

[Dee Mca]

Tomlin saying MCL sprain on troy during press confrence on nfl network he may be out 3 to 6 weeks

[Big T]

I know the Titans have a great D but I am really worried about that O Line. What did Willie have 25 yards?

[Dee Mca]

FWP 13 carries 19 yards 1.5 avg

[DonCanabis]

MCL sprain now cna turn to MCL tear by saturday

[SoCalBlackandGold]

im sure i missed alot and might be repeating...but have you pondered Tomlin leading the Bears on. He walk up stairs! I couldnt do that when I screwed up mine..but then he is SuperPalomalu! I think he is back for the Chargers.

[SoCalBlackandGold]

The way 43 started tonight he might have crushed some records. So sad its an injury that deal with his legs again. He looked lightning fast and I will pray for his speedy recovery

[Dean Denton]

Ben looked great. Our passing game is something special. I think Ben is closing on league MVP this year. I know there are some good QB's out there to put up a good fight, but if we cant run the ball this team is going to average 400 yards a game passing...

[TampaSteelGirl]

HORRIBLE play calling....I pray Troy will be ok.

[steelersbabex25]

my take:

defense: great. secondary struggled a little after troy left but they got the job done.
passing game: good. mike wallace and limas sweed should come through big the rest of the year and help ben out..finally tall recievers?
running game: horrible. enough sad. partially on the rbs and partially on the o line. o line didnt provide big holes but willie wasnt doing a great job of looking for them either.
special teams: love love love stefan logan..great return guy. now we wont need to have our fullbacks returning punts anymore.

overall pretty good. b+. just wish we could get our running game back..
