    1. We won despite the coaches

    2. Ben was awful most of the game, but clutch when he needed to be

    3. Matt Canada has to go

    4. Devin Bush was a liability all game

    5. Pressley Harvin had better improve next season because his potential replacement is already on the team

    6. TJ Watt was screwed out of the sack record

    7. Boswell was money as usual

    8. Ray Ray had better appreciate this season, because when Ben is gone, he becomes non-existent

    9. Claypool appears to have learned his lesson in maturity

    10. Playoffs.. here we come!!!!!!!!

    Number four I could not agree more. Not likely he gets his fifth year picked up.

    Bush has been a liability his entire career.

    Pretty negative post. Ravens games have always looked like this since 1996. More so since Ben came to the Steelers.

    And TJ is the sack leader all time. Strahan has a donk sack that Favre gave him.

    11. Tv announcers said Tomlin was calling the Defense since Butler was out. So who’s responsible for the 249 rushing yards given up?

    Bush constantly picks the wrong hole and never blows the blocker up. He just stands there and refuses to hit or shed a block.

    He was relatively clean, did he start?

    You are pretty accurate I believe. Watched him specifically during plays and he will not take on anything coming right at him. If he doesn, he is out of the play by a mile. I really think he is way too small and he looked like Rudy out there, no joke. I don't know if there is something else he can do but backer isn't one of them. JMO>

    This isn't true. He actually did well his rookie season, and was showing signs of continuing last season. Then the ACL injury, and we are where we are right now.

    Don't know if he ever returns to pre-injury form, but doubt his fifth year option is picked up this offseason. He'll be playing to prove it if on the team next season.

    I'm completely done and have to drink. Can't analyze this game. But Big Ben u are my Hero. Never saw him under center so many times in the past years. And Harris as well. He ran the ball with the left hand, and this left hand catch WOW proud of all the guys

    I love u all in this moment.

    For me a legendary Sunday and legendary playoff run. Especially with this OL and circumstances. We are the Steelers.we are the proud of the AFCN and i would have love it to play against the Bengals.But who knows what comes

    Now onto the chiefs. We're advantage, because we learned their complete offensive playbook 3 weeks ago.
    I LOVE THE PLAYOFFS

    HERE WE GO

    Yep i get being in the wrong spot from time to time but at least hit somebody. He just backs up and absorbs the hit.

    I’ll add that Benny Snell’s displays of throwing defenders to the ground was good to see. Even if his best play was called back.

    I think Bush tearing his ACL derailed his career. Bush was not like this his rookie year. And you do not get worse from your rookie season when it comes to skills set unless there is a major injury.

    Bush physical is ruining his mental and play.

    That’s actually a good answer. It also may end The Who calls the Defense talk, who cares who calls it…..

    Actually the media said Teryl Austin and Tomlin would split the duties, I don't think it matters who calls the defense, the players need to get off of blocks.

    Actually, Bush made a nice play late in the game against Andrews, he grabbed Andrews enough to throw him off of his route.

    Agree with most of this. I’ll give a little more credit to Ray Ray though. Good punt return and a couple of clutch catches. Ben seems to like him for some reason.

    I was for playing him during the regular season to let him get back to form but they should sit him for the playoffs. He’s not doing any good out there.
