    Dominant in the first half
    JuJu had a good game
    The return of Diontae, although he might be hurt again :facepalm:
    Spillane stepped up
    Defense contained Henry, held him under 100 yards
    Defense had 6 TFL's

    The Bad
    Not getting points at the end of the first half
    AJ Brown killing them

    The Ugly
    Minkah slipping on the long TD by Brown, getting a penalty at the goal line

    Good: The first half team can beat anybody in the league.

    Bad: The second half team can lose to anybody in the league.

    Ugly: Still bitter that Baltimore got a bye this week

    Enjoying 6-0. That is a damn good team they beat today.

    Cam Sutton has to be listed as good.
    Spillane was solid. Hope he’s good to go next week.

    ben was terrible. Absolutely no way he should be getting that many balls tipped.

    The Good: Absolutely awesome 1st half. Give coaching staff A+ anticipation in game planning on what would work in the first half.

    The Bad: Second half. Maybe some of it was changes made by the opposition. Some of what happened was bad luck. Some of it was self inflicted mistakes.

    The Ugly: Yet another game we dominate and still have a chance to lose.

    Holding Henry to less than 4 yards per carry was huge. I think other than 4 runs he was basically useless.

    The Bad and the Ugly - Don’t know if this was in all areas but CBS losing the feed in the 4th quarter with about 6 minutes in a 3 point game of (2) 5-0 teams. Some one needs fired!

    Diontae Johnson postgame: "It was just a little ankle bruise or whatnot, but nothing going to keep me out of the game. I'm doing fine. I'll be ready next week."

    The Good
    Steelers are 6-0.

    The Bad
    The Steelers squandered most, of what looked like an insurmountable lead.

    The Ugly
    We saw Bad Ben show up for the first time this season. He looked a little shaky all 2nd half. He forced balls into double and triple coverage. He took unnecessary risks, when we needed him to just get a first down. There was no need to force that ball to JuJu at the end. If it's there take it, if not play for the first down. If thats not there get rid of it and play for the field goal. Sometimes Gunslinger Ben is a bad thing.

    Ben’s third interception was inexcusable. Watch the play again from Ben’s viewpoint and you’ll see that Ebron is open and close to the first down. We didn’t need a touchdown. We needed a first down which would have all but won the Game. This was the first game this season when bad Ben reared his ugly head and the interceptions returned. Let’s hope it was just a bad game.

    I’d have to disagree with Ben being terrible. He made a few bad decisions, but far from terrible IMO.

    Ben wasn't terrible by any stretch. But the Steelers do need him to be better than he was with the game on the line. He showed some frustration at times in the 2nd half. He forced some passes he shouldn't have. The throw to JuJu at the end shouldn't have been thrown.

    Ben is having a great season. But there are times when we need him to stay calm, manage the game, and protect the football.

    2 interceptions were on him. You might be able to chalk up the one that was batted to bad luck, but it could have easily been 4 had Landry not dropped one. Terrible performance by ben

    I keep thinking about Ben in the first half ... awesome. And Ben in the second half ... not so stellar play. He threw the ball almost 50 times ... is his arm getting tired. Thats alot for a young arm

    He also should have had a couple more TD’s, Conner dropped one and DJ should have had his.

    For the most part, Ben hasn’t been making as many bad decisions this season as in the past. Had a couple of bad ones for sure today.

    Road Ben showed up in the second half.

    This is exactly what the kids did last year. They made mistakes late instead of protecting the football to maximize chances of winning. Many of those games came down to "Hold the ball for x more minutes and there's no way they make a last second drive"

    Check that ball to JuJu down to an open guy...keep the clock moving and maybe get a first down to chew more clock and kick a FG with less than a minute on the clock and them having no TO's!
