    I asked this after the Ravens win, and I"m asking it again.

    Yes, it has been a tumultuous start to this season. The Steelers rarely start as well as they should. Still, I bet many of us would have looked at the sked, and said- Yeah 4-2 at this point.

    And this, my friends, is a better 4-2 than we'd have thought.

    I'm happy. This was one of the toughest games of the schedule, a huge game for a possible tiebreaker, and they rose to the occasion to shine on both sides of the ball. So many unsung heroes- like Rosey Nix who just hammered people all afternoon, and seeing Harrison come back like a wounded Godzilla.

    So, be happy. The Ravens lost a devastating game (can we give props to Jordan Howard- he has nothing around him and still cannot be stopped). The Packers game just got a whole lot easier too. 6 of the last 10 are at home.

    Happy but it's like I have no idea what to think about this team. They'll lose again to another bad team at some point.

    Yes with the win. But I could still complain a lot about this game.

    Lot's of things need to be corrected if we want to make and go far in the playoffs.

    For what it's worth I think we've had Andy Reid's number lately. Not trying to downplay the victory but I had a sneaking suspicion this might happen despite my complaints all week about coaching and such.

    Happy with the outcome but the game was a lot closer then it should have been. Offense needs to play to put up points.

    Yes and no.


    While I am happy we won, there are still too many offensive redzone issues. Yes, of the execution was off but the playcaling has not helped.


    Defensively, Artie and Sean both need to improve on their situational awareness; more so Sean than Artie. Why Artie was in la la land where D'Anthony Thomas almost won Kansas City the game is beyond me.


    Special teams? Not too sure if Antonio or JuJu was responsible but that needs corrected as well.



    In the end though, all is right with me. We won and most importantly, outside those Artie Burns/Sean Davis gaffes, our defense is showing its growth and will get better.

    Happy with the win, of course. Happy with the team in general? Not overly. It's awfully hard to win the SB without good QB play and I'm still waiting for good QB play from Ben. Starting to wonder if it's going to happen at all. That TD to Brown probably should have been picked. Ben just can't seem to hit his targets anymore.

    But the win was very enjoyable. I almost jumped through my roof when Deebo got that sack

    Agreed. He still locks on too much on third downs,there are other players on the team who have to be drawing a lot less attention and are open...

    I'd like to see us correct our scoring problem. I'd like to NOT see secondary mental lapses.

    Otherwise, I'm happy.

    Truly needed this win in the worst way. But as much as the numbers showed domination, the score board did not. And this left the door open for KC to come back. And almost did. There was no comfort zone. But, a win is a win is a win,

    No, that last TD celebration was terrible!
    What are they doing in the locker room?

    Absolutely. We beat them by 6, we got 9 points from luck and athletic ability ( safety and Browns athletic concentration catch).
    My wife looked at me at one point in the game and said “I love the Steelers too, even thought they are up and down...”

    What bothered me most is Tomlin is so stoic when something goes wrong, but then during a great player play he is pointing and all excited. He is a great players coach, but...
