    What a game last night I turned it off several times when Ben threw those picks. I turned it back on and we're up by 4. Then of course the Rats score but we came through and won! If we would of lost that game Ben would of been hearing the music and Tomlin. I can't imagine what it would of been like for the team especially Ben and Tomlin if we didn't pull that off. We actually played lousy the Rats with their lowly offense went up and down the field on us. Ben threw 2 picks in terrible spots on the field. Then Boswell kicks the kickoff out of bounds. Never mind we're at home. I think this is the biggest win for the Tomlin era so far of course besides the SB. He wasn't under anywhere near the pressure then that he is now. It was getting pretty bad for Tomlin in the last couple years because we haven't made a deep playoff run since 2011 in the Tebow game. I still haven't gotten over that game. So who agrees that was the biggest win for Tomlin since he's been the Steelers coach?

    I know I am in the minority but I think he has had many big wins. yes, that was a big one but we have won the division and some playoff games. I love the win over the jets in championship game. also I remember a playoff win over the ravens. might give you the biggest regular season win

    I would think any playoff victory was bigger than a regular season win.

    It was definitely a big win. Not sure it was the biggest in the Tomlin era. Thinking back, I know they've played in elimination games. Certainly the fact that it was an elimination game and the way they came back, reaching over the goal line gives this game greater significance.

    That AFC Campionship game in 08 was pretty big?

    I think my personal favorite regular season win in Tomlin's tenure is probably when Charlie Batch won in Baltimore. Man I was pumped and it was awesome when him and Ben were hugging on the sideline.

    I guess I should of put it a little different. I think it's the most crucial win for the Tomlin era, because this is the most pressure I've seen on Tomlin. I know there's obviously been bigger wins, SB, AFC Championship games, Division Titles, but just think if we lose that game last night with the way we were playing and all that talent it would of been bad. The firing Tomlin talk would of been at an all time high. Everyone would of said maybe Ben's done. There would of been complete unrest in Steeler nation. I think Ben's face said it all when he was pointing to the sky.

    This talk is always at an all time high. And I think it says more about the people talking than the man they are talking about.
