    couple rookies had pretty good games. Washington and Samuels. We need Washington to come around quickly. He has the skills and he can go get the ball. Needs to work on his route running and when to run under the ball and when to leave his feet. He's going to be a good one I believe

    264 combined yards in 2 weeks filling in for Conner. To say he did his job is an understatement.

    The offensive line dominated much of the game. Samuels had room to run, which he didn't have last week. Aside from one drive, Roethlisberger had plenty of time to throw.

    Neither Samuels nor the offensive line looked nearly this good against the Raiders. This makes me feel more than ever that the Steelers simply had their heads up their own butts last week.

    As somebody else already pointed out, they mixed in some running plays we hadn't really seen much of this season. Samuels took great advantage. Now let's hope he can continue to provide a spark behind Conner the rest of the way.

    I wonder how much of this was actually the ex-Giants coach that was brought in this week.

    Great game. He could be a player if dropped about 10-15 pounds

    He had a big game and we needed it! Good job by the line and offense. Would of been nice to score more.

    Raises hand. Look at the draft threads. I loved this kid and said he was a late round gem. Thrilled for him.

    Loved seeing Washington make a few plays. The kid obviously has talent, he’s just had a rough year transitioning to the NFL. Hopefully he uses this game as some momentum to improve his game.

    That's what Bell and Conner did once they got to the NFL.

    played real good, conner for sure would have dropped those passes. Sameuls came up huge in an important game and looks like a natural pass catcher and has good power running too. an offseason with samuels and him cutting weight he could be legit.

    As i said in the offseason, we can move on from Bell due to the combination of Conner and Samuels. I stick by that.

    Make no mistake about it though, the one constant in the equation is the O-LINE.

    Pay them. Pay Munchak.

    Game ball goes to the Nike Color Rush uniforms. I think we are 4-0 now in those and they carry the magic to beat the Patriots.

    The line on both sides dominated! Pressure was there on Brady, more often than usual and the o line manhandled the patsies d. This win felt amazing! To me this season isn't a total loss if do make it all the way because we beat the Jagoffs and the Cheats! HERE WE GO STEELERS!

    Wondered the same thing. exactly. We will just have to speculate. So now they need to bring in a defensive mastermind that was a Saints killer lol

    Game ball goes to the fans at the game. I've been critical of our lack of home field advantage in the past. Crowd noise contributed to some false starts and the refs didn't feel like they could come in and screw us like they normally do.

    Samuels and Washington both showed great hands last night. Both catch with their hands and don't let the ball get on top of them. Washington's catch was special the way he high pointed the ball with great timing and Samuels caught a few fastballs from Ben not just easy dump offs.

    Samuels fits the steeler mold. Hard hitting bulky back. Great 1-2 punch I hope with James and jaylen. If we keep running and defense holds we can steal a superbowl

    Did anyone else notice that?

    Samuels stature reminds me of another famous running back that played with the Steelers :)

    The kid said it was his first 100 yard rushing game in his life, including college and high school. That’s kinda crazy!

    One thing I noticed other than his good hands were his arms constantly protecting the football
