  It's the most common excuse.

  
  I never said thats the entire reason we lost, simply that it sucked.

  Quit whining bitch!!! You got beat by a team using their 3rd string QB. Get over it. The better team won. If Ben would've started it would've been 31-9.

  Yes, it sucks for you that the Falcons committed two penalties in crunch time. Tough break.

  The name calling is a bit much, man. And I'm not so sure that the Steelers win by THAT many with Ben.

  I honestly think they would have thrashed them with Ben. We obviously won because of our D, but I'm not sure that is going to happen the next 3 games.

  Relieved with the win today. Should get through the suspension no worse than 2-2 and hopefully at least 3-1.

  For those of you who were crying to put Batch in, remember the reason for lack of pass rush and WRs open was because Atalanta had 1 and sometimes 2 guys spy Dixon.If Batch is in at QB, that's 1 or 2 players that will rush or be in pass coverage.
  
  Idiots who were booing Dixon at the game, please don't go to anymore Steeler games and let real fans have those tickets. You have a guy who is nervous (short hopping the ball) and booing does not help him at all.

  umm....personal attack.

  I think Tomlin was going to leave Dixon in -- as long as the game was manageable.
  
  The defense kept it close so there was no need to panic.
  
  If they get down a couple touchdowns they probably have to go to Batch.

  Did Polamalu make anything happen?
• Automatik

  

  He was all over the place. Their D is night and day when he's not out there. He made the pick that could have won the game in the 4th, but Reed shanked the FG.
• Ironman92

  

  Hmmm? someone said he would make some crap happen...too bad Reed choked.....but good win
• Automatik

  

  Yeah....way to go out on a limb there.

  I like this picture
  
  Mendenhall and Stevenson Sylvester are celebrating.
  
  Harrison looks like he doesn't care much about that, he just wants to take somebody's head off.

  complete difference maker
  
  
  James Farrior said he was the best player he has ever played with
• Heretic

  

  Yeah. IF Troy and Aaron Smith stay healthy, the team won't need big offensive numbers to win games. Just an offense that doesn't make stupid mistakes. That's the one thing that (other than health issues) worries me after Ben gets back. Last year, it seemed like when he threw a pick, the odds of it being returned all the way were very high.
  
  The way the defense played today was great. If they can perform like that regularly, there aren't many offenses with the ability to put up big numbers on them.
