Notice hard and dirty the Steelers were playing -- desperate to win?

[LDaniel7]

It's amazing really, the win on Sunday.

Just thinking about how HARD the Steelers were playing. And dirty. They were trying to take players out of the game. Playing to the whistle and past it...

Extremely hard hitting. Notice the helmet to helmet hits by Ryan Clark? Concussion on Miller and it could have been worse. How many times did they body slam the Dolphin player, once tackled? On a cold hard turf. Again concussion bait.

Then the hit that put Misi out of the game. In the back, after the whistle.

Or, the dirty, dirty play against Starks.

They were doing EVERYTHING they could to win. Scratching, clawing, hitting -- desperate for a win. Everything in their favor: Crowd, cold, snow...

Nobody handed that win to the Phins. They earned it like big boys. Look at the teams Miami has beat and you know the potential is there.

All it would have taken so far was a fairly decent OL. Even w. all the injuries, this team would be sitting pretty. As it is, they are battle tested, together, and ready to make a run.

Keep your heads up, guys! Stay humble and stay tough. Three more wins. Then postseason.

I noticed that too. The Steelers are a dirty team and just like the Texans they deserve this season.

Awwww poor steelers. They deserve the best because they have a rapist at QB. Not sure if this season is karma or whatever, but I hate them more and more every year for some reason. I love their misery.

Great point. A calculated, desperate move to save a TD and a season. Saved a TD on that play, probably, but didn't save the season.

So they played even harder on Sunday. But Miami showed toughness. RT is completely unfazed by hard hits, snow, cold, adverse elements. Dude just is a baller.

Glad RT is Miami's QB. He's got a longer upside arc than Luck or RG3 or even Wilson, imo. He does for for his team than Wilson does for his -- more w. less to work with.

I don't hate the Steelers but I did hate some of Clark's plays and the center Wallace -- extremely dirty player who's gonna cost someone's career if he keeps playing.

Seriously L daniel, you hit it right on the head, the game reminded me of bullies in high school that used to cheat and get rough when they were losing at intramurals. It really does show the resolve of this team and how they are a good team right now. My friend who is a pittsburgh steelers fan stopped texting me after game, poor loser, so I made of recording of the long last play where brown steps out at 13 and media texted the whole play to him so he could listen to it again. I also asked him why did Tomlin not Cheat and push Brown towards field, no reply.

Yep. There could have been several more personal foul penalties called on the Steelers. And yes, that was a good win and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
