I’m not sure about all that.  They kept targeting him all day with success.


From my perspective, the Steelers didn't start moving the ball with consistency until Taron Johnson left the game, at which point they picked on Cam Lewis relentlessly. 

It was attacking the middle of the field after Johnson and Bernard and Spector left that got the Steelers offense rolling, imo. Elam gave up some catches, yes, but nothing back breaking. He was not the liability that his play at the beginning of this year would've indicated that he might be.

Whilst it could be argued that a few other moments were possibly more important, for sheer enjoyment, it's one of two for me.

 

The Josh 52 yard run or the Shakir TD.

 

The run was monstrous, and fun, so I'm giving it to that


second both the Allen and Shakir runs. I was watching with a lot of non-Bills fans and those two plays had everyone talking.

Not really.  You are thinking of Cam Lewis

Nah, they went at him several times.  They had a big play to Pickens, but he slipped and fell.

The Shakir TD was top 5 play in the league this year. 
 

Add what it meant in that moment of the game, and it’s arguably top 2, and I’m just adding some sand as I can’t  think of what other play would be better. 
 

That was “we were lucky to get to see it” good. 

 

It's insane that Josh did what he did on the 52 yard touchdown, and we're all (reasonably) going "Yeah, that was great, BUT..."

Josh. 
 

Your iconic guy making an iconic play. 
 

shakir was a big one to I’ve it but without it being a go ahead score, it was mostly fun and we would’ve been up two scores without the broken tackle still. We were all on edge of our seats but we were largely set as soon as he caught it on a practical level

We are so spoiled aren’t we?

The FG block was the play of the game because it completely changed the complexion.  Squeelers came back from 21 down to only 7 down at one point.  Luckily Tupac came through to ice the game.


I mean - it sure seemed that way to us nervous  fans but the Bills really never lost control of the game.   Even when Pittsburgh scored to cut the lead to 7, the Bills scored a TD and got the ball right back 

 

I don’t think Bass ever should have attempted that FG in the conditions.  Everyone hates punting but had the Bills ran the ball instead of throwing incomplete passes they could have pinned Pittsburgh inside the 20 with 90 seconds to go.  It’s all hindsight now though

The fumble then Kincaid TD, that is gonna mess with the psych the rest of the way and have them thinking it's gonna be one of those days. The fg blocked then gave them hope

Look at Pickens stats, he caught 5 passes for 50 yards.  Diante Johnson had 4 passes for 48 yards.  If they went at Elam, they weren’t all that successful.

When you re-watch that catch and run, my personal favorite moment is Fitzpatrick looking to the sky in disbelief as Shakir gets in the end zone

Brady's playcalling for two long passes on 2nd and 3rd and 7 were horrible.  The Bills were b slapping the Squeelers up and down the field, and we gave them life with that blocked FG.  Punt there or go for it, and I'm not sure they ever score (although the mounting injuries made them scoring inevitable).

All these plays were surprises. We expected Josh to have a nice gain... and he goes for a TD. Shakir looked tackled... he goes for a TD. Elam was being destroyed on previous plays... he gets a pick.

On 3rd down it was fine. But I was 100% with Romo that on that 2nd down you run and at least get the clock all the way to the 2 min warning. Unless they have 0 yards or a loss, the field goal would have been nearer too. The game would have been iced right then and there. Instead. it took so much to finally get that W.

Elam was the most important play, Allen’s was the most impressive.  There are two QBs who take that run to the house, him and Lamar.

I didn’t love that…but to be fair we don’t know whether Josh was the one to get out of the run and audible to a passing play.
