That was the hardest game to watch that I ever remember. I was so nervous I just turned around and started painting my daughter's fingernails. I told her to tell me if something happened, lol...she was 2.

I also vowed to never watch another NFL game if we lost after they took away Polamalu's INT.

I was there. Loudest event ever been to.
The loudest roar I ever heard for a single play (on tv) was the Troy int against baltimore. You could feel the stadium shake all the Way to the pacific coast of Vancouver. 🙂

I will second you Blitz......Man I miss Troy!

There are a lot of great games and our division rivals seemed to be in several of them.

Little chest reach was a tough one but I liked the earlier more physical Hines Ward era against the Ravens, BEST rivalry in football.

Colts roar / stopping cheatriots win streak / couple Holloween games / 70's Defensive take over / so many others

Remember that Monday night blow out game against the Ravens? I dont recall the year but the Steelers couldn't do anything wrong Silverback blew up that night, Hines blew up everyone.

So many great games mentioned so I'll go with a blowout only because I especially enjoy a blowout when its against the Stains.

The Christmas Eve Massacre, Dec. 24, 2005

Steelers destroy the Clowns 41-0. What made that game extra special was James Harrison slamming a Stain fan to the turf.

The nearest Steelers bar.

Absolutely. 2007 - that part I had to look up. Remember game played in a steady rain, Ben with 5 TD passes in the 1st half, Harrison abusing the Rats' LT.

January 1980, in San Diego. Maybe December. I'll gave to look it up. It was the first Steelers game I saw live. The Chargers won, but it was my first. I was in 10th grade, and lied to my dad about having tickets and meeting friends. I went by my self, sat by my self.

Great memory.

Damn! Now that’s a fan at a young age. Imagine a kid doing that in todays sick world? That’s a great story and I love it, but also after what happened with the kidnapping at the NBA game couple weeks ago scares the hell out of me to think of youngster doing that today.

One of my favorites was in 2004, Ben's rookie year. Ravens at home. Maybe I should call it my favorite drive ever. The Steelers came out in the 2nd half, all running plays and drove it down inside the 5. Then Ben threw to Tuman for the TD. I just loved the physical offense. Really haven't seen it to that level since.

Kordell Stewart down 3 TDs (i think), brings them back for the win against the ravens. I think he had that big design run for 80+ yard TD in that game.

EDIT: Memory is a little fuzzy but STEELERS were down a bunch (mid late 90's)

So many games I'll just thrown one out. .Steelers vs Bears 2005...




That was a great and memorable game.

One can see how hard it is to just have ONE favorite game, especialy after a lifetime of watching our beloved STEELERS.!

Against the Ravens late int he season. Ben is getting heavy pressure from Suggs. Ben rolls left, and manages to sidearm the ball past the LoS to avoid a sack. Just a great heads up football play.

Another obscure one for us semi old timers. 1984. Mark Malone vs the undefeated golden boy Joe Montana. Not a chance in hell. My best buddy at the time slurped the 49er juice nonstop. It was frigging nauseating.
Frank Pollard had a big day against Ronnie Lott and the boys. John Stallworth caught a TD. Chuck Noll had a great game plan. And Brian Hinckle saved the day with a int return for a TD We all held our breaths as Ray Werschings missed an easy FG

Not as important as some of the above games,but it stopped the 49ers from a perfect season,and more importantly I’ve been able to throw that in my buddies face all these years.
