> [@Little\_Nemo](#): > > He did have a very impressive game. He handled himself really well for a backup put in in mid-game. It wasn’t just handling the regular stuff but he also reacted well in some pressure situations. I was impressed with his poise. But that only went so far. I wasn’t impressed with anything else. His arm looked weak and his decision-making weaker. Then again, he hasn’t had any work in practice, so maybe with a week of reps and focus with the first team, he’ll show some more. ---

> [@Evil\_Captor](#): > > I do not think the Steelers will be bragging about this one. Winning a squeaker in OT against a 1-7 team is not exactly an achievement. Yeah, have to agree. Although my old coach use to say that a win is a win. What worries more though is, if we struggle against a team like this - how will we do against The Ravens next week? ---

So many backups… I’m happy with mine, at least. ---

It’s turned pretty ugly, too. The “fans” who cheered when your internet went down should really be ashamed. ---

I honestly would have picked Charlie Batch to go over Leftwich. I like him, but the guy’s just not a good NFL quarterback. And apparently no one on either team did much “rain prep.” ---

And apparently no one on either team did much “rain prep.” I’ve always been a fan of Batch - IMO, a good steady workhorse of a QB. Maybe no flashes of brilliance, but usually reliable.
