Absolutely. Great effort all around, can't believe this is the same guy that was going to be cut during training camp.

The Refs

That took major balls to overturn that call in Pittsburgh.

Plus, they did have the forward lateral called correctly

Lots of players had good games, but Clay was a difference maker.  His 2nd touchdown was a thing of beauty.

Did Daniel Thomas have that big run on our game winning drive? If so, game ball...one of the biggest runs in the history of the franchise.

Game Ball - The whole freakin team.

It was a great team win, being from Central PA and having to hear Yinzes all the time and unabashed love for the Stillers, this was a great win.  The dreadful, lateral passes and almost-TD at the end of the game withstanding, this team hung tough, both offensively and defensively.

The DEF could have folded several times during the game, when PIT regained momentum with TD drives and some 3rd downs given up.  But they hung tough, caused a TO on this snowy day and just did enough.  I thought the lack of pressure on Ben Rapistberger in the 2nd half was disappointing, but I thought a hold or two should have been called when they were close to him.  But, the big names get the calls.

The OFF did great in such crappy conditions.  The only pass I thought Tannehill was bone-headed was the throw to Clay where Head & Shoulders Boy picked it off for the TD.  He "eyed" Clay too long and Polamalu made a great play and read.  Thomas ran fantastic!  Hard-nose running and he got popped several times as well as Miller.  Both should be commended, though Thomas showed me something that I had not seen in a long time from him.  Clay was awesome, key grabs and of course the last catch and break away for a TD was great.  Hartline came thru as well, the TD and tippy-toe grab was another in a long line of great grabs by him.  I think Wallace had a good day, and he drew a lot of coverage which helped out in the passing game.  Last but not least, the OL did great and kept the pressure off of Tannehill and the allowed the running game to get going.

Team Win No Doubt.

Now, let's knock off those Bel-cheats and get another another win! Go Phins!!!!

You mean by not calling it? Seeing it live I thought for sure it was forward but I have not seen any replays to study it or comments about it.

Big Play Clay gets my vote this week.

I think they did call it.  I thought I saw a flag down while watching the play on nfl.com

And if they didn't, it would have been reviewed and called back.

I want to change mine because Clay is so obvious. 

Daniel Thomas for coming up big in the running game and Tannehill for battling back after he threw that pick 6.  He went right back down the field and scored a touchdown on the next drive and kept the pressure on Pittsburgh through what turned into a legit shootout after halftime.

I say game ball to the offensive line.     None of this game would happen if the o-line players were turnstiles like in past games.   Tanny throws a pick six and this line sticks together to allow the TEAM to march down and score a td.    When was the last time this team won a gunslinger battle like this considering the weather.    Awesome job all around.   When the o-line does their job, everything else works from running to passing. 

Now go beat the pats.     Go fins.

Honorable mention to Tannehill, but it's gotta go to Clay.  He's been a nice surprise and it seems like he's improved throughout the year.

Clay, hands down, although Hartline's endzone catch was amazing and almost worth the game ball just on the basis of that.

Tannehill gets an honorable mention for winning his first (apparently) snow-game.
