Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.
Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.
We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.
We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.
In 08 Ben had like 24 turnovers too and he sucked in the SB vs Green Bay. Ben is not the primary reason that we are good. The Defense is. Nor is Flacco the primary reason that the Ravens are good. My point is that Flacco is making bigger strides than Ben is and it shouldnt be that way.
And yet, some how, some way, this terrible, awful, no good, sorry excuse of a team (without Harrison, Clark, Mendenhall, Sylvester, Gilbert, Foster, etc.) had the ball in Ben's hands with 3 minutes to go in the game, and a TD drive would have won the game for us. If I told you before the game started that we would be in that situation, wouldn't you have taken it and been reasonably comfortable with a positive result?

Fans want to keep blaming the defense, OL, OC, but never Ben and he's the problem. I don't care if Bill Walsh (rest his soul) was our OC. Our offense would still have the same problems. You can't tell me our OL is worst than the ravens, redskins, jets, just to name a few. Their QB's don't get sacked repeatedly. And how long our we going to demanding that our defense carries this team? Damn!They held Peyton Manning to 22 points. Couldn't Ben put 24 points on the board or is that too much to ask from out "elite" QB?
Last I heard, Ben has played in 3 Super Bowls and won 2 of them. A QB can ride the lucky wave of a dominant defense to one championship (see Dilfer, Trent or Johnson, Brad), but 3 Super Bowl appearances in a 6 season span with 2 rings is not riding coattails. You can think Joe "The Self-Proclaimed best QB in the NFL" Flacco is better than Ben "Better Than Backups" Roethlisberger all you want, but other than Flacco's mother, you won't find too many who agree with you.

The above is a God honest post. But he will get killed in Steelerdom for posting the obvious.
And what were his stats in those 3 Super Bowls? 3 TDS and 5 INTS. In fact Ben is 10-3 in playoff games with 20 TDs and 17 INTS. Sory buddy he is NOT the primary reason that we are good. You guys really need to learn to read. I NEVER said Flacco was better than Ben. I said the opposite.
Ben put up a 33 Qb rating vs the Jets in the AFCCG to get to play Green Bay. Must be nice to be able to play that poorly and earn a berth to the SB. Thank God for Mendenhall that game.
