Ben Roethlisberger has become Archie Manning: a great QB on a lousy team.

Pittsburgh, PA: City of Champions.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust & sweat & blood...
You need to post more because you hit the nail on the head. We aren't a good football team right now. After we attack the Eagles and beat them using that style we go pasive against one of the worst etams in the NFL. It's like our defense, or the Coord, has a personality disorder. We're the freaking Steelers. We attack and destroy offense we don't sit back and play "tackle the catch"
"My team, may they always be right, but right or wrong...MY TEAM!"
How the hell is it even possible to overreact? This team is 2-3, 0-3 on the road, and have looked god awful doing it. They've blown double digit second half leads in 4 of the first 5 games, being lucky enought to pull out the win vs. the Eagles at home. And it's not like these road games were at NE, at Bal and at SF. They were at Den(not horrible loss but not good), Oak(horrible loss) and Tennessee(even horribler loss). And this is the so-called "easy" stretch of the schedule. It's going to get a lot tougher in the coming weeks. So, I for one after watching the 2012 Steelers play 5 games to this point, don't believe it's at all possible to overeact to what we've seen this far. This a bad football team, with discipline, physicality and identity issues in addition to talent and injury issues. That doesn't bode well for expectations of a successful season.

Heard it this morning: when you can't beat lousy teams......you've become one. Overreacting???? No

A "franchise quarterback" without a franchise?
Not so many game-winning drives last season and this one, but I think its true that Ben has covered a lot of team's inadequacies.
