Jezz, take it easy, geeks. It's a difference of opinion. Keep believing Roethlisberger doesn't throw it up for grabs whenever he goes long.

Or that he does. Whatever rocks your boat..Originally Posted by Moonie
I get that you're trying to get some attention or something, but Kemo got owned on that play and it interferred with the pass. Ben's thrown a lot of bad balls, but that one wasn't on him. I still think it's the play that lost the game for us though.
How bad was Wallace at actually tracking a ball? He had no idea where it was even at.
It was a bad throw regardless of the blocking. Chances of completing that pass to WALLACE in double coverage was slim to none.
No way Ben throws that ball another 15 to 20 yards and that's how far he would need to throw it given the coverage.
Best bet would be hoping that pass sailed out of bounds

I lost a bet about Najee gaining 1300 yards.
"Our head coach has failed to win a playoff game for seven years in a row. His game day strategy, culture of divas, in game decisions, clock management, player evaluation, hires, and affinity with sub par starters at RB, P, and OL are holding the Steelers back. That standard remains the standard"
Throwing deep up for grabs and praying for a pass interference call is a major part of Joe Flacco's game.
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.
I disagree. Wallace had the coverage beaten the guy who made the INT was way behind...
Actually, my post was NOT about you...but, if the shoe fits, feel free to lace that &!+€# up and wear it.
Wallace had probably 2 steps on the closest guy. Ben gets that pass off, it's a 90 yrd touchdown instead of a pick 6
It's to be wrong. Just say, "My bad," and move on.

Watch the video. Wallace is 3 yards beyond the ball -- an easy extra length for a pass that long. He's got at least a step on the guy behind him, if not two.
It would've been a good one. If he actually caught it in stride and didn't slow down marginally to catch it, there's no way the guy behind him would get to him before the EZ. That pass turned the game -- a possible 14 point swing.
Yes, I remember Ron Jaworski analyzing the play and noting how Mike Wallace had his man beat, and Roethlisberger's initial pump-fake made Nick Collins flinch enough to take him out of the play initially. Then Chris Kemoeatu let him back in the play...
