Illuding Suggs was a play I don't think you will ever see again, but that's the determination that he has. I think he matured a lot last night. He took what the defense gave him, and it worked. Almost as impressive was his quick huddle on the 4th down and geting the defense to jump. I've been waiting to see those kinds of instincts from him, and he delivered.

    Don't get me wrong, I am glad you came over to the good side and all, but it took this long to become a believer in Ben? Seriously?

        He's been the leader of this team for a long time. Thinking that Charlie Batch is anywhere near the quarterback that Ben Roethlisberger is a unique stance to take. Regardless, it's nice to see that you became a believer of the 2 time Super Bowl winning quarterback last night.

            No offense taken. I am rather stuborn. I just thought that Ben has made some boneheaded decisions with the ball over the years. I thought while Batch certainly isn't the athlete Ben is, he was better with his decision making. I'm glad to be proven wrong about something everyhone else knew a long time ago.

                Ben has been set up to be the league's villian this season. He is the bad boy and he is not going to get any calls. He has a foot injury that severely restricted his mobility last night and then he gets his nose busted at the start of the game.

                ... and he goes out in enemy territory and gives it his all. I don't know how you can't admire this man's work on the football field. We are truly blessed to be able to see him play week after week.

                To have Goodell present the team's seventh Lombardi to Ben would be too cool!!
                As many on this site think ... The Rooney's suck, Colbert sucks, Tomlin sucks, the coaches suck, and the players suck.

                but Go Steelers!!!

                    Ben was a winner when he first stepped on the field in 2004 when Maddox went down. We all felt it.

                    I am not at all surprised at Ben's effort last night. That's just Ben being Ben. A true monster competitor.

                    That being said, I still tipped my hat in awe once again last night.

                        Bingo. The NFL is enjoying the beating the Ben is taking. I'm sure they view this as "payback" for tarnishing the shield. You can't tell me that doesn't go into the decision making when it comes to penalties.

                            this was one of the best pass incompletions I've ever seen Ben throw and a key play in the game...

                                Yeah Batch has made great decisions. Knowing what to wear while on IR is a real toughie sometimes.
