But its a 4 quarter game. Ben was shut out in the 4th and Carson made the big plays. I do see improvement in Bens game though. However, I would like to see how well he does vs a good defense before I say he has turned the corner. I like what I see though.
Ben was Huge for 3 Quarters

When a QB plays like he did for 3 quarters, putting up those numbers, BY CHOICE, and not because you are playing from behind....
the rest of the team needs to make a win happen. It sure would have been nice to have some semblance of a running game to lean on to drain some clock. -
You mean like Brady did in the SB only to lose in the last 30 seconds? What was Brady called by Steeler Nation? Let me help you... He was called a LOSER.When a QB plays like he did for 3 quarters, putting up those numbers, BY CHOICE, and not because you are playing from behind....

So is Ben. You cant have it both ways. Ben was shut out in the 4th and Palmer wasnt. Palmer outplayed him late. FactComment

Somebody apparently had an axe to grind, and missing the bigger picture. Ben was big today, as usual. But the team lost anyway. There are problems to correct, and maybe players and schemes to replace.When a QB plays like he did for 3 quarters, putting up those numbers, BY CHOICE, and not because you are playing from behind....

I never said Ben didnt play well. He did. But he isnt blameless either. I dont get how Ben could play so poorly in SB 40 BUT still get credit for the SB win.
Now he plays well but is not blameworthy in a loss. How does that work?
Ben had the ball with 6 minutes to play and he came up short. Carson didnt and why? Because he scored points late and won.
Tomlin goes for it on 4th and Ben has a 1st down.
1st and 10- Ben is sacked with his checkdown Redman open in plain view
2nd and 15- Ben a short pass to Heath
3rd and 9- Ben overthrows Wallace
No blame? If you guys say soComment

I don't think I've read ANY rational Steeler fan said Ben played well in that SB. The entire team got credit for the win, not just Ben. Losses should also be given to the entire team, as is this one. But to say the defense played better than the offense today is just ridiculous.I never said Ben didnt play well. He did. But he isnt blameless either. I dont get how Ben could play so poorly in SB 40 BUT still get credit for the SB win.

You could argue our offense had too many turnovers OR you could say their defense stepped up and made plays when they needed made. Just like you could say Palmer stepped up in the 4th quarter and made plays when he needed to OR our defense didn't. It can be looked at either way. You say Carson made plays and Ben didn't. Fine, but if OUR defense would have played better, Carson would NOT have been able to score those points. You can't have it both ways.....Comment

No they dont say he played well (how can they) however I'm sure you have heard many Steeler fans say (Ben has 2 SBs). Dont you see the hypocrisy? Ben get credit for a win while playing putrid but you dont want to give him blame when he plays well and we lose. How does that work? Palmer put up 17 points in the 4th but you want to blame our D for that instead of give Palmer credit. If Ben scored 17 in the 4th and we won would you be saying "Their D sucks" or would you be saying "Ben was clutch and won the game". I assume you would say the latter. Ben gets credit for wins but no blame for losses. I didnt say the defense played better than the offense TODAY. I said they play well more consistently than our offense.
You are judging our defense without considering that they werent at full strength. If the Mother and Father are absent from the family dont you think that family would be affected?Comment
