Ben was Huge for 3 Quarters

Ignore the ignorant. I mean literally visit their profiles and select "Add to Ignore List." And if he gets banned and creates another username, just repeat the process.

What would "he" get banned for? Just because you all dont like my opinion? So if you have a differing view you should get banned? Ok well Ban Ben Roethlisberger because he agrees with me. How you can throw a ball 3 feet over a guys head on a 3rd and 9 and be guiltless is beyond me.

"The last third down, they brought the hot," Roethlisberger said.

"Heath [Miller] was the hot guy. We might have gotten 2 yards. I just missed Mike. I have to make that play."

If Carson scores 17 points in the 4th and Ben scores 0 then Thats not outplayed?

I wonder if Ben scores 17 in the 4th and Palmer 0 would you say that Palmer outplayed Ben If he led in all those misleading stats? Some how I doubt it

If Ben had been responsible for either of the turnovers, I might be able to see your point...

But, as it turns out, he is not able to complete the pass/handoff and hold onto the ball for the other skill position players...

What about after Tomlin went for it and we got the 1st? Ben had a chance to win it. He failed. So just because he played well for 3 quarters he gets a pass on his failure in the 4th?

By that criteria then shouldnt our Defense too get a pass based on 40 years of leading this team?

Oh by the way Ben agrees with me and thats what I love about the guy. He is a stand up guy

Ben was great yesterday and I think he is going to put up some great stats in this offense.

The only thing that worries me is the last drive. I know we had penalties but we've ALWAYS had penalties and still overcome them due to Ben's magic. Lately the magic hasn't been there and with this D we will need a few last second drives for W's.

Ben should of had a "great" game. He was playing the raiders. The only team that may currently field worse CB's than ours. Now, Carson Palmer having the game he had was not expected. I don't think he's had a good game since joining the raiders until yesterday. Sad! I chose not to watch the game yesterday. Steeler football just stinks!!

Apparently you've never read quotes from Ben before because he ALWAYS shoulders the blame after a loss, even when it isn't justified. The guy has taken countless sacks over the years. Some because he held the ball too long, but many because he oline screwed up. He never once called them out or shoved them on the field, like Cutler did a few weeks back. He is the consumate professional. Ben will never say anyone else messed up.

If you want to give our defense a pass, then got it during week 1, when Peyton lit them up. That was their 'mulligan'. It's week 3 and they should be playing better. Yes, Troy and James are out, so there's understandably gonna be a drop off. But what they're showing is just flat out terrible. Whether it's the scheme, players, or coaching I don't know but they better get it fixed quick. No one is scared of this defense anymore. It's almost laughable.

"It's almost laughable." - Almost, Gal... Not only is there not a single team in the NFL afraid of the Steelers D; they are salivating at the thought of playing these guys. Almost has left the building...

@ Ben Roethlisberger played an outstanding game, leading the team to 31 points while continuing his hot play on third downs, where the Steelers converted 8 of 14 for the game.

But he once again had a chance to lead a fourth quarter, game-winning drive and failed.

In the past two seasons, Roethlisberger has led exactly one game-winner, and that came against lowly Indianapolis last season.

In his first seven seasons, Roethlisberger led 26 such drives, many of which came when he was, you know, just a game manager.

I know Ben takes the blame but does he lie? He is a stand up guy and I love that about him. EVERYONE in the Steeler organization KNOWS the sacks come because of Bens "style'. Only the biased fans THINK its the line. Do you ever wonder how Dixon can start ONE game vs the Ravens and pass for 26 times and have ZERO sacks. Same thing happens when Batch is in. WHEN have we ever had a qb sacked 7 or 8 times when Ben is out? It DOESNT happen. The sack problem is NOT the line. Its Ben.

How do you explan the sack problem under Wiz and Grimm? Shall I post the numbers again? Was our line terrible under Wiz and Grimm? Heck no.

2004
Ben 295 Att 30 sacks
P.Manning 497 Att 13 sacks
Plummer 521 Att 15 sacks
Favre 540 Att 12 sacks

2005
Ben 261 Atts 23 sacks
P.Manning 453 Atts 17 sacks
C.Palmer 509 Atts 19 sacks
Brady 530 Atts 26 sacks

2006
Ben 469 Atts 46 sacks
P.Manning 557 Atts 14 sacks
Brees 554 Atts 18 sacks
Rivers 467 Atts 27 sacks


The evidence is clear

I Dont hate Ben. You just hate my posts about him. Please show me where I have lied on him.

And this is precisely what I have been saying. The only thing I would add is that he had those 26 comebacks is because for the most part he played poorly prior to coming back.
