I would like to know what Ben stats look like against losing teams.

It's not just the interception, he also missed MB running free on a bomb and threw a bad pass.

Ben was being Ben. You gotta love this Ben if you love the other.

This team actually has 2 starting QBs.

Good Ben and Bad Ben


Today was Bad Ben's turn to take snaps. I don't like when Bad Ben plays.

It's difficult to argue with that. How does he throw 12 TD's in 2 games against tough defenses and then look like yesterday against a defense essentially no better than the previous two? You can almost see it in his eyes when he's "Bad Ben". I sometimes wonder if something in his personal life throws him off on certain game days. An argument with the misses before the Jets?

Eh, Roethlisberger didn't play any worse than Drew Brees today. Brees turned the ball over three times, including two INTs, the second of which was forced into triple coverage at the goal line. That decision was just as bad as Roethlisberger's second INT today. In overtime, Brees lost a fumble when he held the ball too long, which instantly put the 49ers in range for the game-winning FG.

As for Roethlisberger, it looked to me like he got very frustrated by the second quarter and started forcing throws after that. I saw two plays where he didn't see open guys, but those are the only times I've seen that happen this season, so it's an aberration as far as I'm concerned. He played like crap, and his second INT was his worst decision of the season, but he was done no favors by the rest of the offense either. The offensive line never controlled the line of scrimmage, and the running game never got going. I saw WRs drop passes and run the wrong routes a few times too. Antonio Brown lost two fumbles. The game plan seemed a bit too conservative too.

Roethlisberger and Brees both had ****ty games; it happens to the best of them. Not sure which is worse, losing on the road to a bad team like the Steelers did, or losing at home to a mediocre team like the Saints did.

also in a win, russell wilson had 2 pretty bad throws picked off

You won't be a very successful professional QB if you don't occasionally 'force throws' in tight coverage. Roethlisberger's deep ball is not the most deadly accurate and the zone the Jets were playing forced him to anticipate and be accurate, two things he is not the best at.

Seattle rushed for 340+ yards Lynch had 4 rushing TD's... plus it was a home game.

[NJ-STEELER]

right. wilson's 2 picks in the 1st half kept the giants in the game.

i didnt hear any questioning of his ability during the game

Because they WON the game.

Percy Harvin just got shipped out of town and everyone was asking if Russell Wilson was Black enough just 2 weeks earlier...

stop acting like other QB's are scrutinized by their fans or by commentators and talking heads.

It doesn't hold water or make any sense.
