    We’re all starting over and 0-0.

    Seems fitting we could be the 1st 7 seed to win the SuperBowl. Starting as the 7 seed, 7 finishes his career by bring home #7.

    seems like poetic justice to me.

    We just need to start games like we’re in the 4th Q and behind.

    There can only be one. Why not us?

      This is a pretty neat graphic. Just scanning it over it is so obvious that to make the postseason a lot you have to have a good QB. But there are exceptions, Steelers early 2000s, Bengals,

      Sad part, look what happens after that QB is gone....

        neat graph. Would be interesting to see which team would have qualified as the 7 seed in previous years.

          I know I'm being greedy, but how about 4 more wins?

            Greedy would be hoping they move the SuperBowl to Dallas so Ben can take a knee and close out the game in Jerry World.

            All while Tom Brady and BA weep on the sidelines.

            And after all of that, how bout we bring Ben back as a backup for next year. If we’re losing in the 4th Q, we bring him in for his magic and then he hands the reigns back over to whoever is out starter.

            I mean, we all know he doesn’t have it any more, but to have 7 game winning drives is insane for a guy who’s washed up.

                I noticed when he did media after the Ravens game and walked in the room, seemed like he was having a hard time walking and getting up the 1 step to the podium.

                He’s definitely hurt right now.

                  The entire playoffs are the 4th Q/OT.

                  The initial coin flip is like the OT coin flip.

                  It’s sudden death from the moment these games start.

                  If we can roll with this mindset, no reason Ben can’t go off on top.

                  My favorite is hearing ‘Ben’s Last Game’ talked about every week. It’s all foreshadowing for the last game to come.

                  Taking a knee at his final SuperBowl. Taking a victory lap around the stadium in LA.

                  Im just anticipating the magic.

                    Given the ability of our OL, I'm surprised that he finished the season.

                      Given how many times he chucked it behind the LOS I’m not.. lol.

                        Add that to the Lucky 7s list; this is Roethlisberger's 7th most sacked season.

                        I'm seeing 7s everywhere....

                          Interestingly the SuperBowl half time performance will have Snoop Dogg.

                          Im thinking he wanted to make sure he’d be on the field for Ben’s final game.

                            Probably a good sign that we got smashed by Indy just a few weeks before we had to go beat them on our epic run to winning XL.

                            KC better get ready for their beat down.

                                Coincidence? Ray Ray averages 7 YPC. Ben seems to love throwing to him.
