    Thank You Ben

    I’m as excited for a game as I can remember.

    7 has been amazing for us.

    Who ever could have imagined that the toughest Steeler in our history just might be a QB.

    7 is a true warrior that’s given us an amazing journey for the last 18 years.

    Here’s hoping for some magic that just might enable him to go out on top.

    Let’s go!!!!

      This game was a fitting send-off for Ben

      Not pretty, but came out a winner

      Thanks indeed

        Steeler football has never been so much fun to watch, it was nerve racking, ugly at times, beautiful and most of all winning. It is going to be strange watching games without Ben. I wish he would have said something earlier in the year that this was going to be his last rodeo but he probably didn't want the distraction to the team that would come with everyone knowing or maybe as the year wore on he realized that he just isn't capable to handle a full season any longer. I hope he hangs around and we see him at games. It will be good to see his smiling face without the pressure of trying to win a football game.

          Love Ben. These 18 seasons went by like a flash. The 2004 draft feels like yesterday and I remember thinking we finally have our franchise QB and boy did he deliver.

          THANK YOU BEN!!!!

            One of the greatest ever. I shudder to think where this franchise would be without him. What a ride. And hey, it's not quite over yet.

              Trevor Lawrence needs to figure out how to have his breakout game this coming weekend.

                Steelers has been my team from birth and will be to the grave, but it will be missing something from now on (BIG BEN).
                Next season will be very strange no matter who is under center.

                  Colts have lost 5 straight in Jax! I'm surprised Lawrence has been that bad this season that team must really blow. He has like 1 TD pass in the last 7 games or something crazy.

                  Colts and Steelers games will be on at the same time on Sunday.

                      That was probably the best send off I have ever seen for a QB..

                      its also the first one I have ever watched and had some attachment to the player.

                        If there was any flicker of hope with anyone that he should come back, that should be extinguished. He was largely awful on the field.

                          I mean... Elway's send off was pretty good.

                              I didn’t watch his send off.

                              I don’t mean SB endings or last game played. I’m talking last home game.

                              Not sure why but seeing him hand off to Najee on that TD was emotional for me.

                              Passing of the guard.

                              But then to get the ball back on an INT so be could do the k eel down and then walking around the stadium


                              Never seen anything like that before.
