Rothlisberger key to the Problem

Big Ben is my man but he is killing drives by holding on to the ball too long, it kills momentum takes your running back out of the game kills drives,and puts this crap D on the field

 

You are so right. He NEVER used to do that when we were winning. I just emailed Tomlin and Haley to let them know this. They should have this fixed by next week. Thanks for finding this gem to possibly save the season.

 

Maybe none of the receivers are open.

 

You are right. I'm so tired of people pooping on Ben, he's the only talent left on this team. Not perfect but certainly not the problem. If he was smart he'd ask to be traded to try to salvage a few winning seasons at the end of his career. This ship is sunk.

 

Your second post and it's about our HOF qb and how he's the problem
FRICKIN AMAZING

 

Ben is not the problem. Could he play better? Yes, frustration has led to some bad throws. If he keeps taking hits, years will be stolen from his career.

 

at the end of the year they should take a decision , extend him (and use a lot of cap on him) or trade him , not suggesting anything just state the situation

 

Again, if Ben was smart he'd force their hand and request a trade. He's got a few good years left and could really be great on a team like Tennessee or Arizona where they have a decent o-line and defense. On this team he'll end up being crippled and possibly missing the HOF. I hope he doesn't though. He's easily my favorite player.

 

Not the problem but a part of it... Some sacks could have been avoided, at least 3 plays he had 2 pump fakes the were at least 2-3 secs apart. The first pick he threw in his own end zone was just a bad decision, this has been going on all season

i like Ben but I will not automatically turn my head away from him when I'm looking to blame

 

Watching other games you don't see the QB getting sacked so much.
Oline issues and his street style that gets him in trouble.
Street play does work sometimes, but these defensive players are too good for that.

 

Im with u on Ben,he is great 4 tds and all but doesnt it seem like hes good when were down by 14, why not get rid of the ball quicker like a brady etc, are their lines so much better ?or is it they get rid of the ball quicker,its are wrs? are Bradys better, it seems Ben always wants to make the big play down the field instead of playing with what we got. Bell is a good rb but how can u use him when we are 14 points behind, are defense isn't great anymore so u remedy it by having some consistent drives.Not 3 and out, 3 and out then a long ball to someone. By the way are defense sucks other than Cam Hayward maybe Timmons the rest are some garbage

 

Yea, Ben and our our Defense blows in this game

 

Bens the QB it goes thru him,he dictates things like Brady did today,every time Brady was throwing on 3RD Down I was like its gonna be a first down, yeah our d sucks, but on the other side with us its like whats gonna happen a sack fumble,interception or the occasional 30 yard pass to brown or sanders,

 

There was hidden sarcasm in my post... Lol

 

Yeah, blame Ben for the D giving up a record run to Pryor and Sushi for missing 2 FGs last week and then the D giving up 611 yards this week including 3 receivers with 100+ yards each.

 

Why couldn't Ben do the same thing as Brady, its not like there defense is so great ,there two best players are out, but Ben has 4tds and that enough,todays NFL Isnt about defense anymore its about QBS ,Brady doent have anything more its just he gets rid of the ball quick make his line look great,quick passes set up the run,set up the occasional bomb,but don't get me wrong I love BEN but its his gunslinger style that is killing us this year cuz he doesn't have the d to help anymore

 

we all know ben can't win a shootout. he's more of a game manager

 

Ben not being able to win a shootout and heaping the blame on him are 2 different things.
