Tired of defending you Ben!

Ben you were pathetic at best today.

However it's a sure shot you'll redeem yourself after we beat the Browns and watch the Jets lose to Buffalo. You're my pick for Super Bowl MVP which is not fiction but is indeed actual FACT!

 

He didn't help us today that's for damn sure.

 

He has more good days than bad days. I'm happy to have him on my team.

 

He was off though. He took a couple sacks today that hurt.

 

Ben is defenitley human, they took the deep ball away and he is not a consistent enough qb to throw it 10+ times in one drive, he will eventually make a gunslinger mistake.

 

Exactly!

 

Ben is a future HOF quarterback. There aren't too many QB's that can carry a team on their back. He had a bad day for sure, but he has far more good than bad. It sucks that today was a bad day. Biggest problem is Harbaugh has out coached Tomlin again!

 

We go as Ben goes and he had an off day today. When he's on we can beat anyone. When he's off we lose to the rats today and the bengals at home.

 

Love this post. I agree & I hope we're right!! Ben deserves another Super Bowl ring.

 

Preach it!

 

But they managed to get swept by a team that has five wins

 

Yes, but to be fair, Ben didn't play in the first game. Today was on him though, no question.

 

Disagree, today was all Scobee's fault

 

And they scored more points vs the Ravens with Vick under center than they did with Ben. If that doesn't say something about Ben, what does?

 

It says he played awful

 

Ill take Ben anytime
who else we gonna get?

 

Ben had an awful day, but it happens to the best of them. Look no further than a few other performances this week...

C/ATT YDS AVG TD INT SACKS QBR RTG
Ben Roethlisberger 24/34 215 6.3 0 2 3-22 36.6 62.7

C/ATT YDS AVG TD INT SACKS QBR RTG
Tom Brady 22/31 231 7.5 1 1 2-10 77.4 89.2

C/ATT YDS AVG TD INT SACKS RTG
Aaron Rodgers 15/28 151 5.4 1 1 8-70 66.2

C/ATT YDS AVG TD INT SACKS QBR RTG
Cam Newton 17/30 142 4.7 0 0 2-29 39.2 69.0

Rodgers has looked off all season since about week 3.

To me, the sting of the loss today isn't about blaming Ben, but not having another way to step up against a truly awful Ravens team. No excuse for getting swept by those D-leaguers this year.

 

It's a weird year. Count jets or skins winning it all, maybe eve. Chiefs.

 

Good point.....of course, the primary difference between Ben and those other guys is those OTHER guys are in the playoffs....

 

Bingo. Those other guys all are going to be playing after next week (in games that actually matter).

 

Miss Cleo would read that list as sign from the stars that Ben will as well.

 

I'm happy Ben is a Steeler, and it happens to the best of them.

But seriously... the second statement? Unicorns, my friend... unicorns.

 

Sigh... I love Ben. It's time he stops living in the past and starts being a game manager. Throw the ball away, take sacks if you have to, and stop pressing to brown. F his stats.

 

Ben has been coming into important games with too little focus, and coming into unimportant games with too much focus. Wasting focus ...

 

In the past few seasons going back to the Tebow game the Steelers have lost to -

Tim Tebow
Terrelle Pryor
Jake Locker
Matt Cassell
Michael Vick
Brian Hoyer
Mike Glennon
Ryan Mallet

In those 8 games combined Ben Roethlisberger threw 9 TD's and 9 INT's
