    OK Negative Nelly.

    Personally, I think the Steelers have a great chance of beating the Bengals Saturday Night with or without DW.

    an in experience running back is more likely to fumble at key moments in the game

    I disagree. Fumbling issues don't necessarily relate to NFL experience. A guy who had ball security imprinted on him with good college coaching can be perfectly fine in terms of ball security. My concerns about potentially being without DWill are 1) his vision and decisiveness as a runner, and 2) pass protection.

    However, even without DWill we should beat the Bengals. They're the frickin Bengals!

    and an experienced quarterback tends to throw interceptions at key moments in the game.

    Just saying...

    Tiki Barber had LOTS of experience and he coughed it up a lot. Sometimes it's not about experience, or the lack thereof.

    Yep. Believe it or not, Franco had 90 fumbles during his NFL career.

    Just saying we can't chuck the ball all over the field and expect to win they will have Pac man jones back. We need some form of a running game especially if the weather is going to be a factor

    We will have a ground game with Fitz . No worries. He just needs some reps in practice. Use him as a check down for Ben. You also commented on the number of interceptions Ben has thrown as compared to McCarron ... Now really look at the stats and tell me who you would rather have as your QB. Ben has thrown for damn near 4K yards to McCarrons 900 ... In case you are not strong in math thats 4 times the yards in Bens 12 games verses McCarrons 7 games.. At that rate it would take McCarron 28 games

    If Vick is still healthy pit him in the backfield.
    Earn that paycheck with some Wild Cat stuff.

    So Ben has got it out of his system and Mcarron is due.

    To me, pass protection is the more important of the two that we would miss. I think we just need to remember the Seattle game where he put that one DE on his butt twice. DW is a beast.

    I don't care how many interceptions Big Ben throws as long as they win.

    Some interesting games where the QB threw 5 or more interceptions and they still won:

    George Blanda once threw 6 interceptions with the Oilers against the Bills on Sept 9, 1962 and won.
    Joe Ferguson once threw 5 interceptions with the Bills against the Dolphins on Sept 7, 1980 and won.
    John Elway once threw 5 interceptions with the Broncos against the Chiefs on December 14, 1985 and won.
    Tony Romo once threw 5 interceptions with the Cowboys against the Bills on Oct 8, 2007 and won.
    Babe Parilli once threw 5 interceptions with the Patriots against the Broncos on Nov 20, 1964 and won.
    Billy Wade once threw 5 interceptions with the Bears against the Vikings on Nov 11, 1962 and won.
    Dan Fouts once threw 5 interceptions with the Chargers against the Raiders on Sept 14, 1980 and won.
    Joe Namath once threw 6 interceptions with the Jets against the Oilers on Oct 15, 1967, game ending in a tie.
    Joe Namath once threw 5 interceptions with the Jets against the Raiders on Dec 3, 1966, game ending in a tie.
    Frank Tripuka once threw 5 interceptions with the Broncos against the Bills on Nov 27, 1960, game ending in a tie.

    Also of note: Fran Filchock, Sammy Baugh and Roy Zimmerman threw 8 combined interceptions with the Redskins against the Bears on Dec 8, 1940 and lost 73-0.
