    When you look back at Bens carreer, his most successfull games were when he passed 20 attemts or less with a high completion percentage. Ben is who he is, he's not peyton manning, he turns the ball over to much and holds onto it to long. Ben is a great QB, he loves the tall recievers downfield, this goes back to when he was at Miami. Losing Bryant is a huge loss for Ben and Brown is not who they thought he was, great reciever but very immature. Go back to when they were successfull, heavy load of Bell and Williams will help get the pressure off Antonio Brown.

    Forget bryant he's not here so just erase him from your mind, and you can pound bell and D will all you want but if this oline cant run block for them it's not going to matter, if we dont change up our formations, defenses will continue to stall this offense....

    Yea but you know why we won?

    Those 3 shrimps especially the smiling one had passion and heart to win.

    Ben was young and hungry.

    We had a power running attack with a RB who didn't rap or smoke and #36 who had more guts and determination than anyone on this team.

    Our defense was passionate and physical.

    Our head coach let our players have it when they did wrong, he didn't chest bump.


    We are a soft fantasy team, it sucks

    I guess I disagree with the thoughts on Ben. I really strongly think if Arians would be around Ben would be throwing for huge amounts. The last couple years we have been too concerned with making Ben be something he is not to "protect" him, but if you give Ben 3 seconds he will take 5 and if you give him 10 seconds he will take 15. Ben is who he is and Haley has been trying to change him. Why????? He won the way he was

    Disagree with the notion that Ben needs to throw very few passes to be effective. The facts completely refute that notion. Here are some stats just from games over 2014 - 2016. These are games where Ben threw 35 or more passes, and played well. The stats are organized as follows:

    Completions-attempts-yards-TDs-Int-passer rating

    27-38-300-3-1-112.4
    34-47-380-4-0-124.4
    24-39-364-4-0-126.4
    40-55-380-3-2-94.5 (vs Denver's great 2015 defense)
    24-37-339-0-0-94.3 (ditto AND on the road, playing hurt)
    29-40-314-3-0-120.2
    40-49-522-6-0-150.6 (522 yards, 6 TD!!!)
    25-37-340-6-0-136.3 (6 TDs again!)
    25-39-350-3-0-118.5
    27-35-360-0-0-109.2
    24-38-317-2-1-96.1

    This is just going back to 2014. Ben clearly has GREAT games when he throws a lot. In fact, he has had ALL TIME great games when throwing a lot. I think there's a lot of overreacting going on. Keep in mind that he got hurt in the first half of the Miami game, and played hurt the rest of the game. He was also coming back from injury Sunday, and usually struggles against the Ravens anyway (a double whammy). If we're going to rebound and finish strong, it will almost certainly be on Ben's arm first and foremost.

    Saw this little blurb about Haley & Ben on the road vs at home..... seems to me Ben must get home sick on the road.... (clip from another article)

    "Under offensive coordinator Todd Haley, quarterback Ben Roethlisberger entered Sunday’s game with a 12-13 record, 32 touchdown passes and 25 interceptions. At home with Haley directing the offense, Roethlisberger has 65 TDs, 20 interceptions and a 20-7 record."
