    Hey Benny serious question. How come you never or rarely post anything positive about the Steelers?
    Why do your threads always seem to remind us of our shortcomings?

    Because the Steelers have provided a lot more to complain about these past few season than to praise? Are you satisfied with the team this year and the way things are going? Fans tend to be negative when things aren't going well, and I'm a fan.

    My bad, I read 38. So it's only been 14 straight games then.

    Is this a Steeler record or a NFL record, 14 straight games without a td on the opening drive? Tomlin record? I'll wager it's Ben's record.

    This offense thru multiple OC's and players (except Ben) has under performed for most of (if not all) of Ben's career. How many games have we all watched where we are biting our nails hoping for the 4th quarter comeback. How many times have we watched inferior opponents hang around cause of the ineptness of the offense. How many seasons have we all said this will be the year the offense puts it together and crushes opponents from the get go. Never happened!

    Ben is one of the greatest QB's ever that never was. I've said this to death. He got by on raw talent playing back yard style football. That's why it was always such a wild ride. He has never been a student of the game, never put in the work. He could have been so much more but he is Lazy, has a terrible work ethic and more concerned with fame than anything else. Imagine if he put in half the work Brady did how amazing he could have been and what he might have accomplished.

    I mentioned in another post how i was in Ben's hometown recently for work. The people i talked to had a lot of insight about this guy. Probably split 50/50 on people who liked him and disliked him. Here's the kicker though. When people did like him it was strictly for what he has done on the field. Universally everyone said he was a Jerk/Douchebag with very questionable morals a terrible work ethic and a narcissist. That popularity has always been the most important thing to him and that he has been arrogant going back to high school and has always treated people as like he was above them. That is a hell of an indictment! and honestly when you take of the black and gold colored lenses its not that hard to see.

    We have all been in love with what we wanted and hoped Ben would be. Even now people are still clinging to the idea that hes gonna somehow put it together and be better than he was. Not happening.

    Of course I’d like things to be better, but dang you hardly ever post positive. Sure seems like you’re just trying to stir the pot.

    Well, I'm kind of like the opposite of you, I suppose. It's good to have balance on a forum in any event.
