That’s why you don’t bench Ben.

    The only times you will see Ben come off the field is if he is injured, game is a blow out or victory formation.

    A 2 time SB winner with as many 4th Qtr comebacks as Ben has, should not be pulled from the field for 2 unproven QB's.

    Egos got the best of the Steelers today. Classic case of Tomlin and Roethlisberger on a mission to put Jalen Ramsey in his place. It almost backfired.

    Pretty much. I was ripping Ben a new one most of the game but I never wanted him benched because I knew he could do it. I have to admit to not actually believing he would but I knew it was a possibility.

    I will say this a younger Ben or some wildcat with Dobbs could have exploited some of the room over center the Jags front four was giving. Some of the times Ben stepped up and scrambled forward he had room to run and could have sucked the lbs and safeties in closer to open up so of their zone defense.

    You don't bench a hall of fame Quarterback and mess with their head or confidence. I know they do it in the NHL but they are accustom to that. Ben was bad the first half but you got to stick with him. I think he is one of the best in comeback victories, both Dobbs and Mason have a long way to go catch Ben in comeback victories. Ben is the leader on this team and you go as far as Ben goes.

    Down at the goal line there was no excuse for the poor play calling, just crazy that you don't run the ball down there at least once with a time out in your pocket.
