    If Rudolph had continued after half time, there is no way we win this game. Ben willed the team to win. You could just see the energy go out of the team the three plays Rudolph was in. Big Ben is special. Very cliche but have to say it. 8-0 yay.

    I dont think Ben played nearly as bad as some say he did/has... his rushing atempt was the longest of the night ... Only prob i see is he is having trouble hitting the deep passes , but i think that comes together eventually

    Yea I agree if Rudolph has to play in that 2nd half there is no way in hell they pull this game out. Ben is such a treat to watch especially this year so far. You really appreciate how much he was missed after last year. If they lose him at all this year it’s all over. They gotta keep Ben healthy.

    Rudolph is terrible. How long will the Steelers pretend that he is qualified back-up quarterback?

    Ben has 18 TD passes now in the first eight games. That's a darn good pace.

    I’m just soaking it up as much as I can.

    Ben isn’t going to be playing much longer. It will be dark days when that happens.

    Lets just hope Ben's knee is healed up and good to go for next week.

    It isn't always surgical and pretty with Ben, like Peyton Manning or Joe Montana, but he's physically and mentally tough and delivers when they need him. JuJu was big today, too.

    When Mason came in for Ben, there was a huge difference in pass velocity with Mason versus Ben. Ben passes had so much more zip on the ball then Mason did. Mason was throwing floaters.

    With the way this team played today they needed Ben. Need to get Dotson on the oline if we plan on running the ball. Somebody that can push a guy backwards.

    Juju is becoming better at ball security and has added muscle to his frame.

    I root for the kid, but I honestly don't see it. I know Dobbs isn't the future, either. But I personally have more faith in his ability to move the team just because of his athleticism and running ability.

    We should make Dobbs active and start a playbook for him with Boots,Waggle,Zone Read , and RPO'S ..We suck at short yardage anyway so this could be a short yardage package that would allow our OC to learn how to Coach and prepare a BU as well as getting Dobbs some real experience in case we need him...My biggest problem is this should have been done when we drafted him ...

    And more importantly, only 4 pics. He's being much smarter with the ball. Not forcing things as much. Felt like the last few years he'd go for the homerun ball and throw a bad pick that would put the defense in a bad spot. He seems to be really focused this year and when he takes care of the football, he's a very bad man.

    Has to be in consideration for the MVP race at this point.

    The first pass Rudolph threw was a lame duck that was ripe for an INT. Thank God Ben came back in 2nd half. I can't watch this team with Rudolph under center. Dude is a joke.

    As a Steelers fan, I agree. They seem to prefer stats guys who don’t necessarily win.

    Yeah, I wouldn't say he's leading at this point. I'd put him behind Mahomes, Wilson, and Rodgers at this point, but he's in the top 5.

    I would agree, a couple of times today I think he was pressing to much to get it to Chase. one or two perhaps Chase should have had, but the balls were still off the mark. That pump fake today was beautiful, we get a running game and he uses that more those longer passes will come along.

    Come back player of the year, but Mahomes, Wilson, and Rodgers are putting up huge numbers.

    I agree with others Ben definitely en route to comeback player of the year

    It's Ben's inconsistency. Missing all kinds of easy passes like that crossing route that would have been huge or that deep pass to Claypool. Even if he got that remotely close to him he would have forced the pass interference call. We have too much WR talent for the performances we're getting.

    Was really hoping this would turn out to be a laugher where Ben could rest on the sideline for the 4th quarter. And while he’s been impressive as all hell the lack of commitment to running the ball bothers me. 9 carries for Conner today. And Ben was getting beat up yet he’s throwing it 42 times. A win’s a win but big picture there’s needs to be more of an emphasis on running the ball.

    Remember when Rudolph comes in you not only get him as QB but also Fitchner as OC. If that’s not a perfect storm for disaster I don’t know what is
