This is a STEELERS forum. Not a "I have a big ole boner for Ben Roethelisberger" forum.
I want to see the Steelers win, which means getting our best player(s) the ball as often as possible. And, sorry to say, Ben is no longer our best player.
So almighty yinzer, what do you suggest we do? We just played week 6, we are 4-2, lead our division, are currently sitting at the 3 seed if the playoffs started today. We gave LeVeon Bell 32 carries today to Ben's 25 pass attempts. We won the game...
So by all means, lets start Landry right? Or do you feel Dobbs is the better option on the team right now? You see, Ben plays QB, and unless we start running the wild cat offense, Ben is going to touch the ball on EVERY OFFENSIVE PLAY. And he's getting the ball to our playmakers. As mentioned before, Bell 32 carries 179 yards, Brown 8 catches for 155. That's what ALL QB's do, is get the ball into their playmakers hands. He didn't force things today, he took what the D gave him, Haley called a pretty good game (aside from one redzone trip). Does Ben HAVE to go 20/20 350 4 TD's to get any recognition?
He made big plays, how about 2nd and 19 and he hits Brown right at the sticks, or how about pinned at our 1, and he play actions to McDonald for 26 yards, putting it right on the money. Or how about 3rd and 7 on our 30, and he hits JuJu in the middle for 15 yards and another first down. I'm really not sure what you're complaining about. I'm wondering if you even SAW the game, or if you're just going off of the game stats on ESPN as some users here have been known to do. But hey, Josh McCown looked better against THE WORST DEFENSE IN THE LEAGUE... and get ready for this part....HE LOST!!!!!
I like this game. Matt Ryan played better, Lost to the Dolphins. Mathew Stafford played better, Lost to the Saints. Joe Flacco...just kidding, he sucked AND lost. Ryan Fitzpatrick played better, Lost to the Cardinals. Blake Bortles played better, Lost to the Rams. Cam Newton played better, Lost to the Eagles. These are just some of the QB's that the league deamed to be the best QB of their respected games, and still managed to lose. Ben did not lose today.
