Denvers running game is really helping Jake.

It's like the Steelers don't know whats comming.

Left or right? Pass or Run?

Jake has a chance with offense to win.

And Shanahan just showed why Jake has so few INT's this year, 3rd and 10 from the 12 yard line and they run the ball.

Smart move he wanted to put points on the board, and didn't want to take a chance at a big mistake.

Denver is melting down on both sides of the ball now. I have to say I'm enjoying it. ;)

Now that's the Jake Plummer I remember!!

First and 10, down by two touchdowns, and you throw a pick. Nice game Jake.


Roethlisberger is looking great.

To be fair, Ben is "living right", 2 should have been picks that Denver hasn't been able to catch.

He does look really good right now though.

Amazing what players can do when properly coached.

Plummer sucks, as per normal...

They trimmed down the playbook, the routes, where he looks, just to avoid him throwing picks and making mistakes.

But in a playoff game, where you have to be great, we see how he really is...

I would like to see him turn it around in the second half...but I just don't have any faith in Plummer.

Jake Plummer is one int from the toilet

Same ole Jake, but with a goofball beard and hair. With us we would have been 2 and 12, if that. Thank God he's not our problem!

Actually 3 ... his last TD throw should have been picked off (it went right between the LB's hands). Other than those 3 throws, he has looked good.

I must have missed the 2nd one, I only saw the one Bailey missed and the one Ferguson missed.

Sometimes it pays to be lucky.

Should have been? Egh, it was to the back of the endzone, that defender had to make a great leap and it was still over his hands...

If you mean the long one in the endzone it was close but not a bad throw at all, gave his guy a chance to make the play, and the guy broke it up.

1 angle made it look like it went over his hands, another made it look like it went between his hands (hence why I said should've been intercepted but up to POV). Either way Big Ben is living right today

Actually looking at the other angle the one over Ferguson's hands was a great throw.

Amazing Ben's getting such great coaching but Maddox and Batch aren't.

At some point people are going to have to admit Ben has a LOT to do with the Steelers record the last 2 years. It's a great team, but what he's doing is unprecedented for a young QB.

Just like today, Cowher on 3rd and in FG range lets Ben throw, TD, Shanahan in the same situation, runs the ball and kicks the FG.

Bailey missed a pick for a TD and fergueson missed the pick in the endzone.

and the INT broken up by one of the Steeler WRs in the end zone earlier on

Looking back though the ferguson one is kinda pushing it

Wow, can it be ANY clearer that Shanahan doesn't trust Jake? 3rd and 10 from the 2 and they run a screen that nearly goes for a safety.

Big Ben is a good player and he does deserve partial credit for their success (emphasizing the word Partial).

My only problem that comes up in debate is that some seem to think that the situation/team in Pittsburg is about the same as we have here and therefore Big Ben would be successful here (or at least thats how it comes off anyways). Sorry but the 2 teams aren't comparable and Big Ben would have his struggles here because the way our team has been set up, QBs are set up to fail

I'm actually more pointing out how a 2nd year QB has the complete trust of Cowher, and a 9th year QB doesn't have the trust of his coach. Shanahan has made it clear twice today he doesn't trust jake in certain situations.

I won't argue with you there

Here comes Jake, TD to Lelie after taking the shot earlier and Smith making the great catch.

14 point game now.
