It's like the Steelers don't know whats comming.
Left or right? Pass or Run?
Jake has a chance with offense to win.

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

Russ Smith said: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.
Evil Ash said: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.

Russ Smith said: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.
Russ Smith said: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.
Evil Ash said: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
Duckjake said:Amazing what players can do when properly coached.

Russ Smith said: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.
Evil Ash said: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
Russ Smith said: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.
