And blaming one player for losses makes sense? What about holding calls when Ben hits Washington for TD's that are called back? Or a snap sailing out of
the endzone? Or Reggie Wayne catching tipped passes? How about our QB never even having a chance to set his feet before getting sacked 9 times in Philly? You
think Leftwich could have done better that day LOL...

We give the rock to Big Ben. If he isn't right, we hope Tomlin has the balls to put Lefty in. It is playoff time.
GO STEELERS!!!!!!

new regime wrote:i used to be the same way. No matter what approach Cowher took into the playoff games I felt like it was right no matter win or lose. But that wasn't the case, until he went into the playoffs and took his foot off the breaks he continued to dissappoint Steeler fans for getting oh so close. Sometimes you have to be honest with yourself. You said a long snap over a punters head but just so happen in that same game Ben had 4 picks and a fumble, you mentioned Wayne catching tipped passes but in that game Ben had 3 picks and a fumble. So let's not sugar coat why we lost those games. The key for this offense this year is stay out the way of the defense period point blank. Yeah ben finished a couple drives late in games to get points but look at the score of those games. The defense basically shut the other team out and we should be running and jumping up in down because the offense could muster one drive? From game three we knew we would struggle against pressure, so from what I see we implemented a quick passing game to keep the heat off the qb. Does this approach work absolutely. We like to bring up this oh this qb has a better o-line then us, you know who helps the other team o- line? the qb getting rid of the ball. You mentioned the Patriots o-line, okay that line gave up what 10 or so sacks, guess how many they gave up this year? more then us. You know why? Yeah you are correct the qb get's rid of the ball. There is nothing wrong with an incomplete pass. I thought that was what we were focusing on in trining camp. |

I'm in agreement there,if Ben shows any ill affects THEN call on Leftwich.I like Leftwich and think he's capable,but he ain't got what Ben has and
that we should all know.

whatever regime!! i havent seen noone here bash Ben!!your comparing Ben to every qb in the league..Ben isnt superman here!! If he takes a hit and it wont take
too much of one then hes going to be out again and you wont have no choice but to root Byron on...Byron isnt the man as we all know but in this situation with
Ben,its very likely I think that Byron will play in these playoffs due to Ben gets banged up!! If you dont feel the same way then thats fine ...I can do this
all day long it dont matter but I hope i see others in here on this topic besides your face!!

Guys,
for the playoffs I will not stay up way past midnight, make my family miserable and have my wife put me in the dog house, just to watch "Lefty Scrub" start as QB!! I did not sign up for that! I tune in every week not just to watch the Steelers - I tune in to watch "Ben and his Steelers"! STFU!

"Wait .... I stand behind "diehard" 100% !"
You want to "stand behind" a guy named "diehard?" For your sake, I hope you are talking about gay #!*% and NOT supporting the idea of Leftwich starting over Ben. You missed, you camel jockey sand farmer! |

DH,theres no reason to think you have been singled out or picked on.I have taken heat for more than a few threads myself sir.Why do you seem so angry? You said
what you feel right or WRONG,nothing wrong with that.Just be ready for some comebacks if your going to post on such a sensitive topic.And it is a SENSITIVE
TOPIC !
Saying you are going to not post or stay away is crazy,your 2 cents worth is part of the overall picture.I will say this crazy thread got a bunch of responses,ain't that the idea? Hell i probably responded the most LOL... |

We have to do what is best for the team period... cause as Bill said there are no second chances in the playoffs people. We lose, we go home, plain and simple!
We are all fans here and we want to see our team go far and we can't do that unless they are all operating at 100%. Byron has steeped up to the plate a few
times this year when Ben was injured and he has done a good job. The Steelers are fortunate to have 2 good QBs and I think we should start the one who is able
to perform at 100% and further our team in the playoffs. Go Steelers!
