He wasn't their when Steelers beat the Pats last time. Pats, they finally earned my respect, winning with people while all being hurt. Still hate them though but they do deserve respect.

Tom Brady was clutch today, can we all say OWNAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ben lost the game for the Steelers. Flat out, he played like a rookie and clearly can't handle the pressure of playoff games yet.

Yep. He had flashes of how good he will be though; give him another year or two and he'll be dominant like Brady is right now.

Honestly, I don't think he will be, especially if Bettis retires.

I love the bus, but Staley is a better RB than Bettis at this point. Bettis is good in the role they gave him at the beginning of the season (running people over for short gains).

This game came down to the interceptions, plain and simple. Both teams played well otherwise, and the Steelers could easily have won if not for the turnover. Roeth looked like Neil O'Donnell in the Steeler's last SB, but the difference being O'Donnell was a seasoned QB. So although it is Roeth's fault, I don't blame him.

I don't think so. Next season will probably be pretty rough for him. Teams began to figure him out and the end of this season (look at his stats for the last 6 games).

Fair enough, but look at today's game. Add a little experience and he throws maybe one of the 3 INTs he had; his stats weren't bad on the day apart from the INTs. I think he'll be good.

That's like saying the Steelers played a decent game apart from giving up 41 points on the night.

ummm... the Steelers DID play a decent game,the Pats just played a much better game. Also, you're missing the point entirely if that's your view of the situation. Give the kid some time to mature.

 

[bjc112]

Can't win a damn game when you throw 3 INT's.

Don't want to point fingers but Roethlisburger blew the game for them.



15-1 to waste.
