I know im considered a Big Ben hater. But im really not. Just want to say he has been playing like the legend he is pretty much since Jacksonville. As the weather has gotten colder he has heated up. If im hard on him its because i know how great he can be. What a run he is on and I pray he leads us to where we all want to go. Thanks Ben..and your tribute to Shazier had me in tears...I Shalieve!!!!!
 
ONLY and 1st QB ever to pass for over 500yards THREE times !!!!!!!!! The mastery of closing out time with the last score of either 1/2. Fire coming from every surface of his being......................... HOF QB




Salute the nation

This might sound a little funny, but I think Ben is in his mental prime. He's reached a Tom Brady or Peyton Manning level in terms of preparation and being a coach on the field.

He's nearly phased out Haley, changing up plays if needed, and knows exactly where and when to either run or throw it. He also hold receivers accountable if the wrong way. He's playing absolutely fantastic. Accuracy, velocity, and timing are great.

We would not win without him.
 
I think part of that turn around has been preparation. No more Wednesday's off. When that stopped you seen a improved Ben from week to week.

The J-ville game was a gut check for him. More-so that he need to do better, and knew he was capable.

So he put the time in, to be what he knew was possible.

I think the Ben of old could lean on natural ability. This Ben knows he needs to put that little extra in.

And has

and we are seeing the result of that.

A buddy and I were talking about his deep ball and how inaccurate he had appeared to be. Last night he proved us wrong with a lot of his splash throws on the money and in stride.
 
As they've progressed into the season the offense has really taken shape. Its hard to say why they didn't get into a good rhythm earlier in the season. Ben had everyone involved last night. McDonald was having an excellent game before he went full China doll on us. We need this to continue and by the way we have one more week until we get our starting RT back from his suspension. #FreeJuju
 
Ben has been unreal lately. They completely changed to offense to fit the player's strengths and we are seeing the results. Ben was working with Brown, using Bell when they needed the safe pass, and did a great job using the tight ends last night when other spots weren't open.
 
This is nothing new for Ben. He's playing at a very high level right now. For him to even contemplate retirement at years end is just insanity. He's looking as good as he's ever been!
 
Once a game manager....ALWAYS a game manager.

Think about how much Ben, AB, and Bell have spoiled us. A down season for any of them is still very good when compared to most of the league.
 
i dont give a crap about stats

this will be the game that makes the season, i think we HAVE to win

Go gettem Ben

Just think if all those drops were caught.

Also this week will be the first time we played NE with Ben, Bell, AB, since Bell's rookie year.
I mean technically they all played in the AFCCG, but Bell played 5 snaps.
Ben missed the regular season game last season, and Bell was suspended week one of 2015.
