Nice job Ben!

Just in case last week’s come-from-behind victory over the Colts didn’t show you Roethlisberger still has it, he came out and threw for 299 yards and four touchdowns against the Titans. He was 20 of 23 passing in the second half. But there’s a reason why the Steelers don’t want him running the no-huddle all the time. He was sacked three times and hit five others. With Roethlisberger being 35, the Steelers don’t want him taking all those hits. Unless they need it.

Purely conjecture, but here's my theory. Tomlin stated in the pre-season that this year's goal was to beat the Cheatriots. What if all this ground n pound and holding Ben back was attempt to not provide NE of any tape of what our offense can really do and Ben just got fed up with holding back and unleashed it last night. If this is the case, he could have reached his limit of hearing he's done and all the retirement rumors and said **** the tape, we're playing football tonight.


This has been my line of thinking all along as well. We obviously know the cheats don't play by the rules. I'd give them as little to go on as well. The Steelers still have to win games,but the goal is the prize.
