		<description><![CDATA[mostlombardis:
As usual, you Roethlisberger Obsessives aren&#039;t seeing the BIG PICTURE...
The fact that an average QB like Roethlisberger has more rings than Marino only supports my claim that TEAMS, not quarterbacks, win championships.
Thanks for the help!!!
Much appreciated.
I&#039;m going to go out on a limb and predict that for the 7th time in nine years, someone not named Roethlisberger will win the Super Bowl this season...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[@bobzilla says:
&quot;Tomlin revealed at his weekly presser that Miller was “an eligible receiver” in the second half of Sunday’s game, but Roethlisberger chose not to throw to him.
End of story.&quot;
--------------------------
&quot;The reality is, the Steelers called nine plays designed for Miller in the second half, but the Cowboys&#039; coverage forced Roethlisberger away from throwing to Miller.
&quot;Maybe in some instances, he was covered,&quot; Tomlin said. &quot;Maybe in other instances, Ben chose another option. Maybe sometimes other options were dictated by coverage.&quot;
-----------------------
Dallas swicthed the DB in the second half covering miller to a smaller yet faster player, which is what they should have done considering Miller burned them for 92 yards and one TD, in a single half game. So Ben most likely avoided an INT by throwing where he did. End of story.

While you&#039;re comparing TD passes (which mean nothing unless they win a championship), please also compare Dan Marino&#039;s Superbowl rings to Ben Roethlisbergers Superbowl rings. The NFL has no rings commemorating TD passes, wonder why ?]]></description>

Baltimore won those games because they stay mentally tough and don’t make dumb mistakes in crunch time.
--------------------------------
KC fumbled the ball and the game away and Baltimore never sniffed the EZ once.
Bryon Leftwich with broken ribs almost won the game. And if BAL is so mentally tough, why could they not beat 38 year old 3rd string Charlie Batch in M&amp;T Bank stadium or two rookie QB&#039;s from WAS ? Why have they lost three straight ? Flacco gets burned in &quot;crunch time&quot; for a 98 yard pic-six - is that your definition of &quot;mentally tough&quot; ?
Because of freakish bizzare luck, which has completely run out as evidenced by three straight losses.]]></description>

@ravenator:
after back to back home losses (one of which to us), you troll on our board to discuss home implosions? keep riding that soon-to-be 5 game losing streak into the playoffs.

@ravensallday2012:

“Out of playoffs as soon as bengals blow them out this weekend”

i think i’m going to save this little nugget until next monday…i’ll be sure to let your words marinate until then…i want them to taste delicious when the Bengals put it on you next week. though it wont put you out of the playoffs, it will complete your moonwalk into the tourney.]]></description>

Twenty-five-thousand yards?
Yippeee!!!!
Yards mean nothing without touchdowns. Compare Roethlisberger&#039;s TD passing totals with those of Brady, Marino, Manning, even Bradshaw.
I dare you.
Be sure to get back to all of us with the results.]]></description>

Roethlisberger hit 25,000 yards passing in fewer attempts than any quarterback not named Kurt Warner.

That&#039;s a list that includes Unitas, Manning, Brady and Marino.

		<description><![CDATA[Turnovers and playing down to the level of competition are the main reason the Steeelers are losing right now. 

Steelers lose to an inferior Ravens team at home, but then beat them with a third stringer in Baltimore. 

We need to take care of Bengals this weekend and get into the playoffs. 
Get in, then hopefully play the Ravens first so we can take them out once again.]]></description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Turnovers and playing down to the level of competition are the main reason the Steeelers are losing right now. </p>
<p>Steelers lose to an inferior Ravens team at home, but then beat them with a third stringer in Baltimore. </p>
<p>We need to take care of Bengals this weekend and get into the playoffs.<br />
Get in, then hopefully play the Ravens first so we can take them out once again.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;I guess I don’t understand the reticence to sign a cornerback from another team if that guy can play. &quot;

Keenan Lewis and Cortez Allen both have very bright futures, and Ike Taylor still has a few years left in him. What games are you watching? The secondary was playing lights out before those guys started getting hurt.

I also don&#039;t mind an o-line consisting of Pouncey, DeCastro, and Gilbert for the foreseeable future, either. 

They&#039;re a first and second round draft pick away from making those two areas the team&#039;s biggest strengths.

But yes, let&#039;s clean house and rebuild. I&#039;m sure the most fickle and idiotic fanbase on the planet will be able to endure that for a few years.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;Tomlin revealed at his weekly presser that Miller was “an eligible receiver” in the second half of Sunday’s game, but Roethlisberger chose not to throw to him.
End of story.&quot;
------------------------
This does not in any way force  Miller to actually run any routes. And Dallas changed the cover man on Miller in the second half which Roethlisberger clearly recognized.

And how about that 8.9 seconds that Ben made the defense look like puppets on a string and then lit them up with a TD to Miller. Take the good with the bad.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Steelers have known for years now that their biggest weaknesses were O line and secondary. Their draft picks have been fair to middling at best, and they generally refuse to trade for players. This was all foreseeable. I guess I don&#039;t understand the reticence to sign a cornerback from another team if that guy can play. Same goes for a decent tackle or guard. 7 or 8 picks is not getting the job done, and the decline is now affecting every part of the team. 

Where will the cash come from? By dumping the guys who are not playing up to their level (either over the hill or never had it to begin with).

It&#039;s time to clean house.]]></description>
