I was soooo furious watchin the game…The thing that frustrates me about the Steelers is that they never get outplayed…They just always shoot themselves in the foot somehow…Ben throwing a pick deep in the end zone…Cochloly botchin that punt return at the end of the 4th quarter…Bullsh_t i tell u… bullsh_t,They better get it together

i agree he needs to heal, and Batch is not a bad QB, i would like to see Ben as confident and “fearless” as he was last year

he just had one to many things go on this year. head hitting winshield, appendix, now tossing more ITs then ever

put batch in and let some players rest. its better to have a healthy team towards the end then an injuried one. steelers werent that great last year at first but pulled it off at the end when everyone was on point and healthy

X2…I say it all the time if you want to beat the bungles…just dont make mistakes…they score over 50% of their points off of turnovers with a short field. Fact is if it is early yet…but the steelers need to wake the fuck up

Are you serious? Aside from a bunch of stupid mistakes the Steelers outplayed the Bungals. The Steelers gave them the game…

Bens interception  
Colclough’s fumbled punt  
Bens interception  
48 yard field goal kicked into the wind

The list goes on…

Aside from all that I think they played half decent.

Willie Parker had a hell of a game, 100+ yards

And the defense with 6 sacks?!

If the steelers played a better game, they would have won. The Bengals played a better game, didn’t fuck up when they had the chances, and beat the steelers.

Palmer didnt look good, but he got sacked like 6 times. Still threw 4 tds tho. Steelers just couldnt caplitalize on any of the turn overs they had.

palmer looked good, their o-line didn’t do that great though.

At least the steelers can’t lose this Sunday.

Never thought i’d root for the pats ( i hate them with a passion)!!! But Cinci needed to be put in check…Watching the pats hand the bungals their ass pointed out a lot of weaknesses…They have a soft defense, but if u screw up they’ll make u pay for it…The steelers were a victim of that opportunistic defense last week…Ben needs to get his act together for the chargers next week…and no more recardo cochloly returning punts!!!..Willie parker is amazing and the receivers are solid

honestly…those are the two teams i hate more than any others…but i did want to pats to win (you will never hear me say that agian) only because it helped us with our division. CIN is now 3-1 no longer undefeated!!!

ben needs to get his confidence back and stop doubting himself and the rest of the team. Like cleanquick said batch isnt a bad QB…so maybe we should use him and slowly work ben back into things.

that is quite possibly the stupidest thing to do. Batch is not the #1 QB and should only play if Ben is seriously hurt. Who gives a shit if he had a few bad games, it’s gonna happen. If you pull him and put Batch in, it would just fuck with his head even more.

they need to reconsider their whole offense. palmers good at passing but sucks at everything else. ben is too hurt to play so if they let him rest thats like 4 games gone. by then we will probably be out of the playoffs. we may just be screwed.

Ben is the starter…Batch is a great QB, but if u start him instead of Ben and we keep winning, why bother bringing Ben back??? No need for any unecessary QB controversies…Analysts are saying that Ben’s limited play in the pre-season made him rusty (which could be the case)…WE NEED TO BEAT SAN DIEGO…PERIOD…And we need to beat them decisively!!! And when we play the Ravens, we need to run thru them as well

Do other cities have as much QB controversy as Pittsburgh?

One bad pass and you hear people yelling put “insert name of next in line QB” in the game…

Hah When Ben and Batch was both out and Maddox was sucking, I was yelling at the TV to put Randel El’ in as QB… 😃

yeah, seein how he had a bye week to rest we should put in Batch NOW??? “until Ben gets warmed up”…thats the dumbest thing ive ever heard…hows he “warm up” from the bench???

i was all for throwing Batch in during the second half last game to let Ben heal a bit (not cuz Ben was doing that bad, because he was in pain), he’s had time to heal and needs to get some snaps.
