QB A: 14/23, 126 yards = W | QB B: 27/40, 4 TD/ 1 INT, 323 yards = L

See a lot of people (mostly on Twitter) complaining about Pickett’s stats. I would love for the offense to be elite and I have my own doubts about him at QB sometimes, but at the end of the day we’re 6-3 and doing enough to win.

    I’m old enough to remember Roethlisberger’s second season and none of the wins were pretty. They had to run the table to make the playoffs. The rest we all know. That being said, the Stillers did not get their 5th Lombardi by being “Pretty”. They just punched everyone in their mouth and took it.

      The NFL has changed. It is now heavily favored towards franchise QBs. Pass interference and roughing the passer, etc. why do the teams in conference championships have franchise QBs that can sling it. What division is not being led right now by the team with the best qb? The Steelers think like you they are still playing football like it is 2004.

      Ben was also younger and more raw (started 2 fewer years in the NCAA).

      And Ben threw an average of more than 1 TD a game.

      But it’s never fair to compare a new player to a future hall of famer IMO.

      I’m old enough to remember Roethlisberger’s second season and none of the wins were pretty.

      Having just looked it up to refresh my memory, only 2 of the Steelers regular season wins that season were 1 score games. Every other one we were up by multiple scores. This team is nothing like that team. Sure they were the #6 seed but they were also 11-5. They were a legit team regardless of their seeding.
