Reactions not what they were..... there was still some vintage Ben... the TD throw off his backfoot to JuJu was a classic Big Ben pass but overall I think the Steelers are gonna be rookie Roethlisberger this year. Win on defense and ask him to make just enough big throws Biggest thing I noticed was that he couldn't fight off sacks. He used to be near impossible to bring down by a shirt or a leg and it didn't seem to be that way last night. His feet looked slow and he went down pretty easily. James Conner looked terrible too. Buddy of mine is a Steelers fan and he thinks Snell is going to take the job soon and I think he's right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched the Steelers d line pushing the Giants around and Ben looked good on the scoring drive from 9-16. I hope you are right. I think our matchup will have Bigtime playoff seeding implications and admit to still having an inferiority complex with the Steelers. Oh I don't think the Steelers are going to be an easy out for anyone. That defense is legit and if Ben scores 21 to 24 points every week they will win a lot of games. That is kind of the point.... Ben is not the Ben of old. But I don't think he needs to be for them to be competitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Simms has been on the Bills/Allen bandwagon for a while now. Simms is alright, but Florio is just an arrogant douche nozzle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the stat was Big Ben had more td passes than the Steelers had combined the last 4 games of last year. They might have had the worst qb play in the nfl and they went 9-7. 16 minutes ago, H2o said: Yeah, Simms has been on the Bills/Allen bandwagon for a while now.

If he gets better they’re the team to beat. yeah, that's a well-rounded team that I think can beat Balt. Their D is elite, and the offense gets on track with Ben, they can hang with anyone. That said, I think we can hang with anyone also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDawkinstein Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 ESPN has us #7 https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/29886007/week-2-nfl-power-rankings-1-32-poll-plus-team-best-rookie-debut Only one I could really argue against is being behind the 49ers who lost. But we'll see how it plays out, and at least they have us ahead of the Titans who I dont believe in at all. And Pittsburgh should probably be higher. At least ahead of the Patriots, imo.

whatdrought Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 We stayed at #6 in NFL.com: Quote We got the Josh Allen pu pu platter in Sunday's win over the Jets. Big plays with his legs (57 yards, TD), a career-best passing day (312 yards, two scores) and -- yes -- a pair of lost fumbles, both on the opponent's side of the field. Allen also airmailed a gimme TD to John Brown that would have put New York away in the fourth quarter, but on balance, the day was a successful one for both the Bills and their polarizing third-year quarterback. A trip to Miami is up next on the schedule; getting the Jets and Dolphins back-to-back is pretty much the ideal way to start a football season in 2020. Hard to argue with, not sure a win over the Jets boosts us all that much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was impressed with some of his throws in crossing patterns, hitting guys in stride, including a couple of really bad drops. 2 hours ago, That's No Moon said: Biggest thing I noticed was that he couldn't fight off sacks.

I think there were two sacks last night that surprised me because he could usually fight out of them, but last night he just collapsed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After seeing Mike Nolan trying to run the 2005 Baltimore defense that we have seen fail for so many other former Baltimore DCs in the last few years on Sunday I am out on them.

Philly were atrocious I watched that game back this morning. They lost their left tackle, right tackle and best guard - two of them for the year. They couldn't protect Went at all. I can see Dallas as a 9 win division winner. I could see Philly as the same I suppose but neither of those are 10+ win teams IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
