Hopefully this is just talk because Tomlin can't win 7 games a season without a star/franchise qb.

What a terrible game Tomlin obviously didn't study much outcoached for sure. To beat the Pats you have to blitz Brady the Broncos have proved this plenty of times. Poor Big Ben, that loss definitely isn't on him. Sad it might have been his last playoff game.

Definitely out coached and how about a college lacrosse player tearing them up.

Ben isn't leaving. I didn't realize he'd have to give back $19m worth of signing bonuses if he did.

I think it's just a way to call out Tomlin who's the ringmaster of the Brown, Porter, Bell, Bryant, etc..., lack of discipline circus.

It gets everyone's attention though which is great since he's Tomlin's and the rest of the offenses meal ticket. Without Ben this team has zero chance unless they'd strike gold again in the draft which is extremely unlikely.

You may be correct, but I'd rather lose than have Ben Roethlisberger as our QB. I used to love the team because I thought it was a respectable organization. I won't root for a team lead by a rapist.

Nobody is asking you to root for the Stillers as they're already one of the most popular teams in sports, but when was Ben charged or proven to be a rapist?

Only one on the team I know that has a charge of attacking anyone is James Harrison against his girlfriend at the time.

Guess I missed the part about him being charged, prosecuted, and convicted.

Ben has about 2-3 good years left in him as he's not aging gracefully. Whenever you hear stories about your qb having to lose weight before training camp that screams lack of preparation/dedication. People knock Brady but every season he has his team making deep runs. While Ben is more physically talented then Brady (gap is closing as Ben ages) Brady is far superior in the mental nuances/aspects of the game.

Put Ben on the Pats and Brady on the Stillers and you'd have the same results.

The quarterback isn't the problem.

I don't think Ben is as focused as in years past. He has very young kids and they are all so close together in age. I wish he would retire to be honest. I just don't think he is all that great in the big games. Sure didn't show up in the past two playoff games.
