I was done with him when he got burnt by Cecil Shorts and his blazing 4.7 speed for a game winning TD when the Browns played the Jags years ago.

He’s garnering too much attention though here.....this is about Ben being so inexplicably bad that he’s killed his own defense.....now that is BAD

If Roethlisberger continues playing like this I wonder if Tomlin would have the stones to pull the plug on him and go to Rudolph?

Rudolph vs Miles week 17 

Just noticed on the crawler that Kevin Greene has died at 58. He was a heckuva player. Rams and Steelers.

2x on 2nd and 1 they pass and terrible plays....then run on 3rd down and lose 2 yards

Get the first and get a new set of downs 

The NFL is bought off because no way could Ben be that atrocious in the first half snd then somehow make a game of it. Bengals clearly tried to lose and they couldn’t out lose Ben.

Merry Christmas to the Bengals....from Big Ben

I’d bench him. No one could be worse and he’ll be scared shitless vs Colts pressure. I wonder what the moment was where he lot the desire to play and not worry about injury. He’s frightened. Shook.

Possible the Browns/Steelers game is going to mean something in week 17. As I see it, no way Pittsburgh's beating Indy if they keep playing this listlessly. 

I think it might have been you who said it a couple of weeks ago that they were "an 8-4 team that was lucky to be 11-1" or something to that effect. They had close calls against Jeff Driskel (Denver backup), Carson Wentz (benched) and, I think, Garrett Gilbert (Dallas). Now they get beaten by Finley and the Bengal defense. Maybe JuJu should stop dancing on opponents logos before the game?

While you're saying you'd bench him, the dumbass, who looks done, is saying he's coming back another season.

Need that “how it started vs how it ended” meme of Juju dancing before the game then going 3 for 15yds with a fumble.

Lol...you saw the first half

How are they going to beat anyone? Ebron hurt, one of Ben’s favorite targets. Ben can’t complete anything over 10 yards....and really not close.

Defense missing 3 of 4 top LB and they get tired as hell with all the 3 and outs.

We’ll see how good Tomlin is....rah rah won’t cut it.

He hasn’t done anything for weeks. The hell is he doing? Meanwhile crazy AB is behaving and doing well. This falls on lack of offensive leadership and back onto Tomlin. Selfish dumbass receiver.

Dance after a go ahead TD you dumb shit. Lord

Agree with what you're saying. With the way they played last night they're going to need a miracle to beat Indy on Sunday.

Or because football

There won’t be a crazier upset than the Jets beating the Rams

Steelers will need to be +2 in turnovers and one bing a TD the other way to have a chance. Rivers can throw a pick 6.

So, from 11-0 to 11-5 and a first-round exit in the playoffs. Because the team went from "flawed, but gets the job done" to "completely impotent on offense" just like that. A quarterback whose only concern is getting rid of the ball as quick as possible. A receiver who puts all his focus into his pre-game dance and then contributes nothing after that. A team so mentally soft that their response to a Bengal doing his own dance after a turnover is to drill him five yards out of bounds to further handicap a defense that is being forced to do 100% of the work.

2020 is gonna 2020, I guess.

I think the biggest indictment of where this team is at is that Juju fumble play. It's 3rd and 7 in a game where you have done nothing on offense, so the play is to...dump off a short pass to a guy behind the line of scrimmage in the hopes he can get by the two guys who have a direct line on him and then run 7-8 yards for the first down. Uh, yeah...might want to work on Basic Football IQ, guys. Showed as much enthusiasm for a division clinching game against a weak opponent that I'd show for a 16-hour work day with no pay.

Maybe a little gut check speech from Shazier?

I cannot stop laughing at this.

I was reading the paper this morning and just now saw that the Bengals beat the Steelers.  Unbelievable!

This is an accurate thought process. However, the contrary take is there have been 3 consensus #1 since they were freshman in college. Peyton, Luck and Lawrence. All-Timer, likely would’ve been HOFer (and maybe SB Champion if didn’t retire). So the track record for THAT type of prospect is a bit different. 

You also make a valid point. OTOH, saw a tweet that points out that none of the starting QBs for the eight current division leaders were drafted in the top 5.

I’ve watched 12 of the a Steelers games, this is the 5th Saints game I’ve watched with Brees, have watched Brady and the Bucs 5x and have watched Rivers and the Colts 4x

I don’t see any of those teams getting more than 1 playoff win as their QB’s will throw interceptions and give away the big game (this year)...I guess the other playoff QB’s (sans Rodgers no Mahomes) might do the same....but I’ve watched all 4 of the HOFers throw a lot of terrible passes this year, compared to their primes.
