Ben has absolutely no presure on him. His team makes him good. Period. He has not 1, but 2 great running backs. He has a great offensive line. A great tight end. Good receivers. And the number 1 defense in the league. (Number 1 rush defense as well. Have fun Corey.) A quarterback's fate rests so much on the talent around him and Big Ben's had some wonderful advantages. I think he can make a mistake or 2 and still come out ok as long as the rest of the team plays well. They don't ask him to win games. They simply ask him not to turn the ball over.

I feel the same about Manning. 49 touchdowns is great. But I think other teams QBs could have accomplished the same feats given his offense around him and the poor defense that makes running up the score a necessirty.

I think Rothlisberger will make some stupid decisions in the pocket that either cost them turnovers or touchdowns and that will make the difference.  He'll make rookie mistakes and the question will be whether the rest of the team can still overcome them.  Against the Patriots, the answer is no.

Damn, looks like I predicted another one right.

Yea this pats / steelers game is weird for me.  I really really really hate pittsburgh and would love to see them lose.  However thinking purely as an eagles fan I think the eagles would have an better chance of beating pitt in the superbowl than they would NE.  But I think they can beat NE so I'm still rooting for them in this game.
