Big Ben

[lawrencefrank]

He chokes in the pressure, thats all you can say, 2 interceptions. 1 returned for a TD

[NomarFan5]

Chokes under pressure.. did you see that pass he just made on 4th and 5? That was beautiful.

M Clayton Should Of Got Rookie Of The Year Dammit!!!!!

[lawrencefrank]

One, play big deal, 3 picks, should of been more.

[DONtheGREAT23]

i dont get how you are all saying he is so bad. he is still a rookie, he only lost one start all year. how good did you expect him to be? should he be expected to never play bad and never lose? i think the kid is great and i dont think he choked under the pressure, i think his run just ran out. he could only keep winning for so long. i think he will be fine under pressure in the future. remember, he is still just a rookie

[Shadow29]

The Last thing he did was choke during that game. He made a few bad throws, but that 3rd Quarter was simply amazing. Close game, and it shoulda been closer. But theres a good look at a future top QB.

But theres a good look at a future top QB.

You're talking about Tom Brady, right?

[lawrencefrank]

No, I am saying hes very good. However, he just choaked this playoffs, there is not more to say.Though he did have a good 3rd quater.

Big Ben is going to have a great career, I mean take any QB currently entering the pro's, and tell me one that would go 15-0 and take his team to the AFC Championship

[MyHotCards]

CHOKE...no A in it.
SO what. You like the Nets and it takes 2 stars and a bunch of others on that team to suck. And they do it regularly. Ben had a bad game that ended the season. Get off his jock. Everyone in the league wishes, at least for a moment that they had him. Even if its just to use for marketing.

[lawrencefrank]

MHC, I am saying Ben is a great player, but I feel he choaked the last few games. Id like to have him on my team also, all im saying is he didnt play good this game and somewhat choked

[MyHotCards]

CHOKE....its CHOKE...not CHOAK...CHOKE....
I dont know what the hell a CHOAK is.

[crazyburritoz2]

All i know is he didnt win 15 games HIS TEAM DID! He probably threw the least amount of passes for games played in the NFL. HIS TEAM WON 15 GAMES!

[twins15]

Yikes, Roethlisberger is a rookie, playing the AFC Championship Game against a great defense and mastermind coach, and while granted he made some terrible throws during the course of the game, he is labeled a choker. I have heard it all.

[Guido]

Yea, what is a choak exactly? No doubt he didn't do well under pressure, in the playoffs. Give him time. Hopefully all Steelers fans realize he is just a rookie and will mature. Running him out of town, even if he has a mediocre to poor season next year, would be a foolish decision.

[cshutout33]

Well, he, and "his team" did better than Eli "I Want Wanna Go to San Diego" Manning... and thats all that matters to me.

[McMaster]

Ben played very poorly but I'm happy they lost!!

[Magus Relmyn]

Choke? He ran into an outstanding defense. Granted, he still made rookie mistakes at times, but he still had 2 touchdowns.

Your knowledge of Football must be very limited to make such a moronic statement. This may seem as a way of taking some of the blame off of him but I dont care. He is a rookie QB. For him to go on 16 game winning streak and to lose in the AFC championship as a rookie, there are no negatives I see in this situation. New England has a great defence, pretty complex for a rookie to figure out. He didn't seem to be rattled against NYJ. He had alot of pressure on him in that game and performed just fine. Think about the matchup.

[Insomniac]

Granted, he still made rookie mistakes at times

Could this possibly be...because he is INDEED a rookie? *banana* :) :D

[lawrencefrank]

I love Big Ben as a QB, he just did not perform this playoffs, he didnt look himself, thats all.

[Insomniac]

His 1st start in the playoffs against NYJ last week he seemed to play just fine. You must remember the caliber of NE's defense. They are flawless.

[badbladez8]

i wouldnt say the pats d was flawless but they did step it up against the steelers run game which helped the pats shut pit down.
