Silverback ate your QB;2473245 said:
Both QB's threw away some opportunities, I know Ben had at least one sure touchdown throw that should have been completed and Ward dropped a big first down toss wide open, Holmes dropped a few like he always does...etc.
Actually, Ben did a good job, he did not throw any picks, and his only fumble was due to a great play on defense that no matter who the QB was, would have fumbled anyway. Ben did not have good completion numbers, but the ones he completed were key and he did not make any dumb throws. Romo on the other hand, pretty much all of his throws were dumb throws.
And of course we all know Romo let you guys down on some plays too, I wont bother listing them because you pay TO far too much money to do that for you and he started flapping his gums on the sideline just like I knew he would...
I am glad you are not going to list the plays Romo let us down on, because it would be a very long list.
I think there are a few things we Steeler fans deserve to point out.
Harrison vs. Ware
The talk going into the game was Harrison isn't worthy of the comparison. The results of the game however prove Harrison was the better player in the game where it counts. Thinking you know which player will end up with better career stats means nothing to me.
I am not sure who in their right mind would say Harrison is not worthy, he is a great player. Where I disagree with you is saying Harrison is the better players in a game that counts. I do not think you will have any offensive coordinator that will agree with you on this. Ware does not have other great players around him like a Troy Palamalu, a Farrior and some other excellent players like that. When you play the Steelers you have to account for the whole great defense they have. When playing Dallas, you key more in on DeMcarcus Ware. Also, remember that Ware is also over 4 years younger than Harrison and is just beginning to hit his prime. The best is yet to come.
Romo vs. Roethlisberger
Practically an even tie except the huge interception category.
I'll take Roethlisberger over Romo everyday even though Romo might be a better pocket passer and he also has similar skills for extending the play avoiding the sack.
Why? Because Roethlisberger has the heart of a lion and the confidence of a champion that Romo doesn't seem to be able to muster when it really counts. Winning the game is always on his mind..right in front to the exclusion of any other thoughts! No doubts, no anger, no frustrations just KEEP FIGHTING! I think halfway through the fourth quarter Romo was already planning which shirt he was going to wear to which club while Roethlisberger and the Steelers were still totally heads in the game!
That difference between them is huge and doesn't show up in the stats except in the total wins column...in that game Roethlisberger broke the record for the most wins for a QB in the first five years! So yea, I pick Ben and his potential over Romo who is already all he's going to be.....
Now here I completely agree with you. I also would take Ben over Romo any day. Roethlisberger has proven he can win the big games, as where all Romo has proven is that he is nothing but a choker when a game counts.
I think Ben is one of the most underrated QBs in the game. He does have that never say die attitude, he has a cannon for an arm and some of the ways he keeps plays alive and shrugs off defenders is just sick. Yes, the difference is huge, Romo is not even remotely close to being as good as Ben, and he never will be as good as him.
I think both offensive teams got owned by the opposing defenses but the Cowboys offense is playing closer to their potential best than the Steelers are so for Steeler fans we see the potential for much more improvement than you guys do.
Hold on there, you faced our offense without having to deal with our 2 best running backs. You were facing us with a 4th round pick RB starting his first NFL game. Needless to say, facing Felix Jones with his great speed and big play potential, and Marion Barber would have completely changed things.
On the other side the Steelers defense obviously played better than the Cowboys defense did and I seriously doubt the Cowboys could top the Steelers D this season.
Really? Both defenses gave up 13 points, but the difference was, your team had much better starting field position than we did when on offense. I did not see your Steelers put up a great goal line stand like the Boyz did. You have a great defense, and to be straight up, Tony Romo made your defense look better than ours did in that game. Your defense owes Tony Romo a game ball, he played a great game for the Steelers.
Anyway, I usually would hope to meet and destroy you guys in the Superbowl but I think I'll be hoping to meet the Giants instead because we let them beat us earlier so for bragging rights I want our team to be the ones to take down the reigning champs.
Good luck cowboys (except when the Steelers are playing).
Thanks for the good luck, we will need it. We don't have a QB that can win a big game. Maybe if we can get Troy Aikman out of the booth for the rest of the season we will see you the Super Bowl.
