Ben Roethlisberger cannot throw deep

[teegre]

But apparently the 2012 Ravens red zone performance was not below average - I did not know that was a problem with the 2016 Broncos and Old Man Peyton until I read this article - that was why I used the 2016 Broncos (who had a great, not very good, defense) as a possible model

Good point.

I was only thinking about the QB position (and, I honestly feel that BB has a lot more gas in the tank than Peyton did).

I watched parts of the Colts game again and I went and watched parts of the Lions game and Ben’s problems look plain and simple to me. It looks like he’s aiming the ball and forcing the ball. It doesn’t look like mechanics, it just looks like he’s pressing it and thinking too much. First half of the Colts game he’s doing that, second half he gains some confidence and lets it happen. If he was mechanically bad, he wouldn’t just bounce back in a half like that.

Sounds like my golf game!

All I can tell you unequivocally is that 2-pt. conversion and last drive for the winning FG was vintage BB. I had that same feeling I always had in the 1970s when I knew the Steelers would pull out a win. It was classic.

I agree.

Remember that Tomlin and Ben said that they were trying to make a real conscious effort to limit the INT's/turnovers this year. I think he's trying too hard to avoid INT's and it's making him overthrow so much. I think Mojouw was right that it's mental.

Kind of like a 2nd baseman overthrowing a routine out at first all the time. (For you Yankee fans, an example: think Chuck Knoblauch when he got moved to LF from 2B. That guy was just missing routine throws badly)

If your golf game is anything like mine - I think we know Ben R's solution:

Hit the game about 2 beers in and have a few "maintenance beers" during the game to keep it all going well.

Or maybe that's just me. Gotta keep that aiming fluid topped off!

I'm going to try that tomorrow?

So what about the underthrows

[st33lersguy]

The receivers can't hold onto the ball and the OC can't call plays to save his life

[Craic]

Well, tonight, I wouldn't put it on Ben. He's throwing the ball pretty well.

[86WARD]

He had a couple bad throws but that’s normal. Seemed like he was out there playing Ben ball and chucking it and not thinking about it...

[Lady Steel]

Ben most definitely still has his mojo.

8-2!
