Well deserved. He had a great game with some #fantasy level numbers... and you can't discount the couple "Vintage Ben" style runs he sprinkled in.

LOL,ihad to laugh at his blazing 7.8 speed.Or what ever he runs the 40 in.He has that deceptive speed thing going on.He is slower than you think.The defense overplays their hands ,and Ben gets a few more yards.Always a chance for a flag on a play such as that.Originally Posted by SteelMember

Also a chance for an injury - I feared he was out for significant time if not the season after the hit in the Ravens game
As SteelMember posts above, Ben is running past the line of scrimmage for yardage more often this year - that may not end well
I enjoyed those as much as the air raid he subjected them to. Especially that one Bettis- style first down run where he was dragging 3 defenders along on his back. This was a statement game for Ben, and he did it with a broken finger.

"We can not live in our fears."
The "vintage Ben" quote was actually from Ramon Foster on that running subject of Ben. I think it not only has to do with the more he seems to be doing it, but more to the fact that he's also a "lighter" version of Ben from the past few years and he looks a lot better... even if it isn't always the safest choice. I think it's more of a joke for the O-line. lol
Foster also commented about the scuffle after the Reid hit. Said David (DeCastro) "blacked out for a few minutes there... and he's done it before". He definitely saw red, but maybe he's an accountant.
Big Ben for president
I’m in. Couldn’t be worse.
Good for Ben and, I hope he can stay healthy. I just glad he did not stumble like Marsha did!
MVP!!!

Should be in the conversation. Close to leading the league in passing yardage and I think Mahomes (leader) has a full game on him.

I’m predicting an MVP type run of games for Ben. He’s on fire. If Washington can get involved too. Wow! Perfect timing for Ben’s heroics as well. If not for Mahomes, this could be the year Ben wins MVP.

Congrats to Ben! I wouldn't trade him for anyone.

It will be hard for Ben to win the MVP or be in the race this year with the season that Mahomes and Brees have.
Fixed!

Do you think he got it because of the QB sneaks or the 158.3?
All Defense!
The 158.3, clearly. But that's not why he deserved it IMO. He wasn't just some dude displaying magically- delicious ball throwing skills and breaking down defenses, he was doing all of the difficult things that a guy does who *really* wants to win a football game. I don't know what was said or who said it, but Ben played like a dude who was *seriously* pissed off against Carolina that night and wanted to prove a point.
I don't remember exactly how many perfect games Ben has had in the past. I know he's up there near the top of the list. I've seen him produce "more perfect" perfect games than this, but all those times he just came off as a guy who the football Gods smiled upon and was having a good time.
This time it was like Ben *himself* had transformed into a vengeful and merciless football God. He smote his enemy without pity or mercy, and it was weirdly hypnotic to watch.
I'm glad he's on *our* side...

Ben always gets hurt when he plays against the Ravens and once he does he plays even more focused than he already was. I am with SteelMember can't live in our fears!!!

You know it, brother! Heath is my true love (
), but I wouldn't trade Ben for any other QB in the world. I'm a Ben homer.

Ben was like, "Watch this, Superman... I still got it, you young whippernsapper."
Clearly he won for the “smote” part.

Ben has the most perfect games in NFL history. He has 4 - tied with P. Manning.

Remember way back when some people wanted to trade him to the Rams for the #1 pick. We would have gotten Sam Bradford.
HEEEEEEEATH!!! was always a special player.

As for Ben I'm sure you couldn't tell by my avatar who my favorite player is. LOL I have relentlessly defended him on this very board and will always continue to do so. Ben will be missed by this fanbase when he is gone, hopefully we won't have to worry about that anytime soon. I too would not trade him for any other player in the world. Brady cheated and I continue to say that is the reason for his success, Peyton was only good if things went by script and early on blamed others for loses, Brees is great but I doubt he could do what Ben did with the o-line Ben had early in his career, Rodgers is very Ben like, but has only been to 1 superbowl Ben is still better. Because of his toughness I sincerely believe that Ben could have played in any era and had great success, can't say that of any others. Sorta like Fouts only better.

I seem to recall that one as well as the one where someone suggested we trade Ben and get Booger Butt Fumble Sanchez.Remember way back when some people wanted to trade him to the Rams for the #1 pick. We would have gotten Sam Bradford.
Ben has 4 perfect games.
Peyton also has 4 perfect games, but in one of those games, he only threw the ball 9 times.
The last 4 out of 5 MVP's ending up losing in the Super Bowl so with that said, I'd rather Ben not be the MVP and the Steelers win the Super Bowl.
The last player to win the MVP and the super bowl in the same year is Kurt Warner in 1999....9 of his players have been in the Super Bowl since 2000, but they are 0-9 combined!The last 4 out of 5 MVP's ending up losing in the Super Bowl so with that said, I'd rather Ben not be the MVP and the Steelers win the Super Bowl.
What game did Manning only throw 9 times? Did he play the full game?? If so, that’s a rare one...
In fact he only throw 7 times and the game was in week 17 in 2008 and he has only play one drive.
