YoloinOhio Posted January 4, 2022 Posted January 4, 2022 Storyline was supposed to be a big division game that had AFC North winner/WC implications … it now has neither except for Steelers still being alive for a WC if they win. Biggest storyline now is that it’s Ben’s last home game. 2nd biggest storyline is that Aaron Rodgers isn’t afraid of the jinx and is tempting fate by going on the manningcast. Quote

I’ll give ESPN credit for actually doing something right, for a change. I probably wouldn’t have watched this game if not for the Manning Cast. I’ve only seen a few minutes of it this year, oddly, buy I enjoyed what little I saw. Quote

This game is built to watch via manningcast, I agree. I recorded the one that they did during the bills/pats mnf game but never watched it. Quote
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted January 4, 2022 Posted January 4, 2022 I was texting with a buddy who is a Steelers fan and is at the game. We watched the 2004 draft together and he went nuts/angry when the Steelers picked Big Ben. He was like, “So stupid! They could have had Dunta Robinson!” We still remind him of that. 1 Quote

Remember watching that draft. Was praying the Bills would trade ahead of Pittsburgh. Apparently Jax wanted too much in a trade up. So instead Donahoe gave up the farm to trade up for Losman. And the next 15 years was history. 1 1 Quote

I remember when Maddox(?) got hurt and steelers fans were saying the season was over, and then rothlesberger goes 14-1. It's crazy he's played this long. It seems like yesterday 1 Quote
0017 Posted January 4, 2022 Posted January 4, 2022 (edited) I need Nick Chubb to get 10 points to win my fantasy league! So that’s pretty exciting 😁 Edited January 4, 2022 by Dr. Football 1 Quote
Talley56 Posted January 4, 2022 Posted January 4, 2022 Good chance that this will be the last game in Pittsburgh for Ben and the Browns probably feeling a little dejected being eliminated from the playoffs. Picking the Steelers. Quote

Apparently, TD had Ben ranked as the top QB on his board and almost did that deal. Would love to know now how close/far apart they were. If it was like a future 3rd round pick, ugh…. Quote

It was the ultimate double whammy because the next years no.1 we traded to get JP Losman, could of gotten us Aaron Rodgers. Its how you set a franchise back 3 years.

stevewin Posted January 4, 2022 Posted January 4, 2022 Wow going all in on Ben in the opening - I'll be watching the Mannings Quote
Buffalo Boy Posted January 4, 2022 Posted January 4, 2022 BB always reminds me of two things: Sexual assault and J.P. Losman. Neither are good memories for me. Good riddance Bum! 1 2 Quote
ControllerOfPlanetX Posted January 4, 2022 Posted January 4, 2022 The “Big Ben spent one too many years in the NFL” tour continues... Quote
billsherd Posted January 4, 2022 Posted January 4, 2022 Any implications on the playoffs seeding from this game? Any chance bills end up playing Steelers in the wildcard? Quote
SirAndrew Posted January 4, 2022 Posted January 4, 2022 That was an awful painting of Big Ben they showed before commercial break. Quote
