Batch will have to do with the likes of Grossman and Griese already taken. Not fair of the Bears to hoard all that QB talent.
Griese has a career QB rating in the mid 80's and a winning record. Grossman has an arm that Batch could only dream of. And IMO, Big Ben is overrated too, but whatever.

Steelers are a joke. Cowher trying to blame refs after the game really pissed me off. Also, if I were Jim Mora jr. I wouldnt have even shook his hand after the game for the crap he pulled on that field goal attempt. Calling TO as the play began. WTF is that? Dirty move by a dirty coach. Down with the steelers.

Out of my mind, back in a moment.
The Steelers didn't deserve the superbowl win last year, and they don't deserve anything this year. They are playing like crap, their QB is crap, and their coach is a douche.

Too bad the Bears won't be meeting the Steelers this year...I'd love to see them squash Cowher good.

Wait, the Jags, Bengals and Chargers did that already. Denver will beat them, Baltimore will beat them twice, Cincy wins again, and Carolina will do them in.

I didn't watch the game but isn't pretty much standard procedure to call a TO before a game ending field goal to try to shake the kicker? I've only seen it done a hundred times by about every team in the same position.

No no, this wasnt the standard "icing the kicker" it was something else altogether. He didnt call TO until the play was in action and somehow got away with it. Even the announcers were all "WTF?" replaying when the ball was snapped and the sound, synching it up. It was BS.
On the play, the kicker made a 56yd FG, but the refs overturned it, made him kick again and he missed.
...Then pit gets the ball back, march down the field, and false start when trying to spike the ball for a FG. So, that means there's a 10 second clock runoff, end of regulation, and then cowher goes apesh!t in the press conf. calling out the refs saying it wasnt a false start "when replay plainly shows it was" ... whatever. Good for them losing. I hate the steelers.

The TO part just sounds like bad ref'ing. I'm sure everybody would call time out in the middle of a play if they could get away with it. But blaming **** on refs after the game is teh gay no matter what. Want to win? Put enough points up on the board so one play makes no difference. It isn't like that was some low scoring defensive slugfest.

Yeah, just as the play was about to begin, he sort of taps or grabs the side judge's attention away from the line, the ref looks away the ball is snapped, cowher says "Timeout" the ref looks back and starts blowing the whistle after the play has already begun. I couldnt beleive it.
But yeah, its not even like the Falcons are good. Giving up 40 points to them is a sign of a horrid season. Thank god for that.:happydance:

I woul have liked to see them win mainly because Charley Batch was in, I think. I'd like to see Charley go undefeated as the backup while Ben struggles.

Didn't see the game, but did listen to parts of it on Sirius. For those dogging Ben it sounded as those he was lighting up the Falcons but the defense let them down and he played well against the lowly KC defense as well. Except for the concussion, it seems he is playing well now at least.

As a Steeler fan I really can't stand Cowher.

Charlie is a good guy! I have never met Ben, but as for him strugling? he was doing fairly well when he got knocked out.

the turnovers will kill any team, even when the stats say they DOMINATED Atlanta. 3 turnovers that led to 21 points will be then end... I am surprised it was as close as it was giving up those 21 points off of turnovers!

Right, right. My favorite thing about football is all the hand wringing and gnashing of teeth that goea on the next day after a loss. Like the world is going to stop spinning because of a football game.
(But the Squellers still suck! Even if the Bears fall on their a$$e$ and lose the rest of their game, the Squellers will still suck!)

Excuse me our qb is junk?...um take a look.."Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, who completed 16 of 22 passes for 238 yards and three touchdowns, left the game with 7:45 to play in the third quarter when he suffered a blow to the head. 16 of 22 is pretty good.
