I would hate to be a Steelers fan

I would hate, hate, hate to be a Steelers fan. I'm watching them play Jax right now in the playoffs, and they've just come within five, and had the two-point conversion called back due to holding on the center. But they're bringing it close again. But even if they win, it has to be somewhat hollow. Steelers fans, sadly, live and die by Big Ben Roethlisberger. Who, this game alone, thus far (10:25 left in the 4th), is 27-38 with 325 yards and two TDs. Pretty fucking good. And three interceptions. Oh. And five sacks. Thus the reason the Steelers are down five points.

Big Ben can throw the ball a mile and a half, like a bullet. He can also toss the ball the nearest guy in the other uniform just as easily. Or get the ball tipped to no one in particular. And he's REAL good at losing way too many yards on sacks. He's amazingly talented and has amazingly little football sense. So even though the Steelers won the Super Bowl a few years back, I can guarantee at no point did the fans feel safe, like Ben had it covered. Even Colts fans in all those years before making it to the bowl had to feel like they had a better shot. Fuck, even Chargers fans last year with Rivers and Schottenheimer must have felt safer. Cubs fans feel more confident.

Let's hope he fucks up a few more times. I've got 20-1 the Jags win the Super Bowl.

UPDATE: Big Ben was sacked and fumbled at the end of the 4th quarter to lose the game. Check and mate.
