After sleeping on yesterday's win..
There's always been one thing I have never liked about Ben Rothlisberger and it has happened every game this season.
Ben always takes his foot off the gas when the Steelers get a lead. Watch for it - Steelers get ahead, the drive immediately after will always stall, and is often a three and out with Ben trying to force something big downfield.
He has done this for years. It's his greatest flaw, and before this season it worked for him because he was sitting on the Steelers defense.
This game would have been another collapse if it was any team but the Bengals. Ben did the same thing here - offense stalled when they got a lead. Only difference is the Bungholes could do nothing with it.
This is where Haley's offense will be beneficial. Ben needs to learn to sustain drives after the lead is gotten. The most important touchdown is the one after you get the lead, and that's the one that Tom Brady and (at one time) Peyton Manning make sure they get.
Are you sure that's Ben, or the offensive coordinator's fault? We aren't in the no huddle, Ben's not making these calls.
