Could The Pittsburgh Steelers Be Interested In Cowboys Qb Tony Romo If Ben Roethlisberger Retires

... Meanwhile, the Cowboys sure could use a marquee edge rusher in 2017, and rumor has it the Steelers have a couple. Before the Steelers scoff at the idea, it would behoove them to remember that backups Landry Jones and Zach Mettenberger combine for a record of 2-12 with 16 interceptions to match their 16 touchdown passes. For contrast, Romo's last 14 starts yielded a record of 11-3 with 30 touchdowns to only 11 interceptions, with three of those INTs being against the 15-1 Carolina Panthers. For now, it's all simply preliminary wondering based on a potentially logical landing spot for Romo should Roethlisberger choose to hang up his cleats for good. And yes, Pittsburgh could wait to see if the veteran gets released by Dallas, but that would put the onus completely on Romo as far as where he wants to go. And for now, that choice appears to be the Mile-High City. So, as irony would have it, head coach Mike Tomlin and Todd Haley could have a better shot at ...

Ben Roethlisberger Proves His Greatness On One Clutch Play

... 18-16 win over the Chiefs. Getty Images. MORE FROM. Matt Ryan or Aaron Rodgers will have nightmare that won't end. KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The fog was as thick as split-pea soup, and it was rapidly descending on Arrowhead Stadium, and there were 75,678 folks, most of them clad in red, who were desperately throwing their voices against the fog, against the mist, against the chill. It can be a very simple thing sometimes, playoff football. You make a play. Or the other guy makes a play. The other guy’s name in this instance was Ben Roethlisberger, and he had the ball in his hands, third-and-4, a minute and a half left in this frosty rock fight. He had taken the snap and rolled left, and the noise reached a crescendo: so many Kansas City football ghosts lurking, the Chiefs having already lost five of the seven home games they’ve played in the postseason, almost every one of the losses excruciating. “I liked the look in our eyes,” Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said. “I liked what I saw.”. The 70,000 or so Chiefs fans here, and the others with their eyes desperately clinging to television sets all over town, probably were ...

Ben Roethlisberger Takes A Needless Shot At His Own Teammates After Crushing Pats Loss

... 7:09 am Follow @Luke Kerr Dineen. 5.8 k shares. Follow @Luke Kerr Dineen. It’s hard to imagine the crushing feeling players must feel after a heartbreaking — and in this case, rather humiliating — playoff loss. They worked so hard all season, fought to within one game of the Super Bowl, and then in one moment in front of the entire country, saw it disintegrate in their hands. A bit like that poor raccoon’s cotton candy. Naturally, some emotional talk following the result is to be expected. But after the loss on Sunday night, Ben Roethlisberger took it a bit far. “There were missed opportunities whether we didn’t execute well enough, whether plays weren’t made by me or other guys. At times it felt like maybe it was too big for some of the young guys.”. He continued. “We talk about how sometimes it’s just one play here, ...

Why Doesn't Ben Roethlisberger Sneak Like Tom Brady

... besides Miami: 17, 18, 16, 18, 17. Those are outputs the ‘85 Bears might not have overcome. Anyway, that likely would have been Bryant instead of Sammie Coates when Coates alligator-armed the early bomb. Might have been Bryant, too, when Cobi “Dan Orlovsky” Hamilton stepped out of bounds and then back in, and earlier dropped a touchdown pass. Hines Ward had it right when he said of the first play that Hamilton should have ducked out of sight after stepping out of bounds, so as to make himself unavailable to Ben Roethlisberger. Terrible mistake. You might remember that Bryant, when last seen in a playoff game, was making one of the most spectacular touchdown catches on record. Of course, Green might have been the target on any number of plays, as well. He was a major difference maker in his limited time — and on Monday didn’t sound like a man contemplating ...

Ben Roethlisberger Critical Of Young Receivers After Afc Title Loss

... guys.”. On the Steelers’ first series, Roethlisberger threw deep to Sammie Coates on third-and-1. Coates had a chance to make the catch, but he failed to lay out for the ball and it bounced off his fingers. Later in the game, when the Steelers trailed, 33-9, Hamilton caught a touchdown from Roethlisberger on a third-and-goal play, but he committed a penalty before the catch when he stepped out of the back of the end zone, demonstrating no field awareness. The Steelers went for it on fourth down and didn’t make it. “It’s a little frustrating,” Roethlisberger said. “We talk about how sometimes it’s just one play here, one play there. Tonight we didn’t make those plays. Was [the moment] too big? I don’t know. We need to make every single play in a game like this, in a moment like this. “Hopefully, this is a learning game for guys ...

Relax Steelers Fans, Big Ben Is Just Blowing Off Steam And Isn't Going Anywhere

... a decision about football are the sounds of a superstar quarterback decompressing from another demanding season and struggling with the hollow feeling after a decisive loss at New England in the AFC Championship Game. Ben Roethlisberger further cemented himself in Steelers and NFL lore with another strong season. Pittsburgh marched deep into the playoffs for the first time in a while and that offense will be even more loaded with talent around him in 2017. More on Super Bowl LI. Super Bowl halftime rankings, 50-1. This is Ben being Ben. He's venting a little, and he is entitled to. Drama tends to follow him, and much like the hoopla with some of his injury scares, this will add to the Roethlisberger mythology and give the football world offseason fodder. But inside that team headquarters ...

Roethlisberger Takes Aim At Young Steelers Teammates After Loss To Patriots

... Today" analyst for CBS - Bart Scott usually "can't wait" to make his disdain for Tom Brady and the Patriots known. He was back at it Tuesday in an interview with CBS Radio's Damon Amendolara , in which he said the Falcons have the better quarterback heading into Super Bowl LI. “We know they’re the better offense, and right now, you could say they got the better quarterback because they have the MVP of the league,” Scott said. Ryan is the favorite to win the NFL MVP, which will be announced the night before the Super Bowl at the "NFL Honors" show. “Now that’s a debate, but Matt Ryan has earned the right for his name to be put up there with the upper-echelon quarterbacks," Scott said. "He’s always been elite in the regular season, but now he’s taken this show into the postseason and he’s won the hard battles against the elite quarterbacks and now you have to give him his due.”. More from Scott: “I can’t see the Patriots stopping this offense. So, that means that these receivers are going to have to [keep] pace. It’s all going to come down to what it always comes down to. It’s going to come down to who makes the turnovers, who gets up early and puts the ...

... the full transcript of his answer. “It’s an unfortunate situation that we’ve got to deal with right now, because that locker room is a sacred place, after the game especially. That’s why we don’t let media people in there. That’s why fans and family aren’t in there. That’s a sacred place where things are said, and hugs and tears, and it’s kind of a special place. “So, a little disappointed with AB for that. I know he’s excited, everyone’s excited. They want to share it with the world and with fans and all that stuff. And it’s hard, because you are excited. You’re happy, and you won a big game, and you made a big play to win the game. “But I am a little disappointed that he did that, because that is a sacred thing. Coach talked, and then I talked. And you don’t want everyone to know what’s going on in there in the family. And then also, I wish AB would’ve been listening to coach and myself, instead of being on the other side of the locker ...
