Silent But Not Deadly...

SI.com reported the story correctly. Big names Brett Farve and Big Ben were mute on Saturday. Both quarterbacks had poor showings while putting up weak numbers. I was kind of surprised to see Farve go 2 for 7. But this man has nothing to prove. Big Ben on the other hand, does have some convincing to do. People of Pittsburgh are sure he's our guy, but sports media has been highly critical of him.
Ben completed both of his passing attempts but fumbled the ball while being sacked during his first series. After looking so good last week, what happened, if anything at all? Ben stated that they didn't have time to get into a rhythm. I don't know about his. You don't need rhythm to hold onto to the ball. Turnovers killed us last year. I hope the same pattern doesn't continue this year. The O-line gave up 5 sacks while playing without Faneca. I've always contended that the most important aspect of a football team is the quality of the O-line. If they don't play well you can't run or throw; odds are you'll end up turning the ball over.
