Those 3rd dwn conversations we are use to seeing weren't there and a few penalties kills drives. Once again I was at my favorite Steelers bar and by the time 3rd Quater came around ppl were yelling for Charlie Batch..really? If anything they should have been yelling for Dixon. Batch is as good as Ben if Ben had 2 ankle sprains. I'm not usually the type to complain about penalties, but that call on Timmons on the field goal attempt that gave Frisco a1st down that lead to a touchdown instead of 3pts was the nail in the coffin, defence plays Steelers style all night (points wise). All that being said Ben can sit for the next 2 weeks against the Browns & Rams unless the Ratbirds gift wrap another loss for us which is unlikely..if they do the decision will be to play or sit Ben. I hope he sits and I hope Batch or Dixon can earn their pay-check.
