Steelers | Roethlisberger throws two more interceptions Week 5
Sun, 8 Oct 2006 21:39:52 -0700

The Associated Press reports Pittsburgh Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger threw two more interceptions during the team's Week 5 loss to the San Diego Chargers. Roethlisberger now has seven interceptions for the 2006 season and has yet to throw a touchdown pass this year. He was also sacked five times as the Steelers lost 23-13.

QB isn't getting it done, RB phenom from last year can't get anything going, OL looks like swiss cheese.  What's going on here?

It's just the post SB blues.  Hpoefully his hangover continues until Week 16.

It is partially the teams he has played, partially him being a bit hesitant, and partially him just not playing well.

So far he has played the Jaguars, Bengals, and Chargers. Every one of those teams has a good to great defense so the schedule hasn't helped him out any yet this season. He doesn't really look terrible out there just a bit out of sync. I wouldn't worry about Big Ben...he is going to be just fine eventually. He might need to just stop worrying about his injuries, etc. and play the game though.
