i thought the contrast with Collins was interesting tonight as well; with the two short FG misses he more than did his job by giving his team a chance to win the game, but somehow Ben made it happen when he had to, which is usually regarded as what separates great QB's from very good QB's.
It worked for Daunte Culpepper for quite a while too... then, one day, it stopped working.

Good for him- that's not nearly as bad as it could have been. Especially since they play the Lions and Browns in weeks 5 and 6. Might get off to a bit of a rough start, but they'll be fine.

I couldn't come to terms with the zone cushion that the Titans secondary was giving Worthlessburger to throw into it. It was just ridiculous. John Kitna would have picked that apart.

So how many total pump-fakes do you think Roethlisberger did last night? Over 100?

I hadn't noticed until the announcers mentioned it then it was so obvious. What do you do about that when your a safety just ignore the quarterback?

The Titans scored when both Polamalu and Woodley were out. Both defenses looked pretty good. I thought that the Steelers O-Line got absolutley dominated by the Titans D-line. The Steelers jsut could not run the ball. Both teams will benefit from playing Cincy and Cleveland twice this year, and I beleive they have the NFC West, so that is 8 wins for both teams already.

Collins I thought was very effective last night. He made some good throws and I can't remember anything horrific.

Rothlisthberger played the way he always does, he pumped faked away, kept the play going until his receivers could finally get open. But he is not going to last the year taking hits like the ones he took last night.

Ben is worthless?? As a QB, he led his team to two SB rings with two different coaches in the last four years. He must be doing something right.

It was also interesting that Mendenhall was only given 4 carries. I know that he was on IR for most of his rookie season, but for the first 4 games when he was healthy he only put up 19 attempts for 58 yards. Not a promising beginning for a #23 overall pick at a position where players usually hit the ground running (literally and figuratively).

Teams always had a problem with Collins' attitude, never his skill level. He was not a leader.

He's a grizzled vet by now and he reminds me that I'm getting on in years because I was at PSU when he led that undefeated team in 94. Can't believe he's still playing at age 38, but the good thing about him is that he's aged, so he has maturity, is more of a leader, and he's retained a lot of his skills, which include great touch on catchable balls.

Roethlisberger reminds me of a young Collins, actually, though Ben R. has the pluses of strength and escapability. On another team, Ben R.'s reckless meatheadedness would be treated the same way as the young Collins' alcoholic exploits. He'd be a scapegoat. The two Qbs both have long windups, ridiculously good touch on the ball, both are prone to boneheaded errors, do not have great vision.

Well, you know, besides from the atrocious throw that turned into a Polamalu INT.
