Overrated yes or no? I say Yes very overrated. he will be a great qb but i dont see this team turning into a dynasty. that got there a$$es handed to them, this game was never close.
The atlanta game could of been closer but mcnabb made one he$$ of a 3rd down play when he scrambled and threw that first down on the sideline, it was unreal to me that was the play that got philly in to the show!

McNabb made some awesome plays - that one in particular was just back-breaking for Atlanta.

This is the time of the year the Pats really come alive. Nothing could have stopped the way they steam rolled last night. In fact, I thought they gave Pittsburg that last TD of the night when they knew they had the game wrapped up and didn't want to expend any more energy until they meet up with the Eagles. You could tell by the way they were just lolly gagging around the field watching the clock tick away.
I tell ya, this is a very special time to be living in NE. This Belichick team is one for the history books. Unfortunately, I'm not sure how next year will pan out with NE losing both their offensive and defensive coordinators.

This is a good point, and one more reason I think the Pats won't lose on Super Bowl Sunday. Things could change dramatically for them in the next few years, and they have a chance to be remembered as one of the best teams in recent history with another SB win.
He's been grooming replacements for a couple of years now.

Hindsight is easy.
He set a very impressive record as a rookie. I don't think he's that overrated.
I give the guy an A+ for the regular season as in the end, he never lost a game for them. He led them to the NFL's best record and he did perform admirably. More importantly, as a rookie he never fell apart during the regular season.
As for the post season, I would be tempted to give him an F, but he did still quarterback his team in a victory and that's still a positive for any rookie quarterback. Further, the Pats defense made Peyton (league MVP) look like just another quarterback so there was not surprise that they did the same to Roethlisberger. C-
I know I'm about to be ripped, but this is just my opinion, I'm not trying to change anyone else's.

<< <i> I heard today that he broke two toes during the middle of the AFC Championship game and played through it. >>
Cowher vehemently denies he had any injury...and there was no evidence at all that big Ben was limping...I don't care how tough you are, with broken toes, you are going to limp some.
I just am afraid that all this success has gone to Ben's head a little...seems he is trying to make excuses for his poor play, instead of just tipping his hat to the Pats, he fabricates this broken toe story. Seems fishy.
He absolutely benefitted from a great running game and a tremendous defense. He never had to pass much, and rarely had to bring his team back from adversity to win.
Not saying the guy is a complete bum, but I wouldn't place the bulk of the Steelers' 15 wins this year on his shoulders...and I hope (for his sake) he remembers how fortunate he is to be in the situation he is in, and not screw it up by trying to big time his team.
Oh, on another note, Plaxico wants out of Pitt, saying he should be the focus of the team? And Bettis might retire? Gotta wonder if Ben has 10 wins next year.
