Maybe Roethlisberger should sit for a while after his performance against the awful Oakland Raiders…..who defeated the Steelers 20-13!  Maybe Ben is now color-blind after all the head shots he’s taken since he thought he was Evel Kienevel!  Roethlisberger completed 25 of 37 passes for 301 yards with 1 TD and 4 INTERCEPTIONS!  Two of his pick-offs were returned for TDs by the Raiders defense!  Willie Parker carried the ball 22 times for 83 yards (3.8 ypc) and caught 2 passes for 28 yards and a TD.  Hines Ward caught 8 passes for 81 yards and has looked great the last couple of weeks.  Cedric Wilson pitched in 5 receptions for 53 yards.  Nate Washington caught a 49 yard Hail Mary at the end of the game, but was tackled at the 3 yard line!

The defense played a fantastic game that was wasted by Roethlisberger’s pathetic play!  LB Clark Haggans had 5 tackles and 2 sacks.  Joey Porter returned and had 2 sacks and an interception.  The Raiders carried the ball 29 times for 81 yards (2.8 ypc).  The Steelers only allowed the Raiders to complete 5 of 14 passes for 17 net yards passing.

How can one player lose a game by himself.  Watch this game film and you’ll find out.
