I think that's the problem. From what I understand, the Steeler's QB doesn't usually wear the gloves. Of course, with the weather they're expecting I would wear gloves...
WIth the weather there I'd be wearing Joe Namaths old coat, and maybe a couple of his old girlfriends too. Guess that's why I watch and don't play, football is best played in weather I'd rather never see in person.
Roethlisberger usually DOES wear gloves, but supposedly had problems with the gloves last week. Was debating the glove issue all week has chosen for using them, but may take them off if they are a problem.
If he's struggling early he'll toss them aside.
