Not that I think Roethlisberger isn't a good QB. But he's a rookie and he's going to make his share of rookie mistakes. I think he'll be around for a while.
The Patriots are going to come out in the second half not to run up the score but to run down the clock. Thus I see this game tightening up, which will excite the Pittsburgh crowd and give a lot of New Englanders watching at home heartburn. But Belichick knows what he's doing and should have things well in hand at this point, barring a total collapse by the Patriots.
Cower's playing catchup against Belichek's D. He's going to be taking risks.
