Hello again to everyone and welcome back to my new and improved website...I thought the perfect time to do my first blog would be thursday mourning before the patriot game...I hope that everyone is doing well and enjoying football season so far...I know that everyone is as excited as I am that we are finally back at it...obviously things are going well so far with wins over the titans and texans we have been doing well so far with a big game this weekend...I know that a lot of you were pretty worried about our offense after the preseason and us not scoring any points, but there were a couple of you out there that believed we could do it just like I did...well I am off to practice today and I hope that everyone watches the game, cheers loud, and has a great time...p.s. remember everyone the season is still very young just like us try not to get to high or to low...Thanks to kevin and joel for the new look website it looks great...well I will talk to you all soon.
Ben,
Thanks for taking the time to write to the fans, it is good to hear from you again. We have faith in you and the entire Steelers' team. I know I will be watching this week, along with every other game, and cheering loud. Good luck!!!

Well, Ben, it seems you have more female fans than males. How did that happen? It's good to hear from you again on the new and improved site. (looks great) I am looking forward to this Sunday's game. (as is everyone) Just don't get tackled like you did in the Texans game. You had all of us gasping for a moment. Good luck, be safe, and have fun!

Hi Ben Roethlisberger,
I just wanted to let you know that my faith in you will never die. The way you carry yourself and the inner faith you have will never fail you as long as you BELIEVE. Win or lose, you are all aces. My uncle told me that once during a rough time in my life, and that is something I wanted to share with you. You are that special. It is the one wish I have to just sit and talk with you.
Always,
Amy [email protected]
P.S. Always stay true to yourself and the values you were taught. You will never fail.

Big Buisness keep it rolling Bro, the nay-sayers will get shown what the real deal in steelerville is!

Thanks for taking the time to write to everyone Ben! I hope your season continues to go good. Have a great week!!

Hi Ben, I just wanted to let you know that I had faith in you, even
throughout the preseason. Anyway I just wanted to let you know that I am rooting for the Steelers and you all the way. I'm from your home state of Ohio and I am definitely a minority when it comes to being a Steelers fan.
I also wanted to let you know that I have noticed you pointing up after you have scored and I think that is so awesome how you are remembering your grandfather. Keep up the great work, and I will be watching as many games I can and wearing my #7 jersey. Keep the B Logs coming it is so great to hear from you.
Go Steelers!!!!

In the preseason, I still had faith, I always have faith in the Steelers! Good Luck on Sunday Ben! Just do your best, thats all you can do. GO STEELERS!
Luv ya,

Ben,
Good luck on Sunday and the rest of the season. I have faith in you and the rest of the steelers. We are going all the way this year!! My family thinks I'm nuts because everyday I wear something that has "steelers" on it. Most of the time it's my ring and watch. I tell them (my family) I support the steelers in good time and in bad. Keep up the great job.
(I go to see you at SVC this year, Thanks for the autograph, my oldest son loves it)

Hey Ben-
It's great to see that you are doing so well again. I think you showed the nay-sayers what was up when u had a perfect passer rating Vs. the Titans. Is it true that you have a home in the Mercer/Hermitage area? Good luck this season! LETS GO STEELERS!!!!
Posted by: Dan T. | September 23, 2005 at 04:38 PM
I am glad you are continuing with the site. I think you have been playing really well and within yourself, not trying to do too much. The weapons around you will make the plays just get it to 'em!! We'll keep the faith for you and the team all seaon long.
Take care of yourself out there. I hate watchin our Franchise QB take hits like those. Part of the territory I guess.
Well I'll keep you in mind during my pre-game prayer for the safety of everyone playing. Can't really ask the Lord for a victory, right? But a few words requesting the good health of everyone involved is proper I think.
Good Luck and do your best!!

Thanks for keeping in touch. We know you are busy. You are doing great Ben. We're taking it one game at a time......or at least trying to. LOL I always pray that you and the rest of the team will do well. So you are always in my prayers. Good luck this Sunday! I know you'll do great! I am so glad it's the season again!
