Breaking down the polls

Tuesday, October 6th, 2009

Figured I’d finally get to replacing the poll at the right. For about the last two weeks, we’ve been asking which quarterback you thought would finish the season with the most touchdown passes between Big Ben, Carson Palmer and Joe Flacco.

I thought about including a combo choice of Brady Quinn/Derek Anderson in the poll, but cmon. Fuck that.

Your results, after two weeks and 14 (yes, 14!) votes …

Ben Roethlisberger: 7 votes

Joe Flacco: 5 votes

Carson Palmer: 2 votes

This poll is probably skewed, however, thanks to the homer vote here at a Steelers blog, but whatever. I kind of put some thought into this because it kind of is a difficult question to answer. And in all honesty, I forget who I voted for back on day one.

I’m homer as well, though, so it was probably Ben.

Meanwhile, in real life, here’s how this standings look through four weeks of the regular season: Flacco – 8 TDs, Palmer – 6 TDs, Ben 5 TDs.

Yeah, not looking good so far. Keep your eyes open for a new poll soon. Peace.

A new poll

Saturday, September 12th, 2009

Since the first game is over, I figured it’d be a good time to switch the poll. The first question asked readers how many games they thought the Steelers would win this season. The results:

  1. 12-13 wins — 12 votes
  2. 11 wins — 5 votes
  3. 14-16 wins — 3 votes
  4. 8-10 wins — 0 votes
  5. 0-7 wins — 0 votes

Seems the majority of you are pretty optimistic. I went with 11, but I hope you are all right, homers. 1-0 is a good start.

Check the new poll to the side. With the garbage performance of the o-line and every running back that touched the ball, thought it’d be interesting to see how you feel about it this early. I’ll do a results post in another week or so.
