Share this: The Pittsburgh Steelers have been a disappointment so far this season, to say the least. A trendy preseason Super Bowl pick, the Steelers lost their fourth consecutive game Sunday afternoon to the Dallas Cowboys, and they currently are 4-5 and looking up at the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC North standings. There’s no one person to blame for such a losing streak, but quarterback Ben Roethlisberger pointed the finger at the team’s collective make-up when talking to reporters after Sunday’s defeat. “We are undisciplined and not accountable,” Roethlisberger said, per ESPN.com. “That’s why (the Cowboys) are one of the best in the business and we’re not right now.” It’s an unfamiliar identity for a team that’s usually a top contender, and Roethlisberger wasn’t sure how it

Marquez: “Good to save myself for Sunday”
Marc Marquez (P1): “In the morning I didn’t feel very well - I’ve had gastroenteritis for the last two days - but I was able to go out and ride even though I was not at 100%.

We tested different set-ups in the morning's warm-up but it did not work; I was far off and on the limit. We stepped back to what we had yesterday during the couple of minutes when the track was dry and it was great. My start was really good, I tried to get away, maintaining my pace but Pasini and then Morbidelli managed to stay with me. Each time I crossed the line I saw that the gap was very small, 1 tenth, 1
Dovizioso: “I decided to not go crazy!”
Andrea Dovizioso (P2): “I started quite well and Valentino didn’t, but we went for the same bit of track and I lost some positions. I decided not to push 100% then and not be crazy, because I saw Marc and Valentino had more speed than me – then after Valentino crashed I tried to push and catch Lorenzo. He didn’t seem 100% after his crash, he wasn’t riding like normal, but he was still so fast. I tried to catch him without pushing too hard and risking too much, and then I decided with five to go that I would overtake him – but he made a mistake. Then I saw on the pit board that Maverick was close and
