That's why they're called
casual observers.

More blind-eyed rationalizations.
You praise Roethlisberger's presence of mind for staying behind the line of scrimmage, and you conveniently ignore the fact that he narrowly avoided a sack, then benefitted from Grant Wistrom simply falling down as he pursued the QB out of the pocket.
The underhanded shovel pass to Hines Ward was another example of a fluke play that happened to go the Steelers' way.
Yeah, clearly they draw up offensive plays that involve poor pass protection, mad scrambles, and clumsy defenders.

And you're conveniently attempting to position sack avoidance as a non-skill based event.
Heady mobile Quarterbacks have the ability to make something out of broken plays consistently.
Tarkington had it. Stabler had it. Elway had it. Young had it. McNair had it. Favre had it. And Roethlisberger has it.
It's part of a QB's skill set.

And I don't even have to mention the luck they experienced on defense thanks to the officials. See the previous 1000 posts on this thread.

1,000 bitter posts are just 1,000 bitter posts. Nothing more.
