No they aren't but just cause he is 34 or 35 doesn't mean he has lost it against the run. And again you are talking in hindsight everyone would of did things differently I'm sure
Anyone going to hold Ben accountable?

There were other audibles called in this game. I even said so in the plays I wrote out you could see Ben changing some plays
So you say you watched the entire game, then say you shut off the replay, but the quote above you say "No huddle the rest of the way I guess, I stopped watching" If you watched the entire game Sunday, you wouldn't be saying "No huddle, I guess" you would know they went alot of no huddle up pace offense. Just admit you turned the **** off.
Ummm, if you're using a steak knife to try to cut a piece of wood, how long before you realize, hmmm this isn't working to well, maybe I should try to use something else.
Are you effing serious??? I have never turned off a live Steelers game in my life. This was last nite after the punt I went to bed. I stopped rewinding and fast forwarding the replay to jot down down and distance and formation and all that other crap to show the Steelers weren't run run pass like others were saying. Did they immediately go no huddle after the punt block next series I didn't remember from Sunday and I wasn't staying up to see I have to get up at 5

Again in hindsight what if they had stayed patient and the running clicked then what? First you bitching cause they did went empty set and left Ben exposed bow you bitching cause they stayed with the run too long in a formation you don't like to help keep the shots on Ben to a minimum. Now you say that should of went no huddle and spread the field exposing Ben to hits..
Dude, come on I know you're smarter than this. going no huddle doesn't mean empty set.
You mean like when the running game clicked in Miami and we went away from that because it wasn't the game plan?

Lets cut to the chase. There are a few Tomlin fans boys here. While its none of my business why they like him, the posters who are big Tomlin fans like to blame Ben when the Steelers lose.
1 ) Ben should not have played or been pulled in this game. That's on Tomlin. His arm was not up to par, partly because he just had a knee injury.
2 ) Haley hamstrings the team's chances by calling three runs on 3rd down and 4 or more yards to go. WTF... And waiting forever to start slinging it? Why? We let the Ravens stay in the formation they wanted to be in when spreading them out would have made things easier, and made it better off for Bell. Does HAley even know what Play action is? Bell isn't a bad draw runner either when you spread them out.
3 ) I saw a few dropped passes
4 ) Davis' Forrest Gump Moment on the blocked punt that was returned for a touchdown was the difference in the score.
5 ) The Interception Ben threw was not his fault. DeCastro was pushed backward and the DL player got his hand in the air to deflect the ball.
6 ) Brown did little until garbage time. If you're the best WR in the game, you get open.
7 ) We had what, 12 penalties, none of which were on Ben.
8 ) When Pouncey went down, Finney clearly wasn't experienced enough at center to sub. The QB to center exchange had issues
9 ) Wallace took a pass 95 yards.
10 ) Berry had some bad punts. The onside kick was a joke.
So go ahead and blame Ben. There are other reasons why we lost.

We can't audible cause we on the road but we can go by huddle on the road which takes even more communication??

Inside are plays and breakdowns. Plays were there to be made and they were not made. Early in the game and thru out.
By Christopher Carter
Leaders lead, even when the path they put their followers on is one that leads to disaster. That’s what happened when the Steelers’ offense stalled for three and half quarters Sunday with Ben Roethlisberger back from knee surgery.
Roethlisberger is the captain of a team that has multiple elite players on offense and the capabilities to be the highest scoring unit in the NFL. However, that can only be achieved if he plays at the level expected of an elite quarterback with more than a decade of experience.
Many have rushed to criticize the coaching staff and held back criticisms of Roethlisberger’s poor performance due to his return from injury. This film review will go over why more of his mistakes appeared to be mental or from a lack of focus than from recovery from his injured leg.

So when we went to the offense Ben prefers, he threw for 188 yards in the 4th and we were right back in the game. You let your franchise qb dictate your offense, not the other teams offense, as Tomlin said. You like to say Ben has control over the game plan, but yet he says he thought they should've gotten away from that earlier clearly shows he doesn't have as much say as you think he does.
Now we don't run the offense Ben wants?? Were you able to review the link I just posted. If you can't see them I could pm you my login and password so you can would love to hear your thoughts on it

We didn't go to the offense he wanted as quick as he thought we should've so it's pretty clear he doesn't get what he wants when he wants it. I don't know if we are running the game plan he wants, do you know that we do run the offense he wants for a fact?
The game plan for this game was different yes because there was a chance Ben wouldn't play. Ben has stated that the intent for this game was to establish a running game whether he or Landry played. This game. But in all the other games Ben has started you don't think we have been a running a Offense that Ben wants to run???
So you FINALLY admit that the game plan vs the Ravens was different from previous weeks. More waffles than IHOP
I would assume Ben has alot of say in the game plan, but Ben loves the hurry up offense, how often do we see that?
SMH the game plan to stick with the run was different the other plays all the other pass plays that weren't executed are the same plays we have been running. Would you like to see them they are in the link posted
So the game plan has no bearing on how plays work out? The decision to stick with the non existent running game never allowed our QB to get into any rhythm until it was too late.
And who is the head coach or OC that has done NOTHING to adjust and fix the problem. Game plans have been our biggest downfall whether you fail to see it or not.

I can find stories that say Tomlin is at fault too...
Stories?? These are play breakdowns forget opinions these are Play breakdowns. Watch them
Plans have to be executed..and since we tried to run the ball the Oline deserves blame too..
And if it doesn't work for 3 quarters, why keep trying? Blame the OL or blame the idiot that keeps trying. Oh because Baltimore was not scoring we could afford to keep trying to plug a round peg into a square hole. But once they got the blocked punt then we had to change. Worst logic ever.
So your not going to watch the breakdowns. Maybe perhaps if those plays were made the running games opens up. Nah that's not a possibility
