Todd Haley

Haha now Ben doesn't look at plays or anything on the sideline, I've heard it all.
That's damn good, not looking at plays for 12 years and his completion % is better career wise than Brady.

For everyone bitching about Ben, if AB and Eli catch those TDs, Ben is the highest rated QB among all 8 in the divisional round.
 
If the Niners don't have a new head coach by the end of this week, I'm going to start worrying. Reports say they are "waiting" for the right man.

Hope it ain't Haley.

Is Todd dumb enough to get into that shithole place????? I don't think it's Todd they are waiting for and if so, Todd turns it down.


Bell converts a 3rd and 9 on a ******* run! Ummm give him the ball Ben.

Take your ego and your 22 QBR out of it. Bell is the guy, he needs the ball. EIther hand it to him, or get him into space and throw him the ball.

I also would like to see ZERO empty back sets with 3 or less yards to go. Also, on the goalline, how about we get AB in motion before a freakin snap, if you want to go to him. They can't cover him across the field. Just like Hill on his first TD. Moneyball!

I agree the empty back field is showing the "D" your hand. Also I was wondering the same thing on why AB never is put into motion??? I can only hope they do some of these things next week. I think we show up with ONE HELL OF A GAME PLAN.

I did 100 times already

Ben wants to be hero, Ben's swollen head checked into whole baggage on flight, Ben benched because helmet could not be worn over ginormous swollen head

This was not the game for heroics, just hand the ball off against the worst run defense in the playoffs

Wisdoms spike, wisdom !!!!!!!!!!!!!



Salute the nation
 
My main problem was not mixing it up. When Bell started slowing down we still constantly ran ran ran. When Bell was gashing them we needed the play action pass. I would bet anything at least JJ would have been wide open. Also that 3rd and 2 where we went 5 WR. I can not stand that. I am fine with run or pass, but at least give the D something to think about. This offense has the capabilities to be one of the most balanced and dangerous in the league, but they never seem to get the mix right I dont care how the Pats look it is foolish to underestimate them especially since they have owned us. Haley will need to call the game of his life.
 
I'm so tired of this narrative. Tell Antonio and Eli to hang onto the ******* passes that hit them in the hands.

I'm tired of it too. FN run Bell 2-3 times inside the 10 yard line behind our powerful offensive line. The coach in me says we'll score more touchdowns if we do.

Duh.
 
The first series where the Steelers had the ball at the 12, Bell rushes for 8 down to the 4, making it 2nd and 2 from the 4 ...

Bell just gashed the Chiefs for 8. Give it to him 2 more times, and I feel pretty confident it's 7-0 Steelers.

Then, 1st and goal from the 5 ... I don't mind passing on 1st down there. I don't. However, MAKE IT A PLAY ACTION ROLL OUT WHERE BEN EITHER HAS JAMES WIDE OPEN FOR THE TD OR THROWS IT AWAY.

Ben audibled to a back-shoulder throw to AB, who was absolutely blanketed on the play, and the pass winds up being batted into the air. Not good.

That pass was batted because he checked into the throw. Villanueva went to run block instead of pass block otherwise he puts a hand on the defensive player and there isn't a clean jump to tip the ball.
 
Todd Haley will have the perfect game plan... once the offense is in between the 45 and 20 yard lines, we'll look to hit Hamilton, James, or AB in the end zone. But in the red zone it'll be power football a la Bills game.

I think the game lies in the hands of Keith Butler vs. Josh McDaniels! This is the match up that needs the most focus and attention. What can Butler do to keep McDaniels on HIS toes instead of vice versa?

The Pats offensive Achilles is right up the middle. Their guard play is average at best....if the Steelers can press the WRs at the line and get any sort of pressure from the DT or inside rush it might make a long day for the Pats. The Steelers have to find a way to hit Brady hard early....it's that important.

Actually it looks like Al is pass blocking, if he were run blocking he wouldve initiated contact, instead he takes a few steps back like he's expecting a pass rush

I leave that to my girl Kay Adams

she just said Ben's injury report should include Homesickness for Heinz Field - the symptoms are poor decision making and an allergy to the endzone on the road - pow!
 
I wonder if we'll see anything new. Maybe they have a wrinkle that hasn't been on tilm (knowing how good the Patriots are with film study).
 
AB and Rogers catch the passes in the end zone that hit the right in the hands, Ben finishes the weekend as the highest rated qb with the highest comp%, not Brady or Rodgers or Ryan, so yeah Ben was horrible, he needs to throw it, then run to his WR's and tape the ball in their hands
 
The "best" wr in football has what, 5 drops in two playoff games.
 
Strong defense and score 30 on 10 Boz field goals.

Maybe Coates will actually play WR this week
 
Haha Fuzzy, they tried that in 04, Steelers installed plays never ran under Cowher before the 04 AFCCG, an they still knew the play some how

oh ****, there's two examples of something he has never done in 12 years...

hey you know what. I'm wrong. I just never seen it happening. And I didn't google pics for it.

I just didn't see it happening last game and when they cut to the chiefs sideline that's what was being shown.

Part of that was because Smith and the O were getting their ***** handed to them
