Steelers passing game:

They lead the league in +40 yard pass receptions with 9.



Seeing how I am touching on stats:

Passing O is 7th, 11th overall.
Total points is 14th.
TOP (time of possession) 3rd.
19th in TDs

Big Ben is 4th in yardage. But predictably because of that 5 INT game he comes in at 28th for a passer rating.
He is tied for 15th for TDs with 10.

Total D rating is 4th
2nd in passing down 1 notch from last week due to Detroit yardage given up.
Rush defense is 16th but I think that is mostly due to a rough early start.
3rd in sacks.

Bell slipped to 2nd in yardage with Kareem Hunt 3 yards ahead.
AB is still in first (pass catching yardage total)with a 200 yard lead on the next man.

Shazier is second in total tackles, one behind Mosley for the rats.
 
And yet most here would like to think Ben sucks ***.

He had a bad game. Admittedly a really really bad game. But overall he's still one of the best in the game. If Bryant gets his competitive mojo on and Brown and JuJu get themselves on a mission the B's are going to be fun to watch. (I can get behind JuJu as the "Bicyclist"... ya, it's a stretch...)

Bicyclist works for me, he has earned a B !
 
We need a #2 Target to be consistent, and then I think Bell will start catching more out of the backfield as well.
Our offense just seems snake bitten or unlucky. Wide open guys drop TDs or the pass is inches off, or penalties wipe out big plays and TDs, plays like the crap int they called in Baltimore when AB caught it and was down

Yep, if he had a normal game Sunday, he'd have passed him I think, but I'm guessing Dickerson didn't have nearly the number of receiving yards Bell did, I could be wrong

In 88 he had 377 yards pass catching his best year.

Bell almost tripled that already. So yeah his was on the ground the majority.

In fact Bell already has more yards receiving than Eric had his entire career.
