He shouldnt of had to dive for the ball..it was overthrown..kid had to attempt a diving spectacular catch when he was wide open..
It's about time...
- Thread starter wig
- Start date
He had a chance at a big play, and couldn't hold on. He's underperforming, and not getting open on his breaks. Had 2 more tosses toward him batted down by defenders. His standard is not the standard...

Ben missed two HUGE throws... that's on him. I'll take those more than not. Didn't happen today, but what I saw, they can beat anyone.

Grimble gave away seven points because he didn't protect the ball, and got smacked by an effing DB. Hate is a bit much, but that fool should have been picking splinters out of his *** the rest of the game after that.
I note that Switzer was playing a lot of WR today and not just returning punts.
Lmao, of course when you want to bash Ben on a perfectly thrown ball, that both commentators said was a catchable ball WITHOUT diving. But that doesn’t fit your narrative that Ben sucks now does it. Notice you haven’t been around much when Ben beat Carolina it had the come back last weekend.
Haha are you kidding? A spectacular catch? Go back and look at the replay. He didn't dive and extend for the ball, he jumped up, not out. That was an embarrassment.
If he performs the basic principle of carrying the ball in the outside hand, he scores easily. Instead he kept the ball on the same side as the defender and it cost him. Hopefully his last year on the team.
I dont argue here anymore..it was overthrown just like the one to JuJu..never said Ben sucks. I just hold him to a very high standard since he is one of the few Franchise QBs.
LMAO, make a spectacular catch? That ball was perfectly thrown, no need to jump or dive, the commentators both said as much, everyone in Pittsburgh media is saying it, I have heard no one say it was over thrown.

Just watched it again you guys are right not as bad as the first juju pass he could of ran thru it. Look like he over thought it. They have a good gif of it over at Depot..
JW is so use to high-pointing 50/50 jump balls from college he does it now even when uncovered. It's all he knows.
I think Washington is over thinking everything instead of just playing, squeezing the bat to tight if you will.

As a receiver, I understand why Washington left his feet. But he got both hands on the ball, so it needs to be caught.
Still waiting for him to make his first downfield catch. He is currently behind Limas Sweed in that department at this point in his career.

I think he usually has good hands, not sure what is going on with him. The move to get wide open was attractive. But yeah you have to catch that.
Is he thinking too much?

It looked to me like he had to lay out to make a play on that ball.... I could be wrong
I just watched the video of that play.... I was wrong... should’ve been 6.

Thank god we don't make decisions for this team. Washington has 8 catches for the season. I believe that is more than Brown or ward had their rookie seasons at this point. Brown ended with 16 catches his rookie year and ward had 15.
When the only thing that you can remember are his bad plays, it means his other 8 were probably nothing to write home about. Secondly, Neither Brown nor Ward were picked in the second round and expected to be impact players their rookie seasons.

There's always a random scapegoat around here who isn't really a top contributor. He seems to be becoming that guy for whatever reason. I'm more worried about our starting RB having the yips holding onto the ball. I'm worried about our franchise QB making bone head decisions at the end of the game. I'm worried about our coaches not giving Conner one carry inside the 3? That kid is so far down the list of what our issues are I find it laughable that anyone even mentions him. Give me a break already. Our 4th receiving option at best on this roster? It's one loss because of turnovers. Pump the brakes people, and step away from the ledge.
It's not about who to blame, or anyone blaming him for the loss, it's about what we need to make a deep run this year, and a dependable#3 WR is one of those.
Switzer is not a legit #3 WR. AB is doubled alot, get a #3 wr that actually does something and it gets harder to double AB as much.
