The (Indian) Elephant in the room.

Come on Ben has just come off a terrible operation and rehab. Hell he brought the team back yesterday again. He has a lot of new receivers and did anyone see how well Dallas coverage is compared to ours. Steelers have to throw long once and a while yesterday did not work but of the first to Claypool he should of caught that one. Give the HOF QB a break maybe need to read prior comment on Rudolph
 
You want to know why Ben didn't look accurate yesterday? He was playing on one freaking leg! Holy **** people, this is something, none of the other great passers have ever done. Finish a series with a TD, when he couldn't freakiin walk, then come out with a robotic leg and playing pocket passer all second half. He coudn't step into throws like he usually can. I'm just hoping this doesn't become a nagging season long injury.

I also won't be surprised if he doesn't play this weekend. It comes down to swelling and severity of damage.
 
He had a deep ball to DJ into double coverage.

Where he needs to focus is the middle of the field. They have no answer for all of our weapons when we spread the defense out.

We also need a god damned running game worth a **** so we have some level of a threat there.
 
The elephants in the room are:

1). The play calling.
When Ben takes over, we start clicking.

2). The run game (we have none).
We can't run the ball for ****. And WHY do we always telegraph the play with an empty backfield. Drives me nuts.

Actually, Ben was more accurate and much more efficient AFTER his injury.

Before: 10-15 for 70 yards, 0 TD -- 77.1 rating
After: 19-27 for for 236 yards, 3 TD -- 134.1 rating
