He was targeted five times, and had to have had at least three drops, if not four. It’s hard to trust the guy, and I can’t blame Ben one iota for not looking his way more.

A couple of those Ben INTs went off of Steelers players hands.. can’t fault him for that.
Brown didn’t look so good the first half either.
AV had his lunch eaten by Garret.
Conner was awesome, but I would have liked to see Samuels and Ridley get some touches to keep legs fresh.

One - the one off James' hands. The other 3 were the result of horrible throws (2) and him holding the ball waaaaay too long (1).
Garrett beat Villanueva once. The other sack occurred when Ben held the ******* ball ALL ******* DAY. The pass protection was amazingly good. The run blocking was quite good.
The issues were the endless turnovers.
That might be my biggest gripe with coaching throughout that whole shitfest. Conner was winded and I think that attributed to his getting lazy with the ball, and then bam, the fumble. They absolutely should have rotated Ridley and Samuels in to keep him fresh, but part of me wonders if they wanted Conner to have monster statistics as the workhorse as a kind of '**** you' to Le’Veon Bell. I don't know, could be reading into **** that just isn't so. I do know that changed the game as far as the play calling seemed to go though.
They went completely turtle after that fumble and it really changed the complexion of the game IMO. Not taking anything away from Conner b/c the young man had a great day, I blame it more on the coaching. Hopefully they learn a lot from this.
Then they should have inserted Washington into the game to see if that would have made a spark. The guy at least knows how to catch the ball.
As a white guy, I take total responsibility for this as I did not make chili nor did I wear my Bettis jersey until if was too late and we were in OT. Frankly I did not think it necessary to wear my jersey today nor make chili and that's where I let us down. I will vow to do better next week.
I'm certainly not downplaying it. That is probably the biggest reason we lost/tied this game. Tomlin is living in his fears. Ben only played a couple series in the pre-season and not a single snap with AB. That is just inexcusable.
Eh it was an ugly game. I'm over it.
The guys need to show urgency.
Just so damn disturbing that this is a regualr trend the past 7 or so years.
I think aside from the 2010 the season. Tomlin and company have had some shaky starts.
Paired off with an aging QB. The window is shutting fast.

True. But with the fumble and being off on his throws, and the two Ints that were clearly his fault. He needs to play a whole helluva lot better very quickly. Which I think he will rebound.
And it won't hurt being at home........
The snap was definitely high and Berry got it down. Berry’s punting was horrible.

It was a terrible throw. Looked like a punt. @#$%ing ball was in the air so long I thought that the DB was going to call a fair catch.
Not saying he played well, but AB never takes **** for running wrong routes, he did that twice today. The first int was just a dumb throw, no question. There were only 3 INTs

You have the best wr in football, you have one on one you throw him the ball. AB ran the wrong way, if he runs the go route, he may have position on the DB, we'll never know because he ran the wrong route

AB is fighting back from injury though, so I can understand his off and ons. He had a reason for his rust........
My concern is we don't have a legit #3 option in the passing game.

They didnt really played ben and Washington together in preseason and man did it show ben looked like he didn’t even know washington was suited the *** up and on the field
I don't think Washington played a down, SMM.
Coty was inactive. They had to adjust on the fly with Haden going down.
Watt agrees with you...
Um, they didn't lose?
Only on special teams, and nearly ****** that up by being caught too far back on punt return. Luckily, the ball didn't hit him.
