Now that is a game recap. :)

I had to bookmark that for the future.

True dat. true dat.

Sadly, there's a lot of truth in that article.

I like that the Wally name is catching on.

I thought it was spot on. Particuarly, this:

"And therein lies the problem with then Todd GayLey offense. It’s not much different, AT ALL, from the Arians offense. This ****bag offense still relies almost exclusively on Ben improvising, out of his ass, in (and out of) the pocket, along with a vast array of incoherent, grab-bag plays"

There is a lot of focus on this board about Arians vs. Haley and Ben v. Haley and an outdated focus on the running game, etc. But from my couch, I've seen us win despite both Arians and Haley due largely to Ben's unique talents. The jury is still out on Haley and the fumbling and injuries have really hurt this team so he deserves more time before a definitive judgment can be made.

But so far the offense still has this disjointed ad hoc quality to it that it had under Arians. Too often, it seems like we are dialing up random plays like a stoned kid playing Madden instead of following a solid game plan and choosing plays appropriate for the scoreboard and down and distance. Just my take.

My favorite nicknames:

Socrates Mendenhall

Mike Wallace - The Clanger

Some good descriptions:

Keisel – tried a new tackling technique, whereby he used NEITHER arm

Foote - on an early 3d & 1, Foote literally got 1-handed SHOVED by DeMarco Murray for 6 (SIX) yards – as Foote just backpedaled and offered no resistance -- on an 8 yard gain. For anyone but a Steeler fan, this play was as laughable as it gets in the NFL.

Victorian - I guess we should grudgingly give Vickie some credit. He can’t tackle and he can’t cover, yet he’s been able to fool enough NFL “experts” into giving him a $20K per week paycheck to do a job he’s incapable of doing. Brilliant.

On the INT in OT, The Clanger just STOOD THERE, and WATCHED the DB land on the ground and then get up, WITH THE BALL.

Said that in the chat and on here. Who the hell just sits there and watches the guy land with the ball, then get up and run? WTH?!?!

[DukieBoy]

I was thinking "Victimian" after that game.

I thought the description of Keisel's new tackling technique was brilliant humor.

[pittpete]

While reading this at work today I couldnt stop cracking up.
Inside I was crying, but outside I was laughing.

[RuthlessBurgher]

Sorry...didn't think it was funny at all. Thought that guy came off as an annoying whiny pre-pubescent punk more than anything. Can't imagine watching a game with someone like that.

Socrates Mendenhall....:shock:....:lol:

[FOOOOOOORE!]

Haley's a clown, nothing more than an unqualified, hen-pecked, submissive, Rooney ass-kissing puppet.

His play-calling and logic make Arians look like Einstein. Fade patterns to Mike Wallace and 30 yard bombs to fullbacks with Byron Leftwich? Red zone running back screens with backup running backs? Are you kidding me?

Don't blame OL injuries either. Arians dealt with them too. And his run game wasn't nearly this bad. Nor this predictable.

Hey diddle diddle, another Steelers running back up the middle!

This can't continue. In 2013 it's either Haley or Ben who has to go.

You can't waste Ben's talent in this offense anymore. You can't take the premier deep thrower in the NFL and turn him into Trent freaking Dilfer at a $20 million cap hit (or an extension) the next 3 seasons. You can't shortchange his talent, nor the offense with this square peg round hole garbage. You either use Ben, build around Ben, appreciate Ben.

If Art won't? Do him a favor and send him on his way to a team that will.

All this for what? LeBeau's outdated scheme still does not create turnovers, not get enough sacks, and not make enough big plays, and blows six 4th quarter leads in 14 games anyway.

Their ranking means squat. The offense keeping them off the field inflates their ranking. People can't deny this anymore.

Arians isn't here, the same problems on defense remain and Yinzers can't blame him anymore.

So now what? When do LeBeau's problems become LeBeau's responsibility?

Art II should be ashamed of himself. He wanted this crap, he made his bed, now he can lie in it.

But don't mind me, I'm not here to crash the party.

Better get those tee times ready, unless Haley/Rooney get their heads out of each others asses real quick, that's where they will be 2 weeks from now.

PS....I seem to remember someone here saying Pouncey would play well at guard. Funny, the last game we won? Was the last game he didn't start at center for this team.

Real subtle. Up until this point, none of us had any idea who this was. :roll:
