I agree. Teams that have QB's like Ben, Manning, ect and a defense that can play like the Jets will be in most games.Originally Posted by papillon

It is very important to assign blame to only one unit because....?
Even if Bill Belichick was getting an atomic wedgie, his face would look exactly the same.
You make it sound like all those wins and the Lombardi trophy were because of BA. No. The only reason we had those wins for the longest time was because we had the defense to bail us out, until last season, as well as Big Ben's knack for big plays. Even in 2009, the offense still had significant problems. Oh, Ben passed for 4,000 yards. Yay.Originally Posted by feltdizz
Oh sure, Arians has called some good games. But even a broken clock is right twice a day. Having a few good games called doesn't make up for the fact that he outright stinks most of the time. Need I remind you Arians couldn't put up more than 6 points against Cleveland this season. CLEVELAND. And what about his loss to Jacksonville that bumped us out of the 07 playoffs? Or his Pathetic loss to Philadelphia? Or how we only mustered 17 points in regulation against KC? Where are your excuses for that? Where is your Arians praise for that?
Regardless of what you may think, BA's offense has consistently underperformed in every year he's been here, and cost us several games. Ben was already an effective QB before Arians' arrival. He doesn't owe any of his success to Arians. The only reason Arians isn't out of a job now is because the players themselves have made him look good at times.
And honestly, screw you. I'll criticize the team or Arians if I want to. Don't tell me I should root for a different team just because I'm not satisfied with your beloved OC. Kindly go screw yourself.
I'm not a BA fan... I'm a Steeler fan. I just think it makes zero sense to keep complaining about BA...
Here's a thought on the Ben was already great theory... Ben likes BA. Holmes said he likes BA. Tomlin retained him. I find it funny how everyone who wants BA to hit the road talks about Ben like he is stuck with BA.
Go ahead and bang your head against the BA wall... even the guy who said he was going to count the days to BA getting on with his lifes work gave up 6 days in.
I lost a bet about Najee gaining 1300 yards.
"Our head coach has failed to win a playoff game for seven years in a row. His game day strategy, culture of divas, in game decisions, clock management, player evaluation, hires, and affinity with sub par starters at RB, P, and OL are holding the Steelers back. That standard remains the standard"

Are you really going to bring up the Jacksonville game? We marched right down the field with scripted plays and the ST's gave it right back. Ben had 3 first half INT's... Najeh Davenport was our RB and we still had the lead late. Guess who missed another easy tackle late in the game? Tyrone freaking Carter!
Not blaming Carter for the loss but I find it hilarious you would bring up Tomlins first year and BA's first year as proof of failure. That season was successful in the grand scheme of things. Most fans understand playoff wins are hard to come by although Steeler fans think it is written in scripture.
You also do a good job of pointing out 2 terrible losses in 3 years... clearly it is a sign all is lost. Like you said.. even a broken clock is right twice a day.

WHO CARES!
It doesn't matter at this point who was to blame or whose fault it is. What's done is done. All that we should be talking about at this point is what areas does this team need to address in the offseason and move on.

I'm not saying Arians alone is to blame. I'm just pointing out to the BA apologists the futility of their ways. :POriginally Posted by Steeler Mafia
As for the second part, that's technically what we're doing.
