    establishing a rushing game is not a waste of Ben's talent any more than it was a waste of John Elway's talent to have Terrell Davis providing a running threat.

    What Actually Happened: Lamar Jackson became the youngest two-time NFL MVP winner ever.

    Establishing a running game doesn't waste a QB's talent, but handcuffing him until the 4th quarter when you need him to bail the team out does waste his talents.

    If other teams can routinely score three play touchdowns you will lose regardless of how you play offense. That is a defense problem.

    In view of the fact that Mike Tomlin has matched Cowhers record I give him the designation:

    Funny how THIS EXACT strategy got Flacco a ring AND entry into the Big BUCKS CLUB of QBs. Yeah, THAT Superbowl run was a "waste of the QBs talents".
    But throwing 40 times to pad Ben's fantasy football numbers is more important that winning rings right?

    And handcuffing the QB until the 4th quarter is considered a winning formula?
    Hey, trying to relive the 70's is more important than winning rings, right?

    No need to go back to the 70s.....
    I am just trying to "relive" the kind of balance that history has shown ALWAYS results in winning seasons for Ben.

    3 play TD drives arent routine...

    I would just like to see some points to go along with this time of possession trophy.

    Yes, in a meaningless preseason game with OTs who are struggling to protect Ben as it is, lets call slower developing plays that make Ben hold the ball EVEN LONGER. We need to make sure he can take the punishment before the season starts.

Hopefully they've got a plan to get that better this year.
    a bad OL combined with a RB who like to spin instead of hitting a jole will do that.

    combine that with 'midget' type receivers who dont really have a physical mismatch against their DB counterparts and its no wonder why it struggled

    Your original scenario WAS that we scored a TD, followed by a quick TD by the opponent. We DID score. THAT was the basis of my reply.

    Your comment here I can agree with completely. We need to end drive with scores.

    This team scored more points:
    1. Ben's first two years under BC.
    Ben went 13-0 in year one with Ben throwing more than 25 times ONCE. THAT team SCORED more than we have seen lately.
    Crash's problem is that he equates letting Ben loose with scoring.
    We have done that and SCORED LESS. AND hurt our defense for not controling the ball.

    Highest scoring seasons with Ben.

    2007- First year under BA offense, ONLY TIME he called run more than pass.
    2005- Ben's second season- Lowest pass attempts as a game one starter.
