I miss Bruce

[feltdizz]

I really do.

I really do.

What could Bruce have done with this offense? As far as i can tell, he had way more talent than Haley has right now.

OL was worse... we didnt have way more talent. BA just put those guys in a better position to show their talent.

You otta miss Charlie Batch. He lead the last meaningful win for this team.

sorry dizz, but eff BA. I hated him and am glad he's gone. Yes we won with him so there's a comfort level, but I think his philosophy would have shortened BB's career. Plus, IDK the stats but his red zone efficiency wasn't much better. I was a big supporter of Haley but he has lost his fire it seems. Just let loose once and a while and provide a spark to the offense. Even if its out of spite.

Hate him all you want but he is still better than Haley.

I need a couple of years to judge, sorry. I agree though, Haley hasn't showed much yet.

As opposed to the 80 sack season that Ben is on pace for right now? It's unfortunate that Bruce Arians was escorted out of town, he was the OC the last time the offense was even close to NFL caliber.

If many people would just get over their hate for him for whatever reason and look at the offense I think they would see that he was capable of putting Ben in a position to succeed and that is the most important thing a Steeler OC can do. Last year and early this year Haley isn't putting Ben in a good position. It's early, we shall see soon enough.

NFL caliber is spot on... BA definitely had some WTF games but teams feared our big play offense. Not anymore...

Sorry, but no. Last year it was Haley's first, this year it is a brand new blocking scheme. BA more or less carried on the same offense each season. For as great a coach people like to say BA is, many of the wins by Indy were by Luck. And Luck only completed 54% of his passes at less than 7 yds/completion. Plus I believe he was hit more than any other QB last season. BA is a QB killer.
