    Roethlisberger back to old Habits?

    Didn't see the game and would like comment from those that did; a poster at another site was at the game and claimed Bell was wide open most of the day for checkdowns but Roethlisberger rarely looked his way, but instead kept eyes down field. Last season he learned to use Bell that way.

    In a game where OL protection was apparently sketchy, wouldn't it make sense to take the outlet pass and try to slow the rush? Did Fisher see something in the first two games?

    I think the problem is Ben started hot...

    the OL gave him good protection on the first few drives but then the Rams ramped up the pressure and we never adjusted.

    The Rams DL is onw of the best and it looked like we didnt believe the reports
    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"

    Steelers abandoned the quick passes they used early to negate the Rams dominating line. And it likely cost them the season.

    Ben was 20 of 24 for 192 yards.

    Does that sound like a lot of random throwing downfield?

    Both Skyhawk and feltdizz seem to be hitting sense on the subject. The gameplan should have been quick passes and screens all game long. I get that going downfield is enticing to this offense and could have been used sparingly. However the d-line of the rams was all over us and could have been counter acted with the quick game and screen game. Oh well though, lets just hope ben is only down 4-6 game (adam shefter report) and Vick and Co. can win us 4-5 games....

    Bell had seven receptions today. Last year he averaged about 5.3 catches per game.

    Just my personal opinion, but what does it matter, now that Ben being out/injured and all?


    We got our "6-PACK" - time to work on a CASE!

    HERE WE GO STEELERS, HERE WE GO!

    The game plan was fine, Ben was doing the same thing he does every game. O-line protection was not sketchy, and Bens injury wasn't the result of bad o-line play.

    Love talking Steeler football with people that don't watch the games

    O-line play was a little sketchy IMO..
    If Brady was hit like Ben was, intentional or not there would've been flags all over the FN place.
