Is it Haley, Art Rooeny or Mike Tomlin

In Ben's defense, please (if you can re-watch this game) watch Mike Adams "block" Johnson. And tell me how you'd feel under that pressure.

What Mike Adams used on Johnson shoud not be called blocking.

Correct... but why wasn't Starks brought back. Move Adams to RT. He's been overmatched since preseason and Tomlin is to stubborn to bring Max back and hurt his pride.

Johnson was getting his hands inside into Adams chest he could have been charged with felony serial groping.

Calling the offensive plays. This is just pathetic. Our offense doesnt look exciting one bit. Big Steeler fan here win or lose but I am extremely frusturated with the offense and offensive playcalling.

I think it's all three in this sequence

Rooney wanted BA gone
Tomlin fire BA
Rooney then suggest Haley

Tomlin hire Haley

Haley stinks

Tomlin don't have the guts to fire him.

Regarding Max....You have got to just drop that as an argument.

In my humble opinion it is simply too obvious that Roethlisberger and Haley aren't on the same page. Roethlisberger isn'T feeling Haleys approach to the game, nor do they like themselves on a human relationship level. They are just too strong characters who have different approaches to football, as well as to off the field behavior. This has the inevitable consequence that Ben can't bring his A-Game. Simply not possible if you don't trust your OC. One of them has to go, and of course this can only be Haley,

YES!!! Been preaching it all stinking year. Even if Max isn't the long term answer, he may be enough of an upgrade to keep Ben out of the hospital... or a career ending injury.

The most glaring example of this was after Ben hit Paulson for the big gain and knew he needed to get to the line and run a play before the challenge flag and Haley made him slow down to call a play. Tomlin should have taken the headset right there and asked him to leave. You have a quarterback that doesn't need to be babysat and that's what Haley is trying to do and Ben doesn't like it because he's a grown man and I don't blame him one bit.

I agree 100%; however, the reality of last night's game is that for a quarterback with Ben's experience and skill set he actually did have enough time. Ben was off his game last night, a lot of passes sailed high, he's fortunate that he didn't have more than one interception.
