6-3 and Zero Faith

[Flasteel]

No pass coverage
No pass rush
Offensive line injuries
Defensive line injuries
Dick LeBeau can't adjust
BA has no clue
Jeff Reed suddenly sucks as a FG kicker
Troy Polamalu has been invisible since week 2
Ben Roethlisberger can't seem to get untracked

Yes, a lot of this is venting after such a putrid loss, but these are very real concerns moving forward. I say we will be lucky to get 10 wins this season. That may not be enought to make the post season. We just suck right now.

Re: 6-3 and Zero Faith

The sticks are moving quite effectively now that Ben's running the no-huddle... wonder when this will become a permanent part of the offense?

Doesn't matter. WR's are azzz. They have to make plays early. We player horrible and still had a few chances to make a game of it.

I know everyone wants the youngsters to play but we keep
seeing young mistakes from them. This is a very bad 6-3 team right now.

I'm not saying we stink but it's getting real old watching us win ugly and lose uglier.

When everything is so bad, Mike Tomlin has to be accountable.

How about we hire Gruden?

When BA realizes that it is better to play your best ball up front.

Or never while BA is here.

Re: 6-3 and Zero Faith

BA is doing what he was told.

Run the ball.

Yoi.

Hmm Ha!

-2, that's puts us back at a zero sum game. The season didn't end tonight, the Steelers got beat by a team that owns them, this is not new and neither is the fashion in which they lost. The good news is that there is another game this Sunday and the Steelers get a chance to try and fix what's broken.

It was an ugly loss; however, I thought Ben actually played well except for the first couple drives. The young receivers are learning and hopefully, they learn quickly. Except for the missed hot read in the end zone Sanders looked good and Wallace caught deep ones and made some nice intermediate catches, he's going to be the go to guy very soon.

I typically defend BA, but this week was bad, bad, bad I really believed that the first couple series last night would be all Ben, all the time particularly after Brady marched them down the field for a TD, but it was not to be.

Bad night, few shining moments, but it's better than not being able to watch Steeler football.

LeBeau can go with him too. He is so in love with his creation he is incapable of making the necessary changes to improve it. I guess it is true that no one thinks their baby is ugly!!!!

Re: 6-3 and Zero Faith

Disappointing start on offense, in the extreme.

Didn't see any 3rd-and-longs or 3-and-outs by the Pats. On 1st Downs, the Pats took what the Steelers were willing to give, and had so many 2nd and shorts that they hardly needed a 3rd down play last night. Brady was masterful, their strategies were spot-on, and their team executed well - each and every player. Hard to not admire that, except ...

Our difficulty with the Brady and Brees type of QB (not the Mannings and Rivers QB's) is our achilles. If we don't fix it, we'll turn Sanchez and McCoy into Brady and Brees.

Re: 6-3 and Zero Faith

Unless there are changes coming the Steelers are in big trouble come playoff time, or anytime they face a good QB. Teams are not even trying to run the ball or disguise the fact they plan to throw non-stop. Line up and throw it 40 times (Brees - 44 attempts, Brady - 43 attempts).

In a game filled with frustration; I think the most frustrating was watching Brady sit back with all the time in the world all night vs. Ben having Patriots in his face immediately on almost every throw.

I hope this isn't the point in the season where we unleash hell...
