OK..so in the last two meaningful games the Steelers have played Mendenhall has been hit hard and fumbled.
Cool.[/quotenphyb6s]
True. But why can't you admit that similarly, in the last two meaningful games the Steelers have played Ben played poorly too.
I agree with you Mendenhall's fault on the fumble.
But using your "its everybody's fault but Ben" logic the fumble would be the lines fault for allowing Ngata to penetrate so quickly.[/quotenphyb6s]
Maui where did I ever say Ben didnt play well?? Saying that the majority of yesterdays loss falls on the Steelers defense isnt saying that Ben played well.
I think maybe you should re-read what I have written??
Let me me say it loud and clear Ben did not play well yesterday. Perspective is saying that all his picks occurred after the scores was 21-7.[/quotenphyb6s]
Correct, and thank you for clarifying, but true "perspective" knows that Ben's fumble contributed directly to the 21-7.....oh wait, you addressed that fumble. YOU BLAMED IT ON THE LINE!
I said the above before EVEN KNOWING that YOU LITERALLY USED the "lines fault for the fumble" logic to defend Ben that I describe above.
Nearly all facets of the game contributed to the loss. No need to shield anyone from blame.[/quotenphyb6s]
I dont think I am shielding anyone for their bad play. But I see a bigger picture. I stand by my statement that Ben's fumble should be more on the O-line for giving up the sack/hit that resulted in that fumble. It wasnt like Ben was running down the field with the football. He was in the pocketing looking down the field.
And I agree....all facets of the game contributed to the loss yesterday.
