Re: Fire BA

If Mewelde Moore doesn't fumble the ball into the end zone, this thread doesn't exist...

You all know that's true...

Why, because we would have scored 20 against KC with four turnovers handed to us?

You know that's false...

Re: Fire BA

BA has no ability to think on the fly and make an offensive adjustment and it shows in games, especially the 4th quarter where if we could just execute a few first downs, we could close out games in comfortable fashion.

It really comes down to this. I'm convinced that an upgrade at OC would be one of the most beneficial moves this team could make.

Mike Mularkey would do wonders with this talent. He had the 7th and 8th ranked scoring offenses here in 2001 and 2002.

First with Kordell, then with Tommy Gun.

That's impressive no matter how you slice it. Would love to see what he could do with this team.

Nonsense. I've been calling for BA to be fired for a long time. Regardless of Moore's fumble, BA's performance, as it is in most games, was below the line.

I never said that you didn't feel this way about Arians...

But, you wouldn't have started an all new thread on the topic if Mewelde Moore hadn't fumbled the ball into the end zone...

That's the truth...

actually... he probably would have started a thread. The OC is the whipping boy... I can't wait to get a new one so we can bash him too.

Re: Fire BA

In spite of the huge amount of talent on the O side of the ball, we rank 19th in the NFL in pts/gm (21.2). Who is behind us?

Offensive juggernauts like TEN (20.5), DEN (20.1), MIN (19.5).....

these are teams without freaking QBs!!!! ....

BTW, the last Steelers SB offense avg'd 22.7 pts/gm, but we had an all-time record defense to back that up.

I don't think 21 pts/gm gets us to the SB this season.

That's the truth...

If Moore hadn't fumbled on that drive, maybe the Steelers score a TD, likely they score a FG...their offensive output was STILL way below the line. Even if Moore hadn't fumbled at that point, the Steelers STILL would have ended up scoring 14-17 points LESS than they SHOULD have for the game. THAT'S the truth. Even if Moore hadn't fumbled, BA sucked. THAT'S the truth.

I still would have started a "Fire BA" thread. That's the TRUTH.

Re: Fire BA

Let me ask anyone that cares to answer:

How many times have we heard the words "novel play" or "well designed" and "Bruce Arians" in the same sentence??

I'm sorry but what sucked about BA last game? The drop by Wallace in the endzone? The deep drop by Wallace? The fumble by Moore? The no look INT by Ben? Mendenhall pu$$iefooting in the flat at the 7? The hold by Miller?

What exactly did BA suck at last game? They were in position to make a ton of plays and they didn't make them.

Re: Fire BA

Are there fans here that actually believe BA is doing the most or getting the most out of the talent he has on the offense ?


From a scale of 1 to 10 where, does BA stand with you ?

Bruce Arians' playbook does not contain a well designed novel play.

That was easy!

I call BS once again...

Moore fumbled on the two...I think (and my opinion is just as valid as yours) that they would have scored a TD...the final score would likely have been 20-9 and no such thread would have been started...

You would still hate Arians, but we wouldn't have this thread to beat the dead horse even more...

7...and it would be higher if he used Redman more.

No. He stands at about a 3. And that's always been my biggest beef with him - even when screw-ups aren't his fault, he never actually does anything to help this offense. Does not make the players better, does not game plan well, has no creativity, no ability to adjust, etc. Since he first took over, this offense has ALWAYS underperformed. Some people love to blame the players, but BA has been the one common denominator in this since 2007.

What makes it worse is his outright refusal to change. His attitude toward criticism is completely off base and shows why he's unfit for the job. Instead of meeting criticism with "I know, I need to do better, I'll try," his response is usually "Screw you guys, I'll keep doing what I'm doing, you'll see."

He stinks. Unfortunately, there appears to be no end of him in sight.
