    "We Had the Perfect Play"

    From CBS Sports NFL site:

    28 minutes ago - by Chuck Finder - Sanders: 'We had the perfect play call'
    The fourth-to-last regulation snap when Ben Roethlisberger got stripped? It was a pass play designed for Emmanuel Sanders. They needed “10 to 12 more yards” for a game-winning Shaun Suisham FG attempt, Sanders said. “We had the perfect play call. But [Denver] sent the stunt up the middle, [and the play] didn’t work.” Steelers RapidReports
    Errr....if Denver's stunt blew it up, do you really think you could call it the "perfect play call"?

    Seriously, every play is perfect unless the defense gets in the way.

        What? Y'all ain't know. Every play Brucey Boy calls is the "perfect play"....as long as they execute. And don't forget the "potential" of this offense. It's so close to "sky's the limit", we can see Russia from BA's porch.

              The play failed butttt From the view on Tv - right before the Camera switched to Ben being sacked - you could See Sanders Wide the heck open...

              just couldnt get it off.

                That's what you call a busted play, not the perfect play

                  It probably was a perfect play. If you expect 5 o- linemen to be able to block 4 rushers.

                    It just wasn't executed properly...

                        Yes some calls are perfect against vs. a defensive play call...
                        except you still have to "execute"

                            An apt metaphor for a season of too many underperformances at the significantly wrong times ... whether red zone, or end of games, or coming out way too flat.
