Of course you don't. In your mind, the offense is unstoppable force. The only one that is stopping it is the OWNER. because He has NO IDEA what he's doing. You'd also have kept a guy who was about to be suspended for four weeks and would have been a ton to keep. SMH. Crash, sometimes you are a very knowledgable poster, but most of the time, your opinion is all that matters to you.

When that contract ended, what did stonedio get?
We weren't going to sign him. We had to get rid of one of our a$$holes. It was either him or Ben. You choose.

Why did it have to be either? You don't give away a solid VET WR if you are the contender you think you are and then complain when the offense struggles with a 2nd year WR, two rookies, and a washed up ARE and Hines at wide out.Comment

Man...didn't Crash start the week somewhere around 3,500 posts?
I think he's been dipping into Saunder's Adderall stash, feasting on nothing but Kimchi, and engaging in self-flagellation while staring at his defaced Hines Ward Fathead for the past few days.
How else do you explain such an epic binge of bitterness?

I don't own a Ward Fat Head. He only has one ACL and I didn't give him a chance.Comment

Whne you have to cherry pick two instances out of an entire season, the defense played very well...Not all the time. When the Texans held the ball for 11 minutes to start the game, did their "defense" stop our offense?
No.
When the Steelers offense held the ball for almost 6 minutes to start the Pats game, did the "defense" stop Brady?
No.
That's what some fans can't grasp. Context means more than box scores and fantasy rankings.Actually, my post was NOT about you...but, if the shoe fits, feel free to lace that &!+€# up and wear it.Comment

Except they lost partly because of a TERRIBLE call by BA himself. If I recall correctly, if we get a first down we run down the clock. Its 3rd and forever (7? 10?) and Ben runs a quarterback sneak up the middle. Sure, lets blame that on the Rooney's philosophy. That is the kind of stuff that got swept out the door with BA...Comment

They were aided by a team that was #2 in TOP. That's why I mention when they give up points before the offense sees the field (I believe it was 6 games they gave up points on their opening drive) or when they give up points after we score.
It happened more than twice (if you watch as much as you say you do you'd know this), those were just two examples off the top of my head.Comment

And like you were told. They didn't even try to get a first down. It was a play to chew clock, the same play they called against the Browns ealier in the season in the same situation.Except they lost partly because of a TERRIBLE call by BA himself.

Do you REALLY believe that if they were going for a first down they would run a QB draw from shotgun on 3rd and 6?
The problem was that Sepulveda against the Jags got off a crap punt.Comment

Santonio was traded for a 5th round pick which was subsequently flipped to Arizona for McFadden and a 6th round pick that we used to select a WR who is younger, cheaper, and had 18 more catches for 454 more yards than Holmes last season. Is Antonio Brown a box of cleats?Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.
Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.
We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.
We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.Comment

Haley senses no concern in Roethlisberger over changes
Posted by Mike Florio on June 6, 2012

Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has admitted from time to time that he was and still is concerned about the changes on offense in Pittsburgh. Offensive coordinator Todd Haley says that, if Roethlisberger is concerned, Haley hasn’t experienced it.
“I haven’t sensed any of that concern, at least me personally,” Haley said Wednesday, via the Associated Press. “He’s in here, he’s working hard. He’s into it — even the days when he hasn’t practiced, he’s over my shoulder, talking, commenting, discussing. That’s what I’ve seen out of all the good quarterbacks — really good quarterbacks — that I’ve been around act like.”
Still, Haley realizes that it’s natural to resist a new approach. “Change is not always comfortable, and we said that right out of the gate,” Haley said. “Sometimes when there are changes, that’s a way to keep guys on their toes and keep their focus on the understanding of what the goal is — and that is to win Super Bowls.”
It’s unclear how much the offense really will change. Amid reports and speculation that Roethlisberger will be expected to remain in the pocket in order to minimize the number of hits he takes, Haley says he won’t take away one of the quarterback’s strengths.
“It’s one of the best things he does, and it’s what separates him from all the other guys in the league for the most part,” Haley said. “So you don’t want to take that great ability away from him.”
More changes could be coming. Haley, who has a reputation for being a little intense (to say the least), says that he has yet to really get going. “I don’t flip that switch until a little later,” Haley said. “In training camp, we’ll pick it up a notch.”
So, basically, there’s still plenty of time for Ben to be flabbergasted.
