Beanie Weanie Wells in Pittsburgh today for

[Captain Lemming]

Last year was far from "Yinzer Ball."
Most passing attempts by the Steelers since Ben has been here.
Not exacty 3-yards and a cloud of dust.

Here is a fact Jack.
We have NEVER had missed a single playoff playing Yinzerball with Ben at QB.

During the era of Ben, EVERY SINGLE TIME we missed the playoffs the Steelers had 500 plus pass attempts.

Steelers pass attempts, reverse order- result

2004 fewest- Bens best win percentage
2005 next fewest SB win
2007 next fewest Playoffs Bens highest QB rating
2010 next fewest second SB

Seasons Steelers had OVER 500 attempts

2006 first missed playoff
2009 second missed playoff
2011 Only playoff team of the Ben era to have 500 attempts and make playoffs
2012 Most attempts missed playoffs

Art doesn't want wins.

We had wins. We had conference titles. We had 2 more Lombardi's in the trophy case.

Wasn't good enough.

He wants Yinzer Ball.

Wins don't matter to him.

I don't like Hines Ward because he was a phony POS off the field.

[Siggy00]

STFU stat geek.

Watch the games. Not the stat sheet.

We come out throwing, get a lead, then we run the ball.

The 2nd most 4th quarter/game winning drives given up on defense since 2007.

If Ben didn't save their asses on the games they won when they blew 4th quarter leads? They'd be ringless.

nice work.

[Siggy00]

Nice work my ass. He's reading stat sheets.

He doesn't pay attention to the games. It's more about WHEN, than how many.

[steelz09]

STFU stat geek.

That's not acceptable.

[SidSmythe]

He is fast, big and powerful. He has elite vision, and a vicious stiff arm. People who are complaining obviously haven't seen this guy tote the rock.

Anyone who thinks WELLS isn't a GOOD RB is clueless.
The only problem is he can't stay healthy...he couldn't in college and hasn't in the NFL.
If he could play 16 games I'd be all over him and so would 31 other teams.

for all the crap i give ya, crash, you know i agree with ya on most stuff... this is pretty spot on...

the "most passing attempts" is a sign that you're behind and HAVE TO throw... (it's also a sign that the offense wasn't a quick strike offense as it was in the past - a knock on Haley)

[Siggy00]

And if my Aunt had balls she'd be my Uncle.

I can't believe our GM can question the ability at running back, and then keeps 3 of the 4 he has left under contract.

[lloydroid]

He ran a 4.46 at his pro day...hardly plodding...

If the o-line can stay healthy, they can help make 100 yard rushers out of Dwyer and Redman...imagine what they can do with Wells...

Wells is overrated as hell. He is mostly likely a product of PEDs, which would explain both his size and speed, along with his vast amount of injuries his entire career. If they sign him, it will be a huge mistake. This would be a massive mistake. The front office are idiots if they do this. Just complete morons.

He was only able to play 8 games in 2012 and ran for a pathetic 2.7 ypc. That is beyond horrible.

He has NEVER lived up to his hype. I wouldn't even give this guy a phone call.

What happened to the once-shrewed Steelers? They are crapping their pants with wet turds at this point.

with that, i agree... and Shawn knows that's been MY beef... health, not ability... although, Shawn threw "fast" in there... 4.62 was his combine time... that's not "fast"... still a damn good player.

Pot, kettle on that one Crash. Nobody throws around ridiculous stats like you.
For example:

The 2nd most 4th quarter/game winning drives given up on defense since 2007.

2nd most 4th quarter game winning drives really Crash? You watch every teams every game since 07 and calculated that in your head

Hey Crash, how many did we give up in Bens first two seasons under BC when we really played "yinzer ball"

We come out throwing, get a lead, then we run the ball.

So what, I agree. And YOU hated it.
That was what you called "yinzer ball" at the time, and derisively called "the turtle".
Me and the Rooneys call it "winning football" Crash.

And YES, it is "nice work" if I do say so myself

Yeah, Captain Lemming, how dare you use facts to support your argument! That is completely inexcusable, especially when they contradict what Crash has to say.

Did anyone consider that when they team isn't as good, they are forced to throw more because they find themselves behind more often? The passing attempts prove nothing. The Pgh teams who are not as good are forced to throw more, hence they have worse records.
