    No. I miss Bill Cowher. I miss the old Big Ben. The one that could actually throw an accurate ball.

    Lost 4 of their last 5 in 2012. 0-4 in the preseason and now 0-2 to start the season.

      You're really starting to sound like the typical grumpy yinzer that just blames Ben for everything.

      Arians, even considering the flaws that offense had, is looking like a genius compared to Todd Haley.

        Are you watching the game? I could heave the ball in the air 30 yards down the field hoping a WR somehow comes down to it.

        Ben looks freakin' terrible. How many overthrows and high throws did he make tonight. Freaking terrible all around. I'm hoping Rooney fires both Haley and Tomlin.

          Gruden called it perfectly when he said the steeler's offensive line has gotten "Younger, but not better". That's why Ben isn't making the throws. Get him an average line and see what happens

            What exactly are you expecting? He has no #1 WR, no legit NFL TE, and a horrible OL. You want to be mad at someone for the offense, be mad at the front office.

              BEN is throwing it downfield in the air b/c he knows he has no time. better to let a WR make a play than let ur OL try to block

                Is the line going to throw the ball as well? I can heave the ball down the sidelines for 30 or so yards. I thought a franchise QB was supposed to read a defense and throw to the open guy and not just throw it up for grabs.

                  Maybe a team should build around their franchise QB instead of giving him chicken **** and hoping he makes chicken salad. You really need to get it through your head that Ben is nowhere close to being a problem with this team right now.

                      Ben played poorly tonight, had he been his typical 65% completion percentage this game would have been hanging in the balance at the end. He had more time than I thought he would have. This is hard to say, but the offensive line was adequate in pass protection for a veteran quarterback of Ben's caliber. They were horrific in run blocking, but that's a different story.

                          Ben has a lot more WR talent than a lot of other teams....especially the 2-0 Patriots.

                            as far as weapons yes... i'd say this is the worst OL in the league though.
