It seems to me that the Steelers come out flat and slow in many games. Ir certainly seems so this year, and it seems this has been the case over the past few years. Perhaps my perception is off. Tonight, I have to believe that the way we played so flat in the 1st quarter (actually most of the 1st half) cost us this crucial game tonight.

Yeah I posted the same in another thread. First halves haven't been kind.Comment

Thank you, the Steelers gave away two drives tonight that the Ravens didn't even really have to defend, ridiculous. On the other hand, Ben was in complete control of the game and the offense, his play selection was on point, his reads were excellent, he did miss a few throws, but all in all he played a great game. Manny Sanders on the other hand, if he can hold on to any one of the three he dropped, there could have been a different outcome tonight.

This year, we have been outscored over 2 to 1 in 1st quarters, 74 to 36. Seems to be a problem on both sides of the ball.

This needs to be Ben's team on offense, with coach as consultant and facilitator. This D needs a leader too.

Outscored by over 2 to 1 in the 1st quarters this year.
After scoring average of 31 points in the previous 4 games largely out of the no-huddle, we run a total of 5 plays called in the no-huddle in the 1st half. Zero points in the 1st half.
Down 13 - 0 midway through the 3rd quarter last night. Even 1 score by the offense in the 1st half, and we win the game.

The offense is not productive in the first quarter because they waste too much time trying to establish the run, instead of using the pass to set up the run like every other team with an elite QB does.sigpic

To me, it's this simple, hand the ball to Ben and get out of the way. Ben can run the offense as well as Manning, Brady, etc if they just let him. He's every bit as good as them, but with the ability to extend a play and make a silk purse out of sow's ear when necessary.

you said: I heard: I get your point, but I sure do get tired of people forgetting the one area that Ben outdoes Peyton in. The one area that ultimately matters I mean. And truthfully, does he even "HAVE" to be Peyton or Tom in order to call a good game from the no huddle? because from what I see, Ben does a heckuva job just working the no huddle the way he does it. I wouldn't change a bit about that part of his game. But, I'd sure as heck start letting him do it either a) more often or b) a little earlier in winnable games.Comment
