I hate to say I told you so....

lol, not really but c'mon you guys...

you tried to make excuses for the Jax point total on offense.

maybe you guys should let us vent on an obvious problem with this offense.

Never should have fired Arians.. we haven't smelled the playoffs since he left.

The Steelers had the same problem with Arians that they did with Haley - they moved the ball but didn't score.

We need the big body receiver that can pull down the jump balls. I love heath miller but he isn't that guy. We drafted on in Bryant, so let's see how he matures. The reality is this team isn't very good in the here and now but we have the pieces at a majority of the important positions. We need another strong draft and maybe a free agent signing or two and we should be on the upswing. We have youth all over, they are just very green. Wheaton is going to be legit. I want to see some more of the shark.

Either way ridiculously frustrating game mostly because of the offensive play calling and execution in the red zone.

no.... we struggled to score with a good/great D...

when the D struggled, our O stepped up.

we were never this bad with Arians.

Bryant might be that guy, Moyer and Brown as well. The problem is even when we get in the RZ... we don't throw to our bigs

shark doesn't play because he is always hurt. stop drafting outdated punishers... draft ball hawks

You know you've hit the basement when you begin pining for Arians. BA got us points, but we haven't really had a stellar OC in forever. The Steeler way was to grind out a lead and hold it.
In the past half dozen years we've lost this ability to hold a lead as our DC went bankrupt. Now our O can't generate the lead in the first place.

We may well make our way out of this dump. By then Ben will be beat up and ineffective. Either way, we're staring at another bad stretch for the next 5-6 years.

I was the one making excuses, I was the one who said we needed the pride to kick in, that the loss to Tampa was going to wake us up..
man was I wrong.. soooo wrong. We are a bad bad football team. Can we get better, yes but it sure does not look like we will..
sheesh.

[Slapstick]

Who was stopping anyone from venting? This board has been non-stop venting for weeks. Nobody has tried to silence anyone who vented...or is venting now.

God forbid someone offer an opposing argument.

[fezziwig]

this is a bad team or badly coached or both. defense to me has little talent except for Heyward/Timmons and give a young linebacker a chance. Haley doesn't know how to fire his weapons because there is talent there. 1 yd goal line passing and 15 yard unsportsman ugh !

I agree..not even close...At least Arians used Ben like he should be used for but, no the Rooney's want to go back to the run and and just use Ben for the dink and dunk... Fail!!!!

[fezziwig]

did haley use the run ? I had to listen to the game. seemed like a lot of missed passes ?

[Steelhere10]

He ran to fn much, matter of fact the whole game he did.
