yea, that's what really counts

[RobinCole]

What stats today?

[Steelhere10]

Haley suck big time and Tomlin let him suck harder.

Man really going to put it on the coaches? The offense looked shell shocked to me. I would agree if the running game was not lighting them up! If you can't run then still pass the ball that is just bad if you are such a great offense! Should be able do what ever is needed to beat what the defense is doing. Plus first half some players looked flat and lost. Like they should be handed the win. With Bell playing IMO this game is different as the check down to the back is more explosive! With out Bell the check down was not worth much at all. Not DW's fault he is not that type of back now. Still a good RB but not a big game threat! And Bryant still has drops that he has to get! Smokie Holmes, Hines and even Wallace at times cought the tough passes! Hope Bryant stay off the weed and works on catching the tough ball!

I'm not sure if you were watching the same game as I was. Deangelo Williams caught 2 or 3 check downs and made a lot of yards after the catch. Bell may have made a difference only because he's a better back and younger, but DW played a great game today rushing the ball and catching the ball, IMO.

17 for 100 yards rushing
6 for 53 yards receiving

Yep Pap!! DW ran for 100 yards and had 6 catches for another 53. Could not have done more. Announcers even mentioned how good he is catching passes out of the back field.

[SS Laser]

Yes DW had a good game but not explosive like Bell. Were they better have a game plan to stop that! One check down and Bell can change the whole game IMO!

No.. with Bell we have the same outcome. DW wasnt bad in checkdown and had 85 yards on the ground in the first half.

Problem is Ben keeps trying to throw to FB's downfield for some reason and it isnt working. Lol

Dont disagree Laser but Bell went down week 8. This is the 9th game with DW as the starter (7 in a row). Simply no excuse at this point. Every team is fighting injuries and DW has shown to be one of the best FA pick-ups on any team this year.

Yeah, the whole "if we had a guy we didnt have" we would beat a 4 win team doesnt fly when you look at the stats for DW.

[NJ-STEELER]

The offense is what it is. It made up of a bunch of low round draft picks at the skill positions.

It it clear they don't trust Bryant with anything other then deep routes and maybe screens. For all his natural talent, we see why he lasted until the 4th round. He needs to be more consistent with his hands and route running.

Wheaton is a good 3rd wr but would be nothing more then an average starting 2 nd wideout on any team.

Miller is a no threat down the field but reliable in the short passing game as long it's not man to man cause he not quick enough to get open anymore.

As as good as deangelo has been.... He IS NOT leveon bell, and they shouldn't be game planning him like he is.

hopefully a game like today (and Seattle as well as others) quiets the "AB is the best receiver in the game crowd".
showed today why the bigger, more physical guys are the ones every team would rather have. They box out the smaller cbs on the int and almost pick six.
You even even make an argument on the 1st int the ball is thrown over the LBs head of the target was a 6'4 receiver. Still a poor choice to throw it there given the options.
He's great and a top 10 receivers but you need more. Defenses can scheme and limit the damage a top top 10 receiver can do


Im amazed at the stats the offense has put up in some of the games this year

sounds like a lot of excuses for a piss poor display by an offense you guys were boasting about the past few years.

AB may not be the best but he is one of the best and its not his fault Ben was off today.

The real problem is this offense doesn't close the deal in the RZ and it keeps changing its identity when it plays subpar teams.
