Dont normally post downers after a win but......,..

Watching Ben, I swear that I see him "aiming" a few balls out there, instead of just trusting his instincts and mechanics. When a QB starts staring down receivers and aiming, it's usually not good. Whatever it is, I hope he gets it worked out.

You my sir, get the award for this post. Even that pass to JU,he was aiming it.

Why watch the rest of the NFL when you can just complain about the lack of perfection. If you watched other games you might have perspective and bitching and moaning about being 6-2 is so much easier

someone posted it or I heard it on radio. Seems like all 3 of the QB's in Ben's draft class are starting to fade a bit. Maybe its arm strength, maybe it's having one foot out the door.. who knows.

Also, I read an article showing how offenses were struggling this year and TD's are down. I think we are seeing another cycle in the NFL. Chicago won a game vs Carolina where they completed 4 passes on offense.

If Ben ever become 2014 again, look out NFL. But to be fair NE and other teams that supposed to be power houses don't look so hot.

Ben's wife needs to give him a hall pass for the playoffs

Missing that big in a DOME is not good.
However he still has continuity w/ AB and JuJu which is good.
But there's not 3rd and 4th WR he's on par with.

are you watching other games this year?

Eli isn’t doing it

Rivers isn’t doing it

Hell, Brady struggled in the RZ yesterday and they needed help from the refs and the kicker missed 2 FG’s as well.

This is why the Texans scare me. They score TD’s. Fortunately the D also gave up a ton yesterday in a wild shootout in Seattle.

Not sure anyone cares but defenses are catching up to offenses this year.

Ben is struggling but he has company.

my point was that they all can still establish rhythm and sustain offense, with much less talent around them.

As for HOU, I’m not worried too much about a rookie QB in the end. Defenses are developing a book on Watson, which happened to Dak last year and Ben when he was tearing the league up.

Ben is starting to really worry me. He has never missed open guys so routinely in the past.
That and the drops on the other side of the pass........we could have destroyed these guys.

If Ben can somehow get his mojo back this team would be in a league of its own.

I watched the game and thought the same... he looks like he's trying to "guide" the ball instead of just throwing it - which often leads to them sailing. Was kinda surprising. I began to wonder if he had some hidden injury that he can't step into and zing the ball like he used to.

Even the first play, if he doesn't underthrow JuJu, that could've been a bigger play

Ehhh, it took an incredible pass by Rodgers to beat Dak in company in the playoffs.

Watson will throw INTs too.... but he has play makers as well. Watched them throw a bubble screen that went for 80 yards with Hopkins yesterday.

Wentz is what Roethlisberger was.
Watch Philly some time. Strong confident throws.
Not seeing the confidence in Roethlisberger's throws. Maybe the trust w receivers still isn't there.

I loved Wentz coming out. Shocked (but delighted) that Cleveland traded out of that pick. I saw him being a perfect QB for the AFC North with a Flacco floor and Roethlisberger ceiling (and considering that he had to make the vast adjustment from North Dakota to the NFL, he reached that ceiling remarkably quickly)!

Your reffering to that wide open TD he overthrew to that receiver who was all alone in the end zone ??

The fact that anyone has to clarify which of several passes he badly missed is the concerning part.

haha.. right?

"which pass are you talking about?"

The defense rest your honor

I remember Dan Marino his last two years when he was done...

And all he would do is yell at his wide receivers and blame them when he was clearly done and throwing picks all game. Ben is starting to do that in that he shakes his head at the WR when he's the one who throws the pass behind the receiver or it sails two feet above an outstretched wide receiver hands.

Ben needs to man up and just pat his hand on his chest and say, " My bad". Man up.
