What a contrast to the play calling. You can really tell sometimes when the Steelers are running strictly designed plays called by Haley.
The first couple of series netted nothing, all designed calls from Haley. He sure loves those bubble screens.
After that, the Steelers opened up a little and Ben started passing, some passes you could tell were on him, not the called play.
After getting behind, Ben was aggressive, most passes were him just throwing down field. Ironically, the Steelers were most successful when running this style of up tempo aggressive style. It fits Ben's style.
After playing like that for nearly 2 quarters and getting back in game, we are only down 7, just get the ball back on a huge punt block. This following Ben completing 14/15 passes.
So what do the Steelers do? They revert back to running Haley's calls. 3 straight conservative running plays and a questionable 4th down call. We got the ball at the 50 yard line and got nothing. Could have continued to be aggressive and throw the ball and maybe tied the game at that point, but they didn't.
Then the Jaguars do what the Steelers should have, they are aggressive and throw the ball down field, building the lead back up to 14.
And what do the Steelers do after that? They revert back to letting Ben be aggressive and throw and score.
If the Steelers had run Haley's offense the entire game, the final score would have been 42-17.
