    Steelers are on Cloud 9-0!!!!!!!!!

    yes, our lack of a running game is worrisome.

    and yes, Tomlin should be fired.

    but hey, let's enjoy the best start in franchise history!

    You just know being the only undefeated team in the nfl is killing some.

      Our running game is awful . Time to give Benny some snaps , he has been in the dog house long enough. Rightfully so with fumbles. Conner looks lost .

        13 carries for 36 yards is worrisome.

          I'm not concerned with the running game. Some of those throws are almost like running plays. We'll be fine.

            The Oline just isn't very good at run blocking. They do a great job pass blocking which is more important. It's much better to have a run game issue than a passing game issue. We are going to live or die by the strengths of the team like most teams do.

              Ultimately your right; but for some it’s not comforting for the offense to be so one-demensional. But hey, it’s the regular season and we’re 9-0 with the jags up next.

                He looks like he forgot how to run, and is trying to run like Bell, and his skill set isn't for that style. The need to make a move. It ain't working.

                  Any RB is going to look lost if the Oline doesn't block well. The Oline isn't creating any holes and often times someone gets pushed around.

                    A personnel move? There is nobody to add. Gotta dance with the girl we brought to the prom. Lol

                      I disagree. They do a great job when pulling the guards. There are times when you just can't do it all. The offense has been changing over the last few years of Ben's career. Kind of like the way Bradshaw's did. Towards the end of Terry's career, he threw at will with success.... I believe its some of these play calls. Some seem like they are destined to fail from the beginning of the play. I see linemen in angles that are awful. Wrong angles, just wrong blocking. Just poor execution, but I'm not sure they could execute correctly on some of those plays. Maybe Fichtner is at blame there on drawing up the play. Maybe Ben should just audible out of those. Don't know. Anyway.............

                      ............. We'll keep plugging along. Just take what the defense gives us.. Our offense sure has evolved. And that's fine.

                        Rats lose, we're up 3 games in the division, in great shape coming to the downhill side of the season.

                          I mean within the current team: give Snell and McFly more touches. Like, more than JC. I know he hasn't had great blocking, but come on.

                            McFly wasn't even active today.

                              Gotcha. Certain running plays are not to Conner’s strengths.
