Steelers vs Bumgals

[Northern_Blitz]

the steelers called TO with the ball on the 5 yard line with a minute left and 3 timeouts

Do you think they did that for time management reasons, or to try to get the play right so they could actually try to get a TD?

Not watching the game (not in my area and at this point in my life not spending for the NFL ticket when I won't be watching it all day long).

The one thing that stats line says that is so alarming

YPA (Ben) 4.4 yds
YPA (Burrow) 12.3 yds

now burrow has 10 less attempts (9/11 vs 14/21) but you cannot win much in the NFL with a 4.4 YPA average.

I know I am of the ilk "Ben is done" crowd, but since I am not watching...how much of a swinging gate is the oline today. I still think our QB should be able to have a better than 4.4 YPA but want to be fair on my critique.

We are on pace to score under 15 points. We need a blocked punt to win. Tomlin / the OC shoots the offense in the foot. Ben may be done but at least let him throw it past 6 yards.

Have you watched our OL. I think some of your blame is misguided.

[Joel Buchsbaum]

anyone catch the clock mismanagement (again) by coach top 5

bengals would have had about 30 seconds left after the kickoffinstead of a minute.

maybe they go into the locker room with that little of time

Aye, I saw it.

[Joel Buchsbaum]

I wonder how many games it will take for the O to score 20 points.

I hope it happens today, but I won't be holding my breath.

A lot. This looks like a 5-12 team. We are that hopeless. Ben is DONE. The ol is putrid, The db's suspect.

What the heck is this missed tackling…my god…

Let him?! LOL

Browns/Bears on in my area...

5 sacks in a half and some change for the Browns...

1) Browns will sweep the Steelers
2) Ben will be out sooner than later
3) In hindsight, Munchak might have been the biggest loss the Steelers had. It took him a couple of seasons, but Denver OL seems to be pretty good now.

I don’t know if Bush is still hurt but he’s been nonexistent. Hesitant to get in running lanes and a step slow.

[NorthCoast]

Tuszka with a tackle!

If we can only win 5, I hope we tank and do worse.

[SteelBucks]

If we can only win 5, I hope we tank and do worse.

Looking at our schedule, 5 may be generous.

[Northern_Blitz]

Looking at our schedule, 5 may be generous.

If we don't get healthy on D I could see that.

If we get close to full strength I think our D should be good enough to get us more than 5.

But it's hard to win games when you can't score 20 points.

10/31 @ Browns...

6 sacks today in less than 3 quarters...I am not sure if Bears OL is much worse than ours...but that may be Ben's house of horrors

This just isn't a catch up offense and they haven't played with a lead in two games.
