-How do you not attempt a 52 yard fg? The play before that Ben attempts a pass, Gilbert(?) called for holding which was declined. Why not run there and make it less than a 50 yard attempt? Then you only need a FG on last drive.
-When are they going to realize the Dri Archer experiment is a failure?
-Burn those gid awful uniforms damn it.
-How do you not get points after Blake's INT?

How this guy has a roster spot is incredible. There isn't some other guy on the roster that can catch and kneel kickoffs? I don't even want him to run it out!ville5 wrote:-How do you not attempt a 52 yard fg? The play before that Ben attempts a pass, Gilbert(?) called for holding which was declined.

When he was off with his throws, they went high. Rust showing. Better next week.DelPen wrote:Dreadful game from Ben.

Being high on his throws tells me his knee was still bothering him. Like he wasn't following through all the way., wasn't putting his full weight on his knee.

Re: Official 2015-2016 Pittsburgh Steelers Thread
It's a shame, the defense has actually played well this season and the offense has been left with key injuries for all but a few quarters.
Williams is still a competent starter for this year but not many players can bring what Bell brings. Probably would have won if he did't get hurt since Ben would just hand off to him more.
But this team should still be good enough to make a WC spot considering how much most teams suck this year. But if we don't injuries will be blamed even though poor coaching by Tomlin and Haley will be most likely responsible. Bizarre play calls against KC that didn't help Landry at all and poor TO management again by Tomlin cost a play at the end which could have been for the win. At some point this team needs a change from Colbert and the sooner or better, only question is will the coaches go with him.

Archer released after Jacoby Jones was claimed off waivers from SD. Great trade off.

So another wasted KC draft pick :roll: Hopefully we can sign Murphy to the practice squad.
Doran Grant's a better fit team wise right now.

Well, we have the Browns this week. Hopefully Landry Jones will be adequate.

I hope the short pattern of being great in relief and crap when prepared doesn't prove true. He should be able to manage the game and still handle the Browns.Humperdink wrote:Well, we have the Browns this week. Hopefully Landry Jones will be adequate.
The D needs to handle Johnny Football. They couldn't handle Alex Smith when we needed them to.

Re: Official 2015-2016 Pittsburgh Steelers Thread
Haley put Landry in a bad situation with a horrible game plan vs the Chiefs. I'm not sure Ben would have won running the same plays and Vick certainly wouldn't have.
Keep it simple and let the guy play to his strengths. Things will be fine.

Maybe this team will learn how to cover a TE before I die.

If you look at the last drive getting an extra 5 points in ok skipping the FG try since we are still up net two and just got the ball back.

Sure glad #84 didn't pull a hammie or twist an ankle on the TD somersault.

Tomlin's damn lucky his stupid calls didn't come back to bite him in the arse.
When you're up by 9, you don't go for 2. And when you're up by 11, you take the FG. You don't go for it with a gimme kick.

How many times has a player dropped a pass today that hits them in the chest.

So sick of the defense giving up big pass plays on third down.
