    Just saw Ben's post game interview....Complained more than a few times about the play calling....Honestly i don't get it...Best deep thret in the game and we take maybe 1 shot a game..You never see Brown deep AND we don't run the ball...WTF our starting RB had 9 yeah 9 carries today..Ben's great at creating plays down the field and running the no huddle..Our D played as well as you can expect when your down to your 5th DB...This offense has not put anyone away this year and has cost us multiple games...We need to work with our players strengths and get sh!t figured out. It's now time to crap or get off the pot!

    the play calling has been bad. the Cowboys could not stop Miller and at one point he went 2 quarters without seeing a pass. why not just keep throwing him the ball until the Cowboys showed they could stop it.

    also what lost them the game tonight was AB fumble. i love AB, but his fumble killed them. they had a 24-17 lead and his return was going to put them at atleast midfield giving the offense great field position to atleast make it a 2 score game. instead he fumbles and the game is tied a few plays later.

    mistakes, mistakes, mistakes. im ot sure if its coaching or if this team just cant hold their eggs when the chips are down. at any rate they are in this position all on their own doing.

    I haven't heard it so I'll wait to comment but he definitely was pissed, did anyone else notice he left without going onto the field to shake anybody's hand? I turned it off pretty quick so maybe I missed him go out there, looked like he turned and walked off after the kick.

    Great, here goes Ben's fat mouth yet again. Haley didn't make Ben throw that INT. Haley didn't make Brown fumble. Haley doesn't cause Wallace to lose focus every game.

    It's pretty simple actually, deep throws are low success plays, especially with Ben's weak arm. Ben is not an accurate deep ball passer. Combine that with a terrible Oline and it's not secret why we don't go deep more often. The Rooney's apparently agree since they decided to fire BA and bring in Haley, despite Tomlin's wishes.

    The playcalling is fine, the execution is brutal. I'm tired of hearing how Ben is an elite QB that makes tons of game winning drives. He hasn't made many game winning drives the last 3 years. It's time for him to put up and shut up

    He threw quite a few short passes into the ground.

    Haven't seen it either. I was checking the Steeler website but it's not updated from last week yet.

    I'd have to say though, Haley didn't stare Wallace down and throw that pick. That was no-huddle Offense and he has the ability to change the plays.

    Must have been the playcalling that told him to throw those balls into the ground.

    Ben is THE only reason this team is in any game DB. He is the best player on the entire team.

    I think you need to listen to that interview again ... Haley was not blamed for play calling ... Ben said
    and ...

    BECAUSE the play was called then they changed the def AFTER the call , not that the call was wrong , the situation changed ( should not have to spell it out for ya ) use some common sense and people wonder how the media come up with pathetic non stories ( and watch by days end there will be a few of them )

    Yes, Ben is the best player on the team. Not sure what your point is though. Russell Wilson is the best player on his team. Ryan Tannehill is the best player on his team. The QB is almost always the best player on the team. That fact changes nothing though. Ben needs to shut his mouth for once in his career and worry about the things he can control, like not throwing INT's, not missing wide open receivers, not taking unnecessary sacks, etc. Ben is far from perfect, so until he is perfect, he needs to shut his mouth.

    When was the last time you heard Brady, Manning, Rodgers or Brees complaining about the playcalling?

    Exactly. Do like a 100 million dollar QB should and drive down to win the game. With the way this team plays Ben has to be perfect. You can whine about Brown's fumble all you want but the game was not lost until Ben threw that pick.

    I know one thing, the undisciplined BS we see on the field seems to also carry over to off the field. Ike is hosting his own radio show *****ing about various aspects of the team. Wallace is *****ing about not getting enough targets. Ben is *****ing about the playcalling.

    Good god, there's no discipline on this team, either on or off the field. There's far too much talking, *****ing and whining. Unless you're perfect, shut your mouth and do your job.

    I know, and that's kind of my point. Tomlin lets these guys say whatever the hell they want. There's no accountability. There's no discipline. I promise you this, Patriots players are not running around *****ing about various aspects of the team. Belichek wouldn't stand for it. Discipline starts off the field and extends to the play on the field.

    THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!! This is EXACTLY what I said to my wife at the end of the game!! I said "I am sick of him thinking that he doesn't need to study and just depending on his feet to help him make plays!!! Brady and Manning make him look like a MORON!!!" I don't know if this is a coaching thing or if it's on him to prepare how he sees fit. But I think it's time for a fire to get lit in his HEAD! He needs the intellectual ability to play the game from a mental standpoint! My wife said "oh please don't tell me you hate him now after we named our son after him!" I just said "well no but I'm REAAALLY getting sick of his crap!!!!" He NEEDS to be coached up! BA admittedly wouldn't do it and it's holding him AND THIS FRANCHISE from TRUE greatness! I don't wanna hear bellyaching from Ben. He had multiple options on that play. Did he not? He came out looking lazy from the start of the game. I even said this during the thread. Just a disgraceful performance from MANY idiots today.

    We need to make a position available for Tom Cable to come in and start knocking some sense into some of these goofs.

    Without Ben, this team is Arizona. Geezus, what other QB in the league could have made the play he did at the end of the 1st half? Yes he had some bad passes. He's not perfect. He begged for Arians to not get let go and based on statistics and results, he wasn't wrong. Unfortunately the organization won't acknowledge the problem is Tomlin.

    I can't stand players who whine to the media. I remember a time where the Pittsburgh Steelers were known for being above this type of BS. We kept everything in house. Now, there's no discipline whatsoever. There's just a bunch of egomaniacs running around doing whatever the hell they want

    There was no internet, but there was still plenty of media. Some teams are constantly whining to the media, some teams aren't. The successful team's aren't...
