Do we really game plan (Especially on offense?)

    One more thing, enough with the talk of Tennessee's D from last year... They actually upgraded and it showed, lack of execution or not!

    Our issue was not game planning, it was personnel IMO. Look at our positions

    RB - Redman is not good enough to be a starter. Bell hasn't played yet and LSH got hurt.
    TE - Didn't have any
    WR - Need someone over 6' to throw at in the redzone
    O Line - Pouncey out

    The good news is that Bell will be the starter at some point, Heath will come back, Moye will start to see work in the redzone and the O line is a young group and will improve every week. It is not as bad as it looked on Sunday. We will pull it together.

    Aero steel, for sure... Why a pile mover is expected to start, I'll never know! I do lay that on the coach... Or the front office? Who knows at this point. Red moves the inch mark, doesn't change the field position on any carry. Dwyer or Jones can, based ,purely off of speed! Really weird calls bing made right now, and not really characteristic at this point

    Also, all this talk of Ben audibling is bunk!

    He's said repeatedlt that he doesn't understand the run game and he said it again yesterday.
    on his show:

    "
    I'm not a running guru, I can't sit here and say why we didn't run the ball well,” Roethlisberger said. “We just didn't get it done, whether it was blocking, whether it was running. When you can't run the ball, it's hard to run play-action passes ... it makes it tough on the linemen to protect because they're bringing extra guys.”

    If the franchise QB doesn't understand how the run game works, how can he call an audible and make sure everyone's set before the play?

    You don't really think a NFL QB doesn't understand how the run game works, right? Of course he does. He could go into great detail as to why it wasn't working, where each play broke down etc etc etc. What's he going to say to the media? 'It was Gilbert's fault!' or 'The Oline is a complete joke. These guys blew their assignment over and over. I'm surprised we even got positive yardage Sunday'?

    When he keeps repeatedly saying he doesn't, what do you expect me to believe?

    This isn't the first time he's said it about himself. I expect an NFL caliber QB to to understand it, but Ben has repeatedly said he doesn't know about it.

    I may be inclined to say it's his way of avoiding the question though.

    TTF...we had positive yardage Sunday? When did this happen? I must have ran to the bathroom or something and missed it!
