    AB but if you don't get him the ball then there is no playmaker to be had. Felix Jones was another but I'll blame Haley for not using him more.

    i think AB is very good and he is a playmaker, but he doesnt have the ability to make big plays unless he gets the perfect pass. he doesnt have the ability to go up and get the ball from a defender. to me a playmaker is a guy that you can throw the ball to in any spot and have the confidence he will make the catch. Ben doesnt have that guy.

    I totally disagree. What I seen from Ben was someone get fired up and not taking scrap from the other players. Brady get's upset when a receiver is not where he's suppose to be. Peyton does the same. Now when Ben get's in the face of a receiver he's tanking the season to be with Arians. Ben want's to win and that's what I seen out there.

    I wouldn't go that far. I'd call it frustration more than anything - and it's showing, not just on him, but on others like Troy. How many other times have you seen Troy get that fired up and willing to cause UC penalties?

    I just don't know what else we can expect Ben to do. He has zero time to throw the ball; and when he does, his receivers either don't catch it, or don't fight for it. He has no running game behind him to fall back on to keep the defense honest, so the opposing D just pins their ears back and goes for broke knowing the best Ben is going to manage is bouncing a pass off the defender's backs or overthrowing his receivers because he hasn't had time to set up.

    Frustration, plain and simple IMO.

    They cant catch it if its constantly being thrown over their heads. Something is up with Ben and its more than the OL sucking ass.

    I don't know how overthrowing wide open receivers would get rid of Haley, ...that's how you get yourself fired. I would say bye to Ben , not Todd

    I recall Ben took a while to align his throwing with Wallace's speed. Maybe he needs to adjust to these receivers speed in relation to where he is throwing to them on the field. Also, it seemed several of the deep passes Ben attempted were to receivers who were also double-covered and had very little separation. Those passes are generally only lasered by the likes of P.Manning, Brees, Brady and maybe Rodgers... and maybe Vick on a good day.

    The offense is not a good fit for Ben. He is unhappy with it and it shows.
