Ben is the problem.. Quotes from interview today

Did you ask Santa for your Dobbs jersey yet? Hurry. Put it on the list. Elf's are very busy right now.

 

I'm sure he's got a jersey for every one of bens back ups.. I'm sure that Dobbs Jersey would look nice In between those Bruce gradkowski and Dennis Dixon Jerseys

 

And yet, everyone loves that Terry called all his own plays! Not all of them worked either!

 

I'm not much of a Twitter guy. Who is this "Blitzburgh", and is he someone who's opinion even matters? These do not appear to be quotes, just some blogger paraphrasing.

 

Only aspect I agree with indirectly is the fact that, for two weeks in a row, Ben did not hand the ball off to Conner; quite the oxymoron given Conners ability to punch it in the endzone.


One would think that, for a running back who has double digit rushing touchdowns, his name would be called. Why his name has not been called in the past two weeks is something I do not have the foggiest.



Punch the ball in with Conner. Stop throwing it near the goaline with the game on the line; this previous game with a timeout no less.

 

It comes down to coaching. Who's running this team?

 

It's gonna be a sad day for Steelers Nation when Ben retires.. You don't know what you've got until it's gone.

 

It may not take 20 years to find an elite QB again. It seems like there are more and more QBs coming out of college and ready to play than ever before. One thing Ben has in common with Bradshaw is that they both knew how to create the drama. I do agree its going to be a sad day when Ben retires. No matter how bad he or the team is playing, he always seems to only be a series away from tying or winning the game.

 

Ben should save his radio show for after he retires. He comes off as a passive-aggressive, finger pointing b!tch every time they lose and he runs his neck.

 

I love Ben and how he plays and I don’t want anybody else playing QB for me. But yea his comments and his passive aggressive attitude on his radio show and after games when they lose leave a lot to be desired. He took no blame what so ever for the last few plays on that final drive and some of his explanations and his flip flopping of stories of what went wrong on those last few plays were ridiculous.

 

And when they didn’t work he acted like a man and took the blame. He did not pass the buck.

My favorite Bradshaw quote after a bad game:

“I stunk the joint out.”

 

They gave Conner the ball on second down and the third-down play was an RPO with Conner as the first option. The timing was screwed up due to a bobble on the snap, which is why Roethlisberger couldn't get him the ball. Some have said it was a bad snap. I didn't catch that when I watched the replay before. either way, the issue on that play was the execution, not the call.

 

It was a bad snap, Ben and Conner looked like they actually bumped into each other thus, screwing up the timing of the play...imo Ben panicked ( obviously he then took the pass option ) ...

But by this time Pouncey had driven the NT back, AB couldn't come across flat enough ( from my eyes ) because said NT was in his route, AND also by this happening, the NT and DB were BOTH basically guarding AB...

Idk, The only thing I can come up with, because it was so bad was...Ben was throwing that ball hell or high water and THOUGHT it would open ( again obviously ) and not have a NT 5 yards in the endzone...

Obviously ( again ) I am not a professional football player...But the game is SO fast that the millisecond he threw it, He knew he ****ed up...idk

 

I'll take all y'alls word for it. I only see the short post game interviews. I hear him take the blame a lot in those. I don't live in Pit so, I didn't know he even had a radio show.

 

Did you see Cris Carter going "waaaaaa!!" about Ben when he was talking about throwing the int?

 

dobbs and rudolph don't even sniff ben's buttcrack in talent lol

 

Clearly he should have either tried to run with it himself or thrown the ball away. Trying to force the throw was a terrible decision.

 

There would have been no issue if they just lined up and ran it or threw it, instead of trying to get cute.
If this team ran an RPO, how often do you think Pass Happy Ben would actually hand the ball off to the back...

 

Huh? He reports Steelers news. They are all quotes from Ben yesterday from his interview he does every Tuesday.

 

Being objective of Bens play doesn't mean you want to see Dobbs or Rudolph over him.

Fake drama? Words right from Bens mouth.. Fitch told him to run the ball and he wanted to throw the ball 4 times to Juju at the 2. Big problem.

 

Up until recently, were we not one of the highest percentage teams to score a TD in the red zone?

What I had noticed was we were using some misdirection and new plays down near the goal line, but that last fiasco had no imagination.

 

I vaguely remember these times but if I remember correctly they were running the ball, getting Conner in the flat, etc. But nah, Ben wants to throw it 4 times to Juju now.
