Stats just mock the Steelers lol

What loss is hurting the offense more? Ben or Brown?

 

No, it's bias on your part and others. You can't stand giving Brown credit for anything, so you make excuses. You also ignore the fact that Vick was a shell of what he had been by then.

If you want to delude yourself into thinking the loss of Brown isn't part of the offense's struggles this year, that's on you.

 

We don't know. I'm assuming Roethlisberger, but both are significant.

All we do know is the offense looked like garbage the one game it had with a healthy Roethlisberger this season.

 

Nah bro QB play is the more significant factor.

 

How can so many others be wrong? The Steelers choose Ben over AB.

Brown was a great player for the team. That has nothing to do with this discussion.

Maybe you don't realize it but you proved my point about QB play. I don't need to say anything else. Hahaha

 

Steelers cut bait with Brown at just the right time. You should be praising the move because they usually wait too long. AB may have helped offense production game wise, but he was not going to help the team improve moving forward. JuJu will make the HOF without his help, bank on it.

 

Why are you saying no when I said I suspect Roethlisberger is the larger factor, which agrees with your point?

It's funny how you think it is appropriate to guess what would have happened if Roethlisberger playing, but you don't want anybody who disagrees with your overall point of view to do the same thing. Either we can know what would have happened or we can't. Be consistent.

 

It's absolutely on topic. People's refusal to acknowledge the significance of the loss of Brown is absolutely relevant to this discussion.

Also, I reject your premise regarding the opener. You are claiming Roetlhisberger was hurt during that game. We don't know that. We know his elbow was bothering him after the game and something tore by the time he left the Seattle contest, but there is no real evidence that it was an issue all through the opener.

During the preseason, didn't you insist that even a significant drop-off in Smith-Schuster's numbers wouldn't be proof of anything? You were making excuses for his numbers declining before the season started. It sure seems like you just don't want to acknowledge the impact of losing Brown on the offense in general and Smith-Schuster in particular.

The bottom line is he's not producing like a No. 1. It's not about slamming him. It's about understanding just how much losing Brown hurt that offense, something I've been saying all along while others look for any possible way to avoid acknowledging it.

 

It's pointless. You are not going to get through.

 

Juju has better numbers than brown this year so there’s that lol

 

Oh pleeze. No way in hell that 2017 team beats Packers with Rodgers, Colts with Luck or Texans with Watson.

 

2015 AB's numbers without BB

Balt 9-5-42
SD 6-3-45
Cards 8-3-24
KC 8-6-124


2016 without BB

Pats 11-7-106

 

2017 could easily haves been 9-7/8-8 if not for Boz. 2018 Boz was missing kicks he made in 2017 and we didn't make the playoffs. Agree totally with you. I hope and pray we win each game but I am convinced this team will not get anywhere a SB again with the current coaching staff.

 

Rather win with class than win with an ass. How's he doing lately?

 

Offense doesn't rank above 28th in rushing yards, passing yards, or total yards. Wonderful

 

Mason is averaging half a yard a pass and I think 5 inches In the air that’s why lol

 

I never said they did, it doesn't take away from the fact the pass protection has been good, no Ben or AB some new receivers of course the passing game is going to suffer.

 

No way in hell the Steelers lose to Seattle, Baltimore, and the 49ers if Ben plays them this season, it works both ways .

 

Man what are you guys whining about lol
