Steelers vs. Bengals Game Thread - Merry Christmas Edition!

You have to bench him or they need to fire him. 19 yards passing.

 

That's his pride, f@ckin with him.

 

Ben looks done

 

Steelers suck. Period.

 

On a serious note; if Ben plays like **** the rest of the year, cut him, and leverage the farm for another QB ( Fitzpatrick, Wentz, etc) who can at least game manage, before we waste this top 5 defense.

 

Any sane franchise would fire their OC after this performance but this franchise...

 

Ben is out for the second half with a neck injury from shaking his head as if it's someone else's fault.

 

Ben is hurt.....he hast be hurt.....Otherwise I'm dumbfounded by his inability to pass more than 5 to 10 yards....I think the Ravens discovered it and other teams are aware now too.

 

Look at that photo then find the nearest barf bag and puke in it.

 

I don't know. They've been playing like this for weeks. It's no longer a fluke. I have little hope

 

What do we do in the 2nd half...Seriously

 

Because like you said predictable.

 

The few times they did run it was positive. Now, down 17, they'll abandon it completely.

 

I’d rather go to work than watch the Steelers on offense. Just putrid..

 

All of Ben's passes have been behind receivers, and he is afraid to hold onto ball and throw deep.

 

You can blame Tomlin all you want, the players are the ones who turned the ball over 3 times.

 

I hate to say this, but it's probably time to draft a qb, for real.

 

His arm is shot. It couldnt withstand a season long of throwing after the surgery.

 

I’m stunned. I’ve never seen Ben look as bad as this and I’m a Ben homer.
What is his aversion to throwing to Claypoole all of the sudden? Enough with the quick passes! It’s not the short passes, it’s the quick no setup pass. You have to run, hold onto it, and let things open up. In other words Be Ben!

Another offensive mis step from coach of the year. Why does the entire team look uninspired and why is Tomlin asleep on the sideline?

Time to say it. Is it the arm/elbow? Is he hiding something. Just not him out there.

 

The Steelers are now the laughing stock of the NFL. Get ready to be the b*tch of the Cleveland Browns. "Yessir....can I have another....?"

 

They certainly deserve it. Solid product they put on the field.

 

This is what I said earlier tonight. Just sit Ben. Rest him for the rest of the season, let his arm rest, let his knee rest, let his brain get refocused to where it was earlier this season. Then make a run in the play-offs and see if there is anything left in the legend. Its never been more clear that he has nothing left. I hope he proves me wrong in the 2nd half, but we've seen nothing to indicate this was even a possibility.

For the record, I will be SHOCKED if he is sat at all.

 

Wentz wouldnt be a bad option tbh.

 

Notice how the Saints had a backup plan for Brees. Guess the Steelers were too smart to do the same.

 

Ben has played like sh!t since the Dallas game. he is hurt, and he's hurting the team. I'm all for giving him a series. If he moves the team, leave him in. Another terrible three and out, pull him and go with Rudolph.
