Do the Steelers throw the ball way too much?

40 Pass attempts in high winds.
Redman 92 yards rushing.

The offense needs to pound the pigskin and get back to controlling the clock and managing the game. Start throwing the ball all over the place only when necessary.

 

A lot of times it depends on what the defense gives you.

 

no we don't throw it enough

 

I agree, but I think we need to run more in the red zone.

 

Yes, thanks for asking.

 

I don't think this game is an example of that. Look at total rush yards, not just one player's. We had something like 160 yards rushing if I remember right. Take away the 2 anomaly Redman fumbles and the games probably less of a nail biter.

 

well today when it was 3rd and way long, Ben was throwing. Most teams just run it.

 

I dont think us passing too much is the problem. Its been said 100 times... the prob is situational playcalling.

 

im tired of the same freaking plays week after week. Its the same ****. Run up the middle, bubble screen or quick slant.

 

I'm more concern about our redzone offense. I couldn't believe the plays that were called. I figure it was just to get the ball out quick but BA can't design something better. A fade to 5'11 Ward? Ward hasn't been apart of the offense for weeks. A slant to Wallace? when was the last time Wallace caught a slant? How about our 6'5 TE? our how about the other TE who is suppose to be a pass catching threat......just wondering.

 

Some games we throw way too much, but most of the time it's a matter of the wrong plays at the wrong time.

 

Yup. I'm fine with us throwing 40-50x a game as we have the personnel to have success with it. The problem is the way we are passing. Seems to be no plan or strategy.

 

It is always some sort of problem with the offense in play calling, game plan and BA in general. My answer to the question is yes, they throw it to much. The formations suck, and the red zone efficiency also sucks. On top of that our kicker is very unreliable. If they throw it a lot in the playoffs and they lose, BA will be on the hot seat!! Hope its his last straw.

 

Is a frogs ass watertight?

 

:lolsign: I don't know, is it??? Learn me somethin'

 

Now that "der" was funny.

 

The topic of your Thread reminds me of my days watching the ThunderCats, the symbol just went up in the air and now the Bruce Arians haters are coming.

(those that watched ThundrCats back in the day know what I'm talking about)
