    Let's not forget that as you age things go south!!! Vision, movement, range off motion, reaction time, arm and leg strength etc Ben is showing his age which is to be expected!!

    Your hair moves from your head down to your ears.

    Your chest rests on your belt.

    You have to start buying longer boxers to keep from scaring the wife.

    Aren't we saying the same thing? You lost me. Don't get a big head. It's not hard to loose me.

    I am saying Ben is declining. I think you can see it it in his play and his stats. Am I still losing you?

    If he struggles in Baltimore, you absolutely bench him. Make a statement.

    Those threads are locked to prevent this place turning into a flame war. You think everyone feels as you do? It's a very volatile subject.

    If your son put his life on the line for what the flag represents, then you shouldn't have a problem with people exercising those rights he help defend.

    Funny how they label people immediately, phrase their argument in a way that to have any other idea is automatically wrong and unpatriotic, use slurs against anyone who disagree...

    And then claim it isn't political. :facepalm:

    Once again. Rules. Are. Rules.

    It doesn't matter if you say something I agree with, or disagree with. It doesn't matter how sympathetic I might be to your concerns. End of story.

    Reddit, Twitter, Facebook, etc are that way ------> Have at it.

    I think the coaching is complicit based on a few comments from tomlin. I recall belicheat saying every year he always gives brady something to work on. I don't feel like ben has been challenged in the same way.

    Ben didn't play his best today but he doesn't deserve all of the blame.

    We're 3 games in and sitting at 2-1 not 0-3 guys. Come down off of the ledge and remember we have 13 games left in regular season to play.

    He needs to clean up his mechanics, father time rests for very few.

    Yes but he was going to practice and in some instances full throttle.

    As I have stated in other threads very few (and obviously LB isn't one of them) can miss training camp
    and expect to be up to standards expected of them. So he basically has stole money from the Steelers for the past 3 weeks.
    Thanks teammate.

    Ben has been on the decline for years. What made him great his first 5 years or so in the league was his ability to extend plays move from the pocket, run for first downs if he has to. Now he is too slow, won't move from the pocket, throws it into traffic or just takes a sack while in the pocket. He has been playing the last few years like he is scared of getting injured.
    What happened in this past off season is just what I hoped wouldn't happen, DRAMA. Ben talking about retirement. Then you have that ass wipe Bell pulling his **** all pre season. I would tell Ben if you want to retire by and thanks
    for every thing. Get someone in there that is hungry. Bell I would trade in a second. RB's are a dime a dozen. Its the SOS with this team.
