    In an article by Bob Labriola it is broken down in clear and concise terms going back to 1992, Bill Cowher's first year when the Stwelders have won at Arrowhead they have run the ball, run it effectively and did it consistently. If Bell goes over 100 yards on Sunday the outcome looks good.

    He also offered up this small tidbit for those of us who didn't know already how bad Ben's bad day was. The 3 redzone passes that left everyone scratching their heads about and calling for Haley head on the first drive of the second half. Yeah they were in the no huddle where Ben alone calls the plays. So even before the pick 6's he was having a bad day.

    So here is hoping we see the three headed monster this Sunday. Bell, Conner, and Watson with Nix and DD leading the way.

    I thought you meant “street walkers”, but “street welders” sounds exactly right for the city of Pittsburgh.

    But seriously: here’s hoping Gilbert’s return shores up the O-line’s play.

    (And I’d love to see analyses where the fourth quarter (or the last ~10min) was excluded. That slice of time typically is skewed toward one-dimensional offense, depending on the score.)

    This is too obvious, but old Todd Haley will dial up 50 passes. When Ben throws less than 40 times a game the results are amazing.
