    And if we would have attempted to throw the ball all over the place against a defense known for TOs and lost, then you'd be saying, "we have the best RB in the league and why didn't we attack their poor run defense". They choose the correct path imo.

    Other than attempting to pass near the goal line, I was fine with the play calling. I didn't have any problems with the defensive performance.

    KC deserves a lot credit. I have never seen so many passes blocked at the line. They stuffed Bell more than anyone has in the recent weeks as well. Last nights KC team was not the team we played in Oct.

    I just hope all the FGs were practice for Boz next week. 6 TDs to go along with 6 FGs would be nice.

    The defense is playing strong too. I am glad to see them laying some licks.

    I know your passion, so I respect what you are saying here. I tend to say the coaches were conservative rather than scared. It was situational football. The offense moved the ball down the field and then became conservative knowing that a field goal was better than a turnover. Was I upset that two trips inside the 5 yard line produced 3 points? Absolutely.

    I agree with you on Deebo. Did you look at the snap count? They made almost no substitutions the whole game. Vince Williams had zero (O) defensive snaps. Is he is Tomlin's doghouse? My point is, come the 4th quarter, our guys were tired. The fog rolled in and the humidity level rose up. They left everything out there on the field. Hubbard played 3 offensive snaps.

    I am hoping that Ladarius Green will make a return.

    In Ben's defense he's suffering from a knee injury that will require offseason surgery.

    To know how wrong the OP is, just go to 2:32 and 2:00 of the 4th quarter.

    After that ST balling last night if Vince is in Tomlin's doghouse he shouldn't be for long. He was a maniac last night.

    Yes and if Ben wasn't escaping a sack, perhaps he would have hit him in stride but still a heck of a play by Ben.

    Yeah Ben was hit on that play then stepped up and made the throw on the move. He still made a good play. could have been better, but still good.
