    I know everyone loves to blame the coaches but from what I’ve seen on the field today, the coaches can't control those mistakes the boys were making. Ben taking sacks when he could have gotten rid of the ball, Brown not holding on to the Ball, time outs being taken when Ben could have just called up his own play. Bottom line is we STINK and Bell.....I'm not impressed at all with that guy. He is not explosive at all. Every First down seems like a touchdown to me because we struggle so hard to get them. The only one on the team that's playing with everything he has is TROY. I love Ben but the guy is getting slowER! The offensive line is just a picture of our imagination because they do not exist. Every time Ben takes a snap I find myself saying......"wait for it, wait for it"....then BOOM, he's lying on the field like a dead cockroach. This team will not make the playoffs today, tomorrow, next year, or years to come with the way things are going. I just don't know anymore BUT before all of you "I Love the Steelers More Than You", state that I'm jumping ship...I'll never do that, I’m just sharing my thoughts with fellow Steeler Fans.
    That is all and thanks for your attention, now where did I leave my beer?

    I was hoping that Bell wouldn't be another Worley but we seem to be missing on all the draft picks the last 5-6 years.

    I don't understand this at all. Bell has played a handful of games. In those games, he's looked far and away our best running back. He's also a rookie, so mistakes are going to happen. But generally, I can't see why people would be down on him.

    It's not about him being a God and without criticism, it's more that people jumping on a rookie after, what, 3 games of play is just not an informed move.

    I already saw what Bell is about, he doesn't like pass protect at all, in fact he ran buy a guy he was supposed to block before pulling out to the flat but he whiffed on purpose. If you say well maybe he was supposed to just run out to the flat then I invite you to watch the replay when it happened, you'll see Bell's reaction when he saw Ben get hammered, he knew why that happened, he is an average back, he has skills but I don't like how badly he missed that block, I want to see if Tomlin notices this and sits him...I doubt it. I think AB needs to be sat down, there was still a chance until he dropped the ball, a dropped TD against the Jets and 2 big ones yesterday, this team needs help.

    I'm not a hugh Bell supporter but the guy is in his 3rd game of his career. And you want to sit on because of a miss block? That's the case the entire oline should sit. AB is a number 2 receiver. But without him we would not been close in any game this year.

    When you're down 14-0 and 21-3, it's kinda hard to establish a running game, don't you think? Bell is going to be fine. The thing that worries me about Bell and our other young players, JJ, DeCastro et al, is that they don't have a coaching staff that seems to be able to coach them up to the next level. That starts with the head coach!

    It's simple, he hates the ground game and wants to pass on every down, it's not that Bell sucks, which he doesn't of course, its that he WANTS him to suck.

    Blame Bell, are you serious??

    When you get down 21-3. You have taken the running game out of the equation.

    Bell is just fine, he was one of the few that showed up to play yesterday.

    You should tell Haley that because he still insisted on trying to establish a running game and it was infuriating. It was obvious with that line we couldn't run. Gannon kept saying how we needed to run and I was screaming about the o line at the tv.

    Pass on every down? Did he really say that? If so that's just silly.
    I'm not so sure alot of this talk around here isn't nothing more than trolling.
