Yeah and that’s why we couldn’t run the ball.

The problem with our O is it isn't consistent. I love me some Big Ben and I know what I'm about to say may cause some angry responses. What makes Ben great is also what holds us back from ever being that skies the limit O we always hear about . He takes too many risks and is careless with the football ....he will never learn the live to fight another day philosophy. The early pick I can live with but the late fumble I can't. It could of been a game changer if they recover. He's been putting himself and the team in these situations his whole career. He should never take a sack on 1st down anywhere on the field especially RZ,yet he does.
We get too cute and we always did with Ben when a simple play is a better option. Empty sets inside the 5 when power football plays and formations would be better suited. How many teams do we see run PA on goal to go situations for easy TDs just because of the threat of a run....all the time,but not us. We have to try and be fancy. There are way too many times the simple play was the right play but we decided to try and fool everyone instead. I'm pretty much resigned to the fact that his biggest strength is sometimes the teams biggest weakness....There is a time and a place on the field to take chances but Ben will never be consistent with that notion....He is patient in spurts but then resorts back to holding onto and forcing the ball. He doesn't pay enough attention to situational football and his gunslinger mentality will always be a blessing and a curse.
All these things lead to a inconsistent offense....even with all that we're lucky to have him.
With a better D we would be better suited to deal with the mistakes but now with things in their current state we could use a less risky approach.

That's all true and after 15 seasons it can be frustrating at times, but for the most part, it sure is exciting to watch.
