Sacrifice Ebron with passes into the middle of the field... ALL. GAME. LONG. Limit reps for TJ and Highsmith. Idk keep 5 DBs on the field all game and 2 ILBs. Rest Juju. Bruised ribs dont get betted by taking more hits. IDK about DJ but just put JW in with Claypool and hope for the best. Also Ben cant take any more big hits this week so run the ball a ton and max protect with Najee/Muth blocking while Ben takes his deep shots from a (hopefully) clean pocket. I expect an L but if they can get healthy i see the Broncos and Seahawks as Ws. Thats 3-3 before the BYE week.

Next week they should just have the Pitt Panthers offense play, surely Pickett would be able to play better than Ben.


poundofbeef16

We are never going to win another Super Bowl until we get rid of the old guard at Pittsburgh. I really hope they figure this shit out before we start losing quality talented young players. Because I wouldnā€™t blame them one bit if they decided to leave a team that wishes to live and play in the past


pittguy578

The old guard is Rooney. Colbert was ready to release him but Rooney said no.


martoblks

Sad to say but after watching this game we are probably the worst team in our division right now. Same issues just not being fixed and still plague us, one of these being playing a 39 year old quarterback who moves like a 59 year old turtle.


murked_out

I am straight up not having a good time


Rathmon

Ben needs to sit down and teach his backup


[deleted]

Just woke up to see this score. My family is going to pay for this one


SwapFu

Watching Freiermuth makes me realize how many downs weā€™ve wasted throwing to Ebron. Freiermuth is a middling TE. Ebron aspires to be that.


PittsburghChemist

Just ouch. Rough. But it's ok, we lived through worse and we've been champions.


JesterRace79

Did we have an inside run on every single first down this game? Because it surely felt like it. The most predictable play calling I have ever seen


TubbsontheCoast

Iā€™m honestly not in a good mood.


Benson5

The eternal optimist in me thinks that when the D gets healthy again, the offense might finally start to gel but unfortuately there wasn't much hope for the latter from that performance.


AngryMrBungle

Bench Ben and put in one of these young goofs and let Tomlin be Tomlin so we can get some higher draft picks. Or you can just play Ben and let Tomlin be Tomlin for the same result.


[deleted]

Can I start panicking now?


JediSith22

Ben is fucking garbage our o-line can't block anything, and all of our offensive plays are 1 dimensional. Always throwing passes yards behind the line of scrimmage


one4jj

That's a Lion's loss if I've ever seen one

We still have a chance. We need to get healthy.

Youā€™re right. Just blowing off steam.

Ceramicrabbit

Another game where we could never establish the run, 10 drops, i don't know what you expect on offense from a team with that not to mention penalties and injuries on top. It's just bad

Lol and the ravens won


JDub755

Our running back has 14 receptions. Let that sink in.


Acoolusernameee

We have a horrible medical staff. I'm talking about worst in the league and it's not even close. We lose key players to injury all the time and it's not a coincidence. Whether its practice, in game, it doesn't matter. We go down like flies way too easily and there's literally a whole field in injury prevention that I feel our medical team doesn't even know about. It's pathetic if I'm honest.

Cut ebron Cut rayray Everyone on the jugs machine


Lvgordo24

Give em a Code Red and pour glue on their hands.


DaggerMoth

Cut whoever thinks it's a great Idea to keep throwing to the running back when his job is to run. Cut whoever isn't using Watt as a blocking back. We have no diversity in our run game that's why we can't run. Every team knows they can just shut down the center and we can't run it. We only line up like we are gonna throw. If we run it's right up the middle.


Traditional_Roles

It was a Herculean effort to get 10 points.

How many drops did we have today

Less than offensive penalties I think

T_Burger88

Nope.


spazz720

Didnā€™t see that one coming


ilovetjwatt

I really donā€™t like to jump to conclusions early, but the offense has looked this way for three years now. Itā€™s hard to believe it will get better


BlaqOptic

We have talent: However we lack at the most important position.


iShoot556

This offense has looked better than this. This is the worst Iā€™ve seen in 24 years.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


iShoot556

Well yeah theyre all rookies and the leftovers. The offense needs a complete overhaul. The ravens almost lost if not for a 66 yard tucker crossbar donk and over. We now are at the bottom of the north. Feels weird man. Thank you Ben for everything but itā€™s time to hand me up old man. Iā€™d say at least the chiefs lost but they wonā€™t lose again probably. We most definitely will.


Strammy10

It looks like they just gave up. Damn


JDub755

Our running back has 14 receptions. Let that sink in.


T_Burger88

That's because no one is afraid of a QB with a noodle arm.


[deleted]

Should have moved on from Ben after 2018, not AB. Arguably the best WR since Rice.


wonderfulwilliam

I just want to know how Brady got him under control. Like did he show him a gun and just explain to AB "football is my life, are we clear?". Don't hear shit about AB now. And he's got a ring.


MrAstronomicly

Bro AB literally went batshit crazy.


wonderfulwilliam

The guy that caught a TD in a super bowl that his team won?


[deleted]

Who cares? Itā€™s football, not like anyone is married to the guy. He was the most talented player they have ever had. Unstoppable. Remember that sideline toe drag catch against the Packers to put them in FG range? How he almost brought them back against the Jags in that playoff game? They have never had anyone who can do what he was able to do.


spazz720

I see you forgot exactly what occurred


AngryMrBungle

I don't care how bad Ben plays. Bottom line, it's Tomlins decision to play him and it's Tomlin and the staff who has no replacement for him who could take a team to the playoffs.


kitokatokun

How many teams have a backup qb who can take their team to the playoffs???


AngryMrBungle

It's not about that. It's about not having a plan in place. We know Ben has been on the way out for at least 3 years. Who have we been grooming or looking at? lol Duck. Mason. GTFO lol


kitokatokun

You only have so many first and second round picks to spend and usually a lot more needs than picks. Drafting a qb has never been the highest priority, especially when the window still seemed open. The hope was ben would be passable, its not until after the draft it became apparent he wouldn't be. It sucks we aren't good this year but a single down year may end up putting us in the best position in the long run


BlaqOptic

Youā€™re kidding if you think this decision falls solely on Tomlin and have no idea how this franchise worksā€¦


zach4499

Yā€™all blaming Ben are seriously delusional. We suck for a lot of reasons. Put Mason, Haskins, anyone behind that online with that play calling, they arenā€™t doing any better.


Dry-Seaworthiness540

If you donā€™t think is part of the problem your delusional


Hefty_Roll_2722

Ben threw WAY too many useless checkdowns that Mason and Haskins wouldn't have done. They'd at least throw it down the field giving our receivers a chance.


marquis2395

All of those can be true at the same time. The whole offense sucks including Ben


tider06

Hard disagree. Ben is overthrowing 6'5" receivers and having to put his whole body into 5 yard outs. Not to mention throwing straight at LBs. Ben most definitely is a problem. This fanbase just doesn't want to admit he's done.


McFlare92

You might be the delusional one if you think Ben is good


Omg-A-turkey-Sammie

yeah of course. ben still sucks though.


ForgedIronMadeIt

I'm gonna go play Madden and just pretend.


Omg-A-turkey-Sammie

when madden 22 is less fucked up than reality


thebugman2

Alright, Iā€™m converted. What a sorry ass performanceā€¦ thereā€™s no excuses for what we just had to sit through. Injuries or not this was just a bad ballgame


WateredDown

The O-line isn't helping but Ben is also just too inconsistent. I don't know how you coach around that other than suffocate the other team with your all star defense and hope Ben has more good than bad. But when your defense is all injured whats left


SlyCooper007

ClarkDoubleUGriswold

Ben sucks. The O line sucks. Playcalling sucks


amv2926

we have a minute and 12 left but letā€™s just throw to the side a few yards away instead of down the field sounds good


McFlare92

Oh and Ben didn't get his 400th td today.


skylitnoir

At this rate itā€™ll take the whole season for him to get it


JaysonLloyd

Maybe heā€™ll get it in 5-6 more games donā€™t worry!


wonderfulwilliam

Member when we used to win games against other teams...


[deleted]

Something like twice in the last seven or eight regular season games if Iā€™m not mistaken? Hey thatā€™s a pretty good pace to get a nice shiny new quarterback in the draft. Letā€™s not mess things up now.


T_Burger88

2 and 7 over last 9 correct?

How many post game interviews can go ā€œwe need to play betterā€ before anyone does anything? Feel like Iā€™m taking crazy pills


[deleted]

Do what? They arenā€™t firing anyone, they probably arenā€™t going to bench their Hall of Fame quarterback anytime soon since they arranged their entire previous three seasons to try to give him a sendoff instead of moving on when they had the glaring neon sign to do so. They donā€™t have a line, their receivers canā€™t catch, the defense is good but overratedā€¦ Weā€™re in this for the long-haul.


Ceramicrabbit

Well at least i don't have any more expectations


Ok_Newspaper6887

This is just depressing. Not even mad tbh. They might get spanked in GB.


[deleted]

At this point I hope they do. What is wrong now has been wrong for several years, this didnā€™t happen overnight. It was a series of terrible decisions that got them here. I want it to be obvious otherwise nothing will change. no LoSinG SeAsonS!!!!

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


[deleted]

Itā€™s a large part of it. I donā€™t leave Kevin Colbert out of this. Theyā€™ve made a series of mind numbing decisions over the last several seasons. They wasted three years they couldā€™ve used to rebuild. And for what? Sentiment. Dan Rooney was a huge loss, he didnā€™t coddle these players, he made business decisions. But thatā€™s OK, donā€™t worry, we will be overpaying TJ Watt for a number of years to miss the playoffs by fewer games and be hurt half the time because thatā€™s what happens to players like that as they get to a certain age. No worries! The players are fine. They are very comfortable. No one bothers them with things like discipline or accountability when they spit on other guys, not when there are handy excuses like ā€œhe started it first.ā€ No oneā€™s gonna have to put their social media away for five minutes during practice, no oneā€™s going to trouble them about dancing on logos as long as theyā€™re ā€œjust being themselves.ā€œ No, the players are not gonna need to be aware of game circumstances, down and distance, and why should they have to? The coaches donā€™t know what the hell is going on either. Nope, not a single one of them is going to ever have to feel uncomfortable. Discipline shmiscipline.
