OT: Haley at it again

[pittman71]

Mix up the play calling. Yes you had a few good running plays, don't run the ball every damn time, then get into a 3rd and long where the opponent knows you have to pass and will blitz you.

He did the same lunatic play calling in the last Baltimore game

 

[Delpanther]

Funny you should post that- because I'm here thinking the same thing. This offense is built on the passing game- pass the effin ball!

 

[bwh05]

How many WR screens can one person call in a quarter of football

 

[DUCEMAN]

Does it every game !! This game no difference.. Until they start losing..

 

[pittman71]

lol yeah forgot to mention those wide receiver screens

 

[Panther Parrothead]

One wonders whether the recent Big Ben interceptions is in the back of Haley's mind and is influencing the play-calling?

 

[pittman71]

another running play followed up by another tight end screen. Something strange is going on.

The Steeler game plan is very simple- who's playing the rookie QB?

I agree. Hoping for a bomb to Brown, but the pass rush is killing the Steelers. And of course, the rain.....

 

[Panther Parrothead]

Why wasn't that Bengal ejected? He came onto the field still wearing his cape - and he shoved the Steeler! WTF?!?

 

[Delpanther]

I don't know how this game is going to go but this game is Indicative of Fathead Ben recently in big games- he looks like crap! No offense whatsoever

 

[PittPoker]

THIS IS AWFUL!!! GAME PLAN SUCKS, BEN LOOKS LIKE A SHELL OF HIMSELF. YES IT'S RAINING BUT SO WHAT.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH BEN?

 

[Panther Parrothead]

Neither team wants to make the crucial mistake. The conditions are dictating the play.

 

[passedout]

Thats right parrothead. Its raining and Cincy D thrives on their secondary making big plays. They just hit AB for a 23 yd gain. There will be more, but i like the plan right now in the weather conditions theyre up against.

He's supposed t be a franchise QB- you think this the way Brady would approach this game-rain or no rain?

Looks like 1 of Nutting's trash heap players he loves so much.

Ben just hasn't been the same QB lately. Masking an injury, maybe? I see him rubbing and rotating his shoulder more than usual, FWIW.....???

 

[passedout]

Big play is coming. 2 DBs down....

 

[Panther Parrothead]

Playing for the FG? Or will we see the kill-shot?

 

[Delpanther]

Red zone draw play?

 

[Delpanther]

Another effin FG

 

[Panther Parrothead]

Had Brown wide open....and missed him. Dammit.

 

[UPitt '89]

another running play followed up by another tight end screen. Something strange is going on.

The strange thing going on is that it is pouring down rain. Are you blind?

 

[Delpanther]

Had Brown wide open....and missed him. Dammit.

Gosh, the offense is supposed to be the strength of this team.

 

[PittPoker]

THERE IS SOMETHING DEFINITELY WRONG WITH BEN. IT'S BEEN LIKE THIS FOR 3 WEEKS NOW. IT'S ALMOST AS IF HE IS PLAYING WITH A CONCUSSION. HIS THROWS ARE LIKE WAY WAY OFF, NOT EVEN CLOSE AND BASICALLY HANDING THE OPPONENT A COUPLE OF FREE PICKS.

 

[Delpanther]

Have you noticed that that doesn't normally affect pro teams, particularly those who claim they have a franchise QB?

I agree. That last pass attempt could've very easily been a pick. It's happening too often lately with Ben: waaay our of the norm for him.

 

[PittPoker]

Well at least the Steel Curtain showed up today!!!

 

[Panther Parrothead]

Well at least the Steel Curtain showed up today!!!

McCarron is struggling with the wet ball. Must not have played in the rain at Bama.

 

[Delpanther]

Another set of $hit plays in the red zone....sheesh

 

[Panther Parrothead]

Another set of $hit plays in the red zonered zone

No faith in Ben. Too concerned about the turnover. We can win with FG's, as long as we kick enough of 'em.

Anyone else think the announcers are biased toward the Bengals?

 

[Delpanther]

Fathead with another draw play.. What a waste

 

[PittPoker]

FATHEAD WITH A NICE TD PASS FINALLY

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

The Stillers are playing a game against a young quarterback who isn't any good and you guys really can't figure out why the game plan is to not beat themselves?

 

[drunkinoakland]

And yet the two worst coaches in the Nfl, Tomlin and Haley win a playoff game when they missed their stud QB for multiple games and played with Fitz Troussant at rb. God, if these guys could coach at all they'd be undefeated.

 

[DT_PITT]

THIS IS AWFUL!!! GAME PLAN SUCKS, BEN LOOKS LIKE A SHELL OF HIMSELF. YES IT'S RAINING BUT SO WHAT.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH BEN?

You really DO go all in on every hand, don't you!

 

[pittman71]

first off that should have been a penalty on Shazier for helmet to helmet. Of course it was a fumble as well.

Cincy is going to go after Big Ben or Brown and try to put them out

 

[ncyajleel]

All I know is if this is an all star ref crew like Jim Nantz said, it doesn't say much for the NFL refs.

 

[pittman71]

Damn didn't take long for them to put Ben out. Wasn't dirty at all though, hell Ben caused that sack by running right into the lb's path.

Pittsburgh is finished now, even if they win tonight Denver will destroy them next week, with Mr. Jones leading the way at qb

 

[Delpanther]
