WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT???
The video shows Ben sticking it in the belly of the RB and, if anything, it looks like the RB didn't expect it.

Of course Will Johnson didn't expect it...because the run call, according to Josh Harris, was to him, not the Johnson the FB.
So why would Ben be giving it to the FB?
Note I didn't say I believed 100% that Josh Harris is telling the truth...only that the video makes his explanation plausible.
What possible motivation would Josh Harris have to lie about this?

Be honest. Until he said this...did you even remember that he existed?

Hahahahahahaha now I’m really enjoying this!
I never watched that play in detail, but it is funny that Waste of Spaeth turns to the sideline and is basically saying what in the fuck are we doing the game is over!

Play looks TERRIBLY sloppy.
So, basically what we’ve looked like under Tomlin for years, so nothing to see here.

There was 1:09 left and Cincy had one timeout.
Three kneel downs and it's over.
Two if Cincy doesn't burn that last timeout.
So yeah- Haley/Tomlin/whoever was being pretty stupid there.

I seen the article. Wasn't gullible enough to click on it. Didn't want to give him the satisfaction of giving it a "click". Josh who? Next, he'll want back in the league and to play for only Oakland wearing one of these:

So the story goes;
1. Game is essentially over with kneel downs (as Jeemster points out)
2. In huddle, Mr. Tequila Cowboy himself calls a run play up 10.
3. Ben gets said run play and rolls his eyes.
4. Ben intentionally botches exchange to prove how fucking mindlessly stupid Todd Haley is.
Everyone, be honest, after seeing the explosive shit show that is the Steelers the last few months, do you think this could at all be true?
Haley is a stupid bastard so I actually would applaud Ben for this.

This is so fuckin stupid
1) Why would Ben intentionally funble? What would he have gained?
2) Todd Haley was a moron and that call is part of the mountain of evidence supporting that:
3) Harris said everyone in the huddle rolled their eyes at the call so if anything l, Ben was doing something for the team if this fumble was in some way a strike against the shitty coach.
Such a weird non story. Josh Harris needed some attention

In Necessary Roughness with Scott Bakula, doesn’t he intentionally throw a football at a coach and knock him out?
Ben should have done that.

Why now?
Pile on?
"Oh look ben so bad I have a story too"
Other point is, even if he did purposely give it to will johnson, that doesn't guarantee a fumble lol.
Also, true or not, what are we supposed to do with this info? Protest? Demand the team cut Ben? Trade him for a 3rd and 5th? Put Josh Harris in the ring of honor?
He's probably still embarrassed that one of his boys (either Irvin or deion I forget) was calling Josh Harris his boy or some shit and predicted a huge game for him against the ravens in playoffs. Maybe they're all tight with Human Garbage Brown. Who knows.

Jeemie I never once had a problem with anything you ever posted.
I cannot believe you are buying this shit
The reason he did it.....Look at me mommy look at me
He wants attention....He wants his ESPN interview.
He wants the spotlight
Do I buy into this shit...Not one fucking bit

The obvious thing here is some bum with 9 career carries is sitting in his house somewhere stewing about the fact that Ben fumbled a handoff that would have been his 10th career carry. Fucking loser. He’s probably got Springsteen Glory Days playing in the background.

Not that I really give a shit buy maybe he did do it on purpose. Why the hell were haley/tomlin calling a run play anyways? It was first down, cinci had one time out and there was barely over a minute left. KNEEL DOWN AND ITS OVER

Todd Haley didn't need Ben Roethlisberger's help to look bad.

Sure Josh Harris could be looking for attention since his NFL career lasted five minutes.
OTOH seems a strange thing for him to dredge up.

I remember being pissed that we even ran a play there.
Like what does this gain us? Fucking stupid and even more dumb by Tomlin to not say "we're taking a fucking knee and getting out of here". But potted plants and all that..

At that moment I knew what kinda person he was.
All one needs to know where this guy is going with this...
Ben Roethlisberger...Bad!
Antonio Brown...Good!
C’mon man....

Even if true. What's next? What type of action is supposed to occur? Or is this just feminine gossip (true or not) aimed at piling on a guy? Maybe as FC said to get some attention and interviews.
True or not, this guy is a gigantic piece of shit for doing it.
This was, 2014, only Tomlins 8th year as head coach of a professional football team, so he was still figuring out the knee to finish game math, algebra, trginometry, calculus, stuff.....while having the slide rule pried from his hands.
I believe we saw enough stupit stuff in the Mike Tomlin coaching mind to believe he may have thought we needed a first down to end the game.
We know the hate between Ben and Haley.
I would not throw this claim out of court and would not surprise me if Ben wanted to point out the continued stupidity of the dingbats calling the shots.
Will Johnson the closer when all we needed was a knee.? Wil Johnson?
If true...i don't blame Ben at all.
The guy has to be up to his eyes in the shit he has dealt with.

I think a more likely scenario is ... it was a truly stupid play call and when Ben and team heard it they rolled their eyes and didn’t really pay attention to the actual call. He screwed it up and handed to the wrong guy

Ben could just have, you know, taken a knee. It seems overly complicated to fumble, dive for it, and risk someone landing on you or spiking you.
“We are the stupidest fucking franchise ever.” — Smithessmokin
It was obvious he shoved the ball at Johnson. It hit him in the arm. Who knows whether or not he read the play call wrong.
How long had haley been OC in 2014? The look on BR's face when he got up was priceless. Like "What the fuck, asshole?" As did spaeth with his body language.
It tells me all the reports of them not getting along were probably true.
Social media now means everybody can chime in with what they know. Not sure Harris really wants attention. I don't think he cares. Maybe BR said something offensive to him or "didn't treat him with (enough) respect."

Sorry, this makes me like Ben more.
It's a shame the ball wasn't turned over so that jerk off Todd Haley and Mike Tomlin would have had to answer why they fucking called a run instead of kneeling the ball down.
The story here should be "Josh Harris realizes just how stupid it was to let an aspiring golfer be your offensive coordinator and how Mike Tomlin might not exactly be able to perform math based on a clock"
