I have seen some suggest that this offense will be able to pour it one when it has to, but I'm not buying it. This is some concerning shit, boys.
Yeah it is. It's almost like they believe they can work on things that are issues (like the run game) and then flip the switch and go into a dynamic passing game but this O isn't consistently good enough to do anything like that on O. They need to put their best personnel out there and score early and often.
To be fair - I've seen the flip the switch.
It's letting Ben call sandlot route combinations in a no-huddle.
When they do that they move the ball. When they run the Randy FItcher (2 yard throw is like a run durp a durr), they get pretty easy to defend... especially when Eric Ebron's drops balls that he's literally standing still waiting on.

Oh well, we k ew they wouldn't go undefeated. I guess it's better to lose to a NFC team. On to Buffalo.

Nothing gets fixed until Tomlin Benches a starting WR!
I think Ebron has been benched.
Why haven’t I seen Claypool since the second quarter?

Down *both* starting DBs ... our defensive signal caller ... This is got to be a long clock chewing drive.

6 drops by receivers in this game. Ebron can’t block or catch. I’d start McDonald.

There were about 4 busted coverages there on one drive. Just awful.

Exactly sir.

In my dreams, along with the juggs girl, they take 9 minutes to score a TD.

Turtled or just incompetent play calling and dropsies?

It's amazing how much bad football we've watched on the way to 11-0
We had better games on offense when Duck was under center.

I say again.
What is that stat about Steelers being at home and up 14?
Atlanta tie in 2003 was it in like last 30 years or something?

Yep. I wanted the QB sneak at the half. Won’t bench a WR and won’t go for it. Tomlin is paralyzed by COY and perfect record!

Wide freakin open!!
That was layne's responsibility, yes?
I believe so because he was covering no one in the EZ.
Highsmith and Williamson both took the middle crosser. Not sure what Layne's responsibility was there.

Washington’s play design and play calling is actually far superior to ours.
Miles.
Coaching and play calling is what is killing this team.
Offensive scheme that uses 1st and 2nd down with a goal of getting to 3rd and 4.
Scheme, play design, deveption, is 32nd in the league

They have thrown the switch. Let's see if it works.

Ben is calling plays- I can tell because even if its a short throw - it's forward and the guy is open.

This. I would have a few plays down the field in the game plan for Ebron. But, otherwise, I'm rolling with McD.

WAS is just giving us all those 2-3 yard passes and tackling the catch. That's a win for the defense and they know it.

Ben comes back, Tomlin doesn't = CHAMPIONSHIP!!!
