But then, Ben has looked fat for a while now. He's not quite to Pillsbury Throwboy level yet, but a couple more binge-eating sessions spurred on by the depression of losing the way he did tonight and there's nothing he can't achieve.

Well, JuJu Smith-Schuster was bracketed all night, and the other WRs had a lot of drops, and Ben Roethlisberger kept overthrowing deep, so the offense didn't do much because the defense didn't have to stay honest.

showtime Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 I just watched some highlights. I'm really happy for Phillip Dorsett. I was a fan of his when he was at Miami. Great to see him doing well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VigilantZombie Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 To answer the question about Ben and JuJu without AB, just fine. What happened tonight had nothing and I do mean nothing to do with Antonio Brown not being on our roster. One teams coaching staff prepared their team for this game, created an excellent gameplan, and executed it. The other did not. Sadly it REALLY IS that simple. I never thought we would win this game. I didnt think we would skip the flight to NE and just stay back in Pittsburgh though. The entire team looked awful. There's a lot of new pieces and they clearly were not working well together, the gameplan or lack there of sucked and we were not prepared. You CANNOT show up against the most dominant AFC team in the league and play JV ball. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way NE played Pittsburgh last year was clearly with the intention of taking AB/JJSS out of the game. There were plenty of plays where both guys were doubled, even. Taking AB out of the equation let NE bracket JJSS or have Gilmore take him man-to-man, without taking extra players either out of the box or out of their places in the secondary. It came up big in stopping the run, especially those counters that Samuels abused us with last season. It’s game planning, but game planning that was largely possible because there was only one big time threat on offense instead of two. On the field, they could’ve used Brown last night - look no further than any film of Donte Moncrief trying to catch a ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CKS97 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Everyone complained about the Warriors were bad for the NBA, yet crickets when people claim the Patriots are bad for the NFL Brady and Belichick have essentially made the NFL a one team league and people are fine with it? dynasties SUCK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Third Rider Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 I don’t think the Steelers defense was that bad last night its just that the offense left them out there to dry. Juju is good but it’s clear he can’t carry that offense alone, the guys that were asked to step up clearly did not. Specially moncrief who had like 5 drops and just 7 total yards, his contribution amounted to just inches worth offense. Ben looked over the hill too but none of his WRs stepped up to the challenge. Truth is and I know Steeler fans don’t want to hear this but they just didn’t have Antonio Brown to bail them out anymore. He could literally jump start that offense and that’s just not there anymore. They are not explosive. It’s week one but the Steelers just need to find their identity on the offensive side of the ball. Tomlin actually needs step up and teach this unit how to be successful.
