It was mostly Johnson, JuJu, and Ebron forgetting how to catch the football up to this point. When we were on our win streak, everybody was saying that Ben was having an MVP season. Now, you want to get rid of him after one lousy game. Tom Brady threw those two interceptions his first game with Tampa, and everybody blows up the headlines. Same thing when Aaron Rodgers threw those two rare picks with no TDs when he played Tampa. But, Ben has a game like this and you're ready to trade for Stafford or quack Darnold. God, it's like the seasons with you people. Ben deserves a LOT of the blame for this last game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole trading for Stafford bit, thats our wishes BEYOND this season. Let's be honest even the regression of Brady and AR as he current is, they have more time ahead of them in the NFL than Ben does. We see a lot of regression in him and very little reason to be optimistic that'll change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFF Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Ben hasn’t played well over the last month...however I think people jumping up and down saying “Ben is toast” etc are a bit premature. OL, run game, drops all have been a problem, Fichtner as well. He may well be but a month ago, he was playing solid. Let’s see what happens ROS and go from there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, forget about us having a backup plan. Tomlin has no backup plan for whenever Ben decides to leave the game. Because, that's what it's going to take.

He was playing solid before they learned how to stop the short passing game and started forcing Ben into making more contested short throws or throwing it past 10 yards...and we have seen the results. There are a lot of issues on offense. Its not just Ben, for sure. But a $40M QB needs to be able to do more than he is capable of doing right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3rivers Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 because the opposition has figured out how to stop the short passing game because the opposition had no problems stopping whatever thought of a run game we try because we have an elite defence that is championship calibre because ben is older and not the scrambling mobile QB he used to be because ben picked the OC, he can't blame the OC for anything especially if he does call some of his own plays it's time for Ben to earn his $ and prove that he can do what it takes. I don't think he is capable anymore in the above scenario (too much to overcome) , the team falls with him at QB in these conditions unless a miracle in the run game and play calling occurs or if the defence can score TD's weekly and keep the field position favourable.

The fact is that Ben needs to realize his play is unacceptable but right now he has no reason to make improvements because he is the starter unless Injured. He could have 5 ints and 5 lost fumbles in a game, all returned for TDs and still wouldn't be benched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might have to fake an injury if it gets really bad, but at least then there is a 'reason' . I don't expect the OL to suddenly learn how to run block either, especially vs legit defences which is what they will face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jebrick Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 I think Ben hurt his knee in the Dallas game. Combined with his poor mechanics, his game has fallen through the floor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
