They weren't even TRYING to run the ball. I don't know if Ben is calling the plays, or if Ben audible-ing and changing the plays, or if Bens presence and influence are causing them to be pass happy, but whatever the case they just don't run enough. They do try early on but I get the sense that if they aren't dominating and breaking big runs early on, they get away from it and as such aren't controlling the flow of the game like you should.....especially when they've got a several score lead.  

I don't get to see all your games but I watch closely and it seems like it's been that way for years. At some point Tomlin should step in. Looks like they're in love with pick and rub routes. I mentioned this somewhere but with an older Oline and a great defense, you'd think they'd want to establish the run and let the Oline attack. Doesn't make sense to me. Steelers will make the playoffs but like you said they have to expand their offense or it will catch up to them.
