Steelers Looked Like A Dumpster Fire!

The answer is simple and even as a Bengals’ fan I can empathize because Cincinnati has had the exact same problem before.  The Steelers run most of their offense on timing whether running or passing.   When players are executing perfectly it’s a beautiful thing to watch but when execution breaks down it becomes a hot mess.

I think it is also very safe to say Ben Roethlisberger is injured. He’s throwing off his back foot, he’s not mobile, and his legendary ability to extend plays is gone. When timing is off and the ability to extend plays is not there, the Steelers’ offense will sputter and choke.   If Pittsburgh is going to win one of their last two games they’ll have to do it run-heavy.   The rushing game requires timing but not near as precise timing as the passing game.

Have you ever seen Stevie Wonder's house?!  

Neither has he!



I've said the same thing about Ben for a while.  At his age, I wonder if he can recover.

Even if he can, would he be able to return to the level of extending plays and then making long throws when the coverage breaks down?  Will he be fast enough to follow a college girl into the bathroom before she can lock the door on him?  All questions that the Steelers and their fans will need answers to because that's how he made his money.

I hope he can at least put up decent numbers to Johnson this week to win me a fantasy title!
