Our O-line sucks. It sucks. We have no runing game.
And we have Denver next week, and then Ndumukuh Suh on a short week.
Better call Suh Big Bubba on that thursday game, because he's going to have a little party with Bodine.
This team man, this EFFING TEAM.
Get ready for some more headaches. 1-3 is a definite possibility. And with Pitt and Balt on the rise (who can beat them on their schedules?), can we keep up? Really?

Yes, because a lack of a run game is what caused us to lose today.

Doesn't change the fact the steelers didn't get called for holding once, and i saw it at least 6 times, our O-line could be good if we was allowed to hold every play.

Yea the lack of a running game is what killed us. You have to be able to pound the ball on that landfill they call heinz field, especially when its raining so hard and making the garbage underneath the player's feet unstable.

To be fair, our run game does suck with two high quality backs.

Marvin's take : "We just need to play better.. We did some good things there toward the end, but didn't get there"

You didn't call anything. Anybody with a set of eye's can see that. AND..it has been a problem for years. Andy's fast release has always made the line look "top notch" when in reality it has been average.
Also, I miss Andre.

Actually, I did call it.
I made a thread saying exactly the same thing weeks ago.

What do you think was a bigger factor then Dalton being forced to throw almost 50 times because there was literally no run game...again?

Lack of run game has been a factor. You can only defend the big boys for so long. We have less than 100 yards rushing in 2 games.... Combined. Not everything on the line, but there are very few holes opening up. Did much better pass blocking though.

2nd straight week having a terrible run game. It's played a key role, and we could easily be 0-2 right now.
The o-line is getting owned. It's definitely a cause for concern right now.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.

What did CAUSE US TO LOSE oh wise one? I find it hard to argue that lack of run game wasn't one of the biggest factors. The didn't load the box, they had 2 high safeties pretty much the whole game to stop the deep play. Oline couldn't win their 1 on 1 blocks well enough.
