So you're telling me that, if there's 8 defenders in the box, no safety, and the corners are playing tight, you're not allowed to audible to a streak to Antonio Brown?!  

That example is actually less stupid than Ben saying that he couldn't audible to a QB sneak!  What are they going to do when he scores?  Bench him?  What are they going to do if he gets stopped?  Bench him?!

Especially since the Patriots bunched the line to stop a QB dive, but stood up and didn't even move, so when Ben was standing in the pocket waiting to throw, he could have taken a step to his right and dove for the first (or likely ran it in for a touchdown), or stood up at the snap and done that from the start!

But there was more going on here behind the scenes than meets the eye.  The party line was that Ben and Haley were getting along, but apparently that was not the case.

At the end of the day, neither of us is there on a day to day basis, so we don’t really know what went into the decision.

"Who are they gonna blame now, Todd Haley's pelvis?"

Well, it looks like that's EXACTLY what they're doing with his firing.

Also, Ben Roethisberger is a rapist. Infowars.com.

When he fired Zampese (OC), after 2 games into the season, it was the FIRST time a coach has been fired after the season started and before the season ended in his 26 years as owner!!

I don't care who is the HC and what kind of players they have Steelers fans, as long as he is the owner, Steelers have nothing to worry about from them!!

Pittsburgh has more talent on the field than New England but the Patriots have a much smarter coach and that's the difference. Tomlin can't seem to beat the teams he's supposed to. The Steelers win in spite of Tomlin. He's the biggest joke in the playoffs.
