Agreed, he had a bad game his first game back from injury last year, he needed this game, and the next week of practice...were gonna be ready for the scumbags next week, ben will be better, no way batch shouldve played...ben needed this loss, he hasnt played in a while and needs to get back up to a high level. 14 more games...starting with scum.

Ben REALLY better be better next week. I can live with him using this game just to knock off the rust, but if he isn't 100% next week, I will TRULY be pissed.

i think a lot of it too was on the WR and RB in passing situations. how many times did they not run a route long enough to get a first down on 3rd down? seriously that is poor.

You know giving what hes come back from he looked good, not real sharp but give him time, remember indy last year, first game back he was awful...then not much later it was a dominate win streak.

Combine that along with peculiar play calling on 3rd down and it all spells disaster.

Let me know what you guys think about it all

First problem I notice is your avatar! Super Bowl is over it's time to move onto the new season. Don't take this out of context because I'm not directing my comment towards you because I'm thinking after the Steelers win last week it may have went to their heads! Coming off the Super Bowl, then winning their first game of the season... I think they may have under estimated Jacksonville. I'll give it to Jacksonville though because they stuck to their gameplan and just went at the Steelers and wanted the game more!

I do like your avatar BTW, I was jsut using it to get my point across.

Our OL and running game are concerning me right now. It just looked horrible. We couldn't establish the run at all.

Running game...agreed. We only ran the ball 13 times, and that's not Steelers football. They got away from the gameplan last night, and then had to play catch up.
