Take a seat, Ben

They had no real play-calling today and or QB play! Ben was an absolute turd today!

Love the overreactions. Yes, let's trade the entire team away. He made a bad play last week and he made a bad play this week. Ben is human. He's won us more games by himself than I can count. Ben was handcuffed by the playcalling again. The first half of the season I didn't have much of a problem with Haley's playcalling. The secon half of the season he's been awful. Ever since Ben came back its like Haley is still game-planning thinking Charlie Batch/Leftwich was starting. There's a reason we are the top scoring team in the NFL with 2 min or less before halftime.... Because Ben is let loose and is able to play his game and call his plays in the no huddle. He may have thrown inopportune INTs to seal the last couple games, but Ben Roethlsiberger is not solely to blame.

I'm sure the do have problems but we all know what two guys get all the blame and I'm putting it all on Ben's shoulders.

Not really. This team's scoring mediocrity during #7's reign prevents him from being top tier. Yeah, he's had some great moments, but the way he ended this year is truly disheartening.

Since you seems to know can you please enlighten the board on exactly what Haley's offensive staple is? Please enlighten the board.

EDIT: I sure hell have no clue

Its the nature of the position....The QB always gets to much blame when the team loses and always to much credit when the teams wins..........Something wasn't right with Ben since coming back from injury......But the OL was no help today and I don't know how people can't see that......I'm not going to crucify DeCastro either for having a rough game since it was only his 2nd start......But this what happens when the OC does call things so close to the vest...You let a team hang around and then mistakes come back to bite you in the ass quick......

I am in no way saying that he should be gone at all. We've just seen much better seasons from him even being handcuffed with Arians terrible playcalling.

Lol yes I'm the cock because fans overreact sayin let's trade Ben. Of course people can be pissed. I'm pissed. But making ridiculous comments like that are going to get called out. I have no problem with people calling Ben out, it's warranted. But trading him? Come the f*ck on. Absolutely idiotic.

Maybe BA wasn't such the problem after all.........Haley's play calling isn't any better really and Haley calls a game to scared......But Ben wasn't right today but still I'm not going to sell him down the river......The OL probably played their worst game of the season today.....
