Until this mentality changes? We will struggle to win games.

Anyone remember the 2009 game vs Green Bay? The Steelers win 37-36 on a last second TD pass to Mike Wallace. Ben throws for 503 yards. What was the response in the media and from the fans?

"WHY DIDN'T YINZ RUN DA BALL MORE!!!!!!?"

Because you know, it was Ben's fault the defense didn't do shit that day. How dare he have the game of his career at the expense of making the defense look bad!

Cant really do much on offense when your line cant run block or pass protect long.

this o'line looked at its best when adams was playing, we seemed to run the ball a lot better with him in.

pouncey is good, decastro should be fine, but will his career be blighted by injury? foster is more back-up material, colon injured and should be gone, gilbert is soft...

We need at least two more starting caliber men before we see much improvement.
