Bruce Arians don't let

[Steel]

the door on the way out. Your play calling is horrible and you have no clue what you are doiong. I don't care if the Steelers go on to win this game. He sucks dick and hbas cost this team all season. I actually don't think our offense is that bad its hii dumb ass that is holding this team back. I hope they chop his head off at the end of the season. And if it ends tonight I say cut it off in the locker room.

Agree... Balt playing 3rd string DBs and they keep running it up the middle with Parker. pathetic.

They have to kick him to the curb, he is horrible and has hampered this offense all season.

Without a doubt one of the worst offensive playcalling games I have seen in such a big game.

Watching the game with my father in law and after a couple of series I said to him watch on first down it will be Willie Parker up the middle and get 2 yards. Lo and behold on first down what happens Willie Parker up the middle and gets 2 yards. If a moron like me on his couch can call the play time after time on first down don't you think the Ravens defensive coaches can figure the same damn thing out? I think my father in law got tired of me saying the same thing on first down everytime the Steelers had the ball but most of the time it was correct. Arians called that game like he was trying not to lose instead of trying to win. When it was 13-0 they should of buried the Ravens, instead they allowed the Ravens to get right back in that game. Pitiful playcalling and this is from somebody who won their play on the Steelers

Pitt had to depend on a rookie QB to make a rookie mistake to beat a team that is about as offensive minded as a priest. Pitt should have burried Baltimore. If they play like that against Arizona, they are going down.

Could not agree more.. How about trying the hurry up every once in awhile .. Pitts offense is in slow motion.. They hit the line late ..snap it late..and the flow is at a crawl.. ran it up the gut on first down EVERY series in the 2nd half.. Then to run Willy up the gut TWICE with 6:00 minutes left up 2 was unforgivable.. Paying Ben big bucks to throw it on 2nd down in crunch time not hand it off.. Sink or swim with Ben.. Defense has hidden the warts .. Punter also getting saved all year by the defense .. With a good punter and a good offense it would be scary how good this defense could have been. On the field all day and average start position for the other team is around the freaking 40..

If they dont kick this jackass to the curb something is wrong. I am applying for the job as we speak. May be a bitch to get my wife out of Cali but my bags are packed.

I guess you have never heard that when someone gets fired they had their head chopped off. Nac, stop stirring the pot and find something to do with youself. You can start by staying out of my threads or sticking to the topic that I have started.

Hate to be the one breaking the news, but Ben has called the plays the majority of the season.

Willie ran hard and was instrumental in winning the baltimore game. It kept the baltimore front 7 and ed reed off balance and kept Ben upright for most of the game. Also ate clock and allowed for deep playaction. There were some huge plays just missed in the passing game.

Willie will be huge in the SB as well

Ben may change some plays at the line but he calls none of them... As for Willy did run hard but 27 carries for 47 yds just aint cutting it.. 10-12 carries to many IMO.. As for keeping Ben upright it would be a little eaiser if it was not 3rd and 7 or 8 every series after two jams up the gut.. Its not that hard to figure it out the defense has covered the offense all year.. Just like in the Raven playoff game.. Each unit scored 1 TD.. You cant jam Willy up the gut TWICE with 6:00 left in the game IMO from the 40 yard line with Ben at QB under any circumstance.. Pitt won despite the bad play calling IMO not because of it.. If Willy goes off Pitt almost unbeatable but when he is getting shut down .. Move on.. Like I hope Arians is after this year..

Well said, a lot goes into being a offensive cord. and its not always the play calling. The schemes that he has set up are almost high schoolish. If he isn't gone by the end of the season I will be surprised. I am willing to bet that they already have someone else in mind.

Ben has 100% control of this offense on gamedays.....27 rushes are HUGE, critical. The offense has evolved over the season to adjust for the lack of experience in the O Line.

The ravens have a dominant defense, and the steelers did exactly what they wanted, when they wanted. A running game is not always measured by yards per rush, or total gained. Ed Reed played entire game on his heels, not the usual attacking style which propelled that defense, and all becauseWillie showed a burst and the ability to pound up inside, eat clock and keep the front seven honest.

If Sweed falls into endzone with ball, game is a blowout. Add in that your slot WR watched nearly the entire game from the sidelines.

This offense was slow to adjust early to midway this season because they had skill position playmakers, with a wide open attacking, vertical passing game, and an offensive line that was practice squad at best. Arians and the coaching staff were like Ben, a deer caught in headlights. They had to radically change the passing attack, protection schemes, and formations, to wait for the O Line to catch up.

This offense is night and day from the beginning of the season, and that has to do with coaching and Ben.

They have started to jell over the last 6 weeks or so.. Still if not for the defense the conservative playcalling of Arian's would have bitten the Steelers in the ass last week.. There is nothing anyone can tell me to justify running the ball up the gut 27 times for 47 yards is productive for the offense.. Sure you must run it to keep the defense honest ( Please enough of keeping Reed on his heels .. he is NEVER a factor in the running game).. But you pick your spots.. IMO I fire Arians just for runnning Willy up the gut twice with 6:00 left .. Pitt is paying Ben big bucks to pass the ball not handoff at crunch time.. Also Ben may control 100 % of the game he calls ZERO plays besides the ones he changes at the line of scrimmage.. We shall agree to disagree.. That being said I have a gut feeling the offense will flourish a little this week vs a very very suspect secondary and some warm weather.. Offense has played in some brutal weather the last 8 weeks.. Can only hope the defense can hide the offense and punting game for one more game.. Its time the offense steps up and takes care of the defense for once and not make it another close game.. Your right about one thing they SHOULD have blown out the Ravens but once again the offense left them in the game .. That happens when you get 60 offense plays a game on the average and 27 of them net 47 yards.. Bottom line this offense is ranked 29th with some solid playmakers at the crucial positions and all of it can not be layed on the offensive lines feet. They have a part in it but the O coordinator and Ben have to take some blame also.. Mostly Arians IMO.. Pitt hs been in 3rd and 7 all year long for the most part especially vs good defenses.. I can call 75% of the plays from my couch before they run them I am sure defensive coordinators can do the same from the sidelines..
