It also helps the run game if run plays are actually called. How many were there in the first half?

I don't think we had the ball in the first half. The Steelers won the time of possession 30:00 to 0:00. At least, that was my impression.

No way should ****ing Erving be in the starting lineup this week. How long has Ehinger been back now? He has to be close to starting. Move either Witzmann to RG or put Ehinger at RG.

With a patchwork interior OL the game plan should never prioritize running the ball and never into the teeth of their D. Steelers weakness is their secondary as shown in the 4th quarter where we had multiple chances to win the game. Those WR injuries really messed up with a normally creative and pass happy Andy. I really think we should have gone max protect and took a few intermediate and deep shots to have their LBs back off at the very start. Later in the game maybe the LBs were playing a softer coverage and every play it looked like our WRs would score.

Smith needs the running game badly. He is not a player that can carry a team each week without it.

I'm not giving the "3 starters down" pass. Fulton has more career starts than Morse. Witzmann has more career starts than Ehinger and has proven to be a good run blocker thusfar. Yeah, Erving is a giant bag-o-dicks, but whatever. This team failed to execute on so many levels it was pathetic. Andy was as much to blame. When a team is crashing down on the run on 1st down as hard as Pittsburgh was, you gotta do some play action there. Andy/Nagy failed to run basic passing concepts against a zone defense as well. It was a giant shit show from the get-go. Team was shit.

We should be worrying more about our running defense.

We're soft.
We've always been soft on offense under Andy Reid. The defense had some toughness before Poe's back gave way, Jaye Howard went away, DJ started breaking down and Berry broke himself again. Soft. Hit this team in the mouth and they fold. Denver knew that and Pittsburgh knows it.

It's one bad game.
We only play 3 winning teams the rest of the year...

If you are only worried about our regular season record then your point is valid. If you want to take the next step and start being a legitimate threat to make a super bowl then we need to play better.

Steelers play the Patriots this year...so one of the teams competing for HFA is going to lose to the other.
Sunday sucked as it was a four game lead on Pittsburgh reduced to one...considering H2H tie breakers. |
