From what I can remember.. Not ONE bubble-screen was called in yesterday's game :thumbsup:

Maybe Arians has been browsing through Steelers Universe these past couple of weeks

There was at least one thrown to Ward...didn't work. BUT the short stuff kept sucking the DB's up, just as it's supposed to do...

That pick Ben through at the end of the first half looked awfully bubbly to me.

There was one thrown to Wallace in the 2nd quarter, where Ben threw it ahead of him so that he could get a running start. Picked up about 7 or 8 yards on it.

Ben looked like had 4 bottles of bubbly before he threw it........right to the DB.

I think that was the receiver's fault actually. Clearly a miscommunication.

Still, some screens were thrown

I liked the screen pass to Redman that went for about 9 yards. I wish we threw more of those to be honest.

Wasn't the INT a bubble screen? Can't remember...

I didn't record the game so I don't know for sure, but on that INT bubble screen before half I know we had 3 WRs on that side and only Finnegan was over there. And I didn't see a safety over there either. The Safety could have been deep, not sure. Basically I'm saying Finnegan could have easily been blocked and who ever the screen was to, Wallace I think, had a shot to really make something happen. Unfortunately Ben threw the ball way too far out in front and it was picked.

Yes. Ward was out front, Wallace to the sidelines and Sanders was looking for the screen like the intended receiver was, but Ben threw it out front of Ward and straight to Finnegan. It likely could have gone for 10-15 yards IMO.
