Ben, Wallace, Ward, Sanders, Brown, Randel El, Mendy...

... and the offense scores 0 TD's :pray::doh::huh::Cry::no: Which leads me to believe the Offense has not gotten ready for the late season / playoffs yet.

[Edman]

Essex, Foster, Pouncey, Kemo, Scott.

There you go.

[Doc]

Perhaps I should be worried, but I'm not.

Didn't we have a similar stretch in route to SB #5?

[fansince'76]

Essex, Foster, Pouncey, Kemo, Scott.

There you go.

Yep. If we ultimately fall short in the postseason, it's gonna be because of our OL. If they aren't holding, they're whiffing on blocks and plays are getting blown up before they even have a chance to start.

[Nadroj 20]

Essex, Foster, Pouncey, Kemo, Scott.

There you go.

You could probably take pouncey off that list, but yeah its the o-line that sucks.

[Butch]

Not just the o-line but some timely calls and non calls by the officials and what do you expect. If they call it on us call it on them too don't be so selective.

Like I said earlier Bruce is saving the wrinkles for the playoffs.

Pouncey (while doing a good job for being a rookie) is making rookie mistakes and miscommunications. Add to this Adams is old (for a starting NFL tackle) and slow . . .

Yeah, we're gonna get better when the talent returns . . . but it will be by the seat of our pants this year.

I saw numerous no calls and missed calls that kept the Bungles in the game the first half. I also noticed once again that they never show replays on penaties that are questionalbe calls. Huh I wonder why. Once again Ben's head is free game and hitting him late is not only okay but a blind eye has been turned to it IMO. With that said the D was good enough to pull this one out for us. Would have liked to see Troy take a knee on the last pick.

Agreed. I'm just afraid that they're gonna get Ben killed.

[Psycho Ward 86]

Lol that wildcat option with ARE and Wallace was kinda cool.

On the other hand, it could be a good thing. Better than peaking too early. Me hopes!

[SMR]

I concur.

[memphissteelergirl]

Pouncey is the only bright spot on our O-line. The rest of them play like scrubs on a under-500 college team.

:rolleyes:

[steelpride12]

The WR, and Mendy are not the problem at all. As you could see Wallace, ARE, and Ward all made spectacular plays and catches in this game and when Ben can get them the ball if he has time then they are outstanding players, but until the OL get's their heads out of their asses that won't be seen much. Fix the OL then you fix the offense.

[SteelerEmpire]

Did I also see a "flee flicker" somewhere in there today ? Or was that when I was on Madden 11 earlier ?

[Psycho Ward 86]

That was the most epic/underrated play of the game, if you're referring to the failed flea flicker where Ben barely got the ball out and lobbed it over to Mendenhall for a 1st down

[steelerdude15]

I never give up on anyone on our team and never have until a the Oakland game when it comes to our O-line. Other than Pouncey and Max, I really don't care for anyone else.

[Galax Steeler]

It just seems like when we get into the redzone we gets penalties that kill our drive. We have to cut out the panalties are it is going to kill us come playoff time.
