Short passing game against the Titans

It's not like there was a schematic reason as to why it wasn't working. Heck, Ben even had the time to use 7 step drops today. Doesn't always happen. It was a simple matter of not executing from one player, Ben. We know he can do it (even if he doesn't throw the best deep ball) and he already did it twice in the game.

If it's there, you take it.

This offensive showing could've put up 35 points if not for the timing being a little bit off.

I look at this game and think, "Our offense can be REALLY scary".

I understand what you're saying Chidi. But we almost let a game slip away over being " a little off". To me it's like a pitcher who's curve isn't working for a particular game. A smart catcher quits calling it that day, particularly if your lead is in danger of slipping away.

But to your overall point that it wasn't the Steelers that were having problems today, but just Ben. I think I'm buying, and like you I'm fairly confident that this was a one half thing and he'll have things worked out by next Sunday and be on his game.

Basically if Ben is on his game today, there's no concern whatsoever about today's game.

I agree. We had WR's running wide open all day long. They never did figure out how to slow them down...it was on Ben. He was not accurate yesterday, and was actually pretty awful in the second half.

Bear in mind, he was not accurate at any range. He missed the long ball, and he missed on the short and intermediate routes, too...
