This is the offense we have to be folks. Even when our tackles are back. I know it sucks having Josh and having to be a run team. It does. But blame Brandon Beane for that. He is the one who built this receiving corps and then doubled down on it publicly. 

 

It isn't the coaches or Josh. These receivers are who we have. Every time this year we try and go pass heavy it is a disaster. We have to run the damn ball.

 

It's fine to be a balanced team and running the ball well, but against good teams, you need to at least take some shots down the field.  If you don't, teams are just going to crowd the LOS and take away Cook.  Good teams have already proven that to be recipe to beat us.  Luckily, the Steelers are not a good team so we have been able to get away with it.  But we can't run the same 3-4 plays over and over again against Playoff teams and expect to win.  Just find a way to stretch the field and get some of these defenders out of the box.

Pittsburgh conceding, not taking the time out

 

I can see their souls floating out of the stadium with the rest of the crowd.

Take a shot to who? We don't have the horses. It is very clear. The receivers suck. Period.

What a big, big, big win.

 

We all needed to be reassured that when this team wants to, it can win against anyone.  Absolutely dominant 2nd half.  They wouldn't have a TD if not for a fumble.

Jimbo Cook with 1200+ yards and counting after an 18 TD season.

 

Understandably in the shadows but he’s quietly and all timer 

He’s getting there. I’d put him at Travis Henry level right now

Brady still can't be so predictable where teams know you are going to run it. Use the short passing game as an extension of the run and get the ball into your playmakers hands for some RAC.

I think you and I have different standards for excellence.  Which is fine. 

 

I think we have different understandings of what we have watched.

I was at that game.  Most miserable sports-watching experience of my life.

I was driving back from Buffalo to NC - stopped to watch the game at an Applebees outside Pitt.  Most miserable Applebees sports-watching experience of my life
