offensive woes

does anyone else think the offensive playcalling stinks?you can't keep calling plays with 5 step drops when you have a defense that can apply pressure.absolutely no imagination.

The Steeler OC has to be one of the worst.  That offense cannot move the ball when it's necessary against good teams like the Giants.  It's as is if no one has heard of a 'hot' route and the coordinator continues to call plays that do not put them in a position to convert 3rd downs.  There is a reason the Cleveland Browns let him go, Ben hasn't looked near as good as he did under Wisenhunt. 

 You are right on.  Arians is horrible.  Long developing plays that get Ben killed.  The only coordinator that doesn't call slants, drags or outs.  His pass plays bunch his WR's in the middle fo the field opposed to spreading them out. 

The middle was wide open on the last two series to atleast get a first down.  He needs to be fired but I don't have confidence in Tomlin pulling the trigger.

Arians is one of the best offensive coordinators in the league.People who KNOW the game say that.Every time the Steelers lose like this it's gonna be Arians' fault.I saw plenty of three-step drops and quick slants.The bottom line is you can't expect to win-especially against the defending SB champs-when you turn the ball over 4 times and dont protect.

 Arians is awful.  One should learn from their mistakes.  He took the blame for the Philly beatdown and he responds to a similar style defense with what.....an equally ineffective effort.  Where is the communication b/t Ben and the WRs?  How about a "hot" read on the blitz.  Someone's open. 

1. STOP RUNNING PLAYS WHERE THE WR NEEDS TO RUN 12-15 YD ROUTE!
2. GET THE TE INVOLVED - look at what the Giants did on their TD with the TE when we blitzed
3. RUN A SCREEN PASS ONCE IN A WHILE OR RUN A REVERSE
