If they do, then it’s been a good game. Not sure if you’re impressed with the 4 TD performance by Ben, but it got him the AFC Offensive Player of the Week award, so overall, a pretty good performance, particularly given the weather conditions.<br /><br />http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/11/20/roethlisberger-wins-afc-offensive-player-of-the-week-award-2/<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-14521860541539177642013-11-20T14:22:29.489-05:002013-11-20T14:22:29.489-05:00Sounds like hipsters are watching football now. *s...Sounds like hipsters are watching football now. *sniff* "I suppose you think your four touchdowns are impressive but your WPA and ANY/A tell a whole different story."Noelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-64661828993777478202013-11-20T00:54:01.768-05:002013-11-20T00:54:01.768-05:00The run pass ratio was about 2-1 in favor of the p...The run pass ratio was about 2-1 in favor of the pass, but two of those were Roethlisberger scrambles.<br /><br />Completion percentage, yardage and touchdowns are useless stats?

If it even was accurate to begin with. Still, I like the idea of Cotchery / Sanders / Brown / Bell / Miller on the field over the 27th-string tight end and Mike Adams.<br /><br />Personally refuse to consider playoff possibilities until the Steelers are .500. Now I think they beat Cincy in week 15 to get to 7-7. (After splitting this week & beating Miami.) Then I'll think about playoffs.Anonymous Briannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-23931743122282586742013-11-19T16:09:55.088-05:002013-11-19T16:09:55.088-05:00Dale - Do you have a list of which plays were no h...Dale - Do you have a list of which plays were no huddle, and which where not? Completion percentage, TDs, and *especially* raw yardage are pretty useless stats. I'd like to run the numbers to compare WPA and ANY/A, which are much more useful stats.Dr Obvioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00966038406811006557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-76548930528317869442013-11-19T15:21:15.766-05:002013-11-19T15:21:15.766-05:00nice article dale. considering the fact the steel...nice article dale. considering the fact the steelers also cannot sub when in the no huddle, I would be curious as to how often they pass vs. run when in the no huddle.<br /><br />I believe the key to the steelers offense, other than the obvious of having the o-line block decently, is getting the ball to bell out of the backfield and miller. they both are matchup problems for just about any LB. additionally, it also presents legitimate threats in all three levels (WR/TE/RB) which puts a significant strain on the defense. imo, it just opens up the whole field for #7 to pick and choose.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-34540165305635986662013-11-19T15:07:47.046-05:002013-11-19T15:07:47.046-05:00They ran it 50-50.
