Last night the Pittsburg Steelers were getting their heads handed to them by the Baltimore Ravens, in their own house. In fact, the Steelers' offense looked so bad toward the end of the first half, their fans booed them off the field.
Sound a little familiar. Pittsburg was doing their best to pound the ball down the Raven's throats. Nothing. They tried deep out routes. Nothing. Nothing the coaches sent in to QB Ben Roethlisberger seemed to work against the stingy Ravens' defense.
So, at halftime, big Ben went to his coaches & said, "Hey, nothing's working here. Why don't we go into the no-huddle shotgun & let me call the plays". The rest is history. The Steelers came storming back, and won the game in overtime. Instead of forcing deep balls to haughty prima-donna WRs who were double covered, or trying to pound the ball using a banged up Oline against superior opponents. They went with what worked, & they won the game.
The very same scenario could & should have happened in Dallas Sunday against the Commanders. Instead of putting in one of the most talented RBs in the NFL & getting him out on screens, or down the middle, where Washington was vulnerable all afternoon.
Watch the Steelers highlights & watch third string RBs take 5 yd. dinks and turn them into 50 yd. TDs. That's what we should have been doing, instead of trying to stroke the gigrotous ego of the biggest ME player in the game when you lose, and committing 1/3 of your offense to the jerk, only to have him throw the whole team under the freaking bus.
Come on, Garrett! If you want to run a team, you've go to show everyone who's boss, and do the things that win games, not kiss up to superstars. Felix Jones was needed in the worst way Sunday, Jason, and he was no where to be found. Hope you next move is a better one.
