I don't care who was on the field. This win felt great.
i thought he looked better than leftwhich...once they decided to let him throw it after 20 straight dives up the middle. problem was every pass he completed they called holding. that being said lets hope hoyer stays aroundAutomatik;1329475 wrote:I want Batch....to retire. The dude is ancient.
I have close to zero confidence with either of them back there. I wouldn't mind at all if they threw Hoyer in next week, if he's shown he can grasp the offense. Not much else to lose.Gblock;1329478 wrote:i thought he looked better than leftwhich...once they decided to let him throw it after 20 straight dives up the middle. problem was every pass he completed they called holding. that being said lets hope hoyer stays around
Wallace needs to catch the one that he tipped up and got picked. No doubt about that. The one long pass, that is more difficult to stop and leap back.Gblock;1329484 wrote:our recievers especially wallace need to help him out and try to attack the ball more instead of just watching it get picked
It being a new offense this yaer I imagine batch still knew most of it, especially being this late in the season. WTIh that said...they didnt, and wont, open up the playbook for him either way. I guess letting hoyer play wouldnt cut the playboook down much at all. BUT..the game is in baltimore. Really want Hoyer to start?Automatik;1329490 wrote:I have close to zero confidence with either of them back there.

Reps to that cleveland fan. Would love for the Dawg Pound to get back to its former glory where steeler fans knew better than to go to the Cleveland games.wes_mantooth;1329420 wrote: when a drunk cleveland fan(also a female) walked up to her and said..."hahahaha....fuck you!" lol...our fan base.
At this point, why not? Dropping 3 divisional games in a row seems imminent regardless. Maybe Hoyer comes in and pulls off a shocker?:laugh:thavoice;1329500 wrote: Really want Hoyer to start?
Eh...hell...why not. What batch may have over hoyer in teh terms of playing in front of that rowdy crowd he def gives back in abilityl
They had no business running deep routes with Batch back there. He was throwing wounded ducks that would even make Colt McCoy snicker. His shorter throws weren't bad but the deep stuff was garbage.Automatik;1329501 wrote:I wasn't able to watch this gem of a game, but from I've read/heard Batch was garbage.
I think this will be a wakeup call for Pittsburgh to ditch the washed up QB backup crew.
Yeah, Batch wasn't stellar but their RB's did Pittsburgh no favors. Nice to see the defense force some turnovers.jmog;1329510 wrote:Why are some of the Steeler fans blaming the game on Batch?
What about all 4 of your RBs coughing up the ball?
Yes, the Browns defense made plays (big hits, stripping the ball, etc) but regardless after the first or second you'd think they would be covering up the ball better.
I just can't believe that they had that many fumbles from RBs.

I'll trade you patty fuckhead for Tomlin straight up. Hell I'll even throw in a hodges.Automatik;1329519 wrote:Who blamed it solely on him?
I'd say the entire team and coaching staff contributed to that suckfest.
I don't understand that either, regarding the RBs. Dwyer and Redman are similar players.Gblock;1329514 wrote:i agree...it wasnt batch's fault even the drives that they didnt fumble we were starting on the 10 yd line. when he did have a good play it was holding.
maybe now they will just pick a running back to play instead of not letting a guy get a ryhthm. ive never seen a team be successful by having guys sit on the side line and get cold and then come in and run the ball...they did it the whole game
Sounds like the Browns all of the past 3 seasons.Gblock;1329525 wrote:it also sucks as a running back when the other team knows that you are about to get the ball on a dive and they tee off on you every play because they have no fear of any pass responsibility
Exactly. Especially when there's no threat of a vertical passing game. When it's all dink & dunk, defenses can stack the box taking away both the run and the short stuff.like_that;1329526 wrote:Sounds like the Browns all of the past 3 seasons.
