"They were out played a lot of times and if you can’t score in the red zone then your going to play good enough to be close at the end." One of the reasons Ben is asking for a tall receiver is to have more options in the red zone! How can you say that Ben is a whiner only concerned about his own stats and then complain that they don't execute in the red zone? As far as your next comment... "That sucks because because Ben can’t keep his mouth shut." Am I missing something? I don't recall reading too many news stories about Ben running his mouth... William,

Ben isn't looking to share the blame or give the blame to another player. If anything its an observation. The Steelers throw a lot of fade routes to the corner in the redzone. He obviously thinks throwing to someone 5 10 to 6 feet tall is harder than someone 6'5''. Ward needs to understand this as does Ben. Also, Ben IS a LEADER. He never quits and plays to the whistle. He embodies everything the organization wants. That said Roethlisberger needs to learn what to say and how to say it. This all would have been negated if he would have said "Hines, Santonio and Heath have done a great job in the redzone this year but I think if we had someone taller like Burress, it would not only make the jump ball a bigger threat in the redzone but help those guys get open because teams will be unable to double cover one of them." That keeps everybody happy and the team moving forward. But Hines needs to understand this wasn't a shot at him just a QB looking for a big guy to throw one up too. It’s no big deal.

If Willie asks for a big fullback to help block, does that mean he's "dissing" his offensive line? This is a pile of media-incited bullshot.

I have loved the steelers for a long long time and still do but I don't make excuses for them. They were out played a lot of times and if you can't score in the red zone then your going to play good enough to be close at the end. They are a good team when they play as a team and I don't see that happening next year either. I can see it being a long season with lot's of hard feelings on the field.That sucks because because Ben can't keep his mouth shut.

Simple as that, and for the guy talking about Brady and Welker the Steelers hardly ever use a 5 wideout set and run 4 guys deep and bring the 5th guy across the middle on a simple drag. I mean that is New England's offense and well you can't have a linebacker on Welker. Wow guys Ben is just saying help me help you.

I'm saying you shouldn't belittle someone else because you lack the skills to find him when he is open.
