The other part: Poor coaching decisions...and to a lesser extent "injuries".
Either Ben grows up and gets behind Haley 100% or one of them has to go.

Joe Starkey of the Trib-Review says Ben definitely is not all in
Ode to a rotten season
Quotes of the year
• “Haley‘s offense is not a big-play offense; it‘s kind of a dink-and-dunk offense.” — Roethlisberger, two days before the game at Cincinnati.
Roethlisberger said that only to me, yet I read several media interpretations of what he meant and how he said it. Amazing.
Just know this: If you believe that Ben is a fan of “Haley‘s offense,” you‘re delusional. Ben doesn‘t like Haley‘s offense. Period. That doesn‘t mean it can‘t work. Doesn‘t mean Ben and Haley hate each other. Simply means Ben doesn‘t like Haley‘s offense. Any other account of the situation is wrong.
