If Ben stays out of the jail, will offense be near top of league?

Just wondering..if Ben does stay out of jail, will our offense rival that of the Saints..seriously? Personnel wise, I think they have what it takes.

I cannot think of a team that has better wide receivers/tight ends in the NFL

We have.
1. Holmes
2. Wallace
3. Ward.
4. Randel-El
5. Battle
6. Heath Miller
7. And the guy that peed outside Heinz Field and got Jeff Reed arrested again.

I think we have a great Receiving corp. If we start running the ball better and improve on our rushing numbers from the past few years, the offense will definitely be something awesome.

I wanna see how the RB situation shakes down before I say whether or not we'll be one of the top offenses in the league. We do have a great stable of WR's/TE's and they'd be even better if we actually used play-action on a consistent basis. I'm not the type to say we need to go back to our power running style, but I do think we need to run it effectively enough, and use P/A consistently to take our total offense to the next level.

I heard the ravens got themselves a pretty good wr corp

As the OL goes, so goes the offense. When the OL was on, they were formidable. They can put up some points. I think last year left a bad taste and they are together yet another year.

I'm rather hopeful that the FO will keep its @#$% together and ride the Ben storm out. If Garland thinks he' guilty, he'll stall it til the next off season.

We can get another run out of this bunch, and I believe the FO is playing it that way.

Mendy is going to be great.

we have bruce arians. the saints have sean payton.

advantage... saints.

in the case of the ravens we beat them at the skills positions but they have the o- line and cam cameron.

advantage... push

Yes.

eh I dunno.....on paper it looks like we might...........but everybody thought we were going to explode after the 07-08 season as well......or at least be way better then what we got that year.....It was in fact the Defense that lead us to the SB though we showed a remarkable knack for winning close games

I rather not try to have to win shootouts with teams like the Pats, Saints, Chargers, Packers, Colts

Yea but the only difference is they don't have a quarterback named Ben.

Steelers will have big time offense if Ben is on the field
