2017 NFL chatter, continued...

Saw video of AB walking...no bueno. I don’t know how he injured his calf on that play. I had same damn injury but I am 12 levels below a world class athlete and was wearing bad shoes (without my insoles), has ran a XC practice then played a long game of full court basketball. It popped and it sucked. Brown walking like I was for a few weeks.

I honestly do not see him being effective before the Super Bowl. The bye gives his rehab a chance to be ready by the divisional round...but I’ll believe it when I see it. If fortunate to make AFC Championship I’d wager on him trying to play but reinjuring or just being totally useless. IF the Super Bowl happened for the Steelers I could see his elite conditioning and top notch rehab making him a viable on the field player...but not the AB we know.

I hope he makes me look even dumber than I am.

In the most predictable news ever...the Patriots pick up James Harrison

Steelers:

12-4.

Division champs

First round bye.

Impressive season but without the home field and AB not 100% Idon't see a SB title so I look to 2018 as the window is closing quickyl.  Bellneeds to be in camp even if he gets very few snaps in preseason games.

Harrison leaving....he didn't want to be here with his limited role which sucks.....he is a Steeler through and through. Still believe the NFC wins it all but if not I guess watching him get a ring will be an acceptable result.

Acceptable result? lol

He has two, and he went out like a whiney bitch. Later James!

yeah he was a whineybitch.  Falling asleep, trying to get released but if the Steelers don't win it I'm okay with him getting another but I am on record believing the NFC takes it this year.    

I don’t condone how Harrison bitched or that he bitched but I do understand him wanting to play and be out there. He crazy. His wiring probably keeps him from understanding or being rational about his field time. I thought he was done when he went to the Bengals and did little.

Same and I guess it was too much to ask for him to be professional about it all.   Workout warrior but just didn't have it anymore.   Maybe if he would have conducted himself better he may have seen a few more snaps to prove he could dominate......or not.

Precisely. He was a great player for a long time, but was past his prime this year and couldn't get on the field. So he whined until he got released and immediately signed with the Pats. Fuck him and fuck them.

All of this whining coming from the Pittsburgh fan base is comical considering most didn't seem to have an issue signing Joe Haden. One of your team's washed up sucky players left for a rival just like one of our team's washed up sucky players (Haden) signed with the team you root for. Shit happens. I was kind of pissed when Haden left, not because he was still any good, but because it was Pittsburgh. Harrison essentially did the same thing.

Haden looked pretty good holding down Hopkins!

So the Haden and Harrison situations are the same? 

LOL....Haden is 10 years younger, cheap, and still plays meaningful snaps.

Every one wants to end up on a winner.  Haden.  Harrison.  Charles this weekend begging to get released from the Broncos to sign with a playoff team.   I don't have an issue with Harrison signing with them.  I just have a problem with him being a bitch all season internally.   When he plays in the SB I'll be pulling for him over the NFC team

+1, the hyocrisy makes you laugh.  I also find it funny that the same organization that develops scumbbags is shocked that the same person is now a scumbag directed at them.  Very ironic.  

I don't think anyone is shocked. Harrison has been going to the beat of his own drum since...forever. 

As expected BR and Bell won't play against the browns.  Landry jones will get the nod with little help.   I would not be surprised if JuJu doesn't play much either.  Just hate losing to Cleveland!

So 2 weeks off before facing the Jags I presume with that stout defense.

They really aren't playing?  Forgone conclusion that the pats won't lose I assume.

Pats will embarrass the Jets. I know Gronk gets a $2mil bonus if he has either 11 catches or 116 yards. He'll outscore the Jets on his own.

I hope Pats lose and then Steelers lose and no team ever does this again. Teams with a bye week shouldn’t take week 17 off

You think Kraft or GM puts a “don’t let this happen”

I don't think Tom is very happy with the organization these days, I can see him doing his best to feed Gronk the ball as an FU to them.
