I don't mean to startle anyone, as it appears the apocalypse might be upon us, but the Jets have scored a TD.

No comment. Don't want to jinx your boys. 

I finally desire to sit and watch a Steelers game and the fucking Jets/Titans are in an endless OT game and stoppages…..and it’s on 3 different fucking channels. Meanwhile Steelers actually scored and whenever this all-time game ends I know they’ll suck.

Now it’s 4:53 and still not switched over to the game

Since game ended there have been 17 commercials and 2 plays of game….a Packers TD of course

Maybe I’ll find a baseball game

Congrats Justin! Helped the Browns out too.

How?

I regret to inform you that we're all going to die. Clearly the universe is imploding.

Man I’m not sure Steelers crossed line on that offsides…Romo in one it too……instead 17-10, could’ve been 17-14 Steelers

Ugh

Didn't look like they jumped ahead of the snap to me.  I wonder if the guy on the left end lined up offside.  Too bad they didn't have a view down the line of scrimmage.

No clue. If the Titans and Browns are in a battle for anything, Browns will have underachieved.

Probably a little early to project that. Was thinking down the line if the Titans are fighting for wildcards.

Pretty close but the Steelers got a slighter makeup call on the Watt trip of Rodgers. GB likely goes in for a TD there. Although the no call on the trip not likely as potentially game changing.

Man, I have to say I don't think I've seen worse 4th down play calls (or execution). Not sure if it's on Roethlisberger or Canada but that 4th & 5/check down to Najee Harris 4 yards short of the 1st down marker is like Groundhog Day. Same play, over & over. Didn't they do that last week against Cincy also?

In the end it didn’t much matter but would’ve like the opportunity lol.

Steelers o line is bad. Defense not stout…..and Rodgers is special still.

It’s weird. Early season I’ve seen so many teams around league going forward and failing on 4th downs in strange situations and today Steelers can’t block for 1/2 a second and the play was bad regardless.

Ben has been “quick, scared-footed” in the pocket for 5 years. Missed two big throws for same reason today that could’ve changed it. His fear of getting hurt has affected his throws for a few seasons…..and with a crappy line, he can’t move and a tough schedule. Could be a 3-4 win team.

I’m surprisingly at peace with it lol (but was irritated AF I missed their only good drive of the day because CBS/NFL rules)….I knew I’d get to see so the bad stuff

Tampa Tom's smaller hands having trouble keeping the wet balls on target.

It’s decently more difficult for every QB because no matter the hand size, the ball is slicker.

Correct, my point is that the smaller the hand, the more exacerbated the problem of equivalent slick balls is.

Fun little bit of trivia.

Wow: Quincy and Quinnen Williams are the first pair of brothers with sacks in the same game for the same team since sacks became an official stat in 1982, per @EliasSports #Jets
