Nice win by the Steelers


Rodgers and Metcalf are a good fit


Defense kept the pressure strong

Man Love was lucky that ball hit defender and hit ground immediately or that’s an L

Few thoughts:


1. Steelers sitting pretty at 3-1. Browns are already Brownsing, Bengals probably toast without Burrow, and Ravens are 1-3 and Lamar might be hurt.


2. Couple weeks ago people were ready to put the Packers in the NFC championship. Now they’re 2-1-1 and the defense looks awful. 


3. I’m surprised the NFL doesn’t get rid of ties. They seem to happen every so often. Everyone is miserable when it does happen. Do what the NCAA does. 


4. My fantasy team is 0-3. They scored 143 points today, however. Everyone had a decent showing. Yet my opponent has 128 points with Tee Higgins still to play tomorrow. So there’s a good chance I could be 0-4 despite that showing.

He’s horrible at this stage. The Browns will probably ruin Gabriel and Sanders, but there’s nothing to lose at this point. We have zero chance with a 41 year old who can’t move and is clearly not comfortable in the pocket.

Is Pickett still there?

Nope. In another great Browns move, they traded him before the season leaving themselves with the option of a 41 year old or a semi-promising rookie.

Pickett wasn't the answer anyway. Signing him and creating a competition was a mistake to begin with. They need to cut bait on Flacco and see if their QB is on the roster or not. If yes, awesome, they are in a great spot with 2 firsts and a rookie on a cheap deal at QB. If no, ok great, now we know and can use the ammo of those 1sts to go up and get who we want (Mendoza... LOL).

Prime Tom Brady wouldn’t be the answer either. But with a season the franchise had already given up on, he couldn’t have been worse than Flacco’s inevitable debacle. 


Despite a complete failure as an organization, I’m glad our governor has seen fit to reward them with $600 million in taxpayer funds to build Jimmy and Dee Dee’s castle.

Bengals need to just lose every game the rest of the way and draft Caleb Downs

Yeah I don’t think it’ll happen. Who would they even promote? The d-coordinator seems to be bad. Who knows if Dan Pitcher is up for it. And everything else in the organization from ownership, management, scouting still sucks.

I don’t even know if our new DC sucks or our defensive talent is that bad. Lou’s defense in Cincinnati was good when we had talent and last year under him they were awful. Now look at what he’s doing in Indy. 


What sucks is this team was actually set up well and just had to draft talent to replace talent as they left but the problem is 90% of the draft picks have been misses. Now the Defensive and OLine is so bad it likely can’t be fixed in one or two offseasons.

Well sure. My point is, Pickett isnt going to be the QB of the future, so he also isnt the answer. The answer is to play the rookie(s). If they show enough, that is awesome. If they dont, we move on in a draft we should be able to do some damage in.

I admittedly don’t know much about offensive line play. So maybe that could be on coaching and not being prepared on where the rush is coming from. But if you watch the clip it’s incredible. The two edge rushers are past Brown and Mims within a half second. It’s like a child trying to block an adult.

This is going to make me sound old but they should all have to forfeit their game checks for being that bad.
