Sunday games.

[Drink IRON City]

I’ve never seen Josh Allen come across this way? Am I missing something? The guy is always gracious and gives his teammates all sorts of credit.
He tries to do a little too much sometimes,but has cut his int’s way ,way down. I’d take him any day on the Steelers.

Or are you talking about Aaron?

I believe this is the updated AFC Playoff Picture:

1. Chiefs - clinched
2. Bills - clinched

3. Ravens/Steelers
Ravens w/win OR Steelers loss
Steelers w/win AND Ravens loss

4. Texans - clinched

5. Steelers/Ravens/Chargers
Ravens w/loss AND Steelers win
Steelers w/win AND Ravens win or w/loss AND Chargers loss
Chargers w//win AND Steelers loss

6. Chargers/Steelers
Based on above scenario

7. Broncos/Dolphins/Bengals
Broncos w/win OR Dolphins and Bengals losses
Dolphins w/win AND Broncos loss
Bengals w/win AND Broncos and Dolphins losses

SCHEDULE:
Bengals at Steelers
Browns at Ravens
Chargers at Raiders
Chiefs at Broncos - expect the Chiefs to rest starters
Dolphins at Jets

I really don’t understand . Are you saying a Steelers Chargers matchup is based on any one of the three scenarios in #5?
So if the Chargers beat the Raiders we should lose to the Bengals in order to get the Chargers?
I want the Chargers. They are our only hope for a finally getting a playoff win.

The Ravens are 3 or 5. If the Ravens are 3, then the 6 seed is whoever isn't the 5 seed between the Steelers and Chargers.

Potential matchups:

6 Chargers at 3 Steelers
5 Steelers at 4 Texans
6 Steelers at 3 Ravens

Least interesting week of NFL football ever. Games on Wed, Thurs, Sat, Sun and Mon. With the light schedule today it didn't even feel like an NFL Sunday. Throw in Christmas and I watched the steelers and maybe 2 hours total of other games this week.

It also feels like the NFL should be over this week. They will expand to 18 games eventually because of money and it will just make the NFL season start to feel long, like MLB. Just start the damn playoffs already.

 

[Troglodyte]

Mitch Trubisky also threw a 69 yard TD pass in relief of Allen. I wonder if Rooney is aware of his ex-QBs performances and if it makes him wonder.

 

[TimesAreChanged]

KP played with broken ribs. Was he on the injury report? How is this good for player health

 

[Steelmann]

I doubt he plays enough next week to break it, with the Eagles having nothing to play for.

The record has to be looked at differently anyway with the 17 game schedule.

I think a few things should be cleared up about this to be fair to both backs.

Dickerson. Barkley

2105 yards 2005 yards
379 attempts. 345 attempts
113 yards a game. 125 yards a game
14 Touchdowns 13 touchdowns
5.6 per carry. 5.8 per carry

This is as of today.
So as far as I’m concerned Barkley has 34 attempts to get 101 yards to break the record.
Never mind this extra game baloney. It’s about attempts. Different era comes into play perhaps. But that’s a whole different conversation.

How many attempts would it take Najee to reach 2,105 yards?

 

[SteelerFan448]

Watching Penix try to pump fake makes me appreciate how Roethlisberger maybe had the best pump fake ever.

 

[Stainless]

This is a good game. Two good young quarterbacks.

Loving this matchup tonight. Watch out for Atlanta next season

Taking Penix after signing Cousins to that huge contract doesn't look so bad right now.

 

[Stainless]

I can't believe Atlanta didn't take a timeout.

 

[SteelerFan448]

Patterson is a throwback kicker with no leg strength.

 

[tapeANaspirin2it]

drafting Penix wasn't the bad move, it was signing Cousins. They took Penix at 8 which means they must have planned on drafting him. Signing a vet to start the season makes sense but not paying that much for him. They could have brought in Russ or Fields or a few other vets for much cheaper.

 

[Lloyd]

I really want the Lions to win it this year, but their defense is just too decimated and I don’t trust their coach to not make a bone-headed decision on 4th down to throw a game. I actually think it’s going to be a Bills/Packers Super Bowl. Hoping Lions though.

Vikings keep proving everyone wrong. They just beat GB.

The Rooneys got the cheap deals, who would have figured?

The lack of 1st downs stops him from getting enough carries to get there.

 

[Lloyd]

Agree and it's a tough pill to swallow. I honestly think the Steelers could be a contender if game planning and adjustments during the game, etc were made. It's not like our talent sucks.

The way our talent is used, it does suck. OL sucks, QB sucks, WRs suck...

That is a different argument since the Falcons signed Cousins way before drafting Penix and gave him a ton of guaranteed money.

You know they spend right up to their cap every year right?

[Lloyd]

They could afford him, the choice is up to them. Cousins won some games for them and allowed Penix to sit and learn. I have no problem with it. They are paying for him, not me.

 

[Ye Black Knight]

Yeah. Idk I still think GB ends up in the Super Bowl if the Lions don’t. Just a hunch and the Packers and Vikings are basically even. The Vikings did win both matchups but by 2 points each time. Still hoping the Lions make it though.
