FOOTBALL! Pro/College/etc. Still undefeated!

[Al Smith]

Speaking of playoff rules, I think they need to make a .500 record minimum even for division winners. The NFC East is an abomination and a good team is going to be left at home while a team that’s probably 6-10 in the worst division in history makes it in.

And everyone will complain and the crappy team that won the division will come out and win a playoff game and the system will stay in place in spite of everyone’s better judgment.

Bad things happen against the Jags. I view this as the one of the hardest games on the schedule and I'm completely serious. I still have PTSD from David Garrard.

 

[OnMyOwn]

The jags have made a few teams sweat and James Robinson is a decent RB. They have 0 passing game, however, and their defense is kind of a joke.

AB's counseling seems to be doing wonders, and apparently he's meeting all of the Bucs' expectations.

Steelers have scored 24+ in 9 straight games.

That’s a franchise record.

Just noticed mike glennon is the backup with Minshew out in Jacksonville. He's the GOAT when it comes to scrubs whipping the Steelers.

Dalvin Cook is in another world compared to Conner. If only the Steelers had any running game they would be almost unstoppable.

Biggest issue of having an elite running back is if you actually use them.

I'd want Cook, sure, but I'd still want to throw the ball 65%+ of the time.

 

[Goalie_Bob]

No running back would be be puting up yardage behind this offensive line. They are abysmal at run blocking right now.

 

[DanielPlainview]

If Minshew is back, I'd bet on a Jags win. 'Stache Nation.

I don't understand why they're using Conner as a workhorse type of back. Trying to pad his stats so he'll get a payday next season? McFarland has the speed and quickness to really change it up and they give him maybe 1 or 2 carries a game. I want to see more of him before the playoffs.

Yeah I agree with you on McFarland. I like Conner more than most here but want to see McFarland get more touches. With the way the line is run blocking, most backs aren’t going to have much success. Might as well put one in with some home run potential.

I do think Roethlisberger likes Conner’s pass protection though so he’s probably going to get the bulk of the time.

 

[DanielPlainview]

Yeah, I mean I get Conner getting the majority of the carries, I just want to see McFarland and Snell and get more touches.

I noticed this as well...

Out of all our backs he is the quickest and the most shifty, with good pass catching ability...

Yet you roll with Conner and Snell who are sort of similar.

They to give this kid an extended look throughout a game.

Remember when our run blocking was always near top in the league but out pass protect was sketchy... Man how things have changed in quick order.

 

[Night Shift]

f***ing Tomlin!

So if they lose the next 7 and miss the playoffs are you going to come here like, He never had a losing season!

 

[Goalie_Bob]

Well, he wouldn't have......

And to blame Tomlin for every ill and not give him any credit for any success I find to be ridiculous.

Every time a team wins a division with a .500 or worse record people complain. And I think 4/5 times in the modern era the sucky team has won a playoff game. Remember Tim Tebow? And the powers that be say then say, “see, we’re not changing the system.” I’m not sure why that will change this year. No one’s arguing that the NFC doesn’t suck; just that it won’t affect the playoff system moving forward.

Oline is bad at run blocking but Conner is the bigger problem. Every starting running back would easily put up better rushing numbers than Conner

Actually what I find ridiculous is when things have gone wrong in the past, it's blame everyone else BUT Tomlin. Whether its the coordinators or the players.

I don't think anyone here is not giving him credit right now for the 9-0 start.

 

[domaug]

looks like Hilton and Wormley will be able to play on Sunday

 

[OnMyOwn]

Eh I’m pretty sure people aren’t giving him credit, haha
