FOOTBALL! Pro/College/etc. Still undefeated!

McDonald should be back next week?

Tomlin said in the post-game he's not sure, still recovering I think, might be back but probably questionable for Thursday.

Yeah would imagine. And weve barely used him this year in passing game. Dude is well rested. I like it. Last playoff game....10 catches for 120 yards. I know we have been using Ebron so he can get used to our O but Vance can be used just as much. Gives us another solid option. Not to mention an actual TE who blocks will help the run game.

They lost 3 out of 4. And all of them with Ronnie Stanley out. They just arent as good as most think. Already lost Yanda to retirement and then the best LT in the league.
How is it facing a pissed off team? Losing 2 out of 3 didnt get em there? They are a deflated team at this point. And only way they beat us is thru their D. If we turn the ball over 3 times then sure. They do have the playmakers on D to do so. But not afraid of their offense at all

Tomlin has to get out of the tough guy routine with the Ravens.

Let Roth throw all over them, get points on the board, then force them and LJ to come from behind.

Feel bad about Burrow. It's one thing you see an aging vet QB go out but hate seeing a rookie the likes of him have his career stunted so early.

Good buddy of mine is from Cincy and I sent him a text saying I was sorry. I like Burrow and that’s awful for him. Hope he recovers for next season.

In a vacuum I don’t want to see any player get hurt (except for dirty ones), but in terms of divisional rivals I have no sympathy. I hope Cincinnati and Cleveland continue their QB hunt forever.

well he can’t catch Covid twice in a few weeks, can he?

I am surprised the onside kick at the beginning of the game didn’t work for the Jags...it seems that the Steelers are usually unprepared for things like that.

It was a really good attempt to. About as perfect a kick as they could’ve done. We’re lucky Allen beat them to the ball.

LJ getting lessons from Tom Wilson down their in DC?

 

[Jaded-Fan]

Credit to them for the 10 and 0 start.

hat said, the Steelers have been incredibly lucky in their opponents for most of this year.

They have had the second weakest opponents in a the AFC so far this year.

I love that type of stuff in football. Tired of everyone on the field being friends. Get the emotion up.

I’m pretty sure they realized something was coming when the kicker and one of the gunners switched places.

So it’s like the Pats schedule every season for the last 20 years?

 

[Shockmaster]

So it’s like the Pats schedule every season for the last 20 years?

Well not quite. For most seasons the Patriots had 6 match-ups against very dysfunctional Bills, Jets, and Dolphins teams. The Steelers are playing in a much more competitive division.

 

[Al Smith]

Great comeback by the Colts in the second half. So far.

Edit: I jinxed 'em. Going to OT.

 

[Iggy Smalls]

Pathetic that Harbaugh can't handle close losses or blowouts. I remember him being amused running up the score against Duck Hodges and a team of Steelers back ups. I hope the Steelers drop 50 on Thanksgiving.

Minkah has 9 int in 24 games as a Steeler.

Obviously the Raiders are better than Jacksonville, but weren’t the opposing records virtually identical heading into this week for both Pittsburgh and Kansas City?

KC had it pretty easy too.

I have a lot more faith in them rising to the occasion when the playoffs come than I do the Steelers. Are you telling me that you believe differently?

 

[RustyRazor]

This Chiefs defense is not good. So the question is, could the Steelers slow the Chiefs offense enough to outscore them given the minimum of three or four wasted possessions the Steelers have every game thanks to Randy?

Why should I not believe in the Steelers right now?

 

[EvGeno]

Why should I not believe in the Steelers right now?

Because Tomlin, obviously. Keep up, dude.

The tactic in a Steelers VS Chiefs matchup is possession/clock management. Give KC the short clock anytime they have to drive. That’s the only way to beat that offense. And hope for a lucky break or bounce with our defense on the field. If you give AR/PM the clock you’ll loose.
