One clear thing in the early going: the Chiefs and Ravens are every bit as good as advertised. They’re the best 2 teams in the AFC by far, IMO.

Andrews would have been a perfect Steeler. Pisses me off every time i'm reminded we traded up for Rudolph instead.
They are just an incredibly well run franchise. The fact that they were able to draft Patrick Queen this year too...

At this point, I’m accepting that Lamar Jackson won’t be “figured out” and will continue to be an issue. I mean maybe eventually but not looking like any time soon. I’m just hoping he really isn’t a postseason performer.

also, lol @ the fact LJ Fort is suddenly this force on D for the Ravens. FFS.

We may be stuck in Tomlin purgatory, but it in no way, shape or form compares to the god awful gridiron diarrhea the Browns squirt on the field every season.

You would think a team would accidentally get good with all those top picks after 20 years.

It’s like they actively try to be this embarrassing, because the odds are so agt being this bad for so long.

Id rather have him than... any current Steelers RB. Still don’t know where the rushing attack will come from this year.

btw LeVeon with 6 carries 14 yds. Doubtful to return with a hammy lol

My hope is that the pass will assist the run, because the passing game should be really good.

Calais Campbell is a guy I wanted in the worst way in his draft year. Never envisioned he'd be able to pressure a QB the way he has been over his career, but man has he had a good one.

Rivers being Rivers...everyone said he’ll be better away from the Chargers crappy O line, but no...INTs at critical times per usual

It should be a fun offense to watch..if Ben can stay healthy. And I really don’t want to have to count on him throwing 40-50 times a game.

Baltimore does look good and I know they are but I wont use Cleveland as some bench mark.

They have never done anything to get the hype they get besides sign some high profile ufas and trade for OBJ.

But every yr they've underachieved and for all intents and purposes have been the same old browns... Maybe slightly more difficult to play against.

`Eagles and Colts both go up big and blow leads against two crappy teams. Really disappointing starts for those two. And now the Bears have come back against the Lions after looking dead. If/when we go back to normal, I'd say preseason games will not return.
