OT: The Pittsburgher Thread - Good JuJu comes at a high price

[Mr Jiggyfly]

`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.

That’s a lot of lost revenue for owners.

Can’t see it unless they get 18 games.

 

[Smoke]

The Bengals are going to get Joe Burrow killed out there.

 

[Al Smith]

We'll see, I guess. The owners can always make up any lost revenue by fleecing the players association in the next CBA negotiations.

LOTS of survivor pools ruined already with Indy going down.

They are unscrupulous billionaires, they already know they can play the weed card and fleece them over and over every CBA.

The NFLPA is like negotiating with Nasty Nate and the Squirrel Master from Half Baked...

Can’t see why they would ever give up all that ore-season revenue. Best I can see is getting their 18 game wish and they will slash the pre-season in half.

Doubt the owners would allow that to happen.

Brady is overrated at this point in his career...happy to see the Saints take advantage of him

 

[cookthebooks]

i think plenty of people thought brady was washed so not sure he’s overrated just old and ever finicky/ reliant on perfect pocket. will be funny if pats make the playoffs and bucs draft a qb

It will only be funny to me when both Hoodie and Brady miss the playoffs and karma catches up to them.

 

[cookthebooks]

maybe brady fails so horribly he turns on bill

 

[Al Smith]

Pats still have 4 gimmes in their division, unfortunately.

 

[Rossi Rat]

Well, Brady is underwhelming today overall, but the Saints are pretty big NFC favorites and only up one possession at home (whatever that’s worth this season) in the 4th quarter.

eh as I say that, Brady sacked on 3rd down.

 

[JTG]

Yeah Brady looks like he's 40 today.

 

[Al Smith]

Keystone Bucs. Did Arians hire Danny Smith away from the Steelers?

 

[Empoleon8771]

People may comment that Brady looks spent, but I feel like Gronk and Fournette look even worse.

Who would have guessed that a 2016 dream team wouldn't work in 2020?

 

[Mr Jiggyfly]

I know... trust me.

I was laughing about Newton causing shit after the game.

I’m sure Hoodie loves seeing that.

Look at those Mitts on Metcalf....

Man we messed up passing on him for DJ

did we trade out of a higher pick?

2	64	Seattle Seahawks	DK Metcalf	WR	Ole Miss	SEC	from New England [R2 - 19]
	3	65	Arizona Cardinals	Zach Allen	DE	Boston College	ACC
	3	66	Pittsburgh Steelers	Diontae Johnson	WR	Toledo	MAC	from Oakland [R3 - 1]
	3	67	San Francisco 49ers	Jalen Hurd	WR	Baylor

That's the best part about the entire DK Metcalf thing. They didn't have a 2nd because they picked up Bush.

 

[EvGeno]

Welcome to the Bungles, Joe Burrow

 

[Iggy Smalls]

I thought Burrow showed a fair amount of poise today; his two minute drive was extremely organized for a rookie in his first game. Overthrew Green in the end zone, and made a dumb mistake in the 4th. Despite all of that he still should have led the Bengals to OT. Cincy games may be interesting again soon.

 

[ziggyjoe212]

I almost feel bad for guys like Mayfield, Burrow, and Darnold. They have elite talent but are drafted into disfunctional organizations that waste their talent. Mayfield having 3 HC in 3 years is brutal.

 

[cookthebooks]

that athletic piece on ben's rehab is a great read, but how damn weird is a 4 man BEAR hunting group of ben, merril hoge, hoge's college roommate, and...james washington?! granted i know washingtons a bit of a cowboy, but still.

At this point? He's always looked like this. Product of cheating.

That's not the argument. The argument is the Steelers were 3 picks away and Cardinals held the pick where Metcalf went and were looking to trade. Do I need to remind you Cardinals are Steelers West? Steelers were being stingy and made their one trade for the draft and apparently gave up for the rest of it looking at the draft picks.

All we can really do is hope Claypool is half the player Metcalf is.

well no one is even half the player Metcalf is
