After 17 games - sure. But in smaller samples like 3 games the opposition can skew. I think the Ravens game makes the run D look worse than it is (it's average to just below average). By the same token the Jets games makes the third down D look better than it is (it is actually legit terrible).

It’s inconceivable how the Steelers are the luckiest team sports, every week, every year. Why is it only a few teams that just destroy them. All the other teams let them muck it up and hang around and then when it comes time for a break…sure as you stand they’ll get every single one

Glance at the thread title quickly, and you would think it was asking Stosh from Cheektowaga where he's sitting. 😁

Achane, hill, waddle are top tier players Washington, wright, Gordon are quite solid backups. Alec Ingold is exceptional.

That fumble looked like a glitch in the matrix

HOW do you let Rodgers beat you with his legs???

I’m fine keeping the weird kickoff rule but they should go back to the original onside kick rules where teams could stack one side of the field to actually have a legit chance of recovery.

They were in a tough spot. From a pure football standpoint, sticking with Darnold was obviously the right thing to do. But they had an investment in a rookie QB that they felt they needed to play. I would have to imagine that ownership has a large say in that decision.

Right. Wentz is QB2

ok thanx bud, ill try that maybe..... gotta get my tv box up n goin, got er last week......anyways, thanx n take care....cheers......LETS GOOOOOOOOO BUFFALOOOOOOO

I will be 62. The qbs were not babied. Guys like Tyler Murray, even Mahoney would've been crushed and not drafted for their own safety

They were hoping to bring McCarthy through. And, after last year, teams were interested in giving Darnold a job as starter.

Apparently the vaunted Vikings defense had too much lager in Dublin

I see DK feels motivated today to show out in front of a new audience. It's a shame this level of play isn't consistent with him. He could be great.

I wish they'd just go back to the old kickoff rules. College does it. High school does it. Just think. The Bills comeback game might not have happened. We recovered an onside surprise after our first TD. The Saints recovered a surprise onside kick to open the second half of a Super Bowl which they won. SOMETIMES things don’t need to be changed.

Russ had some great individual seasons after the defense fell apart. Sherman has hated him since the interception on the goal line. That’s nothing new. I think Russ is kinda interesting though, because it does feel like his case gets weaker as the years go on. Its sorta like if Jalen Hurts had some great individual seasons but didn’t win much, then got old and fell apart.

Is it possible you’re biased given the way Oregon ended that game last night? Try to look at this objectively and with no recency bias.

Man Weintz is just bad , I would have run it back w/ Darnold

Wow. This is an offseason July worthy comment

Used to be the Hyatt. Not sure if that’s still true, but it most likely is. EDIT: Except for the Bengals. They stay at the Motel 6.

I'm more concerned about the Chiefs, Chargers and Ravens than the Steelers at this stage. I think the Steelers have a tougher schedule than the Bills anyway (vs Packers, at Chargers, vs Bills, Ravens x2, at Lions) so they'll drop a few games. The Vikings seem ripe to beat up bad teams where their defense can keep them in a game, but the offense is nowhere near good enough - more specifically at QB - if they need to win a shootout.

I find it all very interesting. But I haven't seen anyone come up with conclusions about it, as to what it all means. Neither left nor right.

That was such a huge play, glad they got it right but at 14-3 that was a sign and not a fluke play.

Yup, third down “D” insures I stay on my meds, lol
