I agree with Sal Capaccio on the hit being the turning point but not due to a lack of effort. Instead he posed it as the team feeling uneasy and overly cautious not to make mistakes. Once the hit happens they stopped thinking about that and instead focused on kicking Steeler’s ass.

Since he just got past a concussion I’ll give him a pass on that one lol

What angers me about this game is the fact they game planned chips for the tackles all game and to great effect. Yet somehow only tried 3 times against the Texans. Like where was that last week? Even just simple chips could have given Allen the time he needed to maneuver the backfield. Allen seemed to look more himself with the trash talking and making smart decisions after the pick. 8-4 boys, Now onto the Bengals

Bills were happy to just play a kind and gentle game; then the Steelers chose violence and the Bills said “Oh, so that’s how you want to play eh? So be it.” And proceeded to pound them mercilessly

This will likely be a garbage game to watch and possibly in result We will likely be down both tackles and barring Kinkaid returning, our top catcher outside Shakir. The ground will have a game played on it the day prior and rain and snow are on the forecast meaning it’ll be a mud bath. Lastly due to the injuries, theres a chance we lean on Cook and the run game more to which Pittsburgh has shown a willingness to go all in on to stop like with the Colts. Steelers aren’t in a much better position, missing a tackle, Rodgers can’t go under center and DK Metcalf has an ankle injury. All in all shaping up to be a lackluster rock fight

Canada was terrible in Pittsburgh so I'd want nothing to do with him.

I'd call up Aiyuk and say, hey, want to rehab your image for the FA pool. Come here and help us go the distance and we'll let you go to the highest bidder in the offseason no strings attached

Apparently the Patriots can do no wrong in the eyes of the refs

***** the Pats

@ Steelers W vs Bengals W @ Patriots W @ Browns W vs Eagles L vs Jets W

Cook - Great Groot - Ok/Mediocre Bernard - Playing Injured now Injured Again Shakir - Fine but has been pigeon-holed into a screen guy for unknown reasons Benford - Started rough but has looked better as the season has gone on The issue isn't that they are all bad, its that they are making above average money and all but Cook have been average at best

however he was mainly doing so in the game. He gets greedy against bad defenses, but he respected this one and was willing to nickel and dime. Problem was he got greedy once and got picked, his reliable guy fumbled it once and the play calls on two separate drives were dog *****

Either that slipped or he expected Gilliam to go a bit deeper

I’d work to renegotiate Knox again, he’s a competent backup and if you can get a cap hit under 6mil he’s very much worth it. Id start with restructures on Allen and Oliver as well as cutting Samuel after 6/1. To me restructures should go from least likely to hurt us long term to most. For instance I have no intention of cutting or trading Allen so he’s just a piggy bank. Oliver is young enough to be useful going forward and we don’t run into void years in his mid to late 30’s. Palmer and Dawkins would be next on the list if need be.

Chiefs would likely butcher the Patriots if they met in the 1st round. Come playoff time they become a different animal altogether as we should know. But the Pats still have flaws to be exploited and with preparation can be disemboweled.
