That's No Moon

You aren't a golfer are you.

I think that would be the first time Karlos was described as a one hit anything. Weed, women, trips to the buffet...

The loafers or the twinkies?

The best part about this is the following. Either culture matters or it doesnt. If you don't think it matters well that is one of the major pillars of McDermott bs. If you think it does actually matter then you can't discount what the Steelers have done this year with a backup qb and without a healthy James conner. They've lost more talent in the last 12 months than we have been able to put on the field in 30 years and they keep winning. Against good teams. Will they win the Super Bowl? Probably not, but they will win at least 9 games and they will probably make the playoffs. We will not.

Let's see how it ends up. One team talks a lot about culture. The other just goes out and does it. The Steelers play the Browns next week. Think they'll lose?

And they had more go wrong in the first month of the season than anyone. You think the Bills could have weathered that?

Behold what winning culture actually is.

You have to actually hand the ball off to do that.

Look at everything Pittsburgh has gone through this season, see them continuing to win games, and realize what "winning culture" actually is.

Oh no, you're right, Hauschka has been crap. I'm suggesting that McDermott was stupid to even consider playing for that FG which he clearly did.

This team is exactly the same as it was last year, and the year before, they are just playing a weaker schedule.

When is a 53 yard FG off grass, in Cleveland, in November, considered anything more than sketchy?

Willfully ignoring what you want to ignore is the rage of the day.

You're right, there haven't been giant alarm bells going off for weeks now. Everything is fine. Peachy even.

You mean like Mayfield stared down 3 rushers and laid a ball in to Landry? Like that?

Former QB, smart kid. High motor. Brings his lunch pail every day.

It's almost like he fell in the draft for a reason....

At least throw a contestable pass that MIGHT yield DPI.

I was just happy to see that Jerry Hughes has been released by his Iranian captors. I was starting to get worried.

Look, you can choose to see where the road is going or you can choose to be surprised when you get to the destination. Whichever way you want to go through it. I'm saying the guys they have aren't getting it done and can't get it done and the outcome for me is inevitable. Whether it happens this January or not doesn't really seem to matter. In fact I think they will give them all another year under the auspices of stability for the QB who will ultimately end up being the reason they all get fired even though it was really the myriad of other poor choices and poor work done in addition to that that will contribute the most to the actual record on the field.

Or they could stop being dumb the first time around. That would work too.

and yet they manage to win. How good is Allen again?

In my eye they are almost exactly the same. Neither one makes enough plays in a game for you to beat a good team. The offense can't move the ball against a halfway competent defense and the defense can't stop a halfway competent offense and they both get absolutely owned by quality.

They will lose Antonio Brown, Ben Roethlisberger, LeVeon Bell and Ryan Shazier in a calendar year and STILL make the playoffs. If this D is one of the best 3 defenses in the NFL in any way other than meaningless stats I'm the Pope.
