Miyagi-Do Karate Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 The steelers always will lay an egg like this every year, typically against a few NFC opponents. Pretty meaningless in terms of predicting how they will do. They'll still win 10 or 11 games and make the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Gotta be crying if you are the Browns! It's one thing to miss on Russell Wilson in the third, but this is on a whole different level! Why cry for the Browns? Hue Jackson was lusting for Goff all the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Wentz has been mighty impressive so far but you wouldn't say the Eagles have played a legit defense yet. Early signs very encouraging but too early to declare him a star for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poblano Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Put Wentz behind steelers OLine and Roethlisberger behind eagles line,the score is the other way maybe worst and with Wentz trowing a couple of picks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I think that particular performance was a bad sign. I don't think they are a Championship team. Jmo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty McFly Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 (edited) Weren't they bragging about the fact that they were going to let analytics do all the work and build a great team from that? Not sure if they stuck to that plan or not, but they failed this round. On to round two... Apparently the new team, had them fire the old scouts pushing for Wentz. The irony is the Browns losing to Wentz AND losing the starting QB in the 1st game! Oh man. **** like that makes me not complain so much about the !@#$ery at OBD Edited September 28, 2016 by Marty McFly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Agree. Still missing that old Steeler toughness. Agree with you and yolo. It's on D. Just not as tough as they were. That said, they obviously have the QB play and that could be enough for a good run for them, especially if the matchups in the playoffs break the right way.

Marty McFly Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Yea. Agreed. If the Bills want to have any shot at the playoffs they need to beat Cincinnati and hope they have a down year, because I as of now I think at least 2 teams make the playoffs from the AFC North. Cincinnati looks like they are having a down year, so we might be in luck, now the trick is to not get eliminated before week 11. Also Wentz and Goff are gonna need 3 years to look at objectively to declare a winner. The only thing that is already clear is Wentz is paying dividends much faster. Goff has yet to play in a regular season game, for whatever thats worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very tough schedule this far and they were without Eifert and Burfict who will be back soon. I actually think they might be a bit better overall than Pittsburgh. Just maybe not as explosive offensively as last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
