Why is an irrelevant guy on IR even traveling with the team?

I’m not sure…But clearly, the Irish saw weakness and pounced!

[UKBillFan]

And a TJ Watt interception leads to another Steelers TD. 21-6.

Wentz sucks 

[The Frankish Reich]

1. The Steelers are just a little too competent for comfort.

2. Why was the weather never like this when I was in Ireland?

It's still a mystery to me how he went from everyone's new model QB to complete sub-Trubisky backup, even accounting for injury.

1. Let them be. More pressure on the Ravens. When they win a shootout, I'll start to worry.

True. So far we have no reason to believe that Rodgers can win in that situation.

 

But you have sadly ignored my point 2.

so the irish are big fans of styx?

NFL.com broadcasters are now suggesting the JJ McCarthy may benefit from watching Carson Wentz.

... It's Ireland?

 

The Vikings narrow it to a ten point game thanks to a TD and two point conversion.

Damn close! And you're UK, so N. Ireland is like right there ... and you share the same weather moderated by the Gulf of America stream, so a little sympathy? 😁

Uhoh- big shock, 65lb WR Calvin Austin was loaded into an ambulance and brought the hospital with a shoulder injury

Pulling for Pitt here. It feels wrong, but I’m rooting for all of the mediocre AFC teams to stack wins with the hope that KC has a middling record and is blocked from sneaking in as the 6/7 seed.

 

I like both teams, but PItt has been a secondary favorite AFC team for decades (back to the days of Terry Bradshaw, Franco Harris, and the Steel Curtain when the Bills were even more irrelevant than they were during the Drought Years), so I gotta root for the Stillers.

Apparently the vaunted Vikings defense had too much lager in Dublin 

 

Obviously, they should have drunk Guiness.   It seems to have worked for Rodgers.

I’m not sure that paying a one year wonder QB $50M that had basically sucked at every other stop their entire NFL career and also looked like that same sucky QB in the last 2 games of the season, effectively ending your season was “objectively the right thing to do.”

 

According to AI "Sam Darnold signed a 3-year contract with the Seattle Seahawks worth up to $100.5 million, including $55 million guaranteed and a $32 million signing bonus, with an average annual salary of $33.5 million. However, the deal is largely structured to be a year-to-year contract, as much of the compensation in the second and third years becomes fully guaranteed only if the Seahawks choose to keep him on the roster after a certain date in the prior offseason".  

 

It's a lot of money, but I think that it's probably on par with second tier starting QB deals.  Darnold has played well for the Seahawks this season, so he's probably more than a "one year wonder".

Sympathy? You only had to put up with it on holiday - I live with it. 😁

OK, I ran it back and was disappointed this isn't true.

Renegade. Apparently some kind of Steeler thing.

I mean, I would have to respect I'm Sailing Away done Cartman style, but this?

The few times I have watched the Vikes over the past year or so, something seems off to me when they are losing.   Seems like there is never a sense of urgency, as they are just too deliberate.  Still huddling up and letting the clock run when down three scores.  Just seems odd.

Not trusting the QB, whether Darnold or Wentz or JJ.

Just my opinion, but I don't think they should've let Darnold go. I get they drafted Mccarthy, but let him sit a few years 

[Einstein]

4th and goal from 4 yard line and you run?

[Bills!Win!]

The Steelers have literally never done anything to us Other than beat us with their back ups. I just can’t stand them for some reason. Does anyone else feel that way?
