The Steelers' schedule has been historically soft, wow looking at that they have played 2 good teams and one of them was in COVID hell at the time.

Yes, they are the converse of the Texans this year, who have gone through the schedule gauntlet.

The Browns have also had a pretty soft schedule, so they are 9-3 but aren't a powerhouse. But they do have a couple of solid wins. Yesterday could have been a statement win but the seal the win, they had to snag an onside kick. Letting Tennessee back in it wasn't impressive.

It's just about as soft as Miami's was during their 14-0 season.................a bunch of stiffs they played, capped off with a Super Bowl win vs the over the hill gang and a 73 year old Billy Kilmer as QB.

The Steelers are lining up perfectly to go 16-0; and get knocked out in the second round of the playoffs.

NFC East, AFC South and a 2nd place schedule. Toss in the Bengals x2 and it's worked out well for Pittsburgh. Thus fair. In fairness, they do have Buffalo, Indy and Cleveland left. Navigating through that will be more of a challenge.

Edit: Pittsburgh is also 7-0 in 1 score games. That's not sustainable, fortune is likely to flip on that at some point.

I’m impressed that Eric Ebron has remained employed as an NFL tight end despite not being able to catch.

Pitt from the one yard line with Claypool, Juju, and Johson.

Run from Snell, fail. Another run from Snell, fail. Some weirdly impossibly attampt to throw to the lineman, fail. Run from Snell, fail.

I don’t understand why Fox continues to throw at us these TOUCHDOWN graphics that take up half the screen. Between that and the shitty cartoon avatars of all the players, and it is a tough year for NFL production choices at Fox Sports.

NBC should be given a monopoly on NFL games

I am all for the epic steelers collapse. I'll take pretty much anyone besides KC or Pitt winning the SB
Either one winning it would be the worst case scenario; Pittsburg would entail 19-0, perfect season, first team to go 19-0, the Steelers history and aura and the 1970's Steelers would somehow find a way to glom on, if it's the Chiefs, as bad as the Mahomes ballwashing has been the past two years, it will reach unfathomable proportions.

Mahomes is not the problem here. He is fucking incredible and is a pleasure to watch. He is worthy of the ballwashing. I

This field’s turf is a fucking shitshow, Washington players stumbling all over

Roethlisberger has like 5-6 passes that were up for grabs today.

I know it's funnier if hte NFC Least crashed and crumbled, but it's nice to see some competency. Plus, Alex Smith is back to being a good QB at the present moment.
