Needed that if you are Miami. At least gives the D a breather and regroup.

I just want to see a good game this weekend

Steelers' D isn't as execrable as it has been the past couple years, but it's still not a good unit. Dolphins will struggle to win a shootout, but this won't be a rout.
You high. Miami is just like Detroit, an awful team who made the playoffs with mirrors and magic wands.

Field goal kicking is amazing. You take it for granted, but that last replay really showed how many moving parts there are and the split second timing.

On Monday, most people were saying there was one good game and it was at 4:30 on Sunday. Nothing has changed. This was a bad schedule. Oakland versus a bad Houston team, except for the fact that everyone on Oakland was injured. The Lions were one of the worst playoff teams in recent memory, with their best player hampered by a significant injury on his throwing hand. And Miami is worse than Detroit, which is saying something.

It was a bad schedule.

Can't wait for the media to spend the next week talking about how the Steelers are a "sleeper" SB team only for them to go lay an egg in KC.

wait til the Giants beat the Packers in a thriller tonight and everyone here starts freaking the fuck out
Right. This was my nightmare for the weekend: three garbage games and Eli Manning pumping his fist at the end of the final game

Miami has won games this year because of specials and ajayi. The defense hasn't really won them a game outside of winning TO battle

PIT isn't a sleeper; if anything, they're overrated.

PIT-KC should be a good game. The winner will get their puncher's chance at NE in Foxborough. The Chiefs are the tougher matchup of the two, imo.

Vance is hoping that wearing a hoodie will help his defensive calls, apparently.

Crazy to think that 20 offsides penalties leads the league by a wide margin. Seems like there are five offsides calls a game.

You'll see a lot of this big offensive set if the Steelers make it to the AFCCG. If the Pats have a weakness, it's their front 7.

Guys who are among the league leaders in offsides are always outstanding players. Marginal guys who make a habit of jumping get benched fast.

The Miami fans are handing the cold worse than the Pitt fans...Thanks for that relevant analysis.
I think he meant Miami players are handling the cold worse than Pittsburgh fans. Seems about right.

Yep, I really enjoy the Miami thread on this forum and the good fans there, but that team got flat out lucky on it's so-called "run." As misleading an improvement under Gase as the Jets last year under Bowles.
