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.
That was the joke. Some goof on ESPN is going to say something like "Let me tell you, the Pittsburgh Steelers are a real contender" like it is a real bold statement.

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.
I disagree. These guys are a serviceable QB away from being a very good team.

If I'm their GM, I'm working the phones starting tomorrow. The Pats won't trade JG within the division, but McCarron is probably better than Tannehill or Moore, and is likely available.

Yeah, about that whole "serviceable" QB. There's like 13 of them in the league. Tannehill isn't the answer. Moore is worse, obviously.

Why is Vance Joseph such a hot coaching commodity? This D stinks. 2 weeks in a row against good teams that they have completely laid down.

Lol. Miami D wants zero part of this game. This is maybe the fifth time they've fallen behind by three TDs in second quarter.

I feel like QB is low on their list of problems.

I don't get the Miami safety's approach to Bell there. He angled to keep Bell away from the middle of the field (where the bulk of the defensive help was), but Bell wasn't close enough to the sideline to be pinched along it.

I think there's more like 20. Andy Dalton or Alex Smith would be a big upgrade for Miami.

Nice goal line stand here. (On further review, maybe not.)

It's what happens when you're playing backups and guys you signed mid-season off the street.

um...Really???

*s*. Many, many more missing pieces -- mediocre OL, average receivers, less than mediocre secondary, some good LBer and DL guys, but Suh takes up way too much cap space. Oh, yeah, and the QB. If you watched even their wins they did not play that well.

I don't know if you can overturn this one unless you're 100% positive that camera is directly on the goal line.

In by 2.5 inches, but I wouldn't call it conclusive.
If that's not conclusive, I'm not sure what is. It's close, and I don't blame the refs for missing it on the field, but he's clearly on his feet with at least a portion of the ball across the plane.

Yeah, me too. I went all in on Pats, Sea, Pitt, and Atl, with one entry with NYG players and another with GB players. But I didn't take a Hou, Miami, Oak, Det, or KC player.
We have a 16 player roster and everyone plays. So, you usually have someone or at least a defense.

The camera is not quite right along the line, though.

Lol. No. The issues isn't Tannehill, who is a middle of the pack a QB. Without pouncey the online is starting third string center. They average over 160 yards a game rushing last two years when pouncey and two tackles start and are 10-1. The rest of the O is fine. Can upgrade TE after they lost Cameron for year. He sucked anyways.

The defense is atrocious. It was bad before losing all pro safety jones and both starting CBs. And two starting LBs. And starting tackle next to Suh. And Williams at DE. The entire D needs revamping. And their coordinator is leaving
