Steelers offense is a big play to get into field goal range

It feels like the Steelers never score a TD Every one of their games is like 15-10

I don't like it. Mostly because of the symbolism and history. I will say that I also cringe a bit when I hear chiefs fans doing the chant and the tomahawk chop.

For sure... It sounds so weird hearing 60,000+ people singing "She's touching his chest now, he takes off her dress now..." in unison at a football game But it seems to fire everyone up so whatever works!

It could very well happen. In the video I posted yesterday (1 hr+ long interview with Rex on a podcast) he said he has always wanted to continue coaching but never got a single phone call or interview. It was in response to one of the guys saying he was shocked Rex left coaching. He mentioned that he reached out to Dallas last offseason to be DC thinking that it would give him a loaded defensive roster and a way to become a HC again down the line.

I thought the same, that he was happy being out of the grind. 47:45 (ish) is where Rex talks about wanting to get back into coaching... Interestingly, he also says he never wanted to be out of coaching but nobody ever called.

He absolutely wants it. He's openly saying on the air that he wants the Jets job and would do it "in a second"

That sort of stuck with Manning too.. "Yeah, but he can't win the big one/can't beat Brady!" 4 SB appearances (2 with each team) 2-2 in the SB (1-1 with each team) Manning went to the SB with 4 different head coaches: Dungy, Caldwell, Fox, Kubiak 3-2 record against Brady in the playoffs Some (ignorant) people still say Peyton couldn't win the big ones though!" because Brady dominated the regular season matchups, especially early on. Getting to the SB with Jim Caldwell, John Fox and Gary Kubiak as your head coaches is a feat in and of itself. Dungy was a good one. But the other 3? When did they accomplish anything of note before or after as HC? Mahomes/Allen is similar in some ways, but also its own storyline, as all great rivalries will be. So far, Allen has owned the regular season matchups, whereas Mahomes has the playoff wins and the rings.

Rex Ryan wants this job badly, to the point where he's basically openly campaigning for it now on the air. It might come down to who to hire: Option A: Rex, the guy who honestly had the most success of any Jets HC in recent memory (2 AFC Title Games) and obviously has a passion and desire for the job Option B: Some relatively unknown offensive assistant coach who will take any gig I forgot the part about Hackett... Kept him but stripped play calling duties That locker room must be full of headcases and bad vibes right now

It's going to be EPIC! Hopefully we'll be healthy. It's a real bummer for them that Huchinson was injured

I remember back when the Aikman, Kelly, Marino, Young, Montana, Elway QB group retired there was a lot of talk about the league sort of being in a QB drought, without the marquee names to make the games seem bigger. Then along came Manning and Brady with Big Ben and Rivers and the league had the next generation of superstars to drive rivalries and ratings. The Big Ben vs Manning or Brady games were a fun undercard, but the heavyweight matchup was Brady vs Manning in the playoffs. I think that's where we are now. There are a lot of great teams and great players, but Mahomes vs Allen in the playoffs is the one everyone wants to see. It's also a lot more even at 4-4 overall. Regular Season Allen 4-1 Playoffs Mahomes 3-0 Manning won the playoffs matchup series with Brady 3-2, although Brady dominated the regular season matchups. There's a lot of similarities, and we're in the early stages still of this rivalry.

Wow, I didn't realize his stats were that good.. I don't watch a lot of their games, but the glimpses I have seen on Red Zone he looked bad. I stand corrected then! Hopefully they win this week vs GB, because everything about the Packers annoys me, starting with their egomaniac head coach who has accomplished exactly zero other than making sure McVay's coffee was warm in LA.

Me too! It would make the Jets fun to watch at least. Right now they're like the never ending prime time Cowboys or Giants games that are unwatchable.

When they fired Saleh their season ended. Whatever you might say about him, Saleh had his defense playing well on a consistent basis. His "DC" is not a guy who was truly running the D. Now suddenly that "DC" has to actually run the D, or have an even less experienced assistant D coach do it, while also taking over as HC in the middle of a disaster. With Saleh, the Jets are 5-6 right now, or maybe 6-5 and right in the mix for the 7 seed or even actually in the playoffs at the moment. Colts are the 8 seed with a 5-6 record right now. Broncos are the #7 at 6-5. People forget that we always go from "it'll take 11 wins to even make it!" to a 9-8 team playing in the Wild Card. It's like clockwork.

Don't discount the possibility of Rex Ryan returning to coach the Jets

Shakir must be re-signed. Pay the price, get your ticket for the show! He's our Edelman. Always open, catches everything thrown his way, moves the chains. That is more valuable than saving some money for a different position. Patriots won at the end of Brady's career with Edelman and Gronk as weapons. When Edelman was out that team really struggled.

we have a good OL and also solid OL depth Extremely important to winning, especially in a league where a lot of the athletic big men play D to make more $

Purdy turned into a pumpkin... 49ers might look for a 1-2 year stopgap QB who can play that system...

Unfortunately for the Jets all of the guys who were in a room with Sean McVay when the Rams were winning have been taken. At this point they might have to settle for the guy who gets coffee for Eberflus.

a great WR is always great to have... What does a great WR do? Always open, catches everything, never complains, constantly makes plays, great teammate. We have one of those right now in Shakir.

It's going to be an incredible stadium! And a perfect outdoor, cold weather environment where football belongs, especially in WNY. We have all kinds of outdoor events all winter long around these parts. We're outdoor people. Football is an outdoor game. When people talk about "putting the grill away for the season" we're confused. There's a grilling season? This is going to be a premier stadium and perfect for this market.

Rex wants to come out of retirement to coach the Jets. So I can't take him too seriously

Oh wow didn't realize they already played them twice

They have enough fight and talent to possibly be helpful to us by beating Baltimore and Pittsburgh and maybe some other AFC teams

Herbert has been making some great throws this drive, I've gotta give him credit
