Miyagi-Do Karate

Raiders had no chance here. I have been really disappointed in Carr. I thought he would have a huge tear this year for them.

anytime the chiefs are in the red zone, all I am doing is watching kelce from the snap. You know it’s going there. On that last TD, it was just a super clever route— like a fake pick.

oh, wow. I did not know that! I will say that there are a lot of elite kickers who don’t stick until they get to their second or even third teams. It’s sort of weird, because you would think there would be no learning curve for the position.

my guess is that the rules will look a lot different in the playoffs.

Huh? Their “off the street” kicker can make a 59-yarder? Wow.

Do you want to know the simplest way to put a stop to the haters’ insults? Build. A. Dome.

Leave it to the Bills to become so good as to generate no discussion and kill a perfectly good message board. So Billsy.

I have been enjoying in a very dark sort of way reading all the Pittsburgh local papers over the last 24 hours. It is brutal.

Odds of him getting injured are like 99%. So would pass.

Really going to need Po and Edmunds back for this one. And wouldn’t hurt to have Benford too, but I suspect we won’t see him until after the bye.

Agree. I see Shakir more as a replacement for Crowder. Seems like he can play outside pretty well too. We are going to need him and Lil D both.

Case is a guy that would look a lot better with a full week of practice and reps with the starters. He is solid for a 2.

Hussey acts like a real tough guy out there. I remember him from a few games last year, and thinking the same thing. I think he did the bills/chiefs playoff game.

No. I think the defenders should not have made those hits (mostly the Shaq hit).

Agreed, esp on Canada. I was telling my Steelers buddies that Canada even held back Ben R. I think he actually had more juice in his arm left than people gave him credit for, but Canada’s 3-yard offensive scheme killed him. He is going to kill Pickett too. Oh, and Najee Harris is not good.

Don’t get me wrong. i don’t think either hit was illegal. I just know I would be livid if Josh took those same hits today with no flag, especially the Shaq one.

I am not saying they were illegal hits. But both easily didn’t need to happen, and the Shaq one absolutely didn’t need to happen. He shouldn’t be diving at all there. Steeler fans have a right to gripe about both of those.

I hear you. But even if legal, both of those hits shouldn’t have happened. Hamlin lucked out because that it called like 99% of the time, even if technically legal. Shaq just needed to pull up and not dive. 4th and forever, Pickett heading to the sideline to throw. I don’t think it was dirty— but unnecessary. All I know is I would have gone nuts if that had been a hit to Josh’s knee on that same play.

Legal or not, both the Shaq and a Hamlin hits were total bush league hits. I would have been furious if it were Josh on the other side of those. I am going to chalk it up to third stringers getting too aggressive, and not ill intent. But those are bad looks for the team.

I am going to a mention a negative here, because there were so many positives! what’s the point in paying all these ST aces again? They could have— but utterly failed to— down two Martin punts inside the 5, and then Taiwan obviously botched the opening kickoff.

it is amazing that he thinks the Steelers were going to pay him. Bad field awareness too.

The only time I will say this. Get moss in there!!

pickens is going to be the best receiver in the NFL within the next 3 years. His off-field stuff must have been obscene for him to fall like he did.
