You’re probably right.

Epenesa didn’t practice yesterday. Foot issue.

I’m thinking we might see some crazy stuff out of McD and Babich, with both Epenesa and Bosa not available, and given the quality of their passing game with Burrow back. Maybe we play a 3-4 look? 3 DL, 2 LB, 6 DB sets? Lot more blitzing with CBs off the edge, maybe safety blitzes? With basically just Groot and Solomon not much else to do.

I think the Steelers bounce back after we embarrassed them.

corrected. I hate autocorrect

For this thread and the opposite one floating around, aren’t they just really pretty silly?

I think the Chiefs don’t make the playoffs so not concerned about them at all. I’ll take the Ravens ideally because Jackson will choke in the playoffs like he always does.

It would probably be better for the Bills if the Chiefs won but I can’t bring myself to root for them. Plus I think the Texans win this one fairly easily. I see their defense destroying the chiefs offense.

He’s pretty damn good.

I really don’t understand why so many seem to want to clutch defeat from the jaws of victory. Will Brady adapt if teams go full in against the run? I think so. The truly horrible game Brady had this year was the Texans game. One hopes he learned from that. Once Kincaid is back you’ll have him, Cooks, Shakir, Palmer, and 3 RBs that can all catch the ball. So yeah Ivthink he can piece something together.

Lombardi’s Packers ran the power sweep all game and dared teams to stop it. They never could. Not saying what we did Sunday is Packeresque, but if you find something that works as well as that play did you run it till the opposition proves they can stop it. And they couldn’t.

Come on Mafia, we’re better than this. If you took it give it back.

Define a complete game. Yesterday the defense completely shut down the Steelers. The offense dominated and held the ball for 42 minutes, dominating a Steelers defense prone to the run. The only thing that wasn’t complete was the one missed extra point. Or does a complete game mean you have to throw a ball X number of times even if you are killing the other team running the ball. Let’s switch it around and say you have the same kind of defensive performance, but the offense throws all day because the opposing defense has a weak back 7. Would that be a complete victory, or would we have had to run more. You play to win the game. This time of year do what you have to, run, pass, both. Doesn’t matter to me.

Point # 5 is just silly IMHO. Brady has not done well the past couple games but he was spot on yesterday. He found a weakness in that the Steelers couldn’t handle the run and exploited it.

We have to cut out the dumb mistakes. Even yesterday the 2 turnovers, the false starts, and Epenesa’s idiotic penalty could have cost us. Play solid football and we should impose our will against them.
