It is just like how they start Black Friday on Thanksgiving now adays.

Any team playing against the Patriots.

Yikes you could make an argument that the Steelers season came to an end because an official blew his whistle too soon in the first half.

Pretty bonkers that two years in a row a team’s playoff life comes down to a game in Baltimore.

Glancing at the standings it doesn’t even look like today’s win caused us to slide all that much. I think maybe 2 spots.

The game was also blacked out and I am glad that rule is gone even though it doesn’t effect me anymore since I live in Chicago and have the Sunday ticket.

Are you guys thinking what I am thinking? Kyle up the middle for the TD?!

I hope they win this one for him because I don’t want Marcia Bardy getting a bye next week.

Hopefully we will find out in the Superbowl!

I hope to see his name on the wall very soon.

Honestly just to make watching the game a little more enjoyable if I know more of what I am looking at. The same actually goes for hockey I know the sport but I think I could enjoy it more if I understood the strategy behind it.

Thank you for making this thread. I am in the same boat. I have been watching this game for 30 years and I still have a novices understanding of the X and O elements. I always thought it was kind of funny that I don’t know more about the game than I do.

I am going to root for a win during the game but if we lose I am going to be pretty happy if it helped us get into a better draft position.

I know he has proven himself to be good coach but I have always thought he was a dope since the time he tried to fight Kelly and broke his hand.

I think we are missing the bigger issue here. What about the fact that Edelman looked like a high garden gnome?

I hope you are right. I guess I am just frustrated with feeling like I have watched the same game against this team for the last 18 years (with the exception of I think 3 games).

Well Shady would like to say hello as well. By the way I agree with a lot of what you say. Even with Brady on the downside though he is still one of the better quarterbacks in the league sadly.

Matt Darr says hi!

I was hoping for Luck, Rodgers or Brees as as our back up but I guess that is all out the window now!

This reminds me of that interesting strategy Dick Jauron had of comprising the entire 53 man roster of all defensive backs.

Similar to this discussion. Everyone loves it when teams go for the win with a 2 point conversion instead of an extra point at the end of regulation. I am in the minority and think it is a dumb move over aggressive move. I would think you have a lot more chances to win in OT then if you have a busted play on a 2 point conversion. It worked for Anthony Lynn but was a bust for Mike Vrable this season so I guess based on the data we have in 2018 it is a split verdict.

Who should be fired? Al Riveron and Walt Coleman.

Dang I didn’t realize there was no a Thursday night game. It was going to be my excuse to drink beer.

I didn’t realize the season was lost. I haven’t been this excited since the super bowl era.

Kind of thought Hauscka and White would make it. Not that I was planning on watching either way though.
