8 divisions for 32 teams has always been stupid. It creates imbalances. Getting stuck in New England’s 4 team pod the past 20 years has severely disadvantaged the bills, Jets, and Dolphins. Going to 3 wildcard teams is a nice start to correcting this. Now, make the 4 team division winner finish .500 or better.

There’s too many divisions. If a division winner is not .500 or better, then they should go to an extra wildcard team. If that happens to be the below .500 division winner, then so be it and at least they’re seeded properly.

I thought Griese was very funny last night. “Well y’all wanted to see some Jarrett Stidham”😃😃😃😃

No it won’t. Steelers are a 7 pt dog on Sunday. Then Steelers have to win again in the 1st round of playoffs. That’s a 15-20% probability of it even mattering. Even if that does happen, Pittsburgh is a 30 minute plane ride and the stadium will be at least 80% empty. And there are five 10-5 teams so we have no idea who we’ll playing in Round 1. Not worth the injury risk.

Hopefully it’s just a sprain and he’s ok in 2 weeks. Doesn’t have to be 100% to help our offense. Defenses must gameplan for him.

Milano is so disruptive in this defense. If the decision is between paying Milano or Edmunds, I’d pick Milano without thinking twice unless the injury thing is something chronic. I’m sure you’d get at least a 2nd rounder from somebody like Pete Carroll for Edmunds based on his measurables and Pro Bowls.

Edmunds has zero playmaking ability or instincts. He’s a highly athletic robot out there. Not sure you can teach him how to anticipate or make a play on the ball. He should play lots of pickup hoops in the offseason. Not sure how else to teach a guy anticipation and ball skills.

Using probabilities...as a 7 point underdog against Cleveland, Pittsburgh has around a 30% chance of winning next Sunday. And they’d probably be pick’em or worse at home against Colts, Ravens, or Browns and slight favorites against dolphins. So that’s about a 15% chance of Pittsburgh winning their next 2 games. Not worth the risk of injury for a 15% chance of having to make a 30 minute plane ride to play in an empty stadium.

The 3 seed vs the 2 seed is not important enough to risk injury of any starter. Tonight’s game was the one we wanted. Avoiding KC in the 2nd round was the most important thing after wrapping up the division. Pittsburgh could easily lose their 1st round game. Regardless, Cleveland is favored by 7 points next week. Rest your core guys and get ready for the 1st round game. The 2 vs the 3 seed isnt important enough this year.

Love me some Moss lately. Dude gets the tough yards. That’s all this offense needs. Get tough yards, move the chains, and avoid having to use Allen as our short yardage back.

Get all the starters out now.

Wow!!!!!!’

Moss!!! Hell of a run.

Punting??????

Great tackle by Milano

F these refs. NFL refs are horrible

I don’t think it touched his hand off the bounce. It was close though.

Nice. Wasted timeout. Thank you.

Start running the ball. Nice long drive here that gets some points.

I’d be shocked if we don’t see stidham in 2nd half.

That’s how you earn respect from your teammates. Newton probably has 50 pounds on Poyer. I’m sure Poyer will be fine for playoffs. Love that hit.

Start feeding Moss now.

McDaniel out-thought himself on that drive. Keep getting points on every drive now. Feed Moss here.

Embarrassing effort by Addison.

Do an option roll out here. Josh either runs it in easily or Tight end is open.
