The Steelers tend to win these sort of games.

Why?

The Dolphins are good at beating bad teams at home.

He’s better than both the Chiefs’ starting tackles.

Yes

Funny thing is that THE BILLS got all the calls in the Chiefs playoff game last year, including the biggest call of the game (by far) on Hardman’s fumble through the end zone, which reversed the call on the field on the scantest of evidence. NBC Sunday night game is excellent, too: Bengals at Chargers. I just hope I’m in the mood to watch it.

We have excellent O-line depth. It’s time for it to show up, after going a season and a half with basically no injuries.

Just re-watched the playoff game from last year on NFL Network. Josh had an incredible game…almost perfect, really. Four huge drops (two by Sherfield, one by Cook, and of course one by Diggs) just killed us. Defense was bad, too. KC did not punt and averaged 8 yards per snap. Brady’s playcalling hurt. Way too predictable and never took a shot downfield on second and short. A great game to watch.

Bad argument. The Pats also recently cut JuJu Smith-Schuster, who is now playing a prominent role in KC.

Who is this guy?

I believe he does, but only for paid subscribers (of which I am not one...)

It was never a good idea to start him in the first place…Richardson needs to play, for better or worse.

As I noted last fall, this is exactly what Caleb did constantly his last season at USC. It continues to be a huge problem and speaks to the possibility that--despite his athletic talents--Williams has difficulty processing what he's seeing on the field. This has sometimes been referred to as "seeing ghosts" and it is not always a correctable problem. FWIW, In one of the TSW mock drafts in April, I got destroyed for taking Jayden Daniels for the Bears over Williams with the first overall pick. It's too early to write Williams off completely, but there are a ton of red flags here and we could be looking at another Bryce Young-type situation, especially given the talent Williams was given to work with...

Dome game in a warm weather location in December, packed with Mafiosi…seems like a cakewalk.

I still don’t understand why the Jests traded him to us…makes no sense.

Not gonna lie, the Steelers are my second favorite team and it’s not close. Talk about a franchise that knows its identity…and Tomlin is a great coach. Never count them out…they’re going to smoke the Ravens on Sunday.

No, it was not.

Anyone who thinks the Steelers aren’t making the playoffs hasn’t been paying attention the last 15 years or so…

Anyone know what the Bills’ magic number is? Would it be possible to clinch the division next week with a win over KC and losses by the three tomato cans? I don’t ever remember a team clinching that early…

I don’t feel strongly about the Jones part…he may well be useless.

I actually feel like, with good coaching, the Giants are a playoff team. There is talent on the roster and Jones has potential to be a top 15 QB

Dead cap walking...

To continue a discussion from another thread, people are foolishly counting out the Steelers. They still have a realistic chance to win the AFCN and I don’t see any scenario where they are not at least a WC team, which should only require 9 wins this year.

The Steelers have a brutal schedule the rest of the way, but it would be idiotic to count them out, especially since Tomlin appears to have breathed life into the corpse of Russell Wilson. At a minimum you can count on them winning at least one game each against the Bengals and Ravens.

I would argue that the Dolphins are in the worst shape of the three. As you said, they have a flawed roster, and are probably looking at a serious decline for Tyreek in the next year or so. Worse yet, they are now committed to Tua, who is injury prone and, even when healthy, is not good enough to beat good teams late in the season. The Jets still have a lot of talent and will get a chance to start over with a new coach and QB next year. And of course the Pats’ rebuild has already begun and shows at least some promise.
