Saturday Football Thread: PIT@BAL & HOU@KC (no Bills stuff please)

[UKBillFan]

Two Wilson plays have bascially cost the Steelers today - the fumble in the red zone and that INT.

[Sojourner]

Wonder what Pickens thinks of all this.

Come on. Chucking five yard passes to players with no one and the same zip code doesn’t make you an MVP.

Lamar’s scramble ability makes defenses have to key on him which takes LBs out of coverage, as well as gives their receiving time to get open.

36 TD's to 4 INT's.  Those are crazy numbers.

 

And another 5 fumbles lost. Those count as turnovers as well...or do those not count on other teams?

Neither team looks like a division champion 

[zow2]

What a great sequence.  Mr. MVP Lamar throws a terrible red zone pick, and then Russ gives it away.

 

I personally think forcing Pittsburgh to play with max effort vs KC and Cinci really could benefit a certain team we all like.

Not that crazy when his receivers consistently have 5 yards of separation in the endzone. And when the Ravens consistently throw the ball on goal-to-go situations instead of running it.

[Ralonzo]

Didn't they institute these stupid taunting penalties for exactly what Humphries did there?

[Maine-iac]

Not the best choice but even worse was the throw.  It was 3 yards behind the guy.

No but people can’t deal with the fact that Lamar had pedestrian stats last season (compared to Dak, Josh, CMC,) and won MVP.  and this season he’s blowing away his career best in everything and he WON’T win MVP.  The media can’t wrap their heads around that and Josh has done amazing things.

But you have to factor in the addition of King Henry - counting today's 133 yards Henry has over 1600 yards rushing.  In contrast Allen lost his top two WR's.  Context is important.

Who’s in first in the north with a dub?

Welp, bring on the Broncos, Ravens and Chiefs.

 

Make that Bengals, Ravens and Chiefs.

Offense wise, the Chiefs are less of a threat than the Ravens. Though, in terms of defense, it's the other way round.

True. But with @ KC you have to beat them and the super natural aura/luck they have. Not easy.

Unfortunately Henry is kryptonite if he is on

Russ single handedly lost this game. 

Agree those were two very bad TO's resulting in a 14 point swing. 

[paulmm3]

I think Baltimore is a stronger team than KC. Steelers are worse than both of them but prob 4th best in the AFC imo

Steelers on conference record.

[Big Blitz]

Now if Houston beats the Ravens and the Steelers beat the Chiefs on Wednesday everything is turned upside down.  
 

So, we will know on Christmas - this isn’t over yet.  The 1 seed and the AFC North.  Still TBD

[gonzo1105]

Warren should be getting the bulk of the Carries

[Livinginthepast]

Brady lauds Wilson's "escapibility" then he gets sacked the next play.
