They won’t do anything unless they find a better QB.  Missing on Pickett was pretty huge.   If I’m Pittsburgh I take a big swing and trade up in the draft for a QB to start in 2026. 
 

Instead they’ll probably sign Aaron Rodgers

 

There's no point looking for a QB from this class. Especially from where they're drafting.

[Ralonzo]

Is there a reason Jackson was under center for like 10 seconds except for warming his hands on the center's taint?

[paulmm3]

It's not just Russell Wilson. Pittsburgh is pretty light on good players anywhere except TJ Watt. I don't see the Steelers back in the playoffs for a bit.

Steelers had no answer for the Ravens RPO.

 

If I’m a defensive coordinator I’m doing everything in my power to stop the run and keeping Lamar in the pocket. Make him throw 30 attempts even if it means hanging your DBs out to dry a bit.

I'm taking a safety off the field and play 5 DL.

Ya I'm also kind of predicting A rod there. 
 

Him, Darnold, or a trade for cousins.

 

Their options are gonna be very limited

Yeah, he was collecting the love note from the media. Brown ink and all.

That’s why I said they need to take a big swing and trade up.

Clown said BAL gets HOU next. Maybe they saw the NFL script already….

Don’t put it past him he knew the teams making the 4 teamer last year in college

I hate the playoffs. Everyone I want to win always loses.

On offense their running game is scary.  You can definitely throw on their secondary.  

And that’s the rub - ya gotta put up points so they’re forced to abandon the run. Can’t let Henry go off on you on the first goddam play from scrimmage.

I don't think there's even anyone of value to do that.

Bro. No f-ing way am I getting an opponent to sign a jersey on the field when you just whooped us. Handshakes and congrats, sure but a signing after jersey swaps?!?

 

GEEEZ LOUISE!

Jameis would look great in black and gold!

Trading up for sanders or cam ward seems like it’s approaching what the niners did with Trey Lance territory

82% of Henry’s yards are when the game is level or the ravens have a lead. 
 

its 81.8% but you get it 

[paulmm3]

This is not the year to look for a QB in the draft. Trading up, picking high, or otherwise. Go after Darnold if you need a QB

The Bills won’t do it because they stick with scheme but I’m going 4-3 with Milano, Williams, Bernard on the field, I’m taking Hamlin off the field and I’m having Johnson play the 2nd safety but as a guy that still plays Nickle. Rapp is playing the high safety, especially with the likelihood Flowers isn’t playing. 
 

That means Johnson can play the run and matchup with one of the TEs. Benford and Rasul on Bateman and Milano/Williams on the other TE

Pittsburgh should fire Tomlin for starting Wilson over Fields all year. At this point they have a busted down Wilson with a very limited skill set and still don't know who Fields could be. 

 

At worst they could have had a pick in the QB draft range too. I mean it was a win win. They have to tank sometime.

It's an interesting stat but I wonder how it correlates to what percentage of time the Ravens are tied or have the lead.
