I didn't expect the Steelers to win, but this was a Christmas embarrassment. Three embarrassments in a row. Nothing positive to take away from this stretch. Winning one of them would've been promising.
Positive is that they stopped using Najee so much and put Warren in, who has been much more productive. The ball hasnt bounced our way in the past 3 games, many forced fumbles that didnt get recovered by us as well as dropped ints. They will right the ship.
@@hiimbob2121 actually I thought the Steelers would perform a lot better than they did. I'm a huge Kansas City fan of course been that way for years. I thought thought they might drop this one, but they'll probably drop the next one to Denver and keep everybody out for the playoffs. I think it probably is time for Tomlin to move on.
@@jamesraymondsmith- Would be difficult to find anyone who could do as good as Tomlin has. Cincinnati was in a similar situation with Marvin Lewis who was consistently getting into the playoffs but not advancing before they made a change after 13 or 14 seasons.
If this is Tomlin's all-in year, I think it's time to move on. We've seen his ceiling. Yes, there's bad execution at points, but a top-notch coach creates a game plan to match his roster.
@@anthonypicano1670 yep. Count me among those who held out hope that this year would be different. That Tomlin figured some things out. I could lay the blame at Arthur Smith's or Teryl Austin's feet, but it ultimately comes down to Tomlin.
Listen to the after game press conferences and tell me if you think this team is going anywhere. Tomlin taking 0 accountability from his embarrassing coaching and failure to prepare his team for hard games. Russel just saying Rah Rah slogans into the abyss instead of recognizing his own poor play and pattern when it comes to putting the ball in harms way. No one's taking accountability.
How do you know they are not taking accountability? What do you expect them to say to satisfy your disappointment? How would you go about making changes to win the first playoff game they have? Why do you think verbal assurance will make you feel better? Only thing that matters are results. They don’t owe you “good” answers to your emotional questions.
Thank you DK, Chris and Greg, I hoped to see a better game by the Steelers, but it looked like their last two. Hopefully they win the next game. Thanks for this show. Merry Christmas.
@jerryyeager1307 agreed! To be out covering this garbage on one of the biggest holidays of the year. It brings me a modicum of solace after a loss. I am appreciative of DK and Co.'s coverage.
Not to make excuses but 3 games in 11 days. At Philly, at Baltimore without their only real playmaker on offense and then, oh yeah, the Super Bowl champ Chiefs at home. Today was a bad game, no doubt, but that's a tough schedule for any team.
I making the point it's not the last three weeks Steelers also got bullied in the first Ravens match, couldn't even crack the red zone, barely cracked into Ravens Territory, had to kick field goals all day... if Ravens make the two relatively easy field goals they missed, Steelers lose that game. and Minkah saved Steelers 14 pts single handedly on two ankle tackles. Then Steelers got bullied again, lost badly to the browns in some snow. They come back and Beat Bengals and Browns, then people start talking super bowls. ????? Now with Mike Tomlin, there's always been some kind of collective insanity, that winning seasons means something, and that not having played an elite team all year guarantees them a super bowl run, but we've been bullied all this season, honestly, If you actually watching the games, you see our secondary and o-line have been pushed around on some bad fundamentals since Dallas. and our defensive front, the stars of Steelers D, got pushed around the last 3 games. Tomlin is a JV coach in the NFL, and Steelers are a JV Team, period, and now that Tomlin is talking that way, I feel vindicated
I love that you guys are not company men. You hold the Steelers and their coaching staff accountable for their poor approach to the game. The only Junior varsity on this team is the coaching staff. And that’s from top to bottom. For years I never doubted the talent. I always worried about the coaching. And now it seems I should stop worrying and take it on the chin and stay expecting nothing until I see some different faces in the coaching positions. The media has fooled a lot of people with this notion that Tomlin is a top 3 coach in the league. He’s more like a bottom 3 coach. He has torn down the Steeler mystique along with the rest of his staff. Austin should’ve been gone at least 2 years ago and the offensive play calling has been trash no matter who Tomlin hires. It’s tragic!
Good call William. When Flores wasn't promoted over Austin, that's all I needed to know about the direction of this team. It ain't gonna change, so enjoy the suck!!
We’re cooked. It’s just that simple. This 3 game stretch showed me everything I needed to see. I’m still getting Canada vibes from this archaic offensive scheme of Smiths. It’s week 17 and if we haven’t figured it out by now then we won’t. God awful performance again by our Steelers today. Merry Xmas everyone
Russ's limitations were painfully obvious today. Overall play calling is poor. Too much dependence on the defense or special teams to create points or bail out the offense with favorable field position. This game, especially the second half, was tough to watch.
Sadly my knee-jerk response is that I’m really starting to get that sick feeling in my gut that with consistent play like this makes us a 1 and out playoff team.
As far as Im concerned, the season ended last week. It signified the typical late season collapse, today just clarified it. They arent going anywhere and the future looks bad as well. They shot their shot, and it blew their own foot off. The o-line, after all these years, is STILL a mess, we have ONE legit receiver, an octogenarian quarterback, and a defense that doesnt defend. Cinci might put 50 on them. A few good players on a team of mostly "just-a-guys" isnt working. Its time for a new approach, and as much as I like Tomlin, he's proven that hes never, ever, ever, going to elevate this team to being actually good again.
@@yancyjenkinssr1824 I disagree only because beating Philly IN Philly was never going to happen, so the result was what was expected. But against Baltimore, where you can win the division, knock your archrivals down a bit, and improve your momentum towards the playoffs, you come out and lay a turd? It was over then IMO.
@@joemanly8386 right.. he’s made his own mistakes but a lot of the poor offensive performance is due to poor pass protection IMO. Receivers may not be getting open like they should either. Things just aren’t clicking.
This showed that GP wasn't the thing the Offense missed during those losses!!!🤔 it's the scheme that the OC isn't making. I saw Russ looking for GP on most of those passing plays and when he wasn't open Russ panicked.
Not just the Steelers playing, but Netflix sucks, too!!! Thanks you guys. Looking forward to Daily Shot tomorrow, DK. Please find something to help bring a smile!!!
The division was probably lost by these las three weeks, now all that’s left is to see if Tomlin can win a playoff game. I’m kinda hoping he doesn’t so that the Rooneys make some meaningful changes in the offseason.
Last 3 weeks have been awful Broderick horrendous, Russ only good at moon balls against weak teams. Fields gives us a better chance against high calibre teams
I’ve been saying we need to go back to Fields, everyone talked so much shit but this is what Wilson is he can’t beat good teams. Put the young buck back in, if his passing is off he still has his legs Russ sacked 5 times we don’t have the o line or the receivers for Wilson
Eagles game, we choked.. Rat Birds game we choked, This game... We got got by the Zebras, Extended a crucial chiefs drive. Nobody talking about why NY didn't stop play for review. We've seen NY Stop play to review a first down play in week 5,6,7,8,9 ... ????
TEAMS HAVE UPS AND DOWNS PEAK AND VALLEY IN A SEASON. I THINK THE STEELERS ARE A GOOD TEAM BUT THEY HAVE TO PLAY A CERTAIN WAY TO WIN. THEY HAVE TO GET TURNOVERS AND NOT TURN THE BALL OVER BUT LATELY THEY HAVE BEEN TURNING THE BALL OVER AND KILLING THEMSELVES AND NOT GETTING ANY TURNOVERS. THE STEELERS HAVE AN AVERAGE OL I THINK YOU CAN WIN WITH RUSSELL WILSON BUT YOU HAVE TO UPGRADE THE SKILL POSITION. THEY HAVE 1 DECENT WRS.
I can’t see anything changing whatsoever because when your HC seems to take zero accountability or acknowledging the problems that we have and committing to addressing them, how can there be any positive progress? I’ve always been a Coach T man but I think he’s become very insulated in his HC role after 17 seasons. I don’t know anymore, these past 3 games have really been a big reality check for us as fans and it’s shown me that there HAS to be change because it’s rinse and repeat again, after so much hope. A wasted season for many players- and us long suffering fans. 🖤💛🖤💛🖤💛🖤💛🖤💛🖤💛 Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺🤝🏻🇺🇸
This is what I mean. This team is not even close to being a Super Bowl team. I will be happy with our first Play Off Victory. Build from there over the next couple of years.
If the Steelers are "are considered no greater than a tier two team" then maybe your General Manager needs to be replaced? The only saving grace I can think of is if the GM was for continuing to start the multi-dimensional Justin Fields over Russ but was overruled by Tomlin.
DK you mentioned the defense wasn't happy with their performances in wins earlier this season. What's their attitude after what we've all seen the last 3 weeks? #J1Q
Let’s Sign Wilson to 10 years… man that guy really elevates the offense and boy is he fast and mobile in the pocket… and consistently thrown the opposing team about 3 weeks in a row… what a leader
Forget this year. We know where this is going. The hard part is that we probably know where this is going NEXT year, too. I think that is really tough for people to stomach. It’s the same thing every year at this point.
Merry Christmas and happy new year to the dk family. Too much to unpack in these last 3 games. The evidence is clear on how to beat the steelers. Get the ball out quick. Get an early lead, sit on the lead while we get taken out of the game plan. The patriots beat us the same way in the past. Both our tackles were terrible, or were they? Was it a bad game plan to begin with? #7 was so good at throwing us to victory, that we forgot what it looks like to have top tier qb play! Najee, you should be our 2nd back when warren gets tired. And friermuth and ball security is showing up more regularly now. The defense, oh yeah, WHAT DEFENSE? Frustrating, but im still here for the long haul. GO STEELERS!
Any coach (that the Rooneys would hire) could coach the Steelers to a winning record and one and done in the playoffs. The talent is there we have seen flashes of it. The inconsistency has to do with coaching. Cowher took the Steelers to 6 AFC championship games. He knew how to hire great coordinators!
Ever since the Philadelphia game when they found out that they were in the playoffs it's like they got comfortable and haven't had that killer mentality. And this happens every year that is to say their identity is a reflection of the head coach
The damage was done before this game. It should shock no one to lose to the Chiefs. This game shouldn't have been as important as it was. You gotta handle business BEFORE you go up against someone like the Chiefs.
Finally thank you DK and the rest of you guys. See the Jalen Warren is the better back. Period now we need one good corner we don’t have one. If those guys upfront don’t get to the quarterback we’re done they can’t guard a baby in a phone booth anyways, go Steelers.
Can we get the pitchforks out yet?!! I see 2 big problems, Defense is too passive and Russel is not throwing when he hits the step, he is holding the ball, looked like the short over the middle outlets were constantly open, maybe he just can't see them, if the is the case the need to funnel the blocking or design different quick spots to go to. This is sad. Way more mad about the defense though.
The elite offense steelers had was that Ben Brown and Bell the O line or coaching the work of the head coach? Same with the elite defense over last 5 years was that TJ Cam, Minkah ? It feels like this team has had all these great players and nothing to show for.
I like Russ but I said it his first game with the moon balls that his passes were prayers. He was not accurate and his numbers showed it. He either dumps it off or goes deep. I know a lot of ppl dont like justin but I think the team did better with him in . They marched. They did not HAVE TO HAVE big plays to win. He was accurate with his passes and was the second leading rusher. He had the team at near 5-1 but the defense finally failed after being on the field 75 plays. They were better in the redzone. Now you are stuck with Russ. You arent going to be that lucky with moonballs going forward. Lets not forget that GP had to be load managed with Justin on effort issues.
Russ is not playing well. He hasn't played well since they beat the Bengals in Cincy. The Bengals probably have the worst defense in the NFL. Russ hasn't played well against good teams.
DK said it all, we’re not 10 years ago, there’s no innovation or imagination in the offense or defense, sad to say, but it’s time to get some new blood in the organization from the head coach on down, because this hasn’t worked since 2010 and the only 1 common denominator is Coach T 🤷🏾♂️
It's the trenches...both sides of the ball, physically outplayed. That's the theme of the last 3 games. You can't stop the run without controlling the line, the A & B gaps. When you get no pass rush, can't defend the run, the 3-4 is a defense subject to getting torched. Consequently, you can't run the ball effectively if you don't on the offensive side. When you can't run the ball, you get what we've seen, a defense with its ears pinned back and a consistent siege of the pocket. If you can't burn them with a pass on a stacked box, they'll just keep coming. It's fundamentals, as it always is.
Russ has the worst pocket presence of any starting qb in the NFL. I don’t want to hear anything about the o line. His internal clock is a second slower than any other qb. He literally took 4 sacks after reaching the top of his drop and not moving one inch forward with yards of space to move forward in the pocket. It’s mind boggling how bad the awareness is for a veteran qb.
It wasn't the 3 games in 11 days it's the fact it seems like they just don't show up with fight in them. What happened to smash mouth football? Hit them before they hit you. There's no killer instinct in them. I remember the leadership from 05 to 2010 that would never let this happen. Leadership within the players. You know which ones I'm talking about.
It's pass time to move on from Mike Tomlin and Smith..why....? Never had a plan for "Life after Big Ben- coaching, GM Clock management- awful Team unprepared- coaching No changes at halftime- coaching Can't scheme any game changing plays.-coaching Refuse to change- coaching Still believes lets keep it close and get into the 4th quarter- failed idealogy Stupid predicable play calling - coaching Never schemes to playes strengths- coaching You can't blame it on Wilson's pick..Pickens didn't run his route, he quit....freeing up the safety...-coaching Can't blame Muth..It's was desperation time and he was trying to make something happen Tomlim may be a good guy, the players love him, he hasn't had a loosing seaon...But He will never win a championship... Another year end collapse... We have talent...coaching has failed our players and fans... #Rooney #artrooney #steelers
"I brought this up with the head coach and he looked at me like I had three heads and pretended I didn't know what I was getting at." That's why Tomlin should have absolutely zilch to do with the offense-as if Canada's tenure didn't prove that enough. Speaking of, this team, at times, looks like it's still being called by Canada, focusing too much on running or passing to the sidelines instead of the rest of the field.
As a longtime Steelers fan, I only expect the Steelers to make the Playoffs year after year. So I'm rather nonchalant overall. I can't say I'm surprised at this point: 1. Wilson is making mistakes - fumbles, pics- that he wasn't when he first came on to play. He's also holding on the ball longer abd that didnt work against The Chiefs. He's pretty much past his prime now. Effective but very flawed . 2. The Defense hasnt been able to make enough plays . Not enough sacks or even three and outs its going to be a tough playoffs for the Steelers.
I mentioned 3 Games ago that Steelers would not Win another game this Season - they are just not a very good Team Offensively Both OT’s can’t Pass Protect, WR’s can’t separate, plays take too long to develop - just a bad NFL Offense once
I don’t understand how we don’t make Warren the feature and utilize him more! We moved the ball with him but went away from him!! We could have won this game if we took advantage of opportunities.
DK, more sloppy play combined with subpar talent @ certain positions and the need for an upgrade @ DC (that Tomlin keeps hands off of) and an upgrade from Pat Meyer. They probably need to admit Broderick Jones is not ready to start anywhere near that Oline and bench him. Dan Moore Jr also needs to go. He’s not good enough. Lastly, a RB Warren’s size just won’t hold up in an 18 game season. His touches need to be complimentary-he simply does not have the physical attributes to be a feature RB over the course of an entire NFL season.
Looks like another year when "the standard is the standard" applies. The standard being that we limp into the playoffs as a wild card team. Play 1 away post season game and then get stuffed before skulking off into the night, whilst better teams move on.
I didn't expect the Steelers to win, but this was a Christmas embarrassment. Three embarrassments in a row. Nothing positive to take away from this stretch. Winning one of them would've been promising.
Positive is that they stopped using Najee so much and put Warren in, who has been much more productive. The ball hasnt bounced our way in the past 3 games, many forced fumbles that didnt get recovered by us as well as dropped ints. They will right the ship.
@@hiimbob2121 actually I thought the Steelers would perform a lot better than they did. I'm a huge Kansas City fan of course been that way for years.

At this point if there are any Tomlin defenders left out there please please please state your case.
They're all on NFL network and ESPN.....woke!!!
@@pato6672quit with the woke stuff, not every body is in the stone ages like you
good takes . this is achiefsfan
Let’s Sign Wilson to 10 years… man that guy really elevates the offense and boy is he fast and mobile in the pocket… and consistently thrown the opposing team about 3 weeks in a row… what a leader
This team is light years away
I hope JF sticks around next year AND learned from Russ this year. We so need what he has to offer. 😊
Forget this year. We know where this is going. The hard part is that we probably know where this is going NEXT year, too. I think that is really tough for people to stomach. It’s the same thing every year at this point.
Lots of issues and no answers from any part of this team.
5:58 my exact thoughts on that play. It was ridiculous. I am not sure what Sutton was doing on that play.
Merry Christmas!
to everyone except the players and coaches
Merry Christmas and happy new year to the dk family. Too much to unpack in these last 3 games. The evidence is clear on how to beat the steelers. Get the ball out quick. Get an early lead, sit on the lead while we get taken out of the game plan. The patriots beat us the same way in the past. Both our tackles were terrible, or were they? Was it a bad game plan to begin with? #7 was so good at throwing us to victory, that we forgot what it looks like to have top tier qb play! Najee, you should be our 2nd back when warren gets tired. And friermuth and ball security is showing up more regularly now. The defense, oh yeah, WHAT DEFENSE? Frustrating, but im still here for the long haul. GO STEELERS!
Any coach (that the Rooneys would hire) could coach the Steelers to a winning record and one and done in the playoffs. The talent is there we have seen flashes of it. The inconsistency has to do with coaching. Cowher took the Steelers to 6 AFC championship games. He knew how to hire great coordinators!
Ever since the Philadelphia game when they found out that they were in the playoffs it's like they got comfortable and haven't had that killer mentality. And this happens every year that is to say their identity is a reflection of the head coach
The damage was done before this game. It should shock no one to lose to the Chiefs. This game shouldn't have been as important as it was. You gotta handle business BEFORE you go up against someone like the Chiefs.
Dont expect another win this year guys
So much for the Wilson experience, I knew Tomlin should have left fields in. I guarantee fields would have won us one of these games
Agreed been saying it and dumb Steelers fans been glazing Wilson for beating bad teams with no defenses. Put fields back in and let’s roll
Finally thank you DK and the rest of you guys. See the Jalen Warren is the better back. Period now we need one good corner we don’t have one. If those guys upfront don’t get to the quarterback we’re done they can’t guard a baby in a phone booth anyways, go Steelers.
Can we get the pitchforks out yet?!! I see 2 big problems, Defense is too passive and Russel is not throwing when he hits the step, he is holding the ball, looked like the short over the middle outlets were constantly open, maybe he just can't see them, if the is the case the need to funnel the blocking or design different quick spots to go to. This is sad. Way more mad about the defense though.
3:57 Because despite how frustrating he is Najee has had 4 consecutive 1000 yard seasons
How many yards does he get when it matters?
@ hey I’m not defending him
Is there even some sort of “scheme”?
Hey DK after today’s performance, do you think the Steelers are pretenders or contenders?? Keep up the good work!!
Very frustrating watching the Steelers Struggle so often...
QB is the issue. Its obvious. I hear a lot of blame going around except for the person at the top of the list. "Let Russ Cook". Excuses..
The elite offense steelers had was that Ben Brown and Bell the O line or coaching the work of the head coach? Same with the elite defense over last 5 years was that TJ Cam, Minkah ? It feels like this team has had all these great players and nothing to show for.
DK...Great coverage. But the Steelers have been on a slow slide for 3 weeks. The offense is dying. What is the problem?
Steeler fan since 1972:
My fastest observation is GIVE THE BALL TO JAYLEN WARREN every run play.
Thank you.❤
I like Russ but I said it his first game with the moon balls that his passes were prayers. He was not accurate and his numbers showed it. He either dumps it off or goes deep. I know a lot of ppl dont like justin but I think the team did better with him in . They marched. They did not HAVE TO HAVE big plays to win. He was accurate with his passes and was the second leading rusher. He had the team at near 5-1 but the defense finally failed after being on the field 75 plays. They were better in the redzone. Now you are stuck with Russ. You arent going to be that lucky with moonballs going forward. Lets not forget that GP had to be load managed with Justin on effort issues.
The standard is the standard. Lose every game in December and one and one and done in playoffs. This team needs a make over especially the top part.
Russ is not playing well. He hasn't played well since they beat the Bengals in Cincy. The Bengals probably have the worst defense in the NFL. Russ hasn't played well against good teams.
DK said it all, we’re not 10 years ago, there’s no innovation or imagination in the offense or defense, sad to say, but it’s time to get some new blood in the organization from the head coach on down, because this hasn’t worked since 2010 and the only 1 common denominator is Coach T 🤷🏾♂️
It's the trenches...both sides of the ball, physically outplayed. That's the theme of the last 3 games. You can't stop the run without controlling the line, the A & B gaps. When you get no pass rush, can't defend the run, the 3-4 is a defense subject to getting torched. Consequently, you can't run the ball effectively if you don't on the offensive side. When you can't run the ball, you get what we've seen, a defense with its ears pinned back and a consistent siege of the pocket. If you can't burn them with a pass on a stacked box, they'll just keep coming.
It's fundamentals, as it always is.
unbelievable 😢😢😢
Russ has the worst pocket presence of any starting qb in the NFL. I don’t want to hear anything about the o line. His internal clock is a second slower than any other qb. He literally took 4 sacks after reaching the top of his drop and not moving one inch forward with yards of space to move forward in the pocket. It’s mind boggling how bad the awareness is for a veteran qb.
It wasn't the 3 games in 11 days it's the fact it seems like they just don't show up with fight in them. What happened to smash mouth football? Hit them before they hit you. There's no killer instinct in them. I remember the leadership from 05 to 2010 that would never let this happen. Leadership within the players. You know which ones I'm talking about.
chiefs are the best team of our generation, these things happen
It's pass time to move on from Mike Tomlin and Smith..why....?
Never had a plan for "Life after Big Ben- coaching, GM
Clock management- awful
Team unprepared- coaching
No changes at halftime- coaching
Can't scheme any game changing plays.-coaching
Refuse to change- coaching
Still believes lets keep it close and get into the 4th quarter- failed idealogy
Stupid predicable play calling - coaching
Never schemes to playes strengths- coaching
You can't blame it on Wilson's pick..Pickens didn't run his route, he quit....freeing up the safety...-coaching
Can't blame Muth..It's was desperation time and he was trying to make something happen
Tomlim may be a good guy, the players love him, he hasn't had a loosing seaon...But He will never win a championship...
Another year end collapse...
We have talent...coaching has failed our players and fans...
#Rooney #artrooney #steelers
If I could like your comment 1000 times I would. Art Rooney II will never get it! We are screwed with Tomlin the FRAUD!!!
"I brought this up with the head coach and he looked at me like I had three heads and pretended I didn't know what I was getting at." That's why Tomlin should have absolutely zilch to do with the offense-as if Canada's tenure didn't prove that enough. Speaking of, this team, at times, looks like it's still being called by Canada, focusing too much on running or passing to the sidelines instead of the rest of the field.
Why's Russ holding the ball so long? What is going on the last 4 games?
Hopefully you can catch it. When anyone open let him know..
THIS GUY AND RAMON FOSTER WERE ALL WOO! WOO! WOO! ON RUSSEL WILSON'S NUTS! FIELDS SHOULD START AT HOUSTON... 2 DIDN'T TURN OVER THE BALL
As a longtime Steelers fan, I only expect the Steelers to make the Playoffs year after year. So I'm rather nonchalant overall.
I can't say I'm surprised at this point:
1. Wilson is making mistakes - fumbles, pics- that he wasn't when he first came on to play. He's also holding on the ball longer abd that didnt work against The Chiefs. He's pretty much past his prime now. Effective but very flawed .
2. The Defense hasnt been able to make enough plays . Not enough sacks or even three and outs
its going to be a tough playoffs for the Steelers.
The standard is standard last 8 years time for tomlin to go bye bye
I mentioned 3 Games ago that Steelers would not Win another game this Season - they are just not a very good Team Offensively
Both OT’s can’t Pass Protect, WR’s can’t separate, plays take too long to develop - just a bad NFL Offense once
Man you could see the defensive miscommunication happen all day the players yelling at each other to get the players in position.
Starting fields is the way out
I don’t understand how we don’t make Warren the feature and utilize him more! We moved the ball with him but went away from him!! We could have won this game if we took advantage of opportunities.
The chiefs used your run game to run the clock simple
DK, more sloppy play combined with subpar talent @ certain positions and the need for an upgrade @ DC (that Tomlin keeps hands off of) and an upgrade from Pat Meyer. They probably need to admit Broderick Jones is not ready to start anywhere near that Oline and bench him. Dan Moore Jr also needs to go. He’s not good enough. Lastly, a RB Warren’s size just won’t hold up in an 18 game season. His touches need to be complimentary-he simply does not have the physical attributes to be a feature RB over the course of an entire NFL season.
Najee Harris why on earth does he keep getting carries.
The substandard is the substandard around here anymore.
The ravens and Steelers aren't equal.. Ravens are much better.
Also, the bengals will show you how to properly use and utilize a #1 receiver next week
Looks like another year when "the standard is the standard" applies. The standard being that we limp into the playoffs as a wild card team. Play 1 away post season game and then get stuffed before skulking off into the night, whilst better teams move on.
Is Troy due back anytime SOON??? 🙏
Not this year
Or a second coming of Rod Woodson
