Since I didn't watch the offending game I'm over it already but thanks Moe.
This may seem odd coming from me but if I could vote I would go with McCaffrey over Purdy. I think he's a more consistent and dynamic player. Purdy is good at following Kyle's orders most of the time but doesn't really do anything for me to warrant Most Valuable Player [with MV being the operable words]...and sorry bout the Steelers. Their season isn't over yet though.
This will be the most consequential three-week period that I can recall. The Ravens, Iggles and Cowboys are the only three teams to clinch playoff spots. Only six teams have been eliminated. There's a lot up for grabs in a very short stretch of the season.
I see your point, Ms M & I agree with you. McCaffrey is a better choice.
In other news Trubitsky has been benched & Mason Rudolph will start [what do the Steelers have to lose IMHO]? Fitzpatrick is out, Kazee is suspended for that hit [for the rest of the season]. And now the Bengals at home....whatever. Some of these guys have bad attitudes, do not accept the fact it is a TEAM sport .....I will not name names.
I would rather focus on some very good football that's coming our way in the immediate future. You all have some very good teams that could go far....I am happy about that.
And I still wonder........despite the fact you wouldn't turn down a date with him, Ms M, will Tomlin be able to reign in his team?
Wow, talk about an interesting turn of events. Way to go Seahawks. LOL
Moe, I wish I knew the answer to your question. What can he do or try that he hasn't done or tried already?
I'm hearing that Steel Nation is ready to move on from Tomlin. He's been the coach for as long as many of them have been alive. I'll be shocked if they fire him because I think he caught a terrible break with his QBs in the post-Big[[mouth) Ben era and that the difference between fighting for a playoff spot and being the best team in the AFC North is due to it.
In my own humble opinion, your defense is good enough for you to focus very heavily on offensive player acquisition in the offseason. Do that and you're a 10-12 win team in 2024.
I agree, Jerry. I would be shocked, too, if they fired Tomlin. The Rooney's are not known for firing quickly without a chance for salvation [at least that's what I call it]. But, I think they were ill prepared for "after Ben." Worse yet, they let him play knowing he was not the Ben that won those Super Bowls. And, they put their eggs in Pickett's basket. He wouldn't have been my choice but I am no expert. They do have a good defense but need to give their WR's a reality check as to football is a team sport. And they need a top notch CENTER!!!!!! Life after Pouncey has not been good for them, after some bonehead things [Enter one Kendrick Green].
And did you see Tom Brady's opinion of Kazee's suspension?
Never would I have thought Philly would lose that game.....
Brady talks a lot since he quit. Is he suggesting that a receiver not attempt to catch a ball if he thinks he might be at risk? Has he ever thrown a high ball that put one of his receivers in danger? I'm being facetious, because the answer is "yes". There was nothing wrong with that pass. Nothing. And Tom Brady, of all people, knows that QBs have two seconds or less to process a play and decide who to throw the ball to. There was nothing wrong with the pass that Minshew threw to Pittman. It was no more risky than any other pass that I've seen.
In case you're wondering, I think Tom Brady needs to shut the heck up when it comes to player safety because he's a freaking hypocrite.
I'm not a generally a fan of Mike Florio, but his reply to Brady here is spot on [about 3:20 mark of the video]:

This is a great response, Jerry!!!!! "You're complaining without a solution." Yep.
Today the Steelers play the Bengals. In Pittsburgh.....Mason Rudolph starts...[oh brother].
Impressive game Moe. Congrats!
Huh...
I thought the Steelers were playing Cincinnati today but they showed a video of the '70s Steel Curtain playing a bunch of little leaguers in Bengals uniforms. Was the game postponed?
HAHAHAHHA!!!
Thanks Ms M.......
Run Rudolph, Run!!!!!
The funny part about yesterday is that I didn't see the Steelers game. Yes, it was a national broadcast. But, when we sat down to watch it the station hasn't reached a contract with Direct TV to broadcast anything so the screen was blank. I saw 15 minutes of the end of it this morning, but will pick up the replay on NFL Network. This is the second time this year that this has happened to us.
They didn't have a set of rabbit ears?
Congrats on THAT game Jerry however...:p
I'm sitting here, looking at the clock... Just waiting...

Considering this isn't a home game, if I wasn't drinking Tito's I'd be doing the same but that stuff is too expensive to spill. HAHAHAHA
Yeaaaah, here we gooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good luck you two!
And... Just like that...

I'm with you, Sis. If we're missing from this thread after today, we need to tell Ralph where to send the flowers.
DAMN...But mad respect for your Fins Jerry. Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh my. Oh my. Oh my oh my oh my.
What a freaking game. Glad to take the win, but sorry it happened to your Boyz, Ms. M.
But we're both in so I'm cool with this one!
HOWEVER....don't get it twisted Ralph, you're coming to our house next week. Beware!!!!!!!:o
That's going to be a good game. Miami's playing Baltimore in a game that will decide the top seed in the AFC. And Atlanta, which lost to 3 of the 4 worst teams in the league [combined records 9-36] has to win both games and hope for help. Had we beat them, we would be 10-5 right now instead of 7-8. More of the same headaches for the fans.
Congrats Jerry! And sorry Ms M. But no need to worry about the playoffs either one of you.
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays Everyone!!!!!
It's all good Moe.
Now don't get me wrong, I don't like losing but knowing our ticket was punched even before the loss to the Bills has eased the sting of quite a few things. :cool:
It's been a heck of a football season though, one of the best I can remember in a while and I'm sure there are even more surprises and more excitement to come.
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!!!!!!
We were out of town yesterday & at least watched the game. That kicker for Miami deserves a pat on the back for his great efforts!!!!
I wish everyone Peace & happiness
And so we have some games today......yipee!
And congratulations Ralph. The Lions did it......Divisional Champs!!!
I hope everyne enjoys their day!!!!
Merry Christmas, SDF family. I'm praying that the day will be much more for you than you thought and that the many that are yet to come will be even better.
Jerry, it got a bit better with Kansas City losing to the Raiders!!!!!!! I'm seriously hoping that for the first time in a while KC doesn't seem to have home field advantage in the playoffs. Aww..........
Well Well, the Ravens beat the 49ers.....Brock Purdy was intercepted 4 times [I thought Purdy was "the future"]. Congrats to them.
Maybe they're one to beat.......
I'm settling in for a week of hearing about why the Dolphins will lose this weekend against Baltimore. I might beg to differ, but we'll see. We're banged up but I'm hoping we get a few of our wounded back for the game.
Kyle has to shoulder the majority of the responsibility for that loss ESPECIALLY when he realized his qb was frazzled....heck I saw it in Purdy's face after the first pick!!!!
So to the Niners, hahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
McDaniel may have been under Kyle but I personally think overall, he's a better coach and WILL BE better prepared!
You took my words Ms M!!!!! I agree I saw the very same thing in Purdy!!!!!!!Quote:

I think McDaniel is probably very happy the Ravens did that the week before we play. We'll play them on a short week and have a chance to dissect what they did to the Niners last night in order to [hopefully] counter it.Quote:

And the Steelers play Seattle, with Mason Rudolph probably going to start.
