Thanks, but already arm/hand injury to RB Najee Harris & possibly WR Diontae Johnson. Typical Steelers/Ravens ball.Quote:

Trust me when I say that we'd take a fourth round pick for him from any other team rather than trade him for a first rounder to New Orleans.Quote:

I'm inclined to agree. Lots of folks don't realize the financial and roster hole Julio put us in when he weaseled his way to Nashville.
It's NEVER over until it's over!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!
Congrats Steelers;)
OMG, OMG, OMG, OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Ms M;)
And there's this:

Steelers' T.J. Watt matches Michael Strahan's NFL single-season sack record
Watt's historic takedown likely wrapped up Defensive Player of the Year honors
https://sportshub.cbsistatic.com/i/r...lers-getty.jpg
By Bryan DeArdo
T.J. Watt has joined Michael Strahan in the NFL record books. The Steelers' All-Pro pass rusher has tied Strahan's 20-year-old record for sacks in a single season. Watt, who entered Sunday with 21.5 sacks, tied Strahan's record after sacking Tyler Huntley with under 30 seconds left in the first half of Pittsburgh's Week 18 showdown in Baltimore.
Watt matched Strahan's record despite missing two games earlier this season while dealing with groin and rib injuries. Watt, who led the NFL with 15 sacks in 2020, matched Reggie White's NFL record earlier this season after recording his fourth consecutive season with at least 13 sacks. In last week's win over the Browns, Watt joined White and older brother J.J. Watt as the only players to have at least 70 sacks in their first five seasons.
Watt also broke former teammate James Harrison's franchise single-season record this season. Watt may join Harrison as a Defensive Player of the Year recipient this season after finishing second in the voting to Aaron Donald last season.
"Early on in my career, I would look at those individual awards and would set individual statistical goals," Watt said during a recent conversation with Bryant McFadden on CBS Sports' "All Things Covered" podcast. "The longer I've been in, the more I realize that you don't need to add any more pressure to yourself. … Be healthy and put in absolutely everything you have into preparing for games and everything will take of itself.
"Winning means everything, especially late in the season. We're trying to make a playoff push, and the best way I can help this team win games is by making plays, and that's what I need to continue to do if we want to get to where we want to be."
Maybe two Watt brothers are going into the hall of fame, Moe. Meanwhile, TJ Watt had more sacks than the entire Atlanta Falcons defense. This might be an area to focus on in the offseason.
Maybe, Jerry. Watt just wants to win. However, I'm sure going into the record books won't hurt. The Steelers squeaked in. Big Ben showed a bit of what's left in his tank. And he's gonna need it.....and more. Everyone saw what the Chiefs did to the Steelers a few weeks ago. The deck is stacked against them.
And they almost didn't make the playoffs. That game between the Raiders/Chargers had every Steeler squirming in their seats I'm sure.
It's anyone's guess whether they will name TJ Watt DPOY. There's a few others in the mix.
Cleaning day in the NFL. Dolphins, Bears, Vikings, [[Broncos earlier) fired their head coaches. Bears & Vikings also fired their GM's.
Jerry, Firing Brian Flores makes no sense at all.
I concur. I was so mad when I heard about it. Right now, they have me so ticked off, I'm not even interested in the coaching search. Could not care less because it's the most Miami thing imaginable. First back-to-back winning seasons in 20 years and you fire the coach because of personality conflicts? Really?! If the definition of insanity is doing what you've done before while expecting different results, role out the straight jacket in South Beach. Flo will land on his feet somewhere [probably as DC in New England again] but I expect the Fins to take a giant step back next season.
And one state to the north, Falcons fans are dejected and complaining about the lack of talent on the team. I've been asking what they expected after Quintorris Jones forced his way out of town [after the draft, BTW] and Calvin Ridley decided things in Atlanta were a little bit too stressful [after the season, keeping the team from replacing him]? You can't lose WR1 and WR1[a] and still have a good offense. Even with Julio's inability to play a full season, we would have made the playoffs with him, Ridley, and Pitts. Trash offensive line and all, that offense would have been dynamically intense. Instead, we had Russell Gage [a decent WR3] playing WR1 and Olamide Zacchareus [a decent slot receiver, better suited to a limited role] playing opposite him. The offense was bad? Well, yeah, it was bad. But it wasn't because anybody didn't plan well.
BTW: I'll bet you were sweating bullets yesterday. LOL. First, Pittsburgh goes to OT on the road for a huge win against their rival Crows and then the Raiders and Chargers play the game of the year in the final contest of the season, putting the Steelers in the playoffs thanks to a kick at 00:02 of overtime. Wow. Just... wow. Had he missed that field goal, the Chargers and Raiders would both have made it instead of the Steelers. What a crazy season.
Addendum [to the above]: Turns out, Coach Flo was apparently hellbent on getting DeShaun Watson from Houston and Watson wanted to come to Miami to play for him. There was a power struggle between the coach and the GM, who wants to keep Tua and the owner sided with the GM. I'm okay with that for a couple of reasons. First, Tua had a low key good season. The last couple of games were steps back, but at one point, he led the league in completion percentage. He's young, but he's not bad. Second, until Watson's situation is resolved, I don't want his taint anywhere near my team. It's shameful that so many teams are willing to look past the allegations. There's likely going to be a bidding war for his services and I hope neither of my teams participates.
I never liked soap operas.
The two men I hope go to good organizations are Flores & Byron Leftwich. They BOTH derserve their time. Crazy Steelers fans hope Flores comes to us as our new OC [[most can't stand Matt Canada, & they didn't like Randy Fichter either...go figure). It's my guess that Leftwich will possibly go to Jacksonville.
I am not a fan of players who come with "baggage." Watson sure has that. Ray Lewis had it, so does AB & even Big Ben.
I was thinking that those 2 teams [[LV & LAC) were playing from a script. Al Davis wouldn't have liked that!
Flo is a great defensive coach. Miami's season turned around once he took over defensive playcalling, so he won't be an OC. And trust me, he and Tomlin would not be a good pairing. Flo is a control freak and I can imagine him and Tomlin fighting each other on the sideline. A lot of folks think he's going to be hired as a HC in this current cycle, with Denver being the most likely destination. If so, don't be surprised if Watson only lifts his trade restriction to allow a trade to Denver.
Nothing would surprise me with "musical football chairs."
But yes, you're right; those Steelers fans who want him as an OC had no real idea of Coach Flores's strengths [[DC). But, if we could dump our DC [[Keith Butler).....ah but yes, no control freak need apply.:cool:
Miami is now Crazy Town. Rumors are swirling around sharks in chummed water. Reporters are tweeting and writing columns that have either been leaked in the last 24 hours or sat on since the beginning of the season. Now, there's a narrative that Flo was so anti-Tua, he tried to sabotage him. This is from a reporter for the South Florida Sun-Sentinel [note: It should say that at halftime in the Tennessee game, Flo cussed Tua out, not the other way around]:

Oh brother.........
Now add Joe Judge to the fired list...boy, what took so long?
Flores will be the Giants' coach. Book it.Quote:

He may not go to New York, but they're going to make him an offer he can't refuse. Especially if he can lure DeShaun Watson to the Big Apple.
Interesting thought, Jerry. And, the Steelers are 12.5 pt. underdogs. Ben says something like we know they're the better team so let's just go & have fun. I think the Steelers are the underdogs that have the highest point spread ever.
Ya'll know that green bay is gonna take it all!! Congrats on the steelers getting in moe, as for my misery, we need a qb badly[i like that kid in b-more]oh well i always have them...gizzards!!!
You may be right, Jai. There are rumors that Aaron Rodgers is telling folks he's planning on boycotting the Super Bowl if the Packers make it. He wants to throw a negative light on the league's COVID protocol. I don't wish any player to be injured, but if somebody ripped his leg off on the field and beat his *** with it, I won't be sad. And they blackballed Collin Kaepernick for WHAT again?
Speaking of which, now that Houston fired David Culley, the 32-team NFL has a total of one Black head coach, and that's Mike Tomlin. Think about that when you read the anti-racism messages they paint in the end zone.
Right you are, Jerry!!!!!!! I think it's disgusting!!! There are so many deserving black candidates!! Hypocrites!!
Here we go...the start of wild card football. Any thoughts?
How 'bout them Bills?????????
And congratulations to the Bengals. But they need to do better in pressuring the QB & against the run.
Good Luck today, Ms M.....:cool:
Thanks Moe, It's going to be a VERY interesting afternoon!
Yes it is!!! Philly showed up too late to the game. And is Brady still in the game?
Excellent throw by Dak. Go Boyz!
That one pass for the TD to Cooper was great!!
Well that sucked !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Jimmy G.
LOL
Touchdown!
Jimmy G doesn't appear to be as mobile as Prescott.
Good googly moogly, replay has played a huge role in these last couple of weeks.
Ohhhhhhh Ms M, I'm so sorry!:[[
Sorry, ms_m. But your offensive coordinator needs to be fired. That was one of the worst calls in that situation that I can imagine.
And as quiet as it's kept he can't throw accurately or consistently) passed 20/25 yards. He has a good supporting cast.Quote:
