If TJ Watt doesnt win DPOY the league is a joke. Easily the best defensive player and perhaps overall player in the NFL

 

[Al Smith]

This win (or more appropriately , Raven loss) doesn’t matter because after a tough game, they have to go on the road for a Thurs night game….there are stark discrepancies between home teams and road teams on Thursday night and the home teams have a great advantage on a short week

You are really Bob Grove, aren't you.

 

[CallArnoldSlick]

There wasn't any "analytics" in Harbaugh's decision, dude thinks he sounds smart but he's simply a MORAN.

They’ll go with the attempted murderer

 

[pistolpete11]

The Ravens aren't as good as their record, so while it always feels good to beat the Ravens and keeps Ben playing some meaningful games in his final year, I can't say that I think this is some turning point. Maybe I will look back on it like that, but my confidence they will make the playoffs let alone win a playoff game is still pretty low.

I dont know. Eveytime I watch a Browns game they talk about how much of a great guy Miles Garrett is

 

[ziggyjoe212]

If Watt stays healthy (big if) he has a legit shot at DPOY.

Diggs has a chance too. He's simulatenously the best and worst CB in the league. He has the most INT's in years, but he also has given up the most catches and yards than any other DB. I wouldn't give it to him for this reason.
And the media likes Garrett for some reason.

But don’t you just love the way he announces his name when Cleveland plays national games? He’s so goofy, he’s changed. Plays dress up on Halloween.

or something like that.

 

[LOGiK]

No way the Steelers pull out a victory in overtime.
But then again, Lamar might have blown it.
I think Ravens win in OT though.

 

[Mr Jiggyfly]

Gotta give Tomlin credit, dude has Jackson's number.

Basically what I feared happened yesterday - I blame Andy for this mess now.

Never mess with the voodoo when it's working.

This really is purgatory...

Yinzer nation is all about their instant gratification and gotta get 'dem Ravens.

Zero awareness of the long term consequences each hollow victory brings.

Only real positive is the league seems to be figuring out Jackson - he has been garbage last 5-6 games.

Think he's up to 10-11 INT in that time.

He's taking that Mike Vick path it would seem.

Steelers didn’t win that game, the Ravens lost it…big difference…Harbaugh just threw the game away lol

it’s not like the Steelers were all of the sudden going to fire MT if they had lost that game lol

I think he is talking more about draft position. TOMLIN will never be fired for many reasons. He will have to walk away.

 

[Night Shift]

Tomlin is so laughable in his PC's, it's all BS.

“They aggressively play analytics. And so from that standpoint, they're predictable,” This is the quote regarding the Ravens deciding to go for two.

There wasn't any "analytics" used in Harbaugh's decision, dude thinks he sounds smart but he's simply a MORAN.

No no it's this Moran

Come draft time, the score says they won. Draft position doesn’t care about Harbaugh’s stones.

i don’t think it’s going to have much impact on our draft position either unless we start winning more games and get into the playoffs…we’re still going to be 10-16 draft position unless we get into the POs…if they want a QB, move up in the f**king draft, as they could have done and rarely do any year lol

 

[Andy99]

won’t have much impact unless they continue to win…they’ll lose to Minn

Minny just lost to the f***ing Lions, why are the Steelers losing to them exactly?

 

[Andy99]

because we laid it all out there in a huge division game against a physical opponent Sunday evening and everyone has to turn it around and do it again on Thursday…road teams have a huge disadvantage in Thursday night games, especially on D

I guess, but Vikes are 2-4 in their last 6.

I don’t have a really strong feeling on this one like I did with the Ravens, but I definitely don’t see anything that suggests the Vikes will roll this one up like a J.

i don’t think the final score will be like the Steelers-Bengals game, but I do think Minn will pull it out…they’ve lost too many in the last minute of games…that bad luck can’t hold out forever

 

[OnMyOwn]

The team has too much talent to be under .500. I also don’t think a rebuild is in order. We just need a QB and some help on D.

this off season will be very telling.

And some offensive line help. But I agree, they do not need a rebuild. A few choice picks and FA pickups and the team could easily win the division and compete for a SB.

Just in general, they have the highest amount of cap money in the league available this offseason. They need to spend some cash in the free agent market.

I don't think they have the most. Seems like they're about middle of the pack TBH.

Also, they have to replace a #1CB, and have future DL issues rapidly creeping up. They're really only set at offensive skill positions (other than QB). I'm not sold on the OL either. Point being, they have tons of '22 issues, and a lot more in the very near future.

We will have major needs at CB, ILB, DL, OL, QB. I can see the 1st round pick being used for any of these positions.

My guess is they sign several starter caliber UFA's and draft the BPA among the positions listed above.

We are currently sitting 18th in draft order. I still have no idea how we won a game outside of Buffalo.
