That’s fine. But the biggest personnel problem with this team is OL. The offense isn’t scoring and a big part of that is an OL that can neither run nor pass block well or with any kind of consistency. The defense would benefit a lot from fewer three and outs.

And they will draft a c the o line is fine on tape KP runs into sacks and has left 10-14 points a game on the field this season

So how bout we trade a first for Patrick Surtain II
It will cost more than a single 1st since 20other teams would give up a 1st for him

Devin Bush's first 6 games as a Steeler were really good
 
If they could get Surtain for a first, I’d do that and not even think twice about it. Even if Porter can play as well as he has in a larger role, CB is still a massive need for this team now and in the future.

If he gets traded though, he’d probably go for multiple firsts. He’s one of the best young corners in the league.
 
Pardon me drawing from my 2021 playbook, but…

It’s a shame it’s gotten to this and Canada’s family has to bear the brunt of it.

Tomlin f***ed this up hard and I’m tired of him escaping blame with what a train wreck this org has become the last decade.

Firing Canada was an easy decision and Tomlin just had to be the smartest guy in the room again.

You don’t bring back an OC that’s put up b2b seasons of historical ineptitude- this shit shouldn’t be that difficult, but yet here we are.

Realistically to my fellow Buckeye fans watching this game on peacock today...

How long will we be willing to give these places money to watch a single game with almost no ability to flip channels back/forth? Last night was NHL and was super annoying. Today is OSU.

I'm not a fan of this at all. @End of Line

Canada is Tomlin on steroids.

They are not wrong. No need to course correct. You all are idiots, not them.

The players just need to execute the plan and you all will be in awe of their brilliance.

Any day now. You have years invested in this, don't you want to see the payoff?

The production quality for Peacock is f***ing horrendous. It’s almost making the game unwatchable right now.

We are just in a time in the world where they are charging for absolutely everything. I just read an article that BMW is going to start loading all of their cars up with every option and you have to pay monthly for the options. I can see it now...January in Pittsburgh and a seat heater won't turn on because you forgot to pay the bill.

I have cable to watch Pens games because I refuses to play these games with streaming services and subscriptions. I tried and it was just too much of a pain for me and the quality absolutely blows.
 
Veilleux had a phenomenal game. His release is awesome. I really hope he can repeat this performance.

Yeah especially with how bad the conditions were, I was pretty impressed. It just makes it even more frustrating that they stuck with Jurkovec as long as they did.

My buddy and I actually watched this one in Oakland and we both said that. His stats are actually misleading - 12/26 for 200 and 2 TDs. He went 0/5 his first 5 throws, so he actually was 17/26 through the rest of the game.

You have to question the evaluation process for Narduzzi because Jurkovec and Veilleux aren't even remotely close in terms of basically anything. Veilleux processes faster, his release is faster, and I think he has brass balls. The dude will stand in there and take a helmet to the chin and still make a throw. I am really excited to watch him in a game without it raining the entire time.

They also need to run Hammond more. He should be getting 20 carries a game.

Yeah I have no clue why Hammond isn’t getting the bulk of the carries. He’s easily their best RB. I would love to see them get Bartholomew more targets also — I think he easily has the talent to play on Sundays.

I was pretty checked out of the season with Jurkovec starting but with Veilleux taking over they’ve pulled me back in.

Btw how much has Oakland changed? Feels like every place we used to go besides Hems isn’t even there anymore and I didn’t even graduate all that long ago.
 
Back to the real teams in college - it’s Ohio St week. Mark my words - this is the year Penn St beats them.

Same. Veilleux going bonkers on his 2nd TD had me jacked up. What a shot to the arm. When we sat down at the bar us and the bartender were commiserating and we were all really shocked at how well they played.

Oakland has changed a lot. I'm not a huge fan honestly haha. Is there even a legit sports bar in Oakland? We couldn't find one. We went to Union Grill, which I just generally don't like.

Who gives a f***

Penn State loses by 21

I am glad the 3rd string Qb at Penn State was able to transfer down to get z real shot at playing time
 
Chuck Noll once said that when you get to the end zone and score a touchdown act as if you have been there before and know that you will be there many times in the future.

I get that Pitt and Penn State had an unbelievable rivalry at one time. But it has been a couple of generations since they were in the same ballpark of accomplishment in football.

And I mean this respectfully to both programs and am not saying anything that diehard fans of both don't know.

I don't get the need to punch down.

Let the Pitt people enjoy a great moment.
