Yes- I miss the days of being up by 35... and still being worried with high blood pressure at the end of the game... but damn it, it was a LOT more fun!
If the Steelers stop making players play other positions than the one they're best at, you're gonna get shitty transitions and unhappy players. Put Broderick Jones at LT and leave him there. Troy Fautanu is a good player, but he's playing out of position, too. There's no need for it. During the draft there were RTs available at the Steelers draft spot. Yes, flexibility is a good thing......if possible. If not, draft a RT to play RT. It ain't rocket science.
Joey - love the title of the show but the sad truth is that this team, especially on offensive, is a giant sh*t show. I will not watch any preseason games, but on paper it is a JOKE.
I think Kenny didn't want the Steelers to sign Mason, so they left him walk, also they got rid of DJ because he didn't like KP as QB, but he didn't realize that they would go get Russell Wilson, then he demanded a trade. So by drama Kenny.

They need the 1998 Royal Rumble where Cactus Jack came in first, got eliminated. Mankind entered, got eliminated then Dude Love came in. The Pens need something like that and it can't be up to poor Sid to keep carrying the team on his back.
Put the biscuit in the basket! It's my favorite line of this season. Instead, the players watch the Wiggles before the games and sing along with Hot potato, hot potato, cold spaghetti, cold spaghetti and follow that concept.
In defense of big number contracts. Those numbers for QBs contracts are big for average folks, but the agents and players know how much bank the owners get. There are now more than than three streaming companies that are need to watch the games.
24 games with my old eyes told me Pickett, isn't it. Love has an arm that can allow him to throw off his back foot. Pickett doesn't have that arm and needs a slow windup and perfect footing to throw the ball.
I read that D Rooney restructured the team business model for more cash to get the team competitive. Art has to get more cash to be in the 2024 scene or continue to get ass slapped in the 1990s world.
You keep Mason give him an opportunity to be your QB one I mean a real competition and hopefully he will play throughout the playoffs and I think it would be magical if he at least took you to the Super Bowl and even super magical if he could be the quarterback of a winning Pittsburgh Steelers team in the Super Bowl. Wouldn’t that be awesome?
I just hope they continue to not be a walking punt on Offense. Make the goal over 23+ ppg before the matchup against Baltimore. Make the game easier for Kenny and Kenny to show he can make those big time throws on 'money' downs. #HereWeGo
It’s in no way “the Browns Super Bowl” when they beat the worst (and luckiest) team in the division. This game was all about keeping up with the Ravens, redemption for giving you the win in week 2 (even though your team was clearly reluctant to just take it), and proving they could do it with a backup rookie 5th round QB, 2 backup Tackles (btw how many sacks did they give up Sunday? Watt alone must’ve gotten at least 3 or 4 right?), backup RBs, etc. But go ahead and flatter yourselves. You’re certainly the best in the league in that category. The fact that Tomlin thought our choice of CBs had everything to do w/ Pickens & Johnson & nothing to do with Ja’Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, Tyler Boyd, Zay Flowers, & Rashod Bateman is laughable. And no one is scared of your little towel “curse”. The Browns have been cursed for decades and still managed to not only beat Pittsburgh, but push your OC out with 7 games left in the regular season. And that’s not self-flattery, as I’m sure you’d agree Cleveland was the obvious catalyst for breaking your streak. I know you’ve been begging for him to be fired for years but idk what you’re gonna do now that you can’t blame Canada for all your problems. Good luck to Kenny Pickett.
