Tampa players were mugging to the max on screen a minute latter looked like homeless puppies. The way CJ led them down the field was a thing of beauty. peace_5

Anyone liking the Jets would probably be better served to grab them now, from the looks of it the hook will not be there later. peace_5

Best QB is Burrow, until Lamar proves otherwise, if ever.

The Steelers surely crash to earth out of that division, no?

The circles under Mike Tomlin’s eyes always make me hesitant when I think about counting him out . I don’t know if I’m right or not but it always makes me think that he’s up all hours of the night scheming and strategizing plays in his office , and sleeping there under his desk like George Costanza . But actually doing work though . He has those eyes because of either that or he likes to hit the strip club till real late and because cocaine is a helluva drug . Can’t wait to see what he does with Pickens . He’s been through this already with Antonio Brown . Just this time he’s dealing with a guy with a quarter of the talent .

BACK PATTING and KISSING threads are like passing HAM SANDWICHES around over and over-wall

They may flatten out but as Spock alluded i kinda doubt that they just crash & burn. As for who is better Burrow or Lamar i cant say, but i'll take Lamar as my starter. peace_5

CJ Stroud was unbelievable.  Honorable mention to Josh Dobbs.  How did he do that?

You have to admit 18 - 1 vs NFC is impressive. The loss was last year when defense gave up 2 td's in the 4th, it happens. peace_5

Just saying,  Lamar come playoff time. He has to prove it. And he has the supporting cast like no other this year.

The Ravens are #1 in dvoa, and by a country mile. 49%, KC #2 at 29.5%.

So no excuses this year peace_5

Steelers = 22nd team since 2000 to have negative point differential in each of their first 8 games...and the 1st to have a winning record at that time.

I wouldn't have expected Jax to be favored vs. SF. Line seems right. It's a winnable game for both teams and I think you'll see a top effort from both sides. One of those games where I'd rely more on advanced metrics and stats to determine the right side as opposed to any intangible reasons.

@undermysac

He got paid......if he stays healthy and his supporting cast...GFL...

Mitchell rookie from ECU  RB is a gifted little guy....

RT  was out Sunday....Mekari didnt miss a beat replacing him...

Honestly the 2 losses they had were games they never should have lost...

I won't have $ on any of them. 8-1 last 2 weeks. Money won = zero fucking dollars.
SERIOUS question, did you put as much research time & energy etc etc on those plays as you usually do. an_popcorn

 No, maybe a 1/4 of the research.

That's all we need to know, Thanks. Surely there will be a couple good fade spots of the Steelers coming up. Ala the 2022 Vikings

So technically it could have been a 17-0 season. And I assume they romp the playoffs, and win a SB?

I'm leaning fading them against the Pack BUT the O 37' has caught my eyes.

It just kills me that I had quite a few times thought about picking him up in the fantasy waiver wire, but passed. And now he's scoring 50 points on some other manager's bench.
