To heck with Rogers. The Seahawks failed this evening. Oh well. They are a draft or two from contention, if they draft well.

I was on a plane, but sat next to a woman who could stream it on her phone. That was pretty amazing.

You OK, man?
No.
I am so sick of Tomlin and this crap show he drags out on display every week. It's crap, pure crap.
The clever one liners, the steely eyed stares into the sky on the sideline, it's all a front to hide that he doesn't have a clue what he's doing.
Clock management? Zero skills.
He runs the defense, that's crap. He now runs the offense, that's crap too. Special teams? Crap too outside Boswell.
He's a great public speaker and apparently a loyal man, but he sucks as an NFL head coach. Sucks.

I can ususally find an upside in every game, but today there is nothing. At least once a season, the Steelers have a bottom feeder opponent, so they take the week off and come in totally unprepared and unmotivated and lose, so this was not completely unexpected. Usually these games are on the road, so being this bad against a team like this at home is a new low.
Then there were the endless stupid penalties that killed an already struggling offense or kept the defense on the field far too long. Then there was our center who forgets how to snap the ball. Then there's DJ celebrating his TD when we have already lost the game. Then what really made my head hurt was when TJ Watt gets dinged up and Tomlin sends him back out with the game long decided. Yeah, let's risk a worse injury to our most valuable asset for no possible gain.
After all these years Tomlin still can't have this team ready to play every Sunday and has no clue how to manage a game. No one can blame this one on Matt Canada.
So much for the Chiefs allegedly getting all the big calls at the end of games. Sheesh.

The Browns may as well put Miles Garrett in at QB these days. They used up everyone else including the water boy.
I haven’t seen the game but do have a client who is a major Steelers fan and she said today was horrendous
Wow, couldn't believe the Cardinals actually looked like a real NFL team yesterday. First road win in a long time. Especially considering how downright awful they were against the Rams last week.
The combination of Kyler Murray and TE Trey McBride looked unstoppable. Smoke and mirrors, or legitimate future hope of the team? We'll see.

The 9ers took a quarter to get going, but the last three quarters of that game with Philly were a thing of beauty. It went well beyond a drubbing and into the realm of a straight up arse-handing. Wow. I had forgotten how potent Deebo and C-Mac can be when on the field together.
Certainly can't disagree with that. Mahomes sure was diplomatic about it in his post game comments saying he understands at the end of the game to let guys play. Might have been a make-up for the flag where GB hit Mahomes before he went out of bounds. Anyway, what seemed like a lost season a few weeks ago now has the feel of a team and a QB growing in confidence while still missing a handful of starters, taking down two 8-3 teams in consecutive weeks. I wonder if when Travis got back to Taylor in their hotel room, and he was all depressed and moping around, she said to him "just Shake it Off"?
I've avoided comment because every year when I say anything good my Dolphins then start down the tubes. But I'll risk it. 5 games left, 4 at home, 3 against .500 or under opponents, 3 games in front in AFC East. Best looking season in years!
I think there were plenty of bad/questionable calls to go around, especially in Q4. On the plus side I'm thinking the officials in that crew will be free to make post season plans without having to worry about the threat of working the Super Bowl interfering.
Because, of course, you're just as up in arms about the pass interference called on the arm brush, or MVS having forward progress stopped going backwards and stepping out and the clock stopping, and definitely mad about the personal foul called for tackling the runner inbounds who was not giving himself up... and not just the the missed PI call that would have benefitted the Chiefs...
I may regret this, but with Jake Browning at QB, I am a Bengal fan. He was so great at UW, it feels good to see him go 32/37 for 354 yards tonight with a rushing TD as well while helping lead his team to a win. I'm jealous that Jake Browning as a backup is better than Kenny Pickett ever will be.
It's exciting to watch a coach and a team with a plan that plays aggressively from whistle to whistle. I'm jealous for that as well. The clock management, wow. The idea to call timeouts while on defense to save the clock to try and score, what a novel idea.

I missed the game because I had to get up for an early start today, but was pleasantly shocked to read the story on it this morning. I figured the Bengals were dead in the water, but happy to see I was wrong.
