What's the problem? Still not under 500. At this point only need to go 500 in the last 10 games and it's mission accomplished for 2025-26.Tell me again how the Steelkers are a lock for the AFC North.
The highest paid Keystone Cop defense was on full display last night.
Vrabel’s no surprise but his 2nd yr QB Drake Maye sure has been so far. I wouldn’t call the Browns defense easy, but Maye was able to rack up 30+ points in spite of 6 sacks.
I would have thought it means the Pats o-line is awful, but from what I could see that guy’s just a monster!
I think it means that the Browns' offense is anemic at best. They hold a -58 points differential this season. While that's not the league's worst, it's up there.
They were fielding a defense that was all practice squad players for other teams by the end of the year. Or so it seemed. It was insane how many bodies they went through.
It means Miles Garrett is awesome and the Browns really suck. That's what it means.
I have no problem with Rodgers. He has shown he can still play. His body language last night shows he's fed up with his offensive line giving him 1.5 seconds to get rid of the ball, his receivers unable to get open and dropping catchable balls, the run game not helping him out and the defense crapping the bed. Of course, he should have know what he was getting into when he singed the contract.
It most certainly is Rodgers since we know it's not any fault of Tomlin. He always has his players prepared and ready to play especially on national TV.
Thanks Mike! It was a tale of 2 halves. Maybe they'll put it together one of these games. I still think the Lions have the edge in our division
Well, look who TJ's coach is. He has to win 51% of pass rushes. No problem!
The thing with TJ is he lines up in the same spot and does the same thing every play. Other teams have figured out how to handle him. He's not the 100% beast he was, but it's not lack of effort. Heaven forbid they play him in a different spot on some plays to at least give the other team something to deal with.
Hey, don't go busting my wise-ass comments with logic and facts. Although the logic and facts explain why he's not mopping the floor with offensive linemen like he once was.
Yeah, a big contract doesn't necessarily lead to less effort or worse results. Micah Parsons has 6.5 sacks in 7 games--on pace for roughly 16 sacks this season. Just as important, Rashan Gary, the DE on the opposite side for the Pack, has 7.5 sacks--on pace for 18. Now Rashan Gary was already a good player, but he's never had more than 9.5 sacks in a season before playing opposiite Parsons.
TJ's 2021-2025 contract was 112 million so he's already been paid. If you watch much of Steelers games you see a guy who is angry and frustrated that he and the rest of the defense aren't getting the job done.
