my enthusiasm for the steelers has waned since seeing them get stomped by the chargers at so fi stadium, so much money for beer and tickets :(
caught the first half of the bears game on the steelers radio network app before it went down, had the feeling that they'd win if they could score 35

The Steelers are like a box of chocolates. The cheap box, where half the pieces are inedible.
 
The Rams look seriously good on both sides of the ball. Stafford is on fire this season. 30 TD’s vs 2 Int’s? Really? And they have allowed the fewest points in the league at this point.
The one weakness Stafford has had, consistently throughout his career, has been a tendency to throw too many interceptions. Even when he won the Super Bowl, it took a spectacular defense to overcome that. If he’s got that under control, he’s as good as any QB in the league.

Same. As a lifelong Dolphins fan the Patriots are a major pain!
Miami still has the lead in the rivalry all-time, though! 64-56. Hard to believe, but the Dolphins utterly dominated them in the 70s and 80s. Miami has also pulled off some upsets at home over the past 25 years to keep the record from getting too lopsided.

How about that Sam Darnold? Four picks last week which he owned up to and said he'd improve. Today? Zero picks.

Seattle seems to have gotten pretty good at moving on from quarterbacks just when they are about to fall off of a cliff. Wilson has been consistently mediocre since they sent him to Denver. Geno Smith has been having an awful year. Darnold had one spectacularly bad game. It was a big game, though. So, can he win big games or will they ship him off? TBD.
 
Tomlin makes the call to bench (he did not show up on the injury report) one of his splash free agent signings in the off-season for today's game and instead played a guy elevated from the practice squad who had spinal fusion surgery last year. That's lovely.
I'm fairly certain Matt Canada can out coach this Smith fella Tomlin hired from the unemployment office as offensive coordinator. I'm also certain I can out coach Tomlin at this point if I can get a few of y'all to join my staff. :)
Jackson and Burrow go down for multiple games, practically handing Tomlin the AFC North and all he does is go 2-5 in the last seven games. Along the way Rodgers calls out the team for being unprofessional, unprepared, and players skipping film meetings. As Mike Leach once said: "You're either coaching it or allowing it to happen".
Tomlin's ship sailed years ago, years.

I will own up to my incorrect comment, Rodgers did in fact return to take snaps for the Steelers.

lol. In my day, this goes beyond a “drubbing” and into the realm of an “ass handing”. Whole lotta red on those stats.
