Until they find a QB and coach this is likely to be the new normal. I wasn’t born until 1970, and the first football game I ever sat down and watched was Super Bowl 13, so you can imagine how strange it is seeing the Steelers actually become a bad team for the first time in my life.

New?

Is this a TD or not?

No. He has to get two feet on ground and either go to ground with control or make a "football move" which in this case would have been getting a third step. The ball was loose before that third step happened.

My friend, you should have been around for the post Buddy Parker era. Parker traded future draft pick for (ahem) experienced veterans. (Read mortgaged the future). When he quit, he left behind and aging team on their last legs and no draft pick to replace them.

The 80's Steelers had thier share of suckage.

agree With exception of the strike year, and considering the dynasty players aged at a rate that exceeded a reasonable expectation to replace them with draft picks, a recession was expected. What is happening now is a bad system on both sides of the ball, and a lot of mediocre players.

Do you still have your Mark Malone jersey?

Well now wait a minute Mr. High Expectations in 2025. Some of these guys on the roster today were great in 2017.

Chuck Noll got Malone to an AFC championship game. Now there was a coach!

was that the game that Malone hurt himself riding a mechanical bull the night before, or was that just a yinzer room from elementary school rumor?

There have been so many times this has come up. "He had possession and two feet down!". But no. He didn't maintain possession while going to the ground.
It sucks sometimes but it's the rule.
I remember a Cowboys playoff game a few years ago that this rule was argued for weeks after a call cost Dallas a game. But by the rule Dallas lost.

Like a lot of stupid rules, this one only exists because they’re too arrogant to admit previous rule changes to increase scoring actually disadvantaged the defense too much. You know what they say. If it ain’t broke, you’re probably not on the NFL Rules Committee.

The Colts are bringing in Philip Rivers to bail them out. I wonder what Big Ben is doing these days...

Rivers is a grandfather. His oldest child is 23, the same age as Colts QBs Riley Leonard and Anthony Richardson.

I don't have an inkling what a "football move" is. A third foot down? If that's what it means, then why does it have a goofy name?

The Colts are in Seattle this weekend. The Seattle offense is nowhere near as ferocious as the Seattle defense. I hope he doesn't get broken in half. I wouldn't have wanted to face them even as an indestructible and immortal 44 year old young man. Rivers hasn't played for how long? Five years? I hope they don't expect him to be the starter.

Desperate times call for Desperate actions.

I live just down the road from Indy... this really has people bummed, especially after their great start.

Turn upfield and take a step. Jive move to make defender miss. Things like that.
