ProfD Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 The Packers owe their 3-0 record to their defense. How about that? Yep. At one time, the Packers' DC (Mike Pettine) was HC of the Cleveland Browns. Pettine is doing a great job there. I'm hoping the Skins will take note and realize Gruden belongs on his brother's staff.

Geoff Grace Posted October 4, 2019 Author Share Posted October 4, 2019 Dodgers in the playoffs and the Rams on Thursday Night Football at the same time = a lot of stimulation for LA fans. At least I had a Dodgers victory to soothe me after the Rams tough loss. Going 0-2 after a 3-0 start is an unfortunate turn of events for our NFC team. That said, I know we've got it better than DC fans. My condolences.

MikeT156 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 I understand the reason for "Roughing the Passer" penalties. But Referees making that call against Defense when it was for pushing a QB out of bounds and when a Defensive player tackled a QB below the waist and above his knees does NOT qualify for roughing the Passer. There were two bad calls against my Steelers Sunday, Our BU QB took a hit and was knocked out of the game, and the 3rd string QB had to finish the game. Wonderful. Its bad enough to try to win against the Ravens as it is this season, the only thing I learned is the way the Ref's were betting. Mike T.

ProfD Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 I understand the reason for "Roughing the Passer" penalties. Yep. Some of those calls are totally unnecessary. The QB is atill a football player. He's not a figurine. In other news, the Jay Gruden era is over in Washington. I'm sure he'll land on his feet. I'm more curious about who Snyder and Allen will find in a head coach capable of putting up with their sh8tshow and having any chance of building a winning football team. If the Skins are not going to promote a young coach from within the organization, I hope Mike McCarthy is in their sights. Of course, Allen would probably have to quit. ð¤£ð Quote PD "The greatest thing you'll ever learn, is just to love and be loved in return."--E.

Yeah, a lot of referee calls this season are overzealous, even given the new rules. I wonder whether it's simple human error or whether calls for a less brutal game have swayed officiating even further than the new rules require. My condolences on the Steelers' quarterback situation, Mike, especially given the loss of all of the Killer Bs. I hope Pittsburgh bounces back quickly.

Geoff Grace Posted October 8, 2019 Author Share Posted October 8, 2019 By the way, has anyone else noticed that a 3-2 record puts you in last place in the NFC North? Pretty impressive!

antimatter Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 I hadn't gotten an opportunity to see the 49ers recently until last nights game. They looked very good. Quite a beat down of Mayfield and the Browns. I kind of enjoyed that- they need a little humbling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeT156 Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Thanks guys for the positive Posts and condolences about my Steelers. I was never a fan of Big Ben's personal behavior, and I didn't like the way he threw players under the bus on his radio show each week. Mike Tomlin finally put a stop to his radio show. Ben wasn't throwing the ball well and the injury he suffered had to be something that had to be bothering him before it gave out, That said, I think we can win with Rudolph at QB. Too bad he got his bell rung and had to leave the game on Sunday. I can't blame the Raven's player for a dirty hit, it was incidental contact, not intentional. We have to be prepared to take some loses this season, it was expected, At least our Defense has improved, getting some turn-overs for a change, that area was lacking big time. I get really tired of Steelers fans ripping on Mike Tomlin. He's an excellent coach and the Front Office has no plans to show him the door. Steelers fans are too quick to point the finger in the wrong place, it gets old. I say Mike Tomlin is a better coach than was Bill Cowher. That opinion is not very popular in some corners.

MikeT156 Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 I doubt that the Steelers will fire Mike Tomlin. The front office is aware of the internal problems caused by "some" of the players. Apparently they are getting a handle on it. We have to expect a losing record for a few seasons. The crap that was going on last year had to stop. I'd rather have a team that is on the same page, even if we lose. Mike T.

The Steelers are loyal having only had three (3) coaches under the Rooney family. Tomlin isn't going anywhere.

ProfD Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Looks like the KC train may have been derailed for several weeks. Playing the MVP QB with a bad ankle was questionable.

Geoff Grace Posted December 13, 2019 Author Share Posted December 13, 2019 NFL oddities: ⢠Lamar Jackson signed autographs from Jets players on the field after his team beat theirs last night. ⢠A team with a losing record (NFC East) could make the playoffs. ⢠A team that finished with a 4-12 record last year is dominating the NFC. ⢠The Patriots offense is struggling.
