For the year? How could we give up all that production?

Gardner Menshew needs to be wearing a Steelers uniform next year.

Make it happen.

I dunno. He lacks pedigree, but his production has been good and he is still young. This is only the 22nd start of his career. 40TD and just 11 INTs. That isn’t shabby.

Prescott has turned into an absolute stud and wasn’t highly touted coming out of college.

Can the Steelers find their own Prescott?

See how the Cowboys understand that you need to score to win?

Y’all know our idiot head coach doesn’t see it that way. Guy is a moron.

Remember folks:

Cooper Rush was given the keys this season by the Cowboys coaching staff.

Ben was told to stay in his lane by ours.

I still would have preferred Ingram as depth than the mighty Derek Tuszka or the other nameless grocery baggers who have taken snaps in his place.

Highsmith needs to step it up as well. 6 sacks is pathetic given he plays opposite TJ.

I don't know about anyone else, but regular season games this late when it should be wild card weekend pisses me off.

I've been annoyed by this 17 game season since it was announced. Talk about a decision not based on making the game better but on shoveling more money into the owners' pockets.

And you have to tip your cap to McCarthy. He seems to understand the modern NFL a hell of a lot better than the dipshit on our sideline.

Won't the winner of the Monday night wildcard game have a shorter week to prepare for the divisional round than other wildcard winners? Doesn't that put them at a competitive disadvantage?

Next weekend is the triple header playoff bonanza. Two games Saturday, three Sunday, and one Monday.

I’m with Kabong. This is all a bit much

It will be interesting to see who they put there.

Do they have it in them to give the Monday game to one of their golden boys like Brady or Mahomes?

No doubt when we finally make the playoffs again we will get the Monday nighter followed by a Saturday game the following week.

And playoff football doesn’t belong on a Monday night.

Ingram didn't want to be a steeler, so what was tomlin supposed to do? Sacrifice Highsmith to appease him?

Some team eventually is going to get royally fucked by a Monday Night to Saturday turn around. It might not happen this year, but eventually it will happen. I hope it never happens to us.

When you are a start-up company, you do what you have to to make money. When you are a $16 billion dollar enterprise, you no longer need to do things just to make money. You can think of your product and refrain from doing things that worsens your product. It shouldn't be only about the money at this stage for the NFL.

"You can think of your product and refrain from doing things that worsens your product. It shouldn't be only about the money at this stage for the NFL."

Sometimes short term greed ruins long-term prospects.

One of the reasons football was special was that it was rare...as opposed to the other big three sports.

Baseball needs to go back to 154 games, and hockey/basketball drastically scaled back.

There is nothing less interesting than November basketball or hockey except May baseball.

Nothing about regular season football in January is right.

Notice the price of tickets on apps compared to a couple of years ago. And its not just COVID.
