Unless your goal is for him to have a ceiling of Ryan Tannehill.
-
Yeah, Pittsburgh is doomed. This is what you get when you care about looking respectable year-to-year instead of caring about winning a Super Bowl with a long range game plan. It's rare in this league that you can have your cake and eat it too.
-
I would start over, but I have a feeling Wilson has done exactly what Pittsburgh wanted from him this year. With this scheme and the lack of talented skill players, this had to have been the most optimal outcome for them offensively.
-
Well, unfortunately the team that comes out of that battle the least unscathed will be the one that ends up playing KC. KC plays the Texans next week unless the Broncos upset the Bills.
-
I don't know, that Bills vs Ravens game could be the best thing all post season.
-
Ha for sure, that was more aggressive than needed! I don't have that vested of an interest in the situation. But those who deny evolution do get under my skin. Including those who deny the evolution of sports. A psychiatrist might trace this mental issue back to the Twins Terry Ryan era I suppose.
-
Yeah, Wilson is better than what they've had since Roethlisberger retired, but it's still really, really bad. And they doubled down on their disregard for passing the ball by hiring Arthur Smith! He was an OL coach, who got promoted to the OC job under Mike Vrabel who also hated to throw the ball, got lucky by having Derrick Henry, parlayed that into a HC job with Atlanta where he PROVED that his system only works with a HOF RB, then the Steelers decided to thumb their noses at the rest of the league AND their fans and hire this doofus who couldn't teach a QB how to blow his nose.
-
They have to be the only organization that hasn't cared to put any effort into developing a passing game the last half decade. I've always liked the Steelers and Tomlin, but the utter stubbornness in wanting to play 1980's football is starting to get really annoying. Sure, you'll get to the playoffs but with zero chance at winning the championship. Seems like a bad goal.
-
What?!? I thought that was Darnold!
-
Wow. I didn't see this coming. Love to see Jim Harbaugh humbled though.
-
They may call a time out, and the good pro QBs may recraft the play but I think there are still a lot who run the play as the coach calls and only move to the prescribed audibles if available and if exact criteria are met. Only a handful say, 'this is a stupid play, we're doing it my way instead'. Not coincidentally, those are the QBs I want on my team.
-
Lost in that whole botched goal line stand; even if they scored, Texas was going to leave OSU way too much time to march down and win it. I was already pretty confident it was going to end with a 35 yard field goal.
-
That pitch for a 7 yard loss at the one was such a terrible play call. You can't run in short yardage against that OSU D, so run a play that gets you negative yards if they do what is expected?
-
Funny how OSU fans wanted to fire Ryan Day after the Michigan game. Even funnier that even if they win the championship, those same fans will still want him fired.
-
Wow. That was a crazy last six plays.
-
Texas is going to score, but leave waaaaaaay too much time.
-
Texas is hanging in there. Going in I thought these teams were fairly evenly matched, and the score reflects that, but the play doesn't; OSU is clearly better. Hope they lose.

Vikings-Rams possibly moving to arizona

As far as pro sports fans go, 'LA faithful' applies to the Dodgers and Lakers only. -

Yeah, we'll see what those prices drop to about an hour before kickoff. From PFT: https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/rams-say-35-000-of-their-season-ticket-holders-bought-tickets-to-game-in-arizona “What an amazing showing by our fans to buy over 35k tickets in initial presales,” Demoff wrote on social media. Yeah, except that's the thing, the Rams don't have 35K FANS who own season tickets. They have 35K ticket brokers who know LA is a destination city and sell their tickets to opposing fans. What a load of spin garbage. The Rams will not have an overwhelming majority of fans here, it will be the same as in LA, an even split or worse. -
Never got to that one, but wish I had. I have heard nice reports about the atmosphere of the area. I would amend my statement from 'the worst stadium' to 'the most dated stadium (without major upgrades)'.
-
I will credit the Twins for being able to play everything close to the vest. Not just with this but with trades and free agents too. Some leaks, but not like other teams. Though, perhaps our lack of bloodhound media types also plays into that equation.
-
The Coliseum was the worst stadium in professional sports. If they'd have built a new stadium any time in the past 40 years, the A's would still be in Oakland. Not defending billionaires getting free billion dollar stadiums, just pointing out why the A's moved and why the Twins won't. The only teams that leave are the ones that demand a new stadium. The Twins are nearly last in line to do that right now.
-
Sure, tell them what NOT to do......
-
Yeah, that's what they want now, but it's super short sighted. Half the league is struggling with 21st Century TV and marketing situations, and now they're going to throw two more bottom tier markets into the mix? Yeah, great call MLB. Those new markets will be shiny and fresh for their local fans for 5-10 years than will be hanging out at the bottom of the food chain with the Pirates and Marlins. But that's pro sports owners for you. Bleed as much cash out of it as you can now and don't worry about the future.
-
Thinking about this more, if we truly should expect new owners by opening day (I'm still skeptical), cutting back on payroll can't be a good sign. Why would the Pohlad's care if they're done writing checks come March? If payroll is being cut, wouldn't it be to appease the new owners? To be clear, moving Vazquez or Paddack could be done for goals OTHER than trimming payroll, but if they are moved, we probably need to wait before we start hailing our new masters.
