My big hope is that not too many fans sell off tickets for profit. Don't want to see Washington well represented @ Ford Field.

Charger Texan game just wild, since I tuned in.

Russell Wilson is the kryptonite to any faith I have in Pitt. He is junk. In spite of that, if the D can respond, maybe they get past Balt., but not likely in my thinking.

With all this Johnson and Glenn talk, possibly taking coaches with them my brain sparked this; "I wonder if and when, years from now, people start talking about the Dan Campbell coaching tree". Still real early, do you think this will happen?

One thing I seem to notice at least once a game is a big play from Paschal. He's not an edge rusher so the moving him to cover for Hutch when the break occurred was 'meh. Not an all-pro, not McNeil, yet he does make plays.

And...the next guy will think he can turn it around.

I think most accept a moment from 0 to flag. What makes it hard is the inconsistency, which I get is kind of married to 'gray area'. I saw about 3 that were not called and appeared obvious, I called it from my LR with 'time to spare' then 1 they whistled immediately at the zero as if the ref only watched the play clock. I actually think MN snapped the ball. That's the gripe. And of course, we only gripe from a defense perspective. 😉

Seems they got used to being beneficiaries of PI calls. Saw that stat where they have received 2nd most (I think) yards due to PI calls. ANY physical play then, as our DB's did, deserves the call in their minds. Calls not made...whine...

And it demonstrated the rather large drop off from him to Nowaske.

Prophecy!

Campbell started building this 4y ago, getting comfortable with the idea of 4 downs, not 3. Teams are now trying to emulate him, but their mindset is not the same. He has said repeatedly, "we are built for this". Same with 'trick plays'. I am convinced. They have go-to plays and if they miss, it does not infect them. They stay the course. Winning creates so much motivation to keep that faith in him and the riskiness some call recklessness. O'Connell failed yesterday wrongly trying to match Campbell. His team is not built for it. Go Lions! EDIT ADD: And we have a great offense that makes 4th down tries less risky for us. He plays these odds.

Always humored by these reasons players think 'why' and framing it as not why..."not going to put the blame on." If it is not why then why mention it?

Submission!

Demolishing! Agreed

Haha…Vildor!

Looked like ball bounced up, hands kinda at 4 and 8…?

Oops…

MN WR still silent after Arnold goes off. Go Vildor! Will also be great to get Arnold a week off.

Dominant!

D needs to keep balling!

Great block by Patrick!

Who said stop throwing horizontal 😳

Another defense stop!

I’m amazed at how often they seem to get it wrong and by half yard or so. It’s like they are trying to imagine a knee goes down before the ball hits the ground, so move it back.

Stop again!
