Matt Canada becomes the first Coach/Coordinator fired Mid-season for the Steelers since 1941.... You have to be really terribly bad for the Rooney's to fire you mid-season....... Now we see if Canada was the problem or if Kenny Pickett is just bad.

Firing the OC seemed to help the Bills. Maybe that's where he got the idea from 🙂

I think Pickett is just bad.

Oh, it's very disappointing; nothing clever..when it was said that Kielce fumbled I was just going to say it was because Taylor wasn't there this week, then I had second thoughts about that. 😁 I'm already the underdog here, didn't want to ostracize myself anymore! 🙂

next item.

THE RAIDERS aren't out of the mix! 5 left to play they could finish 10 - 6 ...

I don't think you're far off. Kelce has kind of come off to me as immature. I think he's got Taylor on his mind and like some 16 year old chasing the prom queen, flying all over the world (he was with her in Brazil the weekend - not a short flight), she wasn't there and now he's all sad. Especially since this was supposed to be the week the parents met. All that fell through. He needs to get his mind on the game and not other stuff. Because, honestly, except for that one big game he had, he has come off average the last four weeks.

And with the Chiefs horrible receivers, they need Kelce. Mind you, I'm a Buffalo guy, so I'm not complaining, let the Chiefs sink 🙂 But as a neutral football fan for other teams, Kelce needs to get going.

I agree with this statement 100%!!!! I was soooo happy to see them lose. 🙂

I was thinking that when I saw reports of him being in Brazil. Just not a good idea and I wonder for how long this will go on. He needs to get his head back in the game. The loss wasn't too bad, it wasn't how they played. Dropped balls and of course the usual tush-push (which will hopefully be banned next season) by the Eagles. I said it before, they're going to tush-push the entire 100 yards if they have to and it's as boring as it gets. Really hope the 49ers will kick them out in the playoffs for a Chiefs vs 49ers SB rematch.

Banning a play because one team is better at it than every other team isn't reasonable. If the Brotherly Shove risks injurying someone, then yeah, ban it. It looks like the trick to the tush-push is the center and guards gets under the DT's, taking them off their feet. With zero leverage, they can't push back. To counter, the DT/NT needs to go low as well.

There's a rule that it not allowed to pull a player ahead. The need to extend it to pushing one too.

It used to be illegal. Check out this classic pic from the Ice Bowl.

Detroit makes a stupid play call by going for it on 4th down in their own end, and now GB made a stupid play call by going for two, instead of making it a two score, 2 2-point conversion score.

NFL head coaches have to be the dumbest people on earth.

I've never been a fan of her music but I've always had a lot of respect for her career. That said, I feel like she sort of phoned it in during the half time performance.

Well, as I mentioned, she's 77. She's not going to be bouncing around stage anymore, like she's 27.

Some interesting games, the Lions didn’t manage a win I saw even though they had by far the better record.

That Jets hail-mary into the Dolphins end zone, and the resulting Fins interception and touchdown after running the length of the field, that was something.

I was so pissed at DET.

Come on man. They wore that stupid no logo helmet and then played like crap. They keep losing on Walking Bird Day...

In my fantasy league, normally I wouldn't have played the Dolphins D because they are average, compared to their offense. But I picked up the Dolphins D and played them against the Jets, because...the Jets. I got 30 points for that move, and I got 30 points last week when I played the Bills D against the Jets.

So, thank you, Jets. Next up for the Jets, the Falcons. Should I pick up the Falcons D? 🙂
