I mean, if there's a minute left and the game hangs in the balance, I'm not giving any to 20. Just not trusting him in that spot. And the only way I'm using 14 is if there's a particular play I want to run that includes him as the pass-catching back. Because he is really good at that, route-running and being like an extra slot receiver out there.

Feed 30 in any situation. He hasn't had enough snaps or touches.

Steelers have James Pierre as the outside CB opposite Joey Porter Jr. in warmups. So that tells me even on the rare occasion they go base 3-4, Pierre might get the nod over Brandin Echols, who needs to lock in on the slot role.
12:33
Isaac Seumalo is indeed lining up as the starting LG. Only concern there is if he can't play through the pec injury again, which happened earlier in the season, then you're either not gonna be able to run your heavy package or you have to plug in Calvin Anderson/Ryan McCollum as the extra lineman.

What is going on with the NFL?  Both WSH and MIA had 4th and goal from the 1 and didn't kick a FG?  And Miami's was with less than 2 minutes left?

Watching that game here in the press box. Miami had fourth-and-3 and ran it up the middle instead of kicking the go-ahead field goal with 1:44 on the clock. All your defenses has to do is stop the Commanders from getting a TD. If they kick a field goal you go to overtime. But I'm not surprised. It's Mike McDaniel, who long ago should have been fired.

Who was fielding punts and kickoffs during warm ups?
Brian Batko
12:36
Ke'Shawn Williams, so it looks like they'll stick with him on punt returns for at least another week. Keeping those additional hits off Calvin Austin.
Yates

Given some of the social media chatter about AR’s reactions when a teammates messes up will he tamp that down this game?
Ray Fittipaldo
12:42
That's who he is. He didn't just start that this year. he expects a lot of himself and his teammates.

I asked Jonnu Smith about that, as well - living in the Truman Show with Aaron Rodgers - and he said don't get it twisted. Rodgers isn't checked out or a bad teammate with bad body language. He's just passionate about winning, gets frustrated when they aren't up to the standard, and that's what makes him one of the greatest ever.

Enjoy the game. Paul will be by in a few minutes to take over from here.

I want to see Steelers 31-17 and the 17 in garbage time. I want to Flacco sacked a half dozen times. He needs to be afraid of the Steelers again.

Here we go
It is cold out here
It is windy out here
It is going to get more windy out here
My senses - bet the under!
12:59
Steelers 23-16 is my prediction. The wind will make it tough for Flacco to "cook" or whatever that dumb saying is

So will we hear "fire Tomlin" for the first time today?
Ken

Analytics have the Steelers as a 58% favorite and they are favored by 5 points.  I have the Steelers today too.
Magnum Malone

Even if the Steelers win, I will remain unconvinced.
Jeff B

Can I get the first Tomlin sucks and Rodger’s is an old bum  on here? 🤣
Zeise

The Steelers need to win today. If they lose they will miss the playoffs. But I think they will win

I really wish people would quit hyping a "standard" that is the epitome of mind numbing mediocrity.
Ken

Poor return.

zeise it’s not just this game though. The Steelers need to go on a meaningful winning streak. Win today lose next week it’s just all the same

I’m am so tired of Tomlin
Zeise
1:04
I think winning today means they could lose next week
Ken
1:06
Yeah!  No 3 and out!
Zeise

Apparently the play action roll out to Metcalf was in the game plan today
