Divisional Playoffs thread

[Mr.wizard]

I'm talking about the schemed up TDs. Jax got Kirk on a LB, KC used a nice "pick" route to get Kelce wide open at the goal line. Steelers just try to "line up and beat your man", and execution is blamed every time it fails with nobody open because the D knows the play.

We run both of those plays.

Agree. Upgrade the lines and the Steelers will look postseason worthy. The tough thing is I don't think the draft class is particularly deep for elite linemen.

Have to go the FA route. Let's see if Weidl convinces the room to make a run for a top OL or DL in FA. Imagine signing O Brown and J Hargrave in FA so you can focus on WR or CB in the early portion of the draft.

I'd much rather they go for a couple impact players like that instead of a bunch of average, which has been the MO for years.

What about MT stepping in for Pickett in the TB game? He's the reason the Steelers won. A lot of QBs can look good for a half of football.

Nice player, no doubt, but I usually root against other teams getting repeat championships

no dynasties, please, until the Steelers forge one again

I'm the opposite, if the Steelers aren't in it I'll root for the Niners or Cowboys or Pats, maybe the only thing that will roust Rooney out of this current malaise is a threat to the franchise's hallowed history and legacy, which is always used as the excuse for "staying the course".

Trevor will be back next season. I saw some growth in these playoffs, and Pederson is a smart coach when it comes to offense and QBs.

As for Mahomes what can you say anymore. One leg and still something. Mind you he's going to be limited next week which gives either opponent a bigger chance for sure.

AFC has too many QBs and offensive coaches for Tomlin's "take the air out of the ball" to seriously compete for a Super Bowl.

Congrats to the Eagles; they are a good example of an organization that understands the value of good lines.

Hurts has progressed as well. A QB that can pass and mixes in a couple of runs to keep the defense honest. Looking forward to seeing a possible 49ers/ Eagles match up.

Mahomes hurt, 17-7 still. Both KC and Jax scored beautifully schemed TDs in the red zone, something that doesn't exist in Pittsburgh. So depressing nothing's changing next year.

Hurts ran 9 times today and led all QBs in rushing yards last year.

I thought you said running QBs don't win jack?

Good scrimmage for the Eagles overall.

Giants need some WRs in a bad way just for starters. Showing up to a drag race with a moped doesn't go too far in today's NFL.

trading away Kadarius Toney to the Chiefs certainly didn't help.

Well, it’s not they don’t know what they need going forward.

I like dynasties.. lol
