Basically the reason is because "we won" will be used to excuse what was a horrid performance by the team and a near loss to a backup and a 3rd string QB. We found what we were looking for in the mess this week. But it's only a matter of time before we don't, and then drop a game to the 0-5 Bengals or something to that degree.

it was an oddly long discussion after winning the coin toss. id imagine it was like

steelers: we want to go this way
ref : then you are kicking?
steelers: no, but we want this way
ref: so you are deferring?
steelers: I SAID WE WANT THIS SIDE

other teammate : did you just defer?
steeler : Wait? What? gently caress!

And it loving worked. Until it didn't. I'd call it Clownball but with the body count in this one it was more like Deathball.

Maybe the most disturbing thing about the Ravens game was how after the Mason Rudolph injury, the cart wouldn't start. So they picked him up and had him walk off the field. I don't understand that. Do they not have a stretcher anywhere in the building they can't put him on and carry him out??

The first one looked like we should have tried to challenge for PI. The third one was Boyle being useless and not making a catch he got both his hands on. The second one was admittedly an awful pass and decision by Jackson.

Yeah the first one wasn't Lamar's fault, I didn't see the other two

Continuing a frightening trend, Kawalimus is right. Only one of those interceptions was anywhere near his fault but that one was 100% on him.

The third one was particularly stupid. It was a decent throw to nick boyle in a tough spot that he got both his hands on while going backwards and falling down but he bobbled it. and the steelers player grabbed it. But the thing was, the ball hit the ground while it was in the Steeler guy's hand, AND MOVED!! This was clear on the replay. BUT THEY DID NOT OVERTURN IT! Just the stupidest thing. The rules guy came on and basically said yeah I can't understand for the life of me why that was upheld, it was clearly an incomplete pass.

So basically Nick Boyle being useless as usual as well as the refs making a baffling decision to not overturn a ball that clearly hit the ground and bounced up in the guy's arm.

CMC with another huge game.

Lot of haters talked poo poo about that pick, but I always believed.

Haters vacate, this is CMC's world now. Only thing that can stop him are electrolyte imbalances.

I'm atting ya! And it can be. It depends on the context. Like if we're playing well week to week but we have one lousy game and we come out of it? That's ok with me and I'm not worried about it. But if we've been looking shaky and we have a game like this then yeah I'm still frustrated. I feel like we are regressing offensively each week. And it's early in the season. So these problems are going to get worse if we don't do something about it.

If we have a tough loss where we look generally good and still have a strong record then I wouldn't worry about that.

Sometimes a pick that seems so bad is actually good. Like Ed Reed in Baltimore. Seemed like exactly the wrong pick when we made it. But turned out to be a beloved Hall of Famer.

Titans are very unpredictable and never easy to beat.

Bills coaching pretty good again. I don't hate them for going for it on fourth. Great game plan for Allen to get him settled down.

Also after all the crap I took in the AFC East thread for suggesting Jordan Phillips was going to be good I would just like to say: suck it!

I think I just enjoy that it's not coach speak or whatever. He's not giving any secrets away or saying anything too mind shattering, but he goes through some basic football stuff which almost no one ever does.

Nah, I'm just loving around, it's cool and also kinda nice that every QB in the AFC South is cool and as far as I know not a rapist or a kiddy-kisser. More a slam on the Falcons than Deshaun for sure.

Is it maybe not a great idea to share with the world what you saw and were attempting to do against defenses post game? I'm sure the team you play watches tape, understands their own play calls, and when/how they fail, but sharing your insight into the process might reveal something of tendencies or general strategy to future opponents. I'm probably over thinking this. Still, this is a a league where the most successful team routinely provides warm Gatorade to visiting teams so maybe every possible edge counts.
