If Denver beats Cleveland and Houston, they have a great chance at the playoffs! Thats nuts considering they looked like one of the worst teams ever at the start.

From the second quarter of the Washington game through the third quarter of the Chicago game (10 quarters, which includes 70-20), the Broncos scored 53 points and allowed 130; in the other 30 quarters this season they have scored 164 and allowed 138.

It also caused a turnover which led to 3 points, which would have swung the game to the Vikings!

Does Matt Canada have some sort of blackmail material on the ownership?

He's a nepotism hire that Tomlin can push around and the owner is extremely cheap and never fires anyone mid season.

So does this mean that their defense is elite to be able to hold teams at bay? Because in that context can you imagine an actual offensive lineup

The defense stinks and is going to get much worse as the season goes on and injuries are starting to pile up. The only thing they do well is create turnovers which is somewhat luck dependent.

The team emits an aura of trash that causes temporary insanity in pretty much everyone they play so they do the dumbest poo poo possible all game long. Those that don't get affected by that aura just blow them out. The Steelers are the Iowa of the nfl. This team absolutely sucks to watch play every single week

This sort of thing is what makes me roll my eyes at defensive players complaining about taking out things like hip drop tackles. They wring their hands all “golly gee how am I going to stop someone now” when half the time instead of just tackling someone they throw themselves bodily at them hoping for ????

i dont actually mind his dumb homerism that much (other than him carrying water for an already dead roethlisburger the one season and then crowning pickett during training camp), a lot of it is clearly played for laughs in the afcn whiparound. he's just a really bad writer - his articles are like middle school level prose.

the big thing was the athletic also used to have ed bouchette for the steelers who was really good (they poached him from the pittsburgh gazette similar to zrebiec getting poached from the baltimore sun). he unfortunately retired just last year, though, so now its literally just kaboly

I haven’t been thrilled with the Pats beat writer either. After the Buffalo win he poo poo out this article about how we all need to hold our horses, maybe Mac Jones and late stage Belichick really ARE exactly what this team needs and it’s all about to come together.

Then they proceed to lose 3 in a row culminating in that dogshit Germany game and Mac gets loving benched lmao. The Athletic seems to be struggling.

Every time the question of why Canada is still employed comes up they double down and promote him or increase his role even further somehow. It’s really something.

The Athletic should have kept to its original premise: pay for good quality sports journalism. Then they brought in ads. Then they started consolidating local coverage. Then they sold to NYT. Then NYT fired their sports team. Then they downsized The Athletic writing staff again.

It absolutely attracts enough business so long as you’re not capitalism brained into believing profits have to go up at ever increasing rates in perpetuity.

It’s super frustrating to watch good businesses set up successful systems only to get bought out by a conglomerate that ruins the original product in a search for ever greater profits.

Does Pickett know you're not allowed to throw the ball to the white parts on the side of the field? Steelers could improve dramatically if someone tells him what "out of bounds" means.

I was kind of under the impression that the Athletic was always structured the way it was, pay top dollar to attract top tier sports journalism talent and make yourself an elite name in sports coverage as a loss leader, with the intention to get bought by some bigger entity and then parachute the gently caress outta there the instant the ink was dry.
