Jets Win! Jets Win!
Egg on my face. Classic trap game and I didn’t see it. Teach me to call games before they happen. Don’t make bets on my advice. Of course, that was hilarious and watching Steeler Nation go from “SUPER BOWL 49 CHAMPIONS” to “TOTAL PANIC” in 3 hours was pretty entertaining.
To be fair, I don’t think anyone really expected the Jets to win, even if they expected the Steelers to come back to earth. Now the Steelers have dominating wins over good teams, and losses to the Jets and Tampa Bay. Steelers are a wacky team. It’s okay, Pittsburgh, I know how it feels to be a fan of an inconsistent team. Although right now we are consistently bad.
Other thoughts on the weekend:
Jimmy Graham pushed off, Cox flopped a bit. Cox may have flopped but Graham extended his arms, and in game speed it looks very much like a push off and can see why it was called. Saints fans should be angrier about other things, like giving up that 4th down bomb.
Go Browns!
Oh my god Bears what happened
Ravens apparently played a game this weekend and won, no idea who the “titans” are though.
London gets another crappy blowout
Giants are bad, Eli not the problem.
Lions and Cardinals, top of the NFC. Awesome.
Packers are turning into the Patriots of the NFC. They win with such ease that they are more interesting when things go wrong. Also McCarthy should have let Rodgers break the single game TD record, sitting him was lame.
I was at the Cowboys-Jaguars game and as they kept us updated of the scores around the league, I saw “PIT: 0-NYJ-14” and laughed out loud. The Steelers-Jets game was more entertaining than the game ai was actually at.
I was there too – we left at the end of the third quarter!
I don’t get why people left early, it may have been a bad game but it’s your only chance to see live football for the next year
I called it. :colbert:
The Steelers are just further proof that parity has turned the NFL into a mishmash where you have two or three clearly good teams, two or three clearly bad teams, and then a 26-ish team mishmash where nobody knows.
For real doe! My weekly pick ’ems are completely screwed up. I used to win, on average, three or four weeks in a season in my office league. This year? I’m scraping the bottom. No team is reliable this year, except maybe for the Broncos (barf). And I still don’t trust the Lions or Cards, regardless what their records say.
95-51-1 this year. I am at peace in the chaotic mess that is the NFL’s parity.
The Steelers always do this. They get up and win the big games but then lose to teams they should beat easily.
So damn true. I knew either one of two things would happen with this game. Either it’d be way closer then it should or they’d lose. Only time they’ve not done something like this are the seasons they went to the Super Bowl.
The Steelers have been inconsistent like this the past few years, yeah. They play up or down to their level of competition- it shows a lack of focus and mental discipline, really. It gets tiresome. I loves them but I hates them, and as a fan, that’s just annoying.
They play to the level of their competition. If they play the Jets, they play like one of the worst teams in the NFL. If they play the Colts, they play like they’re Super Bowl-bound. If they play the Bengals or Rams, they play like a mediocre, middle-of-the-league team.
Honestly, I think that almost every other Steelers fan I talked to about the game expected something like that to happen. In our last 12 games against teams that are 0.200 or below, we have gone 2-10. That’s a little absurd.
Please make a 49ers comic, then a cowboys comic. Then please make a jaguars, titans, Redskins, Rams, and eagles comic in that order every Saturday!
My Steelers are only good against good teams. This is known.
YES! YES! YES!
TBH, I laughed my butt off in the face of my obnoxious Steeler-fan friends. I literally thought I was having a hallucination when I saw the Jets up 20-3 in the 2nd quarter.
Loving the historical references

That’s it, Dave… come to the Brown side…let the Great Lakes xmas ale flow through you…
So Dave have you started rooting for a second team since the Giants are pretty much done? I’m riding that Hoyer is the Messiah bandwagon….even though I wish I could be riding the Eli train! ;-;
Always pick against the Steelers if they’re going against a bad team, always. I wasn’t even mad when they lost because I, along with every other rational Steelers fan, saw something like that happening the same way I saw their issues with the Buccaneers and Jaguars happening and the same way I know that they’re going to struggle with the Titans this week because they always play like crap against bad teams.
The Bears…their in a better place now.
Oh holy shit that was a dumb grammar error
I’m still convinced there’s a hangover from big rivalry games like Ravens-Steelers or Seahawks-49ers. I looked it up, the last time Baltimore and Pittsburgh both came away with wins the week after playing each other was 2010. It drains you more than other games.
Goddamn it Bears.
Sure I’d have liked to see them leave Rodgers in, but only long enough to get his throwing arm snapped off and watch Lameblow burn to the ground.
To be fair, the Steelers probably didn’t recover from what they had seen in the game tape. I mean how does anyone get over from what they saw in a snuff film?
