Never wrong to root against the Pats, IMO... even if it means rooting for the Ravens.
Steelers and Jets tomorrow. The Duck will be starting QB, JuJu is back as is TE McDonald. Both should help the passing game. I hope so because the Jets are the #2 Rushing defense in the league. My confidence in the Steelers' Offense is low, especially after last week. Hodges showed a weak arm on several plays, more than a few were off the mark and not just the ones that were intercepted. He has got to do better. After a blistering start, DB Fitzpatrick has been quiet but TJ Watt has been bringing it and earned a Pro Bowl start. The D has got to have another monster game.
Oh, someone told me that a previous best in the league running back plays for the Jets. Le'veon is not having a great year. I hope the motivation to beat his old team falls flat.
If the Steelers win out then they are in the playoffs. If they lose tomorrow then all the zany tiebreakers come into play if they beat the Ravens on the final game. Regardless, it has been a good season for a team as battered as the Steelers have been. After Ben went down I never expected them to be holding down a wildcard spot at all let alone this late in the season. I hear talk that Tomlin should get a coach of the year nomination and if the Steelers make the playoff, maybe he will get a nomination. What say you @Coach13 ?
Are there any Steelers fans surprised the Patriots were up to their old trick again? Oh, I know, I know. That video crew was from the marketing department and they weren't filming the other team's bench and the coaching staff had nothing to do with it and etc. I think they probably were doing exactly that but I wouldn't think so if they were filming any team other than the Bungles.
The really good news is that Laurel Mountain opened for the season today.
