"Under the current CBA proposal that NFL owners are pushing for, the playoff field would be expanded to seven teams from each conference, while the regular season would be increased to 17 games per team...
This looks rather fishy when you watch the video breakdown. The markers are lined up exactly 10 yards on 1st down but the sideline official decides to move the first down marker back 1 yard on 2nd down so the Cowboys have to gain an extra yard for a first down. In the redzone, that is not...
I know I know it's PFT but the story is coming from Josh Harris quotes who was the Steelers RB in the huddle on the play so it holds some weight.
"Former Steelers running back Josh Harris says Ben Roethlisberger fumbled on purpose late in a 2014 game because he wanted to spite offensive...
#60 ref standing next to the collision. There's another ref on the backside of it on the same sideline. The backside ref reaches for his flag and closest ref immediately motions for him to not throw it and rushes over to say something to him before they ultimately let it go.
Wonder who paid...
Took a few days to reflect after the disappointing ending to the season and came to some interesting conclusions. The Steelers are in a very unusual crossroads where it seems like many different avenues are converging that will require many difficult decisions to be made at once. The...
Not impressed with Switzer despite being a "return specialist".
I liked when we used AB situationally in return situations. Basically when a team is punting from within their own 30 and the chances of getting some room for a return are greater. I miss having that game changing spark he would...
In penalties and penalty yardage.
A whopping 42 accepted penalties leads the NFL and is 7 more than the 2nd most penalized team (Philly). This is 5 more than they had last season thru week 4 (they were still #2). On the flip side, the Steelers also have the most penalties called against their...
Same old bitching after a loss (tie), figured I'd try to start a thread to bring some of you back off the ledge.
Yes it was a **** game by many, rather than rehash the obvious, here's some things that stood out to me:
-Hunter is not a #3. His timing with Ben was off all game and it seemed...

He has been suspended 4 games but is currently appealing. Any bets on the Rog reducing his suspension?

Well this certainly doesn't bode well for Bell's contract considering he wants WR1 money too.

"For the past couple months, it was clear the NFL was going to change the catch rule. The changes sound a lot like a more common sense approach.

2 huge 4th and 1 calls and they draw up the 2 best plays of the game for easy conversions. If they played it by the book and went FG/Punt on the 2 4th downs, they lose.
Also notice how none of the 4th and 1s were pitch sweeps and both passes were under 5 yards.
Seriously, I'd love to see the stats this year when we run no huddle vs the huddle offense. Or even just Ben's stats because it has to be ridiculously one-sided.
We run no huddle for 85% of the game and Ben throws for 500 yards. We come out the 2nd half with slower pace and not running the...

I know this was mentioned in the other Pats thread but figured it deserved its own considering he could and should be suspended for multiple weeks (but probably won't). He gave the dude a concussion by spearing him as he's...

You’ve got to love a guy with principles.
DeAngelo Williams, a multidimensional, utilitarian running back who totaled 343 yards on 98 carries in nine games for Pittsburgh last year, is looking for a job. And while backs of his age and skill set don’t necessarily have the pick of teams from...
