Trump is a man who has crumbled in the face of strong adversity every single time.
He is the definition of a little bitch.
yea its nice and all but Kaep is still not on a roster, so they essentially still agree with the President.

This Steeler team is infuriating. I had high hopes this season but I am seeing more of the same with this group. They will make the playoffs but I honestly don't see them doing much damage once they are in. The offense is just not getting it done. Sure the D got steam rolled but if you can't score more than 17 points well you deserve to lose.

That's not picking a side. That's going where the wind blows.
Brady is a politician who will say whatever it takes to make himself look good. Commenting on Kaepernick starting means nothing. Calling a spade a spade means nothing.

So what about the Steelers not going out during the anthem because they don't want to actually openly take a stance?
He had some amazing plays which won't pop up on the highlight reel, even if overall he had a quiet game. That scramble on 3rd and 4 which led to the first TD was amazing.
Yeah. I mean if he hits Alshon, who was wide fucking open, it's a completely different game. The first two drives he also took terrible sacks cause he holds on to the ball sometimes way too long.
You know he could have easily taken Trump's side and gotten support from millions of assholes who are pissed about the kneeling. Sorry he didn't speak in strong enough language for you but he definitely picked a side when he said that Kaepernick should be signed.

Did they link arms to show unity against Trump, display belief that freedom of expression is important, that Kaep should be on a team, or that black people have a shit time in the US?
The message felt kinda muddy to me. The kneeling itself had a much more straight forward message. I just don't think 90% of players, staff, and owners are all for pushing Karl's particular viewpoint.

I honestly have no idea what message they were trying to send. Tomlin said that there were some that wanted to kneel, some that wanted to stand, so the group agreed not to be divisive and skip the whole thing altogether.
...Then Alejandro Villanueva leaves the tunnel and stand for the anthem?!
After the game Tomlin made comments about how he was pissed at Trump for politicizing the entire thing and taking the teams (and every other teams) focus away from football.
Them staying in the locker room takes criticism away from any one Steeler, which I commend. Villanueva saying "fuck this" and going out there anyway makes every one of his teammates look bad. Honestly fuck that guy.
Apology accepted.

I think Villanueva being an actual combat vet changes the math a bit. They probably allowed him leeway because of his military service. I didn't think it made his teammates look worse, if anything it showed that the team respected the actual military vet in their midst.

Wentz is so weird to me. He will fuck up such easy throws/plays and then make some great play out of nowhere. Eagles got so fucking lucky on that terrible PI at the end. Ball was like 5 yards out of bounds no way Smith could have caught it. I really hope Wentz's struggles are just him not having much experience as a starter.
yea i've already seen Steelers fans applauding that guy, even some that im friends with that are pretty liberal.
the patriotism is deep in this country, even liberals that would otherwise agree blacks get mistreated by the police are still like stand up for the damn anthem!
I kinda give Villanueva a pass dude is a vet so I get why he would still be out there. That military thinking/behavior usually sticks. My friend had his daughter b-day party yesterday and games where on the tv I heard a few "hell yea" in support of firing players I just rolled my eyes and walked away. What's funny is my friends mom kept trying to get them to shut up and steer the conversation back to the kids and party.

I really think it just comes down to him lacking polish on the finer techniques of QB play. He was very inexperienced even at the college level, so he has a lot to clean up. He's improved a lot of things this offseason as is, and if that remains true into next season it's a promising sign. He needs to polish his deep ball accuracy, his screen accuracy, and his habit of holding on to the ball too long. His decision making, footwork, and general accuracy all improved this offseason. Unfortunately he did not get the time he needed to polish his game by riding on the bench, and didn't play enough in college to iron some of it out. The fact that polish is all he needs is a promising thing though.

Every team owner wants their tax cut and they don't want to piss off the people who can afford season tickets.
exactly.
The Packers have nothing to worry about with season ticket holders though.
Brady with those baby steps :/
Yeah he'll pull some crazy Houdini shit then do some baffling play the next time
I think it's just due to his mechanics still being rough. There's been an improvement from last year so I think he'll keep getting better but he still has a lot of work to do. I have your concerns too though

I think it was going to work until AV decided he had other plans. I have mixed feelings on this.
No matter what though, all is not well in racist Steeler land. God damn that FB page was a shit show yesterday.
Its not like Stephen Jones would have a drastically different pov from jerry in this regard.

Agreed. That's much better than just saying something is divisive or he should have a job....Hire him!
The babiest of baby steps.
Just need a 3rd down type back. Smallwood and Blount can do damage behind your guys OL.
Beginning tomorrow (start of Week 4): Waiver claim priority is based on this season's standings.

It's not every day you see a real life version of the Total Recall scene, though.
I have to assume that under that artificially tightened face is a sentient aneurysm just waiting to show it's true form. Came pretty close to seeing it with the Zeke defense interview.
I'd also love to hear Jason Garrett defend the walking, talking aneurysm assuming control of the team via his own live sacrifice.
"Today we made a decision that was deemed to be in the best interest of the Dallas Cowboys. We're standing by that decision. We're going to move on. Tell my wife I love her."
I think with Wentz its about consistency of his mechanics. Some of the throws that look wobbly, hes making on the run with guys launching themselves at him. He just heaves the ball up for his WRs to make a play.
I think Pederson is asking him to take more chances on deep throws. He can hit receivers with dimes on moderate to intermediate throws, but hes been off to start the season.
The Jeffery ball should have been a TD.
The scramble that led to the PI against Jeffery was a good enough throw and a great scramble.

The Eagles should have been starting Wizniewski since week one at LG. It was night and day with him blocking over Seumalo or Warmack. Those guys need more time to develop, particularly Seumalo, who had never played LG before this year. He needs to be the starter this year.

Romo's finally gonna make it to the Superbowl next season.
We need to preserve that. It belongs in a museum.
I am hoping its a lack of chemistry (for now) with Smith and Alshon. Obviously, they are better at WR this year but he had better chemistry with Mathews and used to hit him right where he needed it.
True. More than anything they need to commit to running the ball like they did yesterday. Keeps the D honest, reduces the shots on Wentz, and limits his mistakes.
Defense was gassed. Titans won time of possession 2:1 and it was 100F on the field.
They got pounded all day. That was them breaking.
Ah. Why was the TOP so lopsided? Tacks just kept running the ball?
Yeah, offense couldn't stay on the field and they couldn't stop the run as the game wore on.

this makes me sad and happy at the same time
Sounds like NYG's run defense. It's currently last in the league. The heat did no favors yesterday but they've been getting gutted every game thus far.
- DT's being rotated and Snacks is not playing many snaps, DE's not containing their gaps and over pursuing on the edge
- Goodson is out, bad LB play (even when he can play, the LB's are still pretty poor)
- no run game offensively, still dead last per usual
Sounds like fantastic GM work.

I thought Cooks game winning catch was good yesterday. Here is a more zoomed in view and it absolutely was not a catch.
For some reason this angle was only shown once on the broadcast. Makes you wonder if NFL HQ used it at all
