I mean, the Steelers are not that good. We get their games a lot around here, and if there's ever been a 10-0 team that could easily be 5-5, it's them. I wouldn't be surprised if the Ravens made it competitive and at least covered.
I mean, "not that good" is hard to define, certainly we won't go 16-0 or that would be very lucky if we did, and I'd even agree that there's a lot of luck involved in getting to 10-0 now. But the margins are really small in the NFL for the most part. Last year's team went 8-8 with absolute dog shit at QB and lost a lot of games it could have won. Last time we made the playoffs, I think 2017, we went something like 13-3 winning a bunch of games on last minute field goals. That's life in the NFL.
Steelers defense is rated best in the league by DVOA, and they get tackles for loss, sacks, and turnovers - which is really the only way to play defense in a league designed to benefit offenses anymore. Offensively, the run game has really struggled, but it's an underrated receiving corps in that none of those guys will be Pro Bowl selections but their strengths really provide a well balanced group - Claypool is the big body/deep threat, Diontae is the precise route runner, JuJu is the YAC guy, Washington the combat catch guy. They are lots of fun to watch.
I parlayed the Ravens +10.5 and the under last night, so I definitely agreed with your last sentence.
I mean they were kinda punished for following league protocols
By having more time to prepare to play a team with twenty players missing? Yeah, life's rough for them.
I'm curious to see if the Steelers will start having a breakout because of the ravens game. I'd be pissed that the nfl made my undefeated, discliplined team play against covid central

The Steelers had players on the Covid list, too.
No positive tests today but obviously it's very early. Then again, the Bills had to pay the OG outbreak team and didn't see a subsequent outbreak.

Either way, being forced into a short week because of your divisional rival is a shitty situation to be in. Especially while undefeated and this late into the season

They have three games in twelve days. It's not that rare. The Steelers have had three games in twelve days four times in the previous five seasons. The Bills are starting an as-scheduled three games in thirteen days, including road games in AZ and Denver.
I guess my point is is that they're undefeated with a good chance of staying that way. Playing the victim here is pretty embarrassing.
Yeah I think you're right. Do see why they'd be upset though this close to the playoffs
Bills fans were annoyed with waiting for TN to get their shit together and having their game against the Chiefs in limbo. I get that. But at least our players weren't out there complaining about how unfair it all is. (We lost both games, too.)

I agree with all of this. What I meant by not that good is “not elite” and I think that’s correct. I also know that’s a problem with the NFL these days, so much parity after the top teams.
The Steelers are fine, thought the game the other day was just awful though.

Don't have a super strong opinion on the Steelers thing, think the Ravens should have had to forfeit rather than postpone the game, but also think the 3 games in 12 days thing is flimsy.
But if you asked me what NFL team Eric Ebron was playing for, the Steelers would have been in like the twenties of my guesses.
And he's their starting tight end, apparently. What a wasteland position this year.

I think they should have just moved it to week 18. But I know people are wildly against that.
Also, Ebron is a decent fantasy tight end, but he drops so many balls it's just...he's the new Jared Cook but with less talent.

I've almost picked him up like five times this season. He's constantly being picked up and dropped.

Ebron is so off my radar in fantasy. Tbf I have Kelce and Waller, but I haven't even considered him as a bye-week replacement. He's 17th among tight ends on a per-start basis in a .5 ppr league I'm in. That's not good. Not worth rostering, just a prayer of a slot-in guy.
But again, the position is horrendous this year. Ebron even being in the conversation is evidence of that. Waller is like TE3 and puts up 2-point weeks in standard scoring.

Yah I mean, Ebron is so bad, but as a dart throw at least the steelers do use the TE a lot. I don't know. TE sucks.

It sucks so bad lol it really seemed like things were heading in a TE-heavy direction the past few years (Ebron going ten overall, for one thing) and that totally fell apart.

Yeah I thought when there were two starter-worthy TEs on the Patriots (and maybe the ravens with Dennis Pitta and another?) that was gonna do it. Nope.
Post by piggy pablo on Dec 4, 2020 12:30:57 GMT -5
Ravens have had a few good TEs in the 2010s. Hurst was there for a season, along with Mark Andrews, and Nick Boyle and Crockett Gilmore were solid while Pitta was there.
