Steelers Are In The Meat Grinder Now

[toobfreak]

Steelers are the #3 seed in the AFC at 10-3.
The Chiefs are #1.
The Bills are floundering.
The Eagles are #2 in the NFC.

The Steelers already had a grueling 3-game series in only 11 days;

• 1st the Commanders on Nov 10,
• The Ravens a week later,
• then the Browns just 4 days after that.

But now the Steelers have another three games in only TEN days!

• They face the Eagles this Sunday!
• Then they face the Ravens just 6 days later! (a Saturday game).
• Then they have to play the Chiefs just 4 days after that on Christmas Day!

This is insanity. Worse, now the Steelers best WR George Pickens, one of the best deep threats in football, has a hamstring injury.

Am I the only one who thinks the NFL is going too far pushing these players to make more money?

They close out the season playing the Bengals and Joe Burrows, a good team with just a lot of bad luck this year. If the Steelers can just win two of these games to get to 12-5, I would be happy.

17 games season. Gimme a break.

The season was only 14 weeks long when I began watching football.

Now they have games on

• Monday
• Thursday
• (Saturday)
• Sunday

and only three days between games sometimes.

Be careful... if you are passionate about sports and do any research.. Dean F will flood your thread with temper tantrums.

That scheduling is crazy, especially in December.

That scheduling is crazy, especially in December.

Add to that, they are playing all six of their divisional games practically all in a row. They did not see a divisional opponent until Nov. 17.
They played another divisional opponent TWICE in three games.
Steelers have the worst schedule in the NFL this year.

 

[Delldude]

Looked like Ben playing yesterday, Wilson scrambling for his life, O line that sucks, receivers who can't catch passes, play calling that leaves much desired........happy days are still here again.

Once more, we end the year with an older QB who seems to be falling apart, Fields probably moving on.....

Ravens will make short work of the Steeler's.

 

[Delldude]

Here we go!

 

[Delldude]

It's like this:

 

[egp320i]

GP was clearly injured and should not have been playing, a liability
losing 4 going into to the playoffs means you have a 99% chance of losing the first round

the steelers did that

not sure fields is the answer, young and fast but no experience and wilson does but he's aging

they need to find some middle ground

 

[Oddball]

The money grab is totally out of hand...

Back to 16 weeks.

No more BYEs.

No more Thursday games.

Four teams make the playoffs from each conference, only one wild card.
