I mean, the Steelers have had few losing seasons and have generally been a stable, competetive franchise since Chuck Noll arrived. But Steeler fans just love their team and Pats fans only love them when they are good?
Pittsburgh fans feel differently about the Steelers than they do about the Pirates or Penguins. And they felt that way back when the Steelers were the Cubs of professional football.

Boston fans feel that way about the Red Sox and the Bruins. The Celtics, not so much. Time will tell if the Pats have moved from the latter camp to the former. If they have, you make a good about Kraft deserving a big chunk of credit for that (assuming you're willing to forgive the Hartford gambit).

So on the ESPN countdown set the ex Michigan DB predicts that an ex Ohio state QB will have 1800 receiving yards this year.

Weird

I thought Eddie Lacy was supposed to be slimmer this year? Guy looks like he spent the offseason living at Golden Corral.

Good looking TD throw by Wentz.

I know it's obvious, but it's really the only option.
Dude I almost got the GameDay Pass until I noticed it said the games weren't live. I'll pick up the NHL.tv package in a month as well so I can pull off the triple crown. Can you tell how single I am?

Well, I the Jets started too good for my liking (3 and out on D and a ten play 79 td drive for a td)

It's all down hill from here

I'm shocked the NFL isn't flagging all these hits on defenseless receivers after Thursday night. A few good pops already, none called.

No points for Jets despite two first downs inside the 10. Big momentum swing in Cincy's favor.

Alright, Fitz squandered a little and Cincy got lucky with a no call hit on defenseless receiver and then FG gets blocked. Now THIS is a game I understand

What was that? 7 downs inside the 10 for the Jets and they come out with a blocked FG?

Nice job by Nantz with the jinx.

Jaguars O-Line absolutely punishing the Packers front seven in the Red Zone. Seems significant, on both sides.

Other than greed at both the local affiliate
level and NFL is there a reason a second game per network isn't on CBSSN and FS?

Wow, taking that penalty and forcing 3rd-and-24 turns out to be an inspired decision.

I think you answered it

Small issue of the $12.5 billion that DirecTV paid the NFL for Sunday ticket, plus local affiliates, plus the ability to sell Red Zone.

So yes, greed, money money money.
