Wild Card Weekend

[Silverdude2167]

The amazing part is that the Steelers won 10 games.

Looking at their schedule it was pretty easy and they caught a few hard games are the right time.

After Burrow was hurt and Balt week 18.

Beating Balt week 5 was a good win. But yeah they are what you kinda don't want to be. A meh team that isn't going to get past the first round most seasons currently.

Romo's rooting interest is hard to divine

 

[Dogman]

Is Pickens healthy enough to play?

 

[jcd0805]

Tomlin getting 10 wins outta this group is impressive.

I mean the last win was against the Ravens backups, I get it counts but that game never mattered to the Ravebs.

 

[DJnVa]

There's a whistle Tony. Jesus. Calm down.

 

[speedracer]

After each of Buffalo's touchdowns, Pittsburgh defensive backs have been having the classic "I thought YOU had him" conversation.

was looking for an excuse to post this

Kinda ironic to see an older obese man gorging himself in a commercial for an insurance company.

It would be something if life insurance isn’t mentioned in any of the commercials with Reid.

Romo needs to be stopped. I know SoSH is well above average for fan intelligence, but people HAVE to be over him by now, right?

 

[natpastime162]

I mean the last win was against the Ravens backups, I get it counts but that game never mattered to the Ravebs.

Tomlin getting 9 wins outta this group is still impressive

 

[mauf]

Tomlin getting 10 wins outta this group is impressive.

Yup.

They face a choice with Kenny Pickett this offseason similar to the one the Pats faced with Mac Jones a year ago — deep down, they know he isn’t the answer, but between a feeling they’ve not done right by him coaching-wise and a dearth of attractive alternatives, they’ll probably run him back and see what happens.

 

[joe dokes]

Good old Dead outro ("Rain and Snow..) music on the outro.

 

[natpastime162]

Is Pickens healthy enough to play?

I can’t tell from the comments coming from the Steelers if he isn’t 100% or if they weren’t happy with his play pre-injury.

 

[joe dokes]

Yes. (I like to think i spotted his useless overratedness before others).

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Neither the word “super” nor the phrase “wild card” is ownable. I don’t think combining the two threatens the NFL’s “Super Bowl” mark. (Which itself is a descriptive mark, hence the aggressive policing.)

The fact that Super Bowl needs secondary meaning to be protectable is why you need to be careful when using super for other football. I mean, Super Bowl is one of the most famous marks in the world and is not going to lose secondary meaning in our lifetimes.

But using “super” in another NFL playoff round could definitely impact the NFL’s ability to protect Super Bowl. For example if the XFL maybe wanted to call its championship the Super Cup. The NFL likely would claim likelihood of confusion, which is undermined by them using super in the wild card context.

 

[Nator]

A soul destroying tipped ball pick 6 is happening any minute now.

 

[natpastime162]

Yes. (I like to think i spotted his useless overratedness before others).

My recollection is that peak Romo was immediately after retirement and he’s gotten progressively worse since.

 

[cshea]

Steelers need to throw on 1st down

 

[boca]

These officials man fucking hell

 

[loshjott]

David Patten?

 

[8slim]

Bills ball.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Nice pass by Brickmason, but yet another fumble.

 

[natpastime162]

A soul destroying tipped ball pick 6 is happening any minute now.

You were close

 

[8slim]

These officials man fucking hell

That’s a tough one and what replay was made for.

 

[Catcher Block]

This is unbelievable. Just call it a fumble so it can be auto-reviewed.

 

[canderson]

That never went out of bounds I don’t think or was touched when a player was out.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

The fuck is happening on this play

 

[glennhoffmania]

What the fuck? They're so bad the only logical conclusion is that they're bought off.

 

[Dogman]

Fumble.

 

[DJnVa]

Steelers=Cowboys

 

[cshea]

Fumble recovered in bounds

 

[natpastime162]

That never went out of bounds I don’t think or was touched when a player was out.

Can the player slide out of bounds as they get possession?

 

[8slim]

That’s clearly a recovery.

 

[Cellar-Door]

What a play, QB almost airmails the wide open guy who then fumbles....

Might get lucky I think that hit Freiermuth

 

[Ed Hillel]

Bills ball

 

[Dogman]

Just go out of bounds on those. WTF.

 

[MuppetAsteriskTalk]

Bills ball imo

 

[Zedia]

Hit him in the face when he was OB?

 

[cornwalls@6]

Fumble recovered in bounds

Agree. That should be Bills ball.

 

[glennhoffmania]

Can the player slide out of bounds as they get possession?

As long as he has possession while in bounds first.

 

[glennhoffmania]

Just awful. Awful.

 

[joe dokes]

My recollection is that peak Romo was immediately after retirement and he’s gotten progressively worse since.

Bingo. And he seems inacapable now of actually analyzing what just happened. He just predicts.

Reverse Patten play here on the helmet.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Romo trying to figure out this call is cruel. His brain is exploding.

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

These refs were paid in Primanti Bros. sandwiches to ignore any Pitt turnovers.

 

[8slim]

LOL. Looked like that ball hit a Bills player, not Firemouth.

 

[McBride11]

That’s Buff ball

edit - horrible call

 

[Dewey's 'stache]

Good thing there is replay to clean up all these. I just don’t recall pre-replay that there were this many blown calls (whether or not this was specifically blown)

 

[Catcher Block]

So now Buffalo has no more challenges.

 

[Van Everyman]

Couldn’t see definitively that the ball didn’t touch his helmet.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Buffalo out of challenges weeee

 

[cshea]

Sneaky call here. If they don’t overturn Bills are out of challenges

 

[glennhoffmania]

Can someone explain how that was out of bounds?

 

[Ed Hillel]

Uhhhh
