    Steelers/9ers… but may switch as it’s lopsided. Loving the 4 game screen in the ticket.

    Was coming here to ask if the Steelers are that bad or is San Fran that good?

    I think SF is really that good. I think Pittsburgh is having an awful game, but are actually considerably better than they've looked.

    1 PM games suck today.

    But my rooting guide.

    Hope Bengals, Ravens and Jaguars all lose for better Play Off seeding for the Jets :)

    Kirk Cousins with 273 yards passing (138 to Justin Jefferson) at the half, and thanks to an interception and two fumbles they're tied 10-10 with Tampa Bay.

    Don't forget rooting for SF over Pittsburgh.

    This is what happens when the first string varsity barely plays together.

    The first few weeks don’t tell the tale.

    Jeff. With Pickett, I don't think they will be ahead of Bengals or Ravens. Doubt Steelers make the playoffs to be honest.

    Exactly D. Sloppy football across the board. We might have to wait until Week 4 to see quality football.

    Joe Burrow is 7 of 18 for 44 yards in the 3rd quarter.

    Which is why these games are so important for good teams, especially if they're playing a lesser opponent - giving away a game you should have won can make all the difference in winning a division, playoff seeding, or even making the playoffs.

    Why does the better team not play up to its potential because of the starters not playing in preseason but the lessor team does even though their starters played the same

    J.K. Dobbins (Ravens RB) feared to have suffered a torn Achilles.

    Sloppy play is a great equalizer.

    You could argue it matters less for the Jets, since they're playing a tough team and could have easily lost anyway. On the other hand, the fact that it's a home game mostly negates that - if the Jets blow a good chance to beat Buffalo because of sloppy play it will definitely hurt.

    Are we saying sloppy play only results because of the lack of starters paying in preseason?

    Bengals look shockingly bad on offense.
