I won't watch the game since I'm going to be attending a Thanksgiving dinner with family who could care less about football, but even if I did have the opportunity to watch, I wouldn't. This is going to be a massacre of epic proportions. Dallas is going to beat us like we stole something. I see no scenario where we keep it within 2TD's. I just hope it doesn't end up being a score similar to 2 years ago in Dallas where Allen & Payne fought on national television on Sunday Night Football when the eventual score ended up being 56-14. Howell gets sacked at least 6 times, and Dak throws for at least 400 Yards and 4-5TD's. CeeDee Lamb will have over 200 yards receiving, and Brandin Cooks will have over 100 Yards receiving. We will score a couple of times in the 4th Quarter, when the Dallas backups are in the game to avoid going scoreless. Dallas will do what it does best the last few years, beat up on a terrible team at home. This team right now is the very definition of a terrible team: Commanders 14 Cowboys 48 Footnote, we will officially be on Ron watch after this game. I expect to hear an announcement of Ron & JDR's firing either on Thursday night or Friday morning. Ron & JDR will finally show how incompetent and clueless they are to a national audience who hasn't seen us play until this Thursday. It will hammer home the fact that Ron & clueless Jack are amateurs who don't deserve to coach pee-wee football, much less an NFL team to the 40+ million people tuning in to watch this trainwreck of a team. I'm ecstatic about Ron finally getting what's coming to him after Thursday. The sun will shine a bit brighter on Friday morning once he is finally fired. To hell with Ron Rivera and Jack Del Rio.

Pickett is abysmal. My brother is a Steelers fan, so I've watched my fair share of Steelers games this year, and he absolutely blows. His last game he went 15/28 for 108 yards. He only has 2TD passes since October 1st. That is putrid. I am surprised by how ineffective Harris is as a runner. I thought that he would tear the league up like Gibbs is currently doing for Detroit. It's been a struggle for Harris, and now their backup running back Warren is looking better than Harris so far this year.

Howell has definitely earned the right to start next year, and he should be given every opportunity to by the new coaching staff. Unless we somehow end up at #1 or #2 in the draft, I don't see us getting a QB in the 1st round. If we play our cards right, we could have a Top 5 pick for the 2024 draft. If that's the case, this opens up a whole new set of possibilities to either acquire a legit blue chip prospect, or trade down and acquire significant draft capital. I've been thinking of our needs, and if we have # 4 or # 5, we should explore the possibility of drafting a legit WR or a TE in Marvin Harrison Jr, or Brock Bowers. I haven't been that enthralled with our WR group this year, and I feel like we need an absolute #1 WR like MHJR to shoot our offense into the stratosphere. I love TMac, but I think it's about time we start thinking of getting him a legit big WR that can compliment him. I like Dotson too, but I just think we need another big time WR to stretch our passing game. Same with Brock Bowers. I think having a bonified stud at WR or TE will go a long way towards Howell's progression into a Top 10 QB moving forward. I know that we have to draft OL (probably a couple of OL), but we can also take advantage of our $90 million in cap space and sign top tier OL too. This could be a draft that shakes out in our favor, once we get a quality GM and FO.

Yes, the Steelers record probably has something to do with why they made the incredibly rare move to fire a coach in season, but I still think that a team like the Steelers making this move should be eye opening to everyone league wide. Since it’s such a rare occurrence, I can’t buy into the “keep Ron and the coaching staff until the end of the season” thought process. This abomination can’t continue to happen. We need to set the standard to the players and the staff that this kind of football is unacceptable. There ought to be consequences for this disastrous season.

LOL, right?? The freaking STEELERS, who never fire coaches in our lifetimes just did the impossible. What’s our friggin excuse?? Harris HAS to can somebody (hopefully everybody not named EB) on Friday morning. We can’t continue to have Paddleboat Ron & Clueless Hack employed by this team after our extermination at the hands of Dallas on Thanksgiving.

Steelers just fired Matt Canada. He’s been one of the most scrutinized coaches in the league, for how terrible the Steeler’s O has performed. If the Steelers who NEVER fire coaches in season in their history do it, there’s no reason why we can’t either. This might be the first time since the 1960’s that the Steelers have fired a coach in season. That’s incredible when you think about it. NO REASON whatsoever to not can Del Rio and/or Rivera after Friday, especially when we’re looking at a beat down of epic proportions on Thanksgiving @Dallas. I just checked, and it says that the last time a Steelers coach (head coach or assistant) was fired in season was 1968. 55 years since it happened. That’s absolutely incredible.

Well, he is working with a rookie QB, who was drafted in the 5th round, and the worst OL in the league and a below average TE room. When you compare what EB has to work with, compared to what that dingleberry Jack Del-Dust Up had to work with until the trade deadline, it isn’t even close. EB’s side of the ball is averaging 20+ per game, with an abhorrent OL and an unknown at QB before the season started. EB deserves his share of the blame for how we looked against the Giants, and also against the Bills, but he’s had a better showing on his side of the ball BY FAR than Dust Up has.

This is the worst coaching staff in the NFL hands down. I don't think there's a staff that comes close to be honest with you. The only other coach that has this much suck in him right now is Brandon Staley. Sure enough, he's getting headlines and calls to be fired this morning. If any of you watched the Chargers-Packers game yesterday, you'd know why. He's literally wasting away Justin Herbert's career. They gave up 23 points to Jordan Love and the Packers yesterday. You should see Staley's press conference after the game yesterday, and his testy exchange with the media. He's a dead man walking. He might be fired before Ron & Co. as sad as that is to believe. Staley is getting the headlines that Ron & JDR should be getting this morning. Ron gets to skate again due to lack of attention from the national media. I think that will change on Thursday though. Ron and JDR are going to get a chance to show the entire nation just how incompetent they are on a national scale, when we get dominated and abused by the Cowboys on Thanksgiving in front of 40 Million people,

It has to be. No staff is this archaic and this out of touch with today's NFL. I'm going to give EB a pass, because he's new to the playcaller world, but Ron & JDR are dinosaurs that are stuck in the past. I think if we had better coaching, this could be a wild card team, but our coaching holds us back so much.

We have two chances to can Ron and this coaching staff: Black Friday or the Bye Week. Since we’re most likely getting boat raced on Thanksgiving, I elect to fire Paddleboat and Dust Up on Friday morning. That gives you 9 days, until the next game @ home Vs. Miami (which might be a bigger beat down than the beat down we’ll get against the Cowboys). You give EB 9 days to get his affairs in order, and get the team prepared. He’ll have to be a tank commander for the rest of the season. No more clueless paddleboat or “special” Jack twiddling their thumbs up their noses on the sidelines.

That’s the beauty of it, you can still lose all of those games w/o Rivera there to stand stone-faced on the sidelines with his stupid crossed arms. We’re not beating the Rams or Jets, so you can wipe that thought from your head. We don’t have the heart or the OL to withstand both of those DL’s. I’d fire Rivera’s ass & Dust Up’s ass on Friday morning at the latest. Stop being patient for no reason. Paddleboat & Dust Up don’t deserve to stay on past next week. They haven’t earned it.

These are our next six games after today: @Cowboys Dolphins @Rams @Jets 49ers Cowboys LMAO @ any coach, much less an interim HC in Bieniemy winning a single game in that final stretch. You don’t have to worry about “dumb fans” getting riled up about some possible fluke victories by a possible interim HC in Bieniemy, because it simply won’t happen. You can fire Ron & JDR on Thursday night or Friday morning after our upcoming blowout loss to Dallas, and not miss much of a beat.

What does it matter if we fire everyone today, versus waiting 6 or 7 weeks? The losing will continue either way, and no one will fail Harris for making changes whether it be now or in early January. This coaching staff and FO don’t deserve any benefit of the doubt at this point. This is the worst coaching staff in the league hands down, and an example has to be made here, before complacency starts becoming old. Somebody has to be fired here, with the most logical choice being Del Rio. I don’t give a damn that we have no adequate assistants on defense to replace him, they can’t be any worse than Dust Up has been the entire season. This is a historically awful defense, and somebody has to pay for this disaster. If it’s Dust Up, Paddleboat Rivera or all of them, an example has to be made NOW. We already know we’re keeping Howell for next year. I don’t need 6-7 more weeks to evaluate anyone else besides Howell. Everyone else besides #14, 17, 8, 93, 94 and #1 should be expendable. There is no other reason for keeping the coaching staff until the end. Bieniemy can be interim until early January.

The Giants moved the ball up and down the field at will in the 1st half against this team. If we were playing a halfway decent opponent, that would've been a 28-0 or 35-0 halftime score. The defense was about as pathetic as it gets in that 1st half. They get a little bit of credit for what they did in the 2nd half, but overall they were a C- or D+ at best. They made Tyrod Taylor look like Lamar Jackson for 2 Quarters, and he probably had his best day passing the ball in several years. The whole D this year has been unacceptable and unforgivable. Just a horrific season, and one that is entering the days of Haslett or Barry, where we wake up on game day, wishing to just hold opponents below 30, and not have opposing QB's or WR's have season high or career high days against us. Isn't it hilarious that the one time we finally have an offense that looks like it can score 20-24 points per game consistently, our supposedly "strong" defense reverts back to the Haslett/Barry days, and we give up 30 PPG? It never ends with this team.

You think this defense is capable of holding a lead, much less a blowout?? This will be the typical game (extremely frustrating), which is back and forth until late in the game, when DeVito throws a pick or fumbles the ball. It will probably be a one score game. I would be shocked if we won by 10-14 points or more. This defense will let DeVito have over 200 Yards passing and at least 2TD's minimum. It's what we do best. Keep in mind, that this team in 4 years under Rivera has only won a game by 20+ or more exactly 2 times (both times strangely enough to the Cowboys). We're incapable of blowing teams out, or even winning games by 14+ or more. We're just not built that way.

This is going to be quite possibly the worst opponent we face all year, and one of the worst Giants teams in recent memory. With all of that said, this will STILL be a close game, but I have Washington eeking out a win. Tommy DeVito will have his best day all year throwing the ball, and Saquon Barkley should do well against us (like he always does). I think we can throw the ball on the Giants, so if we get a lead early, we should be able to hold on, but the defense will definitely make it hard for us to feel confident that we can convincingly. N.Y. Giants 21 Washington 28 I think DeVito will have the ball with a chance to win the game, but they go 4 & Out around the WSH 30, and we collectively exhale and unclench our assholes.

Dallas is a juggernaut at home. I actually think that if the game were played in Landover, we would definitely have a chance to win. Dallas is a BEAST at home lately. They are the kind of team that demolishes bad teams (especially at home). We're going to run into a Buzzsaw on Turkey Day, and we'll probably be too overwhelmed to match Dallas point for point. Micah Parsons, DeMarcus Lawrence and that defense play a LOT better at home than they do on the road. I actually think that Howell might get sacked 5+ times, and that the Dallas defense will tee off on this OL and Howell. Dallas against bad teams is a scary sight. We definitely qualify as a bad team.

It doesn't matter how Howell performs that game. We might score 30 and STILL lose by 15-20. Have you watched this defense this year?? Dallas is going to ABUSE this defense, and we'll have a very difficult time trying to keep up. Howell might very well have his best game of the season numbers wise, but it's not going to matter, if we're down late in the game 49-30. I don't care about wins at this point, since the competitive part of our season ended yesterday (it really ended against the Giants, but yesterday was the absolute confirmation). At this point, I'm only watching to see Howell's development. That's the only important thing going forward until Black Monday.

We're NOT beating Dallas on Turkey Day. Dallas actually has a quality NFL offense (especially at home where they are unbeatable). The only way we're winning that game, is if Howell has the game of his life with 400+ yards, 4TD's or more in a shootout. Lord knows we can't stop ANY offense, let alone a Dak-led offense at home. We're probably going to lose by 2-3 scores, and I might be conservative with that prediction.

You’re not the only one who was thinking this. I was hoping we’d score with no time left for the Seahawks to try to march down the field for a GW FG. I was silently disappointed that we scored with :52 left. I knew that Seattle had enough time (along with timeouts) to get to FG range and win the game.

We don’t have a shot a Caleb or Drake. To me, those are the only two QB’s that are as close to can’t miss prospects as there are in the upcoming NFL draft. There’s no other QB I’d draft after those two, if Howell finishes the year as a clearly defined starting QB, or even a top 10-15 QB numbers wise. Penix, Nix, McCarthy and the other potential 1st Round QB’s aren’t going to be as good as Howell is right now. In the case of Penix Jr. and Nix, they are already coming in older than Howell is right now. I think our best course of action this offseason is to draft OL and/or TE early and often, and surround Howell with a capable line, so that he can excel even further moving forward. We’re not going to be in line for Caleb Williams or Drake Maye, so we aren’t going to be able to draft any franchise level QB’s as good as those two are.

It’s not just DK. Tyler Lockett & JSN are very good, very capable WR’s. Lockett is probably the most underrated, under-appreciated WR in the NFL. Our secondary is going to have a REALLY bad day at the office, if we can’t get Geno outside of the pocket. I agree that our defense might give up 40+, if we’re not absolutely stout today. We’re going to have to score, and score quite often for us to have a chance in this game.

When you have a defense like this team’s defense, ANY OFFENSE is high powered, if the opposing QB is competent. We’re EXTREMELY lucky that we faced Mac Jones last week, and not a competent (or God forbid a great QB). Any other QB not named Mac Jones (or Desmond Ridder) would’ve easily handled our defense last week and won. Seattle has some great WR’s and a pretty good RB in KW III. If Geno is comfortable in the pocket on Sunday, he’s going to torch us with ease. We need to probably score 30+ if that’s the case.

I wouldn't be so sure regarding that Luck take. Luck was outstanding his rookie season, when you look at the Colts record that year (11-5). Luck's 6 seasons were the best of any QB since Dan Marino. He had three 30TD seasons, including one 40 TD season in 2014. He was definitely on his way to breaking passing records at his trajectory, but the Colts did him no favors by giving him a horrific OL to play with his first 5 years. The OL was actually getting better right before Luck retired in 2018, so we'll never know if he would've stayed in the NFL had he been more patient. The only QB's that have matched or will exceed Luck's first few seasons statistically are Justin Herbert and Joe Burrow. As a note, the Colts had an 11-5 record in each of Luck's first 3 seasons. They also went to the playoffs for all but 2 seasons that Luck played in Indy, including an AFC Championship. Luck was a phenomenal QB, that had a chance to be an all-time great had he played with a better OL.

Bryce Young is just too small for the NFL QB position in today's game. He can't see over defenders, and he doesn't have the physical capabilities to elude the rush from the pocket like the prototypical QB's playing the position today. Young doesn't have a talented squad (or good coaching if we're being honest here) to make up for his deficiencies in size and physicality. To avoid the bust label, he's going to have to get to a team with a loaded roster of fast WR's and a dominant OL (like he had at Alabama). He's the kind of QB that can become average to above average, if his team's talent is significantly better than the opposing team. If Young is the QB of an average squad or worse, he's not going to be long for this league, because he's not good enough to overcome size and strength. If Carolina's FO doesn't get smart and load up on weapons and OL in the next 2 seasons. Young will definitely become a bust, because he can't overcome being on an average or bad team. Since Carolina gave up a LOT just to trade up to get Young, he's going to be pushed hard by the NFL community and the media to perform up to a standard that I'm not sure he can get to. Not having a 1st/2nd next draft and a 2nd in 2025, is going to force them to go on a spending spree to improve the team.
