    Nah, Ravens will get at least 9 wins.

    You would think, but they've beaten two of the worst teams in the league and struggled against one of them. Not sure they don't have seven more losses in them.

    I'm not going to bet the over on 8 wins for the Ravens, but they have two against a bad Cincy team, a worsening Pittsburgh team and a possible overrated Browns team plus one against the Jets. Losses to Seattle, Rams and New England so they need to find a way to beat Houston, San Fran and/or Buffalo.

    The Browns had 40-some seconds and all three timeouts. It was first down and they were 4-1/2 yards from the tying touchdown. Don't you think they could get 4-1/2 yards in four plays by running the ball? They passed all four times, all four incomplete, except the last, which was intercepted. None were even close.

    Sorry to you Pitt fans but I went to my first game at Levi’s today (unbelievable, prime suite seat on 50!?!) and the Niners rolled the Steelers in the game but gave up 5 stupid TOs; they dominated the Steelers otherwise. Steelers has two really good plays. The Niner DL got pressure w/o blitzing which is huge. Big Ben would have made a difference but only if you get 5 TOs again.

    At least have a back out there to make the Rams not fall into total pass coverage.

    It was like the Browns were cool with running Red Right 88 four different times to see if they could score.

    Both teams had some very sloppy moments, but you have a point. Whenever the 49ers weren't making stupid mistakes, the Steelers couldn't stop them. The 49ers lost the ball twice on fumbled snaps. That's inexcusable. The other three were decent plays by the Steelers. Both interceptions went off receivers' hands, but they were throws that were off due to pressure. The other fumble was a hell of a play by Fitzpatrick.

    I finally got a good look at the defensive holding call at the end of the game. It was absolutely correct. Kittle did run into Barron, but Barron held him after the collision. It was blatant. Barron has been a horrible pick-up. He was supposed to give them an inside linebacker with speed who could help in coverage, but he has failed miserably in that role. The Patriots exposed him and he couldn't handle the fullback or the tight end in coverage yesterday.

    The coach calling plays ran a draw play on fourth-and-9. He also failed to challenge an obvious pass interference non-call, which would have saved them a down earlier in that series. His play-calling through three games has been abysmal. Mayfield also has taken some giant steps backward.

    The Ravens lose by five on the road to one of the three best teams in the league and all of a sudden they're an 8-8 team? Seems like quite the rush to judgment to me.

    The final score wasn't quite reflective of how that game went.

    The final score is always reflective of how the game went. That's why they have a point spread. Just as accurate to say the Chiefs defense was unable to keep a big lead stress-free down the stretch because Jackson made plays.

  12. The refs made the right call.
    W/O that call Niners are kicking a game-tying FG and Steelers get ball back with at least 3 minutes on the clock. Until the penalty.
    Connor's fumble hurt. Bad. That's his second really costly turnover.
    The defense was whipped as well. Steelers scored to quick (2 plays 84 yards) and defense was back on field for another long drive. It was great they managed to stop SF and, seemingly, hold them to a FG. Until the penalty.
