    Oh, Rudolph was pretty bad. He made one excellent throw, the touchdown to Smith-Schuster. Most of the time, he looked tentative and he was inaccurate high. He needs a clean pocket to throw. That is a huge change from Roethlisberger.

    I do love what I saw of Fitzpatrick, but the Steelers were kidding themselves when they thought he might help them salvage this season.

    Jesus, man, they've lost the last two games by 6 points total and you're all in that they're gonna go winless or something. I'm not joking or some pollyanna, but they can easily still win the division bc A) it's that bad, b) they have yet to play a division game, c) They have a soft schedule.

    I agree with CD's premise based on A) alone. There is some bad football being played in the North.

    What I saw from the Steelers was a tough team that never quit. BTW damn the Terrible Towels travel well.

    Let's not forget that his days at UCLA were, um, also mediocre at best.

    He's a west coast version of Ryan Tannehill.

    The Terrible Towels always travel well. The Steelers have some pieces, but that offense is really bad right now. The offensive line has to get a lot better. They aren't even playing close to the level of last season.

    I don't think they will be winless, but 6-10 or even a little worse is a realistic possibility.

    I have made peace with backdoor covers (or losses) in football but have all but retired from betting basketball with the end-game shenanigans and no-lead-is-safe play.

    Bengals, Bengals, Dolphins, Jets, Cardinals, Browns, Browns. That's 7 wins right there. Bills, Chargers and Colts are also realistic wins.

    I’m sure they’ll go 7-0 in those games. I imagine those teams are counting playing the Steelers as a win as well.

    Then they're idiots. The Steelers haven't been under .500 for a season since 2003.
