Analytics: Exploring Aggressiveness On Third Down Passing Situations

One thing is for certain. Teams (especially playoff contenders) will take it more seriously going forward - maybe even implementing a bubble. Problem for the Steelers is we have a few games against opponents who have no incentive to do anything different. Washington Football Team, I’m looking at you.

They might be leading their division a week from now lol..
 
Pernell Mcphee, come on down.
 
Total BS if this becomes our week #18 matchup IF we don’t get the bye after.

Yeah because only democrats are taking it seriously. What about all of those "mostly" peaceful protests going on? In the end, there are probably just as many democrats as republicans that aren't taking it serious.

The stats would say otherwise, but you are correct, there are outliers in every group.

they know what they are to do and not do. they know they need to practice social distancing, masks, etc. the NFL has reiterated that time and again.

look at the NBA, NHL and MLB. The did bubbles, but the players also kept to themselves.
Maybe the NFL needs to look into bubbles?

and outlaw the wr bubble screen

Exactly this... our team is mostly mature vets.... though i am waiting breathlessly for the yinzer meltdown when one of the wideouts spreads it to the rest of tge crew during an inane td celebration.... lol....

Seriously though.... i want them to play this game as scheduled because as cope says, The ten days off then the WTFs is tge absolutely best time to lose guys.... waiting till Sunday potentially drags some stuff into the Bills week... That is a far more important game... postponing it altogether means losing any hope of the bye

Leading that division isn’t a badge of honor... its like being the smartest Browns fan, or the bengal with the cleanest rap sheet....

I get that but they’ll be playing to make the playoffs.

Sure but losing the game barely matters... if that was the only game we lost, and we won every other game, we still are assured the top seed

Its by far the most losable game on the schedule... plus their only good wr is banged up now...

Depends as tiebreakers would be factored in if the Chiefs also only lost one game.

I'd say that's a reach. The majority of the organizations are handling it pretty well including Jerra down in Dallas and we know where he falls.

I was going to make a disparaging remark about dino's mother, but then realized it was said tongue in cheek, or something in cheek.

Its an nfc game.. the only tiebreaker cross conference gams affect are common games from division foes... so it won’t matter at all for KC.... we’d have one more afc win so they’ll lose that tiebreaker

This makes the most sense. however, the contact should put a boatload of players out. Since they have as yet not been named, I would assume they are not going to be available Sunday a syou need 5 days to clear. Worst case scenario for Steelers would be Stains, Ravens last two weeks, but I think that is what will happen.

i think you're fulla ****.
 
I think that those who think the game should be postponed due to them NOT being at full stregnth and don't want an *astric* along side the undefeated season are a little ahead of themselves.

FIRST...... There are still 6 games left in the season and some tough competition to play. We can't control either teams dicipline / exposure / immunity / or things of that nature. More than likely Baltimore didn't follow protocol and get what they deserve. Because Coach Tomlin is ahead of the game in isolation & sickness WE should not be punished because we take care to take care. We can't control who is hurt or sick when we play opposing team. **** the rats and their team full stregnth, should have been more serious as to season outcome.

SECONDLY... *astric*, how ******* stupid worrying about an *astric* because no-one gives way a ****. How high of standard are the cheating ******** CHEATRIOTS held to, N-O-N-E . Why should the STEELERS be worried about something totally out of their control and NO, NO *astric* will be held next to anything STEELERS accomplish, under maned by them or forfeited game.

Lastly....If this game is postponed there is a very good possibility they play on what would have been a "BYE" week should the STEELERS secure HOMEFIELD advantage #1 seed. Think about that for a moment.........



**** the Baltimore Ravens and what they did / do / stand for.






Salute the nation

I humbly apologize, my comment was meant as a joke and not meant to offend, assuming that you actually were offended by what I didn't say.

It’s time for this. Team rent an entire hotel near facility. Live there for the next 8 weeks. Let close family in, nobody leaves or enters.
 
I will make a point, if this game is postponned, there is very little chance it would get moved to a different week. It's a Thursday game which means they have 3 days to Sunday, 4 to Mon, and 5 to Tuesday, which the league is willing to play. If they did that, they'd have to postpone the following Thu game to Sunday since the Ravens play in that one as well. Still much easier than adding a week to the season at this point.

Wait, you accept his apology, then insult him, then thank him.

Am I missing some sarcasm here?
