Well that is a huge loss WC game. I have a feeling he won't be the only.

The playoffs are going to be an absolute **** show, players are going to test positive which will affect the outcome of the games.
 
Son of a *****! He tested positive. That means out for the 1st playoff game as well.

Well our chances of winning the game just took a big hit.
 
Im confident in Sutton and Joe has had up and down moments. But they are going to have to protect core corners Sunday.
 
Haden is still easily our best CB and when he's been out, our D has struggled. He isn't what he used to be but he's still by far our best.

That is somewhat debatable. Especially the "by far" comment. Nelson at times gets my nod. I like Haden but let's not pretend he hasn't had his down moments this season.

Nelson has been borderline awful at times, especially early in the season. I'll take Haden. Nelson played better last year.
 
When Haden was out in the second half against Washington and against Buffalo, receivers were running wide open all over the field.

It's a big loss.

That is exactly what i was worried about... that we would have big names get hit for the playoffs... haden is a huge loss
 
So, the current isolation protocol in the real world is 10 days from symptoms onset or sample collection (if no symptoms), so I’m wondering when the test was given.
 
any bets on how big the Rog will make our fine?

Probably today... they tend to retest with a different cycle period to make sure it isn’t a false positive

The thing with those tests is that if you dial up the sensitivity, you blunt the precision... so the initial test errs on the side of caution... it’s feasible that tge second more precise test doesn’t actually show it, but thats a lot rarer now than it was at the start of the season


As a lot of people said... the nfl should have had a built in bye week before the playoffs... because we are about to be in the sweet spot of post holidays detection of the virus... and it could totally get ugly over the next week

He’s been the 2nd most targeted DB, but held QBs to a 76 passer rating and 51% completion , 114 yards after the catch and just 3 TDs.

But 2 INTs is 3rd on team — included a pick 6 that was difference in 2nd Baltimore game & additionally he’s 5th on team in tackles. To put in context: this is by far superior to any other Steelers CB—this season and last season to boot.

It’s also better than both Ravens starting CBs in 2020.

So just pretend that you’re actually ready to debate the topic, I’m taking the “by far” position.

Let’s start off with answering the question: name the only Steelers CB to earn Pro Bowl honors this millennium?
