I’m thinking the Bengals will bounce back today with Browning coming off of a full week of practice. Hubbard is back and we should see a good amount of targets on offense with Tee Higgins still out.

I am rooting for Pickett. Hopefully the OC change will spark the offensive playcalling. Getting Pat Freiermuth involved would be a good idea for the Steelers as well. Their 2 main receivers are cancers - both Johnson and Pickens.

It would be good to see Pickett play well. I’m just not sure the new OC has any business getting the job. Maybe he is friends with Tomlin.

I think the RB coach is the OC but the QB coach Mike Sullivan will be the playcaller.

Using the rooney rule to his advantage lmao. But that is a good point- guys NEVER put your race down on any application whether for a job, grad school or college! Just put “prefer not to answer”. My cousin applied for a job at upenn twice he put he was white and predictably got denied but the third time he put prefer not to answer and got the job. Blatant racial discrimination
Anti-whiteism is rampant in Western society.

At some point someone needs to sue.....”We are an equal opportunity employer” isn’t true anymore.

Would be nice to see Charlie Jones get some catches as he came off IR last week but returned kicks only, along with Trenton Irwin and TE Tanner Hudson.

Yes, he only had 1 snap at WR last week Irwin played most of the game at least.

I see Ourlads has Tanner Hudson as the starter now after a few solid starts, although only on the field a third of the time in those games.

I’m not rooting against Browning but I hope the Bengals just tank the rest of the season so they can move up in the draft and get a top o-lineman or maybe even Brock Bowers! Joe needs one of these super athletic tight ends.

The great Maxx Crosby is as tough as they come as being listed as doubtful almost always means won't be playing:

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Raiders EDGE Max Crosby (knee) “fully expects to go” despite being listed as doubtful for Week 12 against the Chiefs. Per Rapoport, the last time a player played through a doubtful tag was in 2020. It’s a stunningly rare occurrence, but Crosby appears to be the exception to the rule. Per Rapoport, he is “pushing to play,” though Rap didn’t confirm that he will be active. We expect his role to be severely limited if he suits up. The Raiders will likely deploy him primarily in obvious pass-rush situations. Crosby has 10.5 sacks and 14 TFLs this year.

Steelers WR corps has been a problem going back to Plaxico Buress. Antonio Brown, Mike Wallace, Santonio Holmes, Chase Claypool, Martravis Bryant, Pickens and Diontae Johnson have all been head cases for Pittsburgh at one time or another.

Correct me if I am wrong @Don Wassall or if I missed anyone.
Good roll call, Ju Ju Smith Schuster definitely belongs on the list as well. The prima donnas enable and encourage others going back to the beginning of the permanent Mike Tomlin regime. And RB Leveon Bell was worse than any of them except for Brown, who may be the biggest idiot/head case in NFL history.

TJ Watt with a strip sack on Browning, he may be a one man wrecking crew today.

Damn looks like Mayfield is down with a leg injury due to a dumb qb sneak call.

Pickett with a couple nice throws to Freiermuth. The Steelers weren't throwing over the middle all season for reasons known only to Tomlin and Matt Canada, so this is a good early sign.

The a-hole Diontae Johnson drops a perfect pass for a TD. But Pickett is the problem

It looks like it was definitely a catch. Too bad Tom and didn’t challenge it. It was a great throw by Pickett.

Glad the Colts are up early. They are one of the Whitest teams this year and Minshew is getting his shot. Leading them to the playoffs would go a long way to giving him shot at a starting role somewhere next year. Pierce with 3 early catches. Some games he only gets 3 targets.

Does this guy really only have 1 touchdown in the last 23 games! Who is he to blame anyone

Payne Durham with a great catch, Mayfield placed the ball just high enough for him to be able to make a play on it.

Bryce Young getting outclassed by Levis.

Bucs aren't awful in terms of White players either. Just rooting for Mayfield because he has been written off/target of a big anti-White hit job by the media and his former team with their racist GM.

Tommy Devito has been a pretty good story. I wrote him off after his disappointing time at Syracuse but he was solid for Illinois last year and as an UDFA looks better than Bryce Young.
