The Good, The Bad & The Ugly - Week 7 - Bye Week

THE GOOD:
The Steelers have time to allow several players to get healthy (or at least healthy enough to play successfully)
Teams with a worse record that the Steelers (2-4) are:
The Bengals lost 0-7
The Dolphins lost 0-6
The Falcons lost 1-6
The Redskins lost 1-6
The Giants lost 2-5
The Chargers lost 2-5
The Broncos lost (Thur) 2-5
The New York Jets 1-4 play tomorrow against the Patriots
Teams with the same record as the Steelers (2-4) are:
The Browns 2-4
The Buccaneers 2-4
The Steelers have an opportunity to finish ahead of a number of teams after losing Ben.
The Steelers host the Dolphins the Monday Night - next week

THE BAD:
The Ravens defeated the Seahawks (see Ugly) and increased their AFCN lead
The Ravens have their bye week next week and then host the Patriots (who haven't had their bye yet)

THE UGLY:
The Seahawks play today - especially Russell Wilson

 

This is actually a bad as it would have been better for the Steelers if the Jags had lost and the Bengals won.

 

Balt winning at Seattle yesterday was not good (obviously)

Let’s say from this point Balt plays just below average and goes 4-5 for the remainder of season, that means our beloveds have to go 7-3 just to match their record and depending who each beat may still not be enough to win division.

 

Ugly: Anthony Chickillo getting arrested for simple assault. Steelers told him not to report to practice today

 

Uglier, we cut Skipper to keep his sorry ass

 

NE’s 7-0 record is against teams with a combined 12-32 record. And the schedule won’t get much harder. Looks like another 14-2 (at least) season for Bellichick’s crew. Toughest games will be at Balt & home vs Dallas. Other games that could be close but I don’t see them losing is Clev, at Hou, at Phil, KC, & Buffalo.

 

Skipper is a available, the giants cut him. We need to cut Moncrief and Chikilo

 

He didn't play much for the Giants but I think the Steelers would and could use him. Hope they grab him.

THE UGLY:
The Seahawks play today - especially Russell Wilson I wish this were true but I think not. I think that defense came to play and did .because they could, as a unit.. between their defense improving weekly and the reincarnation of Randell Cunningham on steroids ... The Ravens are for real. I felt they won that game by controlling Wilson.

edit: dumb ass of the day should have looked in here first before new topic on Tuzar ...

 

I haven’t seen it or noticed it but apparently Chikilo brings high value to ST. Not sure what the Steelers think of Tuzar’s ST abilities but the fact that he barely played on a putrid D is a bit concerning. Maybe he wasn’t grasping their scheme. Also the NYG coaching is pathetic so who knows exactly what the issue was with his playing time.

 

The giants play a 4-3 and he looked good in our 3-4.

 

Against scrubs mostly. Still he actually has multiple pass rushing moves. I do hope he gets brought back though
