The quotes coming from the Steelers players today are not kind to Harrison. Saying he was a lousy teammate and demanded to be cut. Wouldn’t be surprised if there was a gentlemen’s agreement that we would cut him as long as he didn’t go to Boston.

And now more stories coming out what a selfish player Harrison was. Never came out of the locker room at Indy. Left early in the Cincy game. All because he wasn’t playing because he wasn’t earning his spot.

His legacy is tarnished and could be dead depending what happens in the next few weeks.

Anyone else think it's kind of foolish if they sit the starters?
The chances of the Jets beating the Pats are likely .000000001%.
Still, if they pull off a miracle, you throw away your best chance at getting home field throughout.

I agree with the coaching staff to sit key starters. I would rather play the Pats in NE than have key starters injured, which seems to happen regularly to the Steelers in the playoffs.

OTOH, Since the Steeler game and the Patriot game both start at 1PM, Tomlin will be able to keep an eye on the scoreboard. If things look promising in NE, I suspect he will insert the starters.

Landry Jones and Bryant should be enough offense to beat the Browns at home.

I'd rest everyone possible. Their best chance is to have someone else take out the Pats anyway.

Haley doesn’t want Hue to jump into Lake Erie, or on Lake Erie

Not sure Peppers wants to start giving out unnecessary hits on a QB who’s just laying there after he tripped the way their offense is playing and unable to protect their own QB.

NE 7-3 over the Jets at the half.

Edited: The site I looked at said it was 7-3 at half. it updated to 21-3 at half. Beats me.

Todd Haley special, pass behind the line of scrimmage into triple coverage when you need two yards.

Hits like a ton of bricks. Unfortunately, he runs like he's carrying it.

Landry What's-His-Name stinks, stinks, stinks, stinks. Did I say he stinks? He is terrible. Find another back up. I can't stand this bum.

It’s time to draft Ben’s replacement and be done with Jones.

Just out of curiosity, has anyone seen Jesse James break a tackle? Ever?

He's horrible at short yardage calls. I'd rather have third and long.

There are a lot of reasons why the Browns are winless. This was one of them.

Reminds me of an oversized bowling pin, no moves and bites the dust when touched.

We can’t keep juju, Bryant, and AB. If the decision is to trade Bryant, we should look for a top five pick then use that to draft a qb.

Yes. If Jax wins, Pittsburgh plays them in the next round. If Jax loses, Pittsburgh plays the winner of the other game (KC-Tenn).
