Nothing against Marcus Freeman, who is an outstanding college coach, but the history of NCAA coaches trying ot transition to the NFL makes him a no for me. Sorry, but it does. Not interested.

Now that's a stat.

I am going to fight anyone that suggests John Harbaugh.

The Mike Tomlin era was a huge success overall. But it was time.

I haven't been to all of them, but Madison Square Garden is still the king for me. Any event there. It's nicer post-renovations and the atmosphere is truly unmatched. Even if the team's playing there stink it still feels like a big game every time.

If the Texans offense had played zero snaps and the entire game was just the Steelers offense against the Texans defense the Steelers still would have lost by a full touchdown. Truly incredible. Even more incredible is that is the second time that has happened against Houston.

We need a coaching change just to give us something else to talk about. Everybody is just repeating their same talking points over and over again. I find that more exhausting than the results. Just give me a new topic and somebody new to yell about.

AND IF YOU WANNA SCORE ON OFFENSE. JUST GO AHEAD NOW.

The thing about the 2025 Steelers is I don't think they are as antiquated and outdated as local critics think. They had some good concepts. They just were not good enough using them. In some cases they were terrible at using them.

Now that you mention it.... no.

The guy sitting next to me tonight looked exactly like Chris Barron from the Spin Doctors and was so obnoxiously drunk he kept 1) asking me what just happened and 2) kept screaming "FUCK YOU" at the PA announcements. It was worse than the Steelers offense.

They still got blown out.

Same time and place next year I guess

Houstons defense is great. They still give up touchdowns sometimes. A disgusting offensive performance when the defense not only gave you a chance to win, but fucking put you in position to win.

Get lost Aaron Rodgers. See you in hell Arthur Smith.

How has Pat Freiermuth not been targeted one god damn time.

I think I dislike Jonnu Smith more than any Steeler in the past five years.

Offense looks horrible. They better have another big second half in them. Defense has set them up two times now.

Jonnu Smith tonight caught his one pass for no gain and looked completely lost on the one target to him down field. This dudes a bum. What a freaking bust he's been

Here we go.

There is a buzz in the air.

IS THAT MAC FROM ALWAYS SUNNY?!

The week ahead for the Pittsburgh Penguins. They missed a big opportunity to get some more points this weekend. They need to bounce back this week. Schedule is tough. But they also catch a break or two with it. www.pensburgh.com/analysis/715...

From yesterday: The five NHL players I would have in the MVP discussion at the halfway point. Macklin Celebrini. Moritz Seider. Jason Robertson. And the obvious Nathan MacKinnon and Connor McDavid. adamgretz.substack.com/p/the-five-p...

Just saw the Red Wings are retiring Sergei Fedorov's number tonight, and if you are under the age of ... 35? You probably will not comprehend just how big of a star he was in the NHL in the early-mid 1990s. An absolute force on the sport of hockey.

I was 1,000 percent convinced the Steelers would win a week ago. Mostly because I did not trust the Ravens or Harbaugh against Tomlin. Not as confident here. This is a game they CAN win. But Houston is better than Bal and Ryans is less likely to galaxy brain than Harbaugh was.

Yeah the Chargers offensive line is in shambles and melted down when New England knew they had to pass, but you can't excuse how bad Herbert was independent of that. He was not good at any point in this game. Every playoff game has been a different type of disaster for him.

Colinsworth is furious with the Chargers substituting here. He is not wrong.

Well this one is over.

Justin Herbert needs one hell of a fourth quarter.

Great game for the narratives here. Patriots trying to beat the "didn't play anybody" allegations and Justin Herbert trying to beat the "can't win in the playoffs" allegations. Either way, there will be hot takes to be had.

Two regulation losses to Calgary and Boston and scoring just one goal is a real waste of a weekend and really takes some of the momentum away they had built. Needed to win at least one of these games with Tampa Bay coming up. That is a missed opportunity this weekend.

The Penguins have no idea how to play 6-on-5 situations whether they are using them or defending them.

I wish Karlsson would just take a fucking shot sometimes instead of always looking for a shot pass.

Dan Muse has done an objectively good job this season but then he does something like puts Kevin Hayes on the second line for some reason and it's such an egregiously bad move it makes you question everything.

I can't believe a borderline call went the Eagles way in a game Alan Eck is officiating. Stunning.

It feels like they could play 100 minutes today and not score.

The Penguins have nothing going on offensively today. I thought they at least had some good looks yesterday. They have had maybe two or three today.

Stuart Skinner definitely sold that lol. But when power plays are 5-0 and you are in the crease you do not really get to complain.

The Eagles offense is basically 1) Barkley 2) Fuck it, one of the WR's is down there somewhere and maybe they will catch it 3) Tush push I can see why Eagles fans want to storm the gates every week.

It appears Boston is going to have to take off a skate and try to stab someone with it to get called for a penalty in this game.

Anthony Mantha has been really good but sometimes his decisions with the puck ....

Erin Andrews decided to go with the Cruella de Vil wardrobe today it seems.

There are five players that stand out to me in the NHL's MVP race at the halfway point. Macklin Celebrini. Moritz Seider. Connor McDavid. Nathan MacKinnon. Jason Robertson. I talked about all of them. adamgretz.substack.com/p/the-five-p...

Jacksonville not getting points off of the kickoff fumble was brutal.

Carrying the guy into the end zone is far dumber than the tush push.

This is the perfect Buffalo Bills game. Josh Allen putting his body through hell to try and win, making the plays to do so despite probably needing a body cast, watching as everybody else around him fucks it up, and then him having to go win it himself in the end.

Jacksonville is not running the football anywhere near enough. This is coaching malpractice.

I feel like that's a ball don't lie moment

Well that is a big call
