The edge rush trio of Chase young, Montez Sweat, and Ryan Kerrigan all finished with a grade above 80:

- Ryan Kerrigan: 90.8
- Montez Sweat: 88.8
- Chase Young: 80.7

On Offense

- Alex Smith : 72.8
- Brandon Scherff : 71.5
- Cam Sims : 71.4

I want to see CAM SIMS playing as the starter. He really stepped up and helped turn the second half around. This is the second game where he excelled. I want to see him start at WR #2. He’s earned it!

I want to see STEVE SIMS as the backup. He dropped a key pass, as usual. Dude is a bust! He’s sucking up oxygen that Cam Sims could be using.


Kevin Pierre-Louis had a piss poor play that made me yell at my tv. The WFT did a rare blitz on Roethlisburger and Pierre-Louis had a PERFECT UNBLOCKED shot at the Steelers QB. But he missed the tackle completely. WTF, over?? How do you miss a 38-year old 6’5 QB who has loss a step? Kevin had another play for a loss, but that miss was legendary!

Alex Smith led this team to an awesome come from behind victory against an ELITE TEAM in the NFL. However, the first half showed that this team needs to draft a QB with our FIRST draft pick in 2021. We need a young, fast and accurate QB for this team. The age of the immobile, pocket passer-type QB is over. Draft the best QB still left and let ALEX mentor him as he did Mahommes. Running QB just make it so much harder for teams to defend. We need one!

I didn't see the missed sack, but Big Ben has been sacked 0 times in the last 5 games so implying BB should be an easy target to sack, regardless of how clean the shot was, seems unrealistic to me.

Ha...I got mad as well, but shit man, Big Ben has done this for years. His greatest strength has been his pocket awareness and the ability to fight off tacklers while continuing to look downfield and get the ball out. He might have the best pocket awareness of any QB I’ve ever seen play the game. For as big as he it’s fun to watch.

What was Cole Holcomb grade and the other oline?

That Steelers pass rush is amazing though

Holcomb was 85.9
Bostic - 83
KPL - 73
Curl - 70
Darby - 60
Fuller - 52

Happy we went Logan Thomas over Eric Ebron with TE.

Steelers fans not happy with him.

Makes sense. Holcomb is becoming a big time player for us. KPL had a big game, he looked good.

Folks Kam Curl needs to be on the field over any of our other safeties. He can cover the slot, provide run support and is a good tackler.

Yeah, I was pretty worried when he got hurt. It didn't look good and I didn't expect him to come back with the way he was moving around...then he did... Think he's going to be a good one.

P word is a constant with me


One game at a time, one game at a time. The Redskins in the pre-Rivera era would blow a game like that against the 49ers. We MUST WIN. Also, we’ll be playing against Jason Reed and Williams at OT, who both want payback.

Build on the new players who have stepped up. Teams have seen how to largely silence our best players: MacLaurin and Young, just by double-teaming them. Expect that to happen all season, until clutch players like Thomas and Cam Sims make them pay!!

We have to keep winning to stay up with the Giants or have a hope of a wild card.

Dwayne Haskins as of lately has been doing the right things behind the scene. Rooting for his teammates, especially Smith. I could see Rivera giving him another chance.
