It was only what? 4-5 years ago? That he, Antonio Brown, and Roethlisberger were one the most potent offensive combinations in the league. AB stood a decent shot of not only going to the hall, but passing Jerry Rice in a lot of key metrics

Bell’s success was s little odd, though. It had more to do with the way his game meshed with our O-Line at the time. His stuttering - delayed style didn’t work with other lines, and more traditional cut and run backs didn’t do well with our line because the holes weren’t there yet. It really is a shame what happened with that team at that time. They should have and could have done so much better. I blame Tomlin.

@lufins-dad Think about this possibility...............Rodgers to the Steelers?

Bell is not the back that Fournette is. Not at this point in time.

Brown is a head case.

Midnight has tolled for Big Ben.

And in other news...

There's a hot rumor that Sean Payton may be retiring.

Jimmy G is the more likely of the two QB's from last night to land with the Steelers. https://www.profootballnetwork.com/jimmy-garoppolo-trade-candidates-steelers-broncos-panthers-washington-2022-offseason/

I think the Steelers will...and should...go for new blood. They're going into a major rebuild on offense anyway. Why waste salary cap room? Rudolph and Haskins can get them through and bring a new young QB along.

I think that would be their plan since they put the RFA tag on Haskins. He's still very young and they both know the program.

Pickett would be a popular choice. I've never seen him play.

Pickett is a similar QB to Mac Jones. I think he would do okay in Pittsburgh.

[Mik]

Looks like activating Fournette was a good idea.

[Jolly]

Not good enough.

[LuFins Dad]

Will Rogers, Brady, and Roethlisberger all walk away at the same time?

They should have eaten up more clock and just gotten the first down.

Holy crap… What a weekend of Football,

[Mik]

13 seconds. 13.

Unreal.

[Jolly]

Bills-Chiefs may be one of the best play-off games I've ever seen.

[Mik]

I can’t think of a better one.

[LuFins Dad]

Bills mistake was kicking it into the endzone. Make them field the ball and take 8 seconds off the clock.

[LuFins Dad]

4 games, and 15 points total between the winners and losers, and all 15 came on the last play of the game…
