Steelers: Mason Rudolph had some good things and some bad things. Can't get upset about one game. I'll continue to stay positive for a few more.
- Credit again to the defense. Forced four turnovers in the first half.
- Minkah Fitzpatrick showed why the Steelers gave up a first-round draft pick to take the defender from the Dolphins.
- Our O-line only protects Ben? Terrible coverage for Mason Rudolph.
- Rudolph looked shaky at best. Not like the kid we saw in preseason. Frustrating. Then he came out in the fourth quarter and got to work. Not sure what happened, but the kid has an arm.
- The 49ers lost the ball five times. How did our offense not convert?
- Boy, Monday Night Football next week should be fun with the 0-3 Steelers against the 0-3 Bengals. Who's looking forward to staying up late for that?
Other:
- Eli Manning has played 16 seasons with the Giants? Holy-Make-Me-Feel-Old. How has time flown this fast?
- So, Tom Brady tweeted during Thursday night's game between the Jags and Titans complaining about penalties. That got the media fired up. Leading up to Sunday's games, we heard all about the number of flags thrown in two weeks. Apparently, the refs are social media hounds because there were quite a few missed flags, in my opinion, this week.
- Yikes. Eagles Miles Sanders had an exorcist moment, although not by choice. The Lions Miles Killebrew tackled Sanders by grabbing his facemask and twisting it 3/4 way around Sanders' head. No flag that I saw.
- Joe Flacco. Sacked. Sacked. Fumbled. Hard to watch him completely unaware of defenders creeping up behind him. He needs to take a page out of Kansas' Patrick Mahomes, who let his o-line know that shit wasn't acceptable.
- Interesting how the initials AB, heard over and over and over again last week on the Redzone Channel, didn't make an appearance by Scott Hanson until almost at the three-hour mark.
- Same guy, different team. Now the Raiders problem, Vontaze Burfict couldn't make the tackles, but because he was near the pile of bodies, he'd randomly punch Vikings players. I'm getting tired of it. The NFL better jump on the bandwagon of the new world because people are getting tired of putting up with this type of nonsense.
- Giants Daniel Jones made his first appearance in the NFL, but it was Evan Engram's one-handed catch that will make the recaps.
- New kids on the block-or the backups-three wins, three losses. Steelers newbie lost, but at least he didn't get killed in points like the Jets Luke Falk and the Dolphins Josh Rosen. The Giants, the Panthers, and the Saints should all breathe a sigh of relief. Maybe...just maybe
