Enjoy bro. Your team is resilient, they are winning games.

I'm enjoying not having expectations. So there's that. Just don't have any faith in this team competing against real contenders.

So Pitt -3 and the under was a good bet tonight?

Nope, it was -3.5 in most bets.
Many opportunities for upset, a FG by Titans would have covered.

Obviously a good bet. But risky.

Honestly, I'd rather be lucky than good...just saying

Having a hard time understanding KP... Dude looks like a 2-pack of ass for 2.5 quarters before turning the lights on every week.

It was a surprise to see him come out and have that really solid first drive but after that, the same old, same old. He seems to miss quite a few of those easy mid range throws. Is that about right @FaCe-LeE-uS ? I don't watch many Steeler games but that's what it looked like to me.

Yep that’s about right. He shows flashes of being a great passer but I think he still has a footwork problem. Could be attributed to his flight response in the pocket. And he really struggles to see the entire field sometimes.

The 1st drive was not normal. He typically struggles a lot in the 1st half before the lights come on & he pulls it together. He has a clutch gene but hasn’t figured out a way to be consistent through the entire game.

Still only his 20th start. Room to grow. But at 25 years old he needs to grow fast.

The Steelers are the most unlikely 5-3 team ever....

There are things to be worried about with Kenny. I think a good bit is him being mishandled by the OC, and being shell-shocked by the OL.

There have to be improvements, cause he's currently on track for Not For Long.

Certainly not. Steelers consistently are slightly over .500 without great QB play.

Good defense and coaching matters. If they actually score on the opening drive then they might even be a solid football team.

Malik Willis, you're up

???

For his 2nd start in the NFL, Levis looked fantastic.

He definitely is going to have his flaws in all likelihood. But such a good arm to overcome a lot of those issues.

I love the VIkes pick of Addison this year (and even more since he got in the league and looks like a future pro bowl level player). But Levis is the guy that I will be keeping an eye on for quite awhile to see if we didnt miss an opportunity.

 

[Clayton]

That rookie QB for Titans, missed 2 passes for TD, second one INT. 1-2 yards higher on those passes, diff ball game.

Definitely had chances to win that one. I do think Levis is as advertised. Great arm talent. Pro ready. Still needs to learn the nuances of the game. The last play of the game looked like some of his college film where some people were worried that he made his decision on where to go with the ball before the snap is even made and because he trusts his arm so much he just tries to force it in there.

That said, if you're a Titans fan you're probably happy to move on from Tannehill at this point.

He had a great game 1....last night wasn't nearly as good as game 1 but it wasn't a bad game either. He was going against a really good defense. Just a rookie learning on the job.

Not sure if you meant, "unlucky"... But it is definitely, likely, that they are 5-3...

The big takeaway I have is that the Steelers (and Warren) ran the ball better than the Titans.

Its just that Levis had a chance to steal this one and that would've given him that national hype of the next big thing. As is, he could still be that but he played like a promising rookie who made rookie plays.
