Games like today are why I used to love the NFL. Yeah, not modern day 30+ O, that everyone thinks is the only way to win against elite teams in the Playoffs ( I'm not so sure this is a given), but it was our O completely dominating a "tough guy" persona D, and was thoroughly enjoyable to watch.
Harbaugh himself said this was going to be a statement type of game, guess we know which team made the statement, could it be a season defining statement?
I've been always saying RWilson3 is the better QB, but not so sure anymore, and no fucking way Tomlin benches Fields as things currently stand. This could change, based on in game play,and if it does, it might be best for the Steelers for multiple reasons:
- Fields contract
- 6th vs 4th trade compensation
- RWilson the better QB to win now??? This is getting to be less of a talking point each week/Fields win.
As long as Russ doesn't think he's entitled to be QB1, which I don't think he does, I believe he actually likes Fields, then this is optimal. Ride Fields and the wins as long as you can, let Russell get fully healthy, and if Fields reverts to his shitty decisions of daBears fame, then bring in the fully healthy future HOF QB to keep things rolling, and throw a few 45+ air yd dimes to Pickens/CAiii.
After what 3 years??? It's so nice to see a real NFL game plan with a legit NFL OC calling the plays, just really drunk and happy right now
