To be clear, I wasn't saying they'd win in primetime, just that it's more embarrassing to lose at that time slot. I would like to minimize embarrassment.
Not me. I want full on total embarrassment the rest of the season. Maybe something will then change.
Of course they now have the built in excuse "well our first round draft pick QB is hurt soooo." Even though they sucked with Pickett.

Giants and Steelers and Bears fans, you have to be looking at the 2024 NFL draft QB class and dreaming of an upgrade.

The Giants…my god they made the classic blunder in writing a huge check to Jones after one middling 2022 season. He wasn’t even Kirk Cousins good last year. They have to try to draft a replacement and then eat Jones’ 2024 money before they cut him.

The question is whether Daboll can outlast Jones in NY. #10 had “coach killer” written all over him.

I thought it was funny last night when Aikman said that the best thing Jones does is run the ball. He isn’t wrong, but I don’t think that’s what the Giants had in mind when they signed that contract.

If I knew that would produce results I'd be all for it.

Right now? They've stunk for at least the last 5 years. They've totally destroyed my fandom with their incompetence. And I'm not even reactionary.
Meh Seth Meyers GIF by Late Night with Seth Meyers

I'll stop I know the more I complain the more it looks like I care. Believe me, I am trying really hard to not care because I don't think they're close to rock bottom yet.

That 4th and 1 call. I saw it live. I don't know X's and O's and I knew it was a disaster waiting to happen. Incompetence.

The Stillers are a family. They don’t make knee-jerk decisions to fire people. I’m sure Tomlin, Canada, pickett, and the rest of the Stillers family will right the ship in the next 5-7 years.

I really don’t think Pickett works out. He doesn’t have any very good to elite ability. He’s merely average in most areas and it’s very tough to be a starting NFL QB when that’s the case.

Maybe he’s a Ryan Tannehill type but is that what Steelers fans want for the next 7-10 years?

He is a very good and capable backup. Nothing wrong with that at all and he will be needed. BUT he is not a starting QB or worth the draft pick they used on him.
But I also don't think he's the biggest issue on the Steelers. He's about 4th or 5th on my list...
Biggest issues IMO are:

1.) Tomlin (I like him but he is living off past results) his coaching hires have been busts. Which leads into #r's 2 and 3.
2.) Matt Canada, OC and this is not hindsight. I thought he was a very poor choice when hired. He had 1 decent year with Pitt when he had Connor on Offense and Donald (on defense).
3.) Teryl Austin, DC. Canada and the Offense get a lot of flak (rightfully so) but the Defense is bad.
4.) Pat Meye,r OL Coach. Ughhh. This is where I don't put all of it on Pickett or Harris. The OL is just putrid.
5.) Kenny P.

I have the same thoughts and priorities. While I have not called for anyone's firing here, I strongly disapprove of the retention of certain individuals during the offseason evaluation process.

I have no faith in any of the coaches at this time due to their repeated mistakes and missteps and lack of results. I am aware that none of them will be relieved of their duties until January at the earliest.

To be totally transparent, I find 90% of sports podcasts to be moronic. That includes all but one or two Penn State podcasts. I don’t play favorites just because something is about Penn State.

And I’ve tried to listen to both McAfee and the Kelces. It’s beyond bad. McAfee struggles with form coherent thoughts and the Kelces are just plain boring. It’s like if Bob and Mary down the block started a podcast talking about how their days went. They both have the personalities of a week old jar of pickles. I honestly don’t know who their show is geared towards outside of boring suburbanites.
I swear to God, I watched McAfee on tv for the very first time this week. He wears sleeveless shirts?
