Steelers faithful don't want Flynn to roll in and crush Terry Bradshaw's Steelers records.

The only record any Steeler fan cares about is 4 SB wins...and we'd love it if someone broke that.

WHY DOESNT ANYONE TALK ABOUT THE BEST FA PICK UP OF THE YEAR? (who happens to be a FA this year too)

Evan Mathis, the best guard in all the NFL, who fights with fans on twitter and in real life about andy?

I miss Mathis

[Penthesilea]

He was absurdly good -

If you’ve been with us here at PFF for a while, you are probably well aware of Evan Mathis. If you’re not, you may still not have any idea who he is. Mathis was the best guard in football this past season. Lining up at guard next to Jason Peters, he helped form the best left side of an offensive line in the NFL for the Eagles–and he did it all being thrust into the lineup late in camp as the Eagles shuffled positions. Mathis played 1,024 snaps this season and did not allow a single sack. He allowed just 15 total pressures on the season (less than one per game for the mathematically inclined) and his +20.4 run blocking grade was almost three times better than the next best mark of +6.9 posted by All-Pro Carl Nicks.

Also he worked his ass off in the off season to get a job, still not sure why he wasn't kept by Cincinnati.

Mathis hated Cincinnati. Who wouldn't.

Marvin Lewis is a hack, Mile Brown is cheap. Northern most team without a practice bubble and no plans to get on

In preparing to play a playoff game in a DOME, Lewis has his team practicing in 15 degree weather. AJ Green tweeting that he can't feel his toes during practice.

It's fucking ridiculous

[Penthesilea]

Oh yeah, forgot to mention he was a steal at somewhere around 700k. Mudd likes his white linemen.

The guard we kept? Nate livings. Bottom ten guard in the league lolol

[tyven]

nice chest and traps on ole evan

[Rhinox]

Bears promoting Mike Tice to offensive coordinator, putting him in charge of run game and pairing him w a passing game coach. Tice is OC tho


Per jay glazer

[Rhinox]

Nice hire really like it.

[tyven]

sweet. does he still rock the pencil over the ear? I remember when he was Vikes coach and they were awful and an announcer was like "he needs to take that pencil from his ear and jam it into his neck"

[Rhinox]

When he was with the vikes they had a top 10 offense.

[Rhinox]

Martz had 30th tank offense.

[Rhinox]

YOU MEAN WE DONT HAVE KURT WARNER, MARSHALL FAULK, BRUCE, PACE OR HOLT? MAN WE SUCKS LOLZ

[Demosthenes11]

you don't have 2 of the best receivers ever and a good culpepper either

bears offense is good don't get me wrong (when cutty and FORTE are healthy). You just can't look at past offenses they have coached like that. That vikings team was a freak team of athletes

"It will be important for us to utilize the talents of our players and exploit match-ups each Sunday" -Tice

This alone makes rice a much better oc. Martz thought his system produced the talent instead of the talent dictating what system you run.



Can't protect the qb? Fuck it we still dropping back 7 steps Don't have the talent at WRs? Fuck it we still only running the ball 9 carries the whole game.
