1:00pm ET Christmas.

What are we having to eat?

[Tico Rick]

Thanks! Nothing but the best… KFC!!!

[DelPen]

Don’t want to look past this game but have there been different crews each Chiefs game that make up bizarre interpretations of the rules that always favor them or is it the same group most times? Another great call on a clear fumble that the Texans returned but they called an incomplete pass and then added a roughing the passer on top which wouldn’t be a penalty if it was a block after the fumble.

We are going to get screwed badly on Christmas which makes this game so much more important. Kind of glad the Texans lost which helps keep them the 4th seed and hosting most likely us or the Ravens. I would hate to drop 3 straight and the Ravens end up hosting us in the wild card game, nightmare scenario.

[DelPen]

Henry looks leaner and faster with the haircut.

[DelPen]

Good stop, but I was sure they were going to throw a flag for a hit after the pass because why not.

And great special teams play, son of a…

[DelPen]

Great punt but a bunch of missed tackles, force a fumble on the return but goes another 10 yards for the Ravens to recover in our end. Unbelievable.

[DelPen]

The fact this team under multiple different QB’s and OC’s is never ready to start a game I guess means we need yet another new OC and QB? Kind of like the Pens just need to keep changing assistant coaches until the head coach stop making bad choices.

Pierce is a mountain but you can’t avoid him?

We have to give them credit where it’s due for this game. First drive was 3rd and 2 and a good play by the Ravens and 2nd drive got to the 1 before the quarter ended.

The defense is allowing the Ravens to run all over them and shows the DL is a huge weakness for this team.

[DelPen]

Really dumb play call even if it worked.

[DelPen]

So. ****. Stupid. Slide you moron.

[Admin]

Slide

[DelPen]

The replay makes it even worse that Russ actually ran TOWARDS the defender.

Rather than slide and 3 or 7 points, the Steelers are about to give up points to the Ravens after this long drive. Amazing.

[Admin]

You don’t like 14 point swings? Ugh.

[Daniel]

You don’t like 14 point swings? Ugh.

This was an overrated defense without the injuries and now 3/4 of the secondary is out. Not good.

[DelPen]

All the talk of resigning Russ was very premature, I don’t care who is injured or not, if this team doesn’t win a playoff game again this year you don’t bring him back because this roster isn’t going to be any better than it is now and would rather see how Fields or someone not really old would do to grow into the job.

[DelPen]

And every time our QB throws a ball up like that it’s an INT. Ravens are getting lucky too so far.

They need to evaluate the QB position for sure. I can see signing Russ to 2-3 years if they get a guy like the kid from Penn St. Someone raw that can grow and replace Russ. Another option is if they think FIelds can be the long term guy.

Drew Allar is returning for his senior season or did you mean like him?

[DelPen]

At least we have the Pens getting shutout in Newark later tonight to look forward to.

[Daniel]

I didn’t know he was returning, so now it’s like him.

[Daniel]

Tomlin is such a coward. I hate that they always slowly get into field goal range with no sense of urgency at the end of the first half.

[DelPen]

Looked like there was contact before the fair catch, should be a flag.

[DelPen]

Patterson actually baubles it after some good defense after the catch, lucky it was right into where he could regain control.
