Week 14 is when we could be flexed to 8:30 against the Vikings. Currently Steelers/Ravens... Steelers been decent but Ravens trash and both us and the Vikings could be very good fighting for 1/2/3 seed then.

I highly doubt it. Heated rivalry, 2 successful teams through history and a giant fan-base in Steelers will not knock them off Sunday night.

I'd like to think NFL/NBC would put the better matchup in prime, but it's all about bringing in viewers for their advertisers. If Baltimore is still hovering around .500 at least, I bet they have a hard time pulling Pittsburgh out and putting us and the Vikings in. I hope so, though.

Obviously the NFL will analyze it and make the best decision for their bottom line but that also includes the 2nd half of the game, and I expect (just like the NFL may wind up expecting) the Steelers to blow them out and be up huge in the first half and no one will watch the 2nd half. Vikings-Panthers is much more likely to be a game that holds viewers' interest thoughout. I'm not expecting it to be flexed but I think it's possible.

i think its more likely that the Pats/Bills game gets flexed. that could literally help decide that division if the upstart Bills can pull off a win against the mortal-looking Pats

Possible, but FOX has the double header that weekend, and that's a CBS game.

      I get it's subjective and I said "PFF rated him as" one of the top deep ball passers during that time, which is an accurate statement.  They are still a group of professionals that look at film and data in order to make their judgements/ratings.  These people whose data has been incorporated into a lot of teams' staffs view Bryce's deep throws as some of the best in the league during that stretch.  That tells me that he can probably throw a deep pass vs the Huddle's version of he is small and didn't do it his rookie year so he must not be able to.  That and literally seeing him do it just makes me feel he is more than capable of doing so.   Do you think PFF is skewing their opinion to prop up a QB in a bottom tier franchise?  It's just another group's opinion and I feel is pretty respected around the league currently.  It's not the gospel truth or anything.

      I still remember how happy I was that gettlegut was not the GM once he picked Jones, that was a firing pick and well..... If not for the raiders drafting Clelin Ferrell, it was the biggest draft day mistake in the last 20 some years.

      He had 251 passing yards. 3 passing touchdowns and 2 rushing touchdowns. All in all a very impressive game. Problem is I do not envision his rushing ability translating like that over the course of the upcoming season. Yeah it will be something to account for from time to time but one it's not sustainable and two you don't want to put his durability to the ultimate test against a motivated defender willing to take a penalty and a fine. And plus with our backfield. Two 1k yard rushers. That's what they're here for. Then we have a much improved WR room. That means Bryce has to elevate those passing numbers substantially. The fact of the matter is regardless of circumstances it did take him 23 games to surpass Kyle Allen's single season passing yardage from 13 games in 2020. And that is not a high bar by any means. Whatever QB tier Bryce ends up in from here amongst his peers this upcoming season when it's all said and done it will be with his arm.
