they are going to kick a field goal the wrong direction.  Heard it here first.

I had 57 to -6 with the steelers making two negative field goals.  I try not to be too optimistic though.

This is essentially their 4th preseason game.

Won't somebody think of the children?

Please tell me Watt isn't playing either. He already ruined one Quarterback of mine.......................

Then Newton said this:

We’ll see I guess.

Newton could say grass is green, the sky is blue and water is wet, and I'd still go check.

Darnold should play the entire half, maybe more if they are playing the scrubs.

Don’t tell Matt Rhule what to do, EVER !

if they aren't even risking their 2nd string QB....I would imagine you will see the bottom of the Steelers depth chart from start to finish.

Is that similar to missing the touchdown but making the extra point?

Heck, at this point I don't think Rhule should even bother playing the starters.  Our starters vs the guys the Steelers are going to sit on the bench or cut for a half?    

I think the fringe guys with nothing lose and everything to gain are the most dangerous.   They are the least sound players and more likely to do something stupid and get someone hurt.   Seems like a pointless risk/exposure.    Obviously, all reps have injury exposure.  But if you aren't even going to rep them against comparable talent.....it gets harder to justify exposing them IMO.   I mean, I have seen coaches punish starters in preseason by keeping them in for an extra series to go against backups after disappointing.   But just playing a half vs backups would be some weird stuff. 

Just a weird preseason.  Reporter asked him today about the talent/competition  disparity today and how he could actually get what he claimed he wanted with it.  He gave a non-answer.  As coaches do.

This preseason has sucked. Time will tell how this was managed. I feel like Rhule missed some early opportunities to get some actual in-game work and timing down for this extremely young roster that oh, by the way, has a brand new (potential bust) QB.

Just seems like a weird preseason all around, and we didn’t make the most of our opportunities. Playing the 1s in this game versus the Steelers scrubs is a waste of time and we gain nothing by doing it.
