6-0 and averaging 35.6 points per game. I haven't personally learned anything about Brock Purdy but people wrote him off and were bigging up Mac Jones who did less with more talent around him. Last night, no Kittle. No Trent Williams. Purdy is now 4th in the league in QB rating.



I think there are/were reasons to question/critique Purdy, but anyone saying Mac was on the same level as Purdy is insane. Purdy can actually move pretty well and has a much better arm than Mac.

Eagles fans the first few weeks of the year were swearing he was easily a top five QB and absolutely elite.

Embarrassing, just like Nick Sirianni.
I’m in a group chat with 3 Eagles fans and went I said he wasn’t top-10 they all jumped on my head. That SB win justified that belief in their minds but man, I just don’t see it.

You have to give him credit for how he played in the Super Bowl both times. He showed up and played extremely well. However, it's a team game and that Eagles defense was the real difference maker.

Many of these brain-dead Eagles fans would rather defend Hurts and say he's top five than recognize that he's limited in many ways. I'm not saying he's a terrible QB, but I would take 10-15 QB's over him without thinking twice. But, I don't want to beat a dead horse, especially because it seems like some of those same Eagles fans that would defend him to the bitter end are finally recognizing that he is very limited.

With that being said, I would not be shocked if he had a very good 3-4 game run come playoff time.

Why does the NFL think anyone cares about the Steelers in 2025?

49ers vs Seahawks should've been SNF

You sound like a fan of the 49'ers or Seahawks....Since you asked

1) The potential of Aaron Rodgers final game
2) Lamar Jackson>Purdy>Darnold

'

3)Derrick Henry
4)Much more -to-resting rivalry between the Ravens and Steelers
5)Nobody wants a repeat of Darnold Week 18
6)Can't have back-to-back Sunday Night Football games at home

No offense Seahawks vs 49'ers is going to be terrible from a neutral POV....I'm a watch because I love football, it's not a game for ratings or the casual audience

This aint the NBA.. it dont matter about players. its the teams and circumstances.

Burrow vs Rodgers got 6.3M viewers in Weeky 7
Seahawks vs Rams got 18M viewers in Week 15

Ravens at Steelers is a de facto playoff game.
Eliminaiton games>>>seeding positioning


This shouldn't have to be explained or broken down in 2025...y'all should know this by now

because he is top 10, especially watching QBs like baker, goff, darnold, etc play absolutely HORRIBLE and cost their team regularly, with zero criticism.



this was the problem last night and if patullo/sirianni is going to continue to game plan & play call like this come the playoffs, its lights out. but in their defense, it was a crazy rain storm and they love to do this p*ssy shyt whenever we have a 2 score lead. nobody is going to succeed with a negative run, 1 yard run, pass on 3rd and long with an uncreative ass play with routes behind the sticks gameplan.

Are you serious?
Lamar vs Aaron
This is for ratings

:dahell:
They’re definitely putting Aaron on prime time in a game like this. His first year as a STEELER?? in a win and get in game? In a year with no Mahomes? Aaron is getting the prime time game lol

Nobody cares about a “play in” game for two Mediocre teams

All the shows and networks this week will lead with SF/SEA and they will probably double the ratings
