That call was still the worst though, because it basically directly let to an OT in which the Ravens of course won. Those other calls came much earlier, even if they weren't great. That roughing call hit the hardest.
It was a good game overall and I'm pleasantly surprised that we appear to be deep at QB. But Juju still has to go. That's two seasons in a row he's literally fumbled away and that's unacceptable. Also, he overall hasn't proven that he can be a no. 1 WR in general since his performance hasn't been much like AB or Hines Ward at all. He's had a decent play here and there, but not enough. He isn't putting up many big numbers at all. Time to move on and find someone else. Steelers have a history of drafting and crafting great WRs, but they didn't get lucky this time.
No, the THOUGHT of cutting him is ridiculous, and I do not apologize for being blunt as hell when I say that's a stupid idea. And over an unlucky fumble that was fortunate to stay in-bounds? Reminder that Juju has the most recieving yards of all WRs on the team, best average and is a class act who will admit his mistakes unlike a previous circus clown you tried to defend before he went to Oakland. Oh, he's not putting up godly numbers his first 3 seasons! What a bust! ...give me a break.
And I don't care how early those calls were, they were still important.

EDIT2: Fuck you too, refs. This had no business being OT, we should have won then and there but instead they had to throw a bullshit roughing call when there was NOTHING there! The commentators even said it was bad AND with some emphasis! FUCK YOU REFS.
You need to calm down. Deep breaths.
We got lucky on a couple Baltimore challenges ourselves that were pretty important and looked the opposite of what the final calls were. Commentators themselves said those were bad calls, too, so we're not so victimized ourselves.
Honestly, it was a good game in my opinion, as painful as the loss was after the heartbreaking injury. At least Hodges looked pretty good and Rudolph was able to stay conscious.
Edit: And stop bullying poor Juju for a fumble that got real lucky to stay in bounds. Cut him? Stupid idea.

Game's not over until it's the end of the game. Best not to jump to conclusions and dump the team again and again whenever they commit the forbidden act of "being down 2 possessions early in the game with a lot of football to be played in said game when one game behind 1st place early in the season".
At least wait until half time and see how many possession scores are between the 2 teams before changing the channel and discarding your team "pride" until the next time they get a lead in another game. I get you prioritize rooting for a winner over rooting for a team for their hometown no matter the record, but still.
Also, I do think Ben's in the wrong. He should be aware of what he's wearing, even if someone else is dressing him and especially if it's a mobile watch. He has little reason to be livid.
-
Juju and Vance are active.
Also, Ben got fined $5,000 for wearing an Apple Watch last week (it can send texts, which is against the rules) and is trying to appeal with the explanation that he didn't know the watch was on because his wife dressed him due to his injured arm.
Dunno what arm the watch was on, but I'm not sure I buy his explanation. At the very least, he should be aware of what he's getting dressed into, injured arm or not.

check out this self-proclaimed non-steeler fan talking about the steelers like shes a steelers fan 😛
Also, two scorigamis (new unique NFL scores) this week. 40-25 for Browns vs. Ravens and 55-40 for Bucs vs Rams.
-
Browns are wrecking the Ravens and will likely be 2-2 and leading the AFC North. Winner Monday night will be just one game back.
Bills are also a TD away from tying the Pats and an extra point from grabbing the lead in the 4th. Brady has no TDs and 1 INT.
Oop, Pats intercept a high, contested throw and win. Browns win too.

2013 if you're curious, you started 0-4
And funny enough, we almost made the playoffs despite going 8-8. The Ravens and Dolphins both lost and got eliminated, but the Chargers grabbed the spot by beating the Chiefs in overtime.
...of course, there was no non-playoff team with a winning record in the AFC that season, so we had a lot of help in the first place to keep us alive at the last week.

"Hm... the next banner is a Special Heroes Banner... What if the next one is the Farfetched Heroes?"
You didn't understand what I wrote, did you?
The next one as the next banner after the special heroes banner.
...That sorta sounds like you said "since the next banner is seasonal, it's gonna be Farfetched", not gonna lie.
"Hm... the next banner is a Special Heroes Banner...what if the one after that is the Farfetched Heroes?"
There we go.
As for the runner-up banner, it'll likely be around November as usual. The first runner-up banner was mid-November into December, and the second one was late October into November.

Dude, I edited my post to say you were right. You don't have to snap at me.
Also, I've been WORKING much of the last two days.
I saw your post before you edited it and never got to see your update as I composed my post, and edited posts don't automatically update unless you refresh.
And working or not, that's still pretty weird that you had the time to research Newton's foot injury but somehow remain oblivious to the team's record, including today. All it takes is a simple Google search to double check your facts before you wind up making a confident statement that easily can get disproven and make you look silly.

The Panthers have no wins right now, what are you talking about?
...are you serious right now?
The Panthers beat the Cardinals 38-20, are 1-2, and their backup quarterback just outplayed the god damn starter 4x over in terms of TDs with 1 game.
How have you gone two days without realizing this AND researched Cam Newton's injury? Seriously, search up the Panthers' current record.

And now BOTH my teams are without their starting QBs. Cam Newton's out for a long time with a lisfranc injury. I actually had to look this one up, as I'd never heard of it. Found it's a type of foot fracture.
I can't believe how shitty this season is...
Oh no, now the Panthers are starting with Kyle Allen, a QB that...
*checks notes*
...scored 4 TDs and 0 INTs in 1 game compared to Newton's 0 TDs and 1 INT in 2 games and led the Panthers to their first win with a final score of 38-20.
Huh.

Antonio Brown has been released after one game.

Steelers apparently traded for a safety from Miami. Huh. Hope this Minkah Fitzpatrick guy proves worth it in the end.
11th round pick in the 2018 Draft. He apparently did good on the team last year as a cornerback, but struggled this year presumably due to having to play multiple positions (adding linebacker and safety) which did not make him happy, so the Dolphins let him seek a trade.

True enough, I suppose. But you're being kind of harsh here... Sorry.
Just don't go "lol" any time someone does something you don't understand or deem incorrect. I've noticed that bad habit of yours, and whether you mean it or not, it always comes off patronizing, like you're laughing at someone else's actions. That was probably a subconscious contributor (that and it being late at the time) to my more blunt reply.

Hey, his allegations and antics are interesting drama. So I'm gonna bring it up because I find it interesting. 😛
Speaking of interesting, Giants are starting Daniel Jones over Eli Manning after a 0-2 start.

Why even bother talking much about AB now? lol We've got nothing to do with him anymore, whatever happens with him doesn't affect the Steelers.
...because this is the NFL thread. To talk about anything NFL. This is like questioning "why are you talking about food in a restaurant?". I can talk about non-Steelers stuff if I want, especially if it's news about very notable NFL players.
Dunno why you find this something to "lol" at or even question me about.

Watch the video all the way to the end.
OH CRUD
That was pretty sneaky. Tossing in a new unit at the end of the video past the banner screen for the 4-3 star pool?

That's Bantu, who is supposed to look after Tiki back in the Akaneia games and the very first playable Manakete in the series. I'm sure all the Tikis will be very happy to have Ban-Ban around.
I hope this idea of adding a 3/4* Unit alongside a banner becomes a regular thing. I like it.
Wait, Bantu was there? I was just making a joke about Sirius. I'm lost.

How were you able to make a topic? I was unable to because the stupid captcha kept taking me back to the topic creation page.
Oh well, I don't really care much about this banner anyway. I don't know these characters, so it's a pass for me. I've heard of Nagi, but don't really know anything about her. I'm low on orbs anyway.
Went on desktop. I had similar problems on mobile, so I dunno what's up with that.

We have Phina, Norne, Nagi, and some guy who doesn't look familiar at all. Do you guys recognize him? I don't.

for a non-steeler fan who decided to root for the panthers ana's sure focusing on the steelers a lot in this topic in comparison
Honestly, we needed to move on anyways. Ben is fragile as hell, and I wasn't sure he'd play well this year. Here's hoping Rudolph plays well for the future, playoffs or not, and despite Ben saying he'd be ready next year, I think he and the Steelers need to learn that he's done. "Five more years" is not a reality for him. (Plus, he's sorta rubbed me the wrong way as a person.)
Also, AB got accused of sexual misconduct by another woman now, not to mention he's apparently getting lots of lawsuits for not paying for stuff in the past to add to that chef issue some months ago.

It's more if Brown is barred from playing this week or not. If he is barred, then what is stopping me from organizing a campaign against a QB right before the Superbowl? #MeToo, remember? Or do we now suddenly say "hold up, let's wait for evidence"?
I doubt it's that easy to pull off, especially since you'd be putting yourself at risk for being harassed by the player's fans who believe him. Evidence of the truth or not, there will be people going after you just for speaking out. Correct me if I'm wrong, but haven't all the sexual assault cases that become big news in the NFL been lawsuits, which means making a fake allegation that would get disproven could cost you a lot of money? If so, then it's not easy unless you're willing to cough up a lot of money to humiliate yourself to the world. Whatever the case, the theoretical practice you're talking about hasn't exactly been popular in spite of allegations like this being a thing since a decade ago (if not earlier, can't confirm) when Roethlisberger got in hot water. Where have the allegations before the SB for other teams been then? Why has there been no news of Tom Brady being an alleged rapist caused by one person in a very big part of the gigantic sea of die-hard, toxic sports fans in spite of the Patriots' heavily negative reputation?
I don't think there's anything to worry about for this possible practice being a thing. Let's talk about this when it starts actually happening for once; otherwise, it's just a slippery-slope fear (if that's even a term) .

What bothers me about this case (as opposed to Ray Rice or Kareem Hunt) is that Brown was oddly specific in his denial but the accusation is only backed up by two texts from Brown. The other two cases have video/audio evidence.
I'm worried that if Brown gets suspended and then turns out to be entirely innocent that people might use sexual assault as a method to sabotage another team before a big game.
Imagine if someone accused Brady of sexual assault right before the Superbowl? What do you do? Does he play? Does the league attempt to stay consistant in their approach to these claims? This could be terrifying for the future of the league.
Wouldn't the loser of the case (which is civil, BTW, so no "guilty or not guilty") have to pay fees, though? There's also the question if the potential accuser has any evidence, and I'd be surprised if there wasn't at least one person each month falsely accusing someone big in the NFL of sexual assault/harassment without really suing or having any evidence, even if I'm just guessing here.

Why would it look awkward for the Pats? Brown was a Steeler at the time. Pittsburgh would have more questions to answer.
Fair, but I meant awkward for the Pats in that they just got AB and now this news spills about him, so now they gotta figure out what to do with the off-the-field distraction in AB, especially after trading away one of their WRs hours before this news came to light. I understand this controversy is not on them.

Okay, sure! Forget him leading the team in yards and yards per game and outperforming all the others on the team, we need to focus on how he fumbled once last year and this time with the help of physics luckily keeping the ball in, not to mention pretend that Juju fumbled more in the past when he's only done that twice his NFL career now! Time to move on to a new WR and pretend he's the worst WR on the team despite his stats saying otherwise!
Please, that's ridiculous. You're talking from anger and rage and overreacting, and claiming he's fumbled more than that despite the truth being the opposite is proof of that.
Juju stays. He's the best WR the Steelers have right now, is still performing well, and cutting him over the first fumble of the season because he fumbled once last season is an overreaction.
