Tough to Overstate How Important This Game Was

I think we just went from "Season Over" to "We have a Chance."

We know the Rats will probably overtake us before the season is over, but this win gives us a fighting chance to stop that.

It is so wonderful to see the defense do something. I feel rejuvenated as a fan.

 

Everybody took the Colts, so the gambling houses cleaned up. It was a good win and hope they can build on it. Rodgers is in charge of the offense as long as everybody else plays their position. The defense needs to stay on man coverage or they will give away games like they did to the Bengals and Packers.

 

Yea this was a must win to stay in the race for the division. The Ravens are coming.

 

I have to agree. They could've easily thrown in the towel due to the past few weeks and being incredibly shorthanded.

 

I said it before game. We lose season over. Bills just beat Chiefs. They want to impress me beat them in the Playoffs.

 

I have Chiefs fatigue

 

I thought the Colts started out disrespecting us today. We got the last word

 

The media is starting to disrespect the Colts as some suspected they were not as good as their record.

Unfortunately, that also means the media is disrespecting our win today as they basically call the Colts frauds.

 

The Colts and Pats are by products of their schedules (it's not their fault - beat who you play).

Bengals only win since Sept 14 is the Steelers.

Packers haven't played well since Sept 14 other than the Steelers win.

Not like those two losses looking like they were to powers.

 

LoL predominantly man coverage is what got us beat by the Packers, and Bengals.

 

Bills fans have it worse I'd imagine.

 

Only in the playoffs the Bills own the Chiefs in the regular season.

 

How much of this win do you think was putting Ramsey at S so that the middle of our defensive backfield wasn't ass?

I also think that we clean up against QBs that can't find a WR and get the ball out in ~ 2s. But we tend to be really bad against good QBs (who are the guys that can do this).

 

We don't know that.

 

It was massive. If we only took care of business against Cincy on TNF, we could be sitting 6-2 with only NFC losses. I wouldn’t say it’s been ideal, but 5-3 isn’t the end of the world. We still have 2 pivotal games against the Ravens, and if we want to win the division we will have to win at least one of them. If we can come out and find a way to beat LA next week, I will like our chances. We’re such an up and down team and back to back good wins in the conference should give us a boost into the latter half of the season.

 

That makes it worse for them.


How Steelers Fans felt about the Patriots in the 2000s to mid 2010s.

 

I think it was very helpful. I also saw Ramsey lined up against the TE in 1v1 situations (which is an excellent use of his skillset). It’s too bad that we really only have 1 CB that can cover at all outside of Ramsey (JPJ). I’m almost at the point where I’d prefer to see Pierre out there instead of Slay.

At the end of the day, every game where the front 7 wins… the defense holds up and gets turnovers. Every time we get zero pressure… we get eviscerated. It’s been as simple as that

 

It's too bad because it seemed like the plan this year was "we have 3 good CBs, so we'll delay the ball getting out and feast on opposing QBs".

I think it works against the guys who aren't good at making quick decisions.

 

This is My opinion on only watching the game live on tv, and no replays of any kind yet. Moving Ramsey helped, but they still moved him a bit.
They stopped so much man, and simply simplified the D. We also played some man zone concept on plays that was killing us earlier with people going into motion. I'm sure there is more ,but that's all I could see on the TV version of the game. I can't wait to watch an all 22 of it to really see.
