    Yeah...my wife came home at lunch after picking up our sandwiches. I must have leftNFL radio on the car radio. She looks at me and says WE'RE GOING TO LOSE THIS WEEK. I tried to explain to her the steelers already clinched the division. She said Mason has no talent. I'm typing this from my gun room

    Yes you use it ..Use it situationally as a change of pace,,to improve short yardage chances..And hope the DC of the other Team thought like you.. Oh and the big 1 just one hit away after you showed the mobile QB stuff to thats what you now have to defend..So of course any DC worth a crap would prepare for it..

    NO has had a package for their 3rd. string QB for years.. The point being use every tool the problem is our OC is a Tool...

    100% chance. And probably over and over.

    He claimed “most” of the other startes will be playing. I got to believe even if this is true, Tomlin won’t have them playing more than a half

    Just being able to rest starters and not be relying on other teams is a great feeling.

    Isn’t anyone else curious to see what both Dobbs and Mason can do in a real game situation? I would think the Organization wants to know what exactly do we have backing up a 38 year old veteran going into the playoffs.

    1 guy with no chance to win if called on and another that the OC has no clue how to or when to use.. So the answer is basically we have nothing..

    we've pretty much seen what Mason has to offer as well as Dobbs. So no thank you. But we'll get your wish this week! Can't wait

    I think we have a good idea what Mason can (and can’t) do, but there’s not much regular season tape on Dobbs. His limited regular season exposure vs. the Raiders in 2018 was not good, but the same can be said for many star QBs’ first quarter and a half of real game experience.

    Our OC is a tool, He sucks! But the NO situation is different...I agree with you, It WOULD have been nice to run some gadget stuff with Dobbs but, But if Fitchner hasn't used it all year, He's not going to use it now

    That idiot doesn't even know how to use misdirection, jet sweeps ( he did try one last week ) half back pass... Anything out of the ordinary...He sure as Hell wouldn't do anything remotely close to this!

    I understand the move. I don't understand announcing it now. Why not play it off as a game-time decision? Rest Roethlisberger in practice, but remind everyone that he played just fine with no practice in the first game against the Bengals.

    This basically tells the Bills they can sit all their guys Sunday because that game is meaningless. That pretty much guarantees the Dolphins will win, and the Steelers will be facing the Ravens in the first round of the playoffs. Baltimore might get 300 yards on the ground in that one.

    All I know is Mason better have his chin strap tight, Garrett vs Rudolph II. This may be a pay per view event. Dobbs may be in the game sooner than we think.

    I'm so glad I'll get to watch this game. I'm looking forward to seeing how Mason does. Maybe it's our turn to win with a back up QB since a few have whipped us this season.

    I swear, if losing this game to the Stains leads to us getting the ****ing Ratbirds in the first round, I’m going to break something. You might as well just end the season now if that ends up being the case.

    More I think about it the more Sunday can't get here soon enough. Who knows, we could be watching our starting QB and RB (Snell) for next season.;+)

    I think a few years back on New Years Day we had a meaningless game week 17 against the Browns and we won it with a back up QB. Damn if I can remember his name at the moment.

    It's not the dumbest move it's the smartest move. Ben has been injured and a week off should do him good. The only chance the Steelers have is to go into the playoffs with a healthy QB.
