Went to sleep REALLY early last night. What on Earth happened to Tampa?

 

Tampa didn't show up. They looked disjointed and uninterested on offense, and that hyped defense let the Saints march right down the field on every possession. Watch out for that Saints team, though. With Michael Thomas back and healthy, they are truly dangerous.

Steelers have added 4 players including big ben to the covid list, though it looks like they might just be close contact adds and available to play this weekend.

Indy is definitely a tough test and bad matchup. They don't run the ball well, but their defense could give us fits and I still expect them to put up some points.

 

If we are really a Super Bowl contender, a game like the one against Indy on the road is one we need to put in the W column at some point.

Indy's offense is horrible. They'll need some turnovers or special teams help to score points.

I'm no big Rivers fan or anything. But I find it kind of funny how much he gets dumped on. He gets bashed and talked about how he should be benched basically after every loss. Yet here they are 6-3 in first place. Seems too many people forget there is a middle ground between being awesome (Wilson, Mahomes, Arod etc) and sucking/trash/awful.

Rivers is a good QB and has been throughout his career. When people say GB wasted Rodgers they should look no further than SD and the Rivers situation. Now that is a waste.
"This is a very simple game. You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains." Think about that for a while.

He has a really, really good defense.

 

He's ok but certainly for his career has been a tier below the elite guys. He's a game manager which might be all you need when you have the defense they do. I wouldn't rely on him in a shoot out though.

Never found Phillip Rivers to be much of a leader and certainly wasn't much of a difference maker with the football. Don't get me wrong, he has had a solid career, but it seems he always had a solid core around him offensively to make him look good. His defenses were fine and even had a number of them that ranked Top 10 in the NFL. There were only three occurrences in his entire time with the Chargers he didn't have a defense in the top half of the NFL. The fact he only managed one appearance in the AFCCC is a bit reflective of him.

He gets dumped on because of the movement toward efficiency/analytics and a guy that throws that many picks is going to be (rightfully) criticized under that light.

 

He's a better version of Jay Cutler and a worse version of Brett Favre.

Well this season he's a slightly better version of Nick Foles. Maybe. Foles does have 2 fewer games played.

All true on Rivers. But sometimes that's all you can do as the best guys aren't available. Also, obviously Rivers is a shell of his former self too at this age. Overall point was too many are too quick to call someone complete trash if they're not elite. I guess its the nature of internet/hot take culture these days. I used to say similar in regards to Jay Cutler, obviously we all saw his flaws and I used to laugh at his picks vs GB, but what else were they going to do bench him and play someone like Jim Sorgi? And how's it been going on the QB front since he left. Of course it can work the opposite where you shake it up and get lucky in the draft, but it's a big gamble. Being the 14th-18th best QB in the world but not top 5 doesn't mean you're trash. Prime Rivers/Cutler were probably even slightly better than that range.
