Fantasy: Ahead by 12; have 4 players left (including Drake Maye!) and he has 2. His expected total tonight: 15. Mine: 47.

If I lose this game, I am quitting fantasy forever.

I'm losing both must win games. Yay! Fantasy is stupid.

Like Aikman, I had never seen what Youngho did tonight.

You didn't see it?

Dude went to kick the FG and jammed his foot into the ground about 6-8" behind the ball and it stuck.

Here's Danny Devito and the Mannings watching it live.

Nobody has ever seen it before.

In other news, the Bills ran the same running play 29 times against the Steelers. That's how good Tomlin and his staff are at coaching.

James Harrison lays out some truth about Tomlin, his coaching staff, and Art Rooney.

If Tomlin and Rooney are smart, they agree to part ways in the offseason. The criticism is getting too loud. Tomlin still has enough rep to get a big money deal. (Although, if he's really smart, he just retires and goes to TV. People will forgive one bad season, but the more he's out there, the more casuals and non-Steeler fans are going to see behind his facade.

Meanwhile, Rooney can give the fans a fresh start and get them spending again.

I laughed at this more because I just saw Rex Ryan say, "Almost every other team would hire Tomlin in two seconds." Someone on X responded, "Let's be honest, it'd only be the 6-8 worst teams."

The "he'd be hired in a second" argument is beyond stupid. How many employers do you know that won't fire someone because a competitor might hire them?

How are the Patriots doing after firing Belichick? The Eagles fired Andy Reed, they must have gone downhill, right? Seattle dumped Pete Carroll, so I'll bet they suck now. The 49ers parted ways with Jim Harbaugh, so they must be cellar dwellers? The Packers fired Super Bowl winning Mike McCarthy and now totally suck...

I could cover his resume and show you the smoke and mirrors, but I've done that before. Ultimately, let me just say that sometimes, it's just time for a change. Tomlin's act has grown stale in Pittsburgh and it's time to move on. If he's a great coach, he'll go someplace else and have success.

Big Ben also says Steelers and Tomlin need to part ways.

Big Ben suggests PSU for Tomlin, which he's right that Tomlin would be a great recruiter, but he'd be Jon Cooper part 2. Cooper was an OSU coach in the 90s who recruited NFL caliber teams, but he got outcoached in every big game.

Fun note: The Steelers are hosting the next NFL draft and there is now concern that fans will take over the draft with "Fire Tomlin" and "Sell the team" chants. You know what would make that not happen and give the local crowd an excited buzz...?

That Younghoe Koo graphic is hilarious.

Yeah, my fantasy hopes are down to must win and hope someone else loses. I play Stranger. If he takes a dive, I'll send him Tomlin.

The "NFL is rigged" folks are going to have a field day with that reversed safety call.

Oh, yay, I'm playing Jahmyr Gibbs this week. And Lamb got hurt? And two more of my players are now questionable?

It will never not be funny that the Cleveland Browns wear a special uniform that makes them look like turds and it's sponsored by Dude Wipes.
