Darnold must feel like a million bucks and good for him. He got the monkey off his back. 

@Digitalkarma

Makes all the sense in the world.

Where is Shaheed?

A ref with a personality explaining OT. 

Single cover Nacua, why let him beat you?

#22 for the Seahawks Shaheed might have saved Darnold's bacon. This is like a playoff game in intensity. 

Wow, great pass from Darnold

Nice punter 

Great to see Darnold has gotten over his big game chokings? Sheesh, I saw this one coming in that I stayed away because of Darnold reaming me years ago.

You make excellent points which can't be denied.  Your tracing of the Lions' recent regression is valid. Will it continue? Yep, that is a key one. 

I could say that the Lion offense roared last week but they are once again plagued by injuries to the defense. 

This Steeler defense is so inconsistent, but their offense is improving as Rogue Rodgers is going aerial. 

On a sidenote, the Steeler backup to sidelined Watt, Nick Herbig, is out with a hamstring. The rookie from Ohio State, Jack Sawyer, will get the start at outside linebacker. It might mean clean pockets for Goff though I expect the Lions will try to run it down their throats. 

I expect the Steelers to hang with them for 3 quarters and then the Lions to pull away. 

All the best

Enjoyed the writeup  and BOL 

I wish you luck and I will be watching. In every game I have taken Sam Darnold (going back years), he has been a major disappointment. I can no longer be his pin cushion but this one should be a real barn burner. 

Some think that the Steelers have turned a corner the last two weeks. I think they were gifted with a win in Baltimore and that they shined against a bad Dolphins' team. 
Steelers were blown out by Seattle, Green Bay, and Buffalo and now they face a desperate Detroit that will come out of the gate aggressive on offense. It is an offense that is a cut above and I doubt that the Steeler defense can contain them.

Seems to me, that the powers that be, want the Steelers in the conversation and in the post season mix and are willing to pull out all stops. We'll see. 
Tony Dungy and Rodney Harrison both picked Pittsburgh in the upset but I got the feeling it was them being loyal to Tomlin. Dungy got Tomlin the interview for the head coaching job so how objective could he be. He denies he played any part but I know better.

I will stay away from this game wagering wise as I think something sinister is at work here. Something is rotten in Denmark and so too in Western Pennsylvania IMO. 

This one needs to be bumped as posters are already mistakenly speculating how this will all shake down if this or that happens.
