    Too bad ...

    Looks like we will be stuck with the underperforming Texans vs. the toothless Lions and the Dallas Tenderfoots vs. the Washington No Names. It was more fun when it was the Cowboys vs. the Indians.

    I’ll have it on, but I might be distracted with a coin book or to. The lockdown has resulted in no family celebrations. As my wife says, this year, Thanksgiving is just another day.

    Bill, though the records of the four Teams playing aren't very good I think the games will be competitive and entertaining. to be honest, I'd rather watch two 3-7 Teams play than a 9-1 powerhouse whipping a 2-8 cellar dweller. we just have to wait a few days for the Steelers/Ravens slugfest.

    Is it just me or does anyone else feel as though with this many COVID outbreaks on the Ravens, this game should just be postponed??? I've got no skin in this game, I'd like to see it played, but I'd hate to have it play and find out next week that multiple Steeler players test positive and derail their season. I realize there are no more bye weeks to move things around, but don't they preach player safety? And I'd really not like to see it played with one team missing multiple players.

    there is no record of team to team transmission in any sporting event to date , literally in the entire world

    Someone on the Ravens staff or players messed up. It hasn’t been a good year for the Ravens but I did predict this before the season.

    I agree with you with games like last week's Stealers - Jaguars snoozer, or the up coming Eagles - Seahawks disaster. I thought that it is illegal to kill Eagles.

    Lamar Jackson tested positive for Covid and is out for at least Sundays game. With symptoms he might miss 2 weeks.

    Steelers fan since the 70's. Have yet to watch one of their games this year. I hear they're doing ok. Looking forward to some college ball tomorrow.

    Terry Bradshaw was AMAZING!!

    In my opinion, Pittsburgh has as good of a chance as any team to win it all this year.

    Like I said above, they should postpone this game. I'd hate to see them play and the Steelers team have these issues next week.

    Or get a cheap win with Lamar Jax out. If they play this game and win then go undefeated I can see people talking about this being a give me type game big time

    Don’t award them an undefeated season just yet. They have to go to Buffalo December 13th. We’ll see just how good both of these teams are then. This game could have huge playoff ramifications.

    this game should be canceled. the NFL needs to push back the playoffs 1-2 weeks, replay the game and "bubble" every Playoff Team and game.

    If the game is postponed and never played, then the players lose 1/16 of their pay. How is this fair to the Steelers who have been ready to play sine Thursday?

    Now moved to Wednesday afternoon. Wth?

    I agree the whole season needs to be pushed back 2 weeks. also bubble the whole playoffs. home team is really no big deal anyways this year. If they are bubbled down south, weather wont be an issue.
