If Big Ben Roethlisberger is benched for rest in Week 17, he won't be mentally ready for the playoffs

I do think that if they were to bench Ben Roethlisberger and some of their other starters later on in the season, like week 17, I don't think that Big Ben comes back ready for the [playoffs]. I think he will believe that he is benched because he's injured in that one week off. And then that's going to mess with him mentally.

Roethlisberger did rest in Week 17 and then threw 4 interceptions in a Wild Card loss to the Browns, arguably proving the 'not ready' part of the take.

The Steelers are the worst 11-0 team of all time

Yeah, I think it's fair to say the Steelers are the worst 11-0 team of all time.

While subjective, the 2020 Steelers are frequently cited as the worst 11-0 team ever given their late-season collapse and first-round playoff exit.

The Steelers should try to lose to the Washington Football Team to reset their season for a 'revenge tour'

I actually think that they should try to lose a game just so that everyone can be down on them and then they can come back and be like, fuck you, revenge tour in the playoffs. They should probably lose this game against the Washington football team.

The Steelers did lose to Washington, but they did not have a 'revenge tour'; they collapsed, losing 4 of their last 5 and getting bounced in the first round.

The Saints are currently the best team playing in the NFL

But if you're talking about who's playing the best right this second, it would probably be Saints. It's without a doubt the Saints.

The Saints were on a 9-game winning streak at this point. They finished the season strong but lost in the Divisional Round.

England will beat the Netherlands and then lose a heartbreaking match to Argentina

I think England's gonna win this weekend. And then you'll have the realization that it might not actually be coming home after all... losing to Argentina at that stage, that would be the most heartbreaking loss they could possibly have.

Specific tournament outcome needs verification based on the actual 2026 bracket results.

Christian Pulisic is clearly not and cannot be the face of US soccer

I'm just sick of relying on him [Pulisic] to be the face of US soccer because it can't be, it's so clear that he's not.

This is a subjective evaluation of a player's leadership/status.

The 4-1 loss to Belgium was the worst USMNT performance in years

That was the worst performance from the US that I've seen in years. Just completely lackluster from the start. So much blame to go around. Tim Ream, friend of the program, good guy over the hill, turned into soccer Shawn Bradley before our very eyes got dunked on twice.

Subjective opinion on the quality of the performance.
