Gameday Recap:

Allll week. I listened to the Browns talk shit.

Then the game starts. And talking ends. And the browns do what they do.

Steelers beat the absolute fck outta them. Embarrassed them tbh.

You wish you were us.

Kings of the North. Steelers 6-2.

Know your place.

Here We Go Steelers.

@robert_reott Can you read? Are you purposely being obtuse. You first said it would’ve cost a 4,5 and a 7. Which was wrong. Then you said I didn’t know we don’t have a 4 to send. To which I did, and spoke to that yesterday and countered with send them next years 2028 4th then.

[Kevin Adams @KevinAdams26]

Omar Khan sucks.

[Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter]

Trade: the Colts are trading wide receiver Josh Downs to the Chiefs, sources tell @rapsheet and me.

[Kevin Adams @KevinAdams26]

@robert_reott Try again.

[Kevin Adams @KevinAdams26]

@WarrenBurghh A 4th round pick flops more than it doesn’t. Downs might not make the Steelers a legit contender, but it makes them better. That’s the goal when you’re 6-2. He’s better than any 4th round risk at this point imo because he’s proven. We don’t have a 4 but send em next years.

[Kevin Adams @KevinAdams26]

@robert_reott Did you misunderstand the trade? It was a 4,5 and they got the player and a 7 back. The 4 you likely recoup in the offseason in compensatory. So really, it’s a 5 for a player and a 7 back. I think sometimes people truly don’t know what they’re talking about.

[Kevin Adams @KevinAdams26]

@CharDeeMacDen12 Depending on the cost. The part people don’t realize or won’t acknowledge is that if the player you trade for walks and gets paid, you get a compensatory pick back. So yeah it’s a rental. A rental you recoup part of your investment back on. So really we’re hung up on a 5th?

[Kevin Adams @KevinAdams26]

For a month we’ve heard the steelers are “aggressive” behind the scenes to find another wr. Another deadline passes, and nothing comes of it.

As aggressive as a worm.

Andy Weidl is great. Omar Khan ain’t the guy.

As a franchise, act accordingly.

Szn goes on. See ya Sunday.

[Kevin Adams @KevinAdams26]

@BoJackSonDaddy @steelerpens7 You’re right the bengals suck I forgot.

[Kevin Adams @KevinAdams26]

I would have more patience for the Steelers conservative approach if we haven’t had to wait a decade between playoffs wins. I acknowledge they’re 6-2 and fine. But fine isn’t the goal. Wins in January/February are.

If that means trying a new approach, you do whatever it takes.

[Kevin Adams @KevinAdams26]

@CharDeeMacDen12 Well considering they were allegedly searching for a month and came up empty, it couldn’t be that aggressive. Other teams got deals done.

[Kevin Adams @KevinAdams26]

@JohnSmith0tc @MarkMaddenX Are you both slow? I’m criticizing exactly that. They needed to try a new approach. Go get a guy. Add to the roster. Instead they’re doing the same conservative BS that keeps them middle of the pack.

[Kevin Adams @KevinAdams26]

@Uncletim1894 Let’s no get greedy haha

[Kevin Adams @KevinAdams26]

@bobtimusprime It’s not Khan and everybody knows it’s Weidl. Khan is the numbers guy. Listen to anybody in the know when they talk about the Steelers front office. It’s Andy Weidl that handles player scouting.

[Kevin Adams @KevinAdams26]

@SteelNick0311 Downs. Not only did you lose him, you let the chiefs get better in doing it. I didn’t expect them to trade for Jettas, but I did expect them to add a competent wr to a room that is depleted. Downs fit that bill.

[Kevin Adams @KevinAdams26]

@wildkardalex @_STEELHERE They’ve beat the test on Sunday. Which is more than that test can say for themselves. But I do agree. Win Sunday, and everybody will be all in.

[Kevin Adams @KevinAdams26]

@steelerpens7 We’ll see how it plays out. They’re still a pretty damn good team. I just felt like this was a year you could truly get over that hump. And if that meant a couple mid or later round picks, I’m fine with that. It just stings to see the other elites in the AFC get better.

[Kevin Adams @KevinAdams26]

@mad_chadder412 Because you get a compensatory pick back when he signs elsewhere. It’s basically a rental with recouped value.

[Kevin Adams @KevinAdams26]

@deafyinzer lol. Mhm. Love you buddy, but. I disagree. Pittman will linger all year and Roman is just a guy.

[Kevin Adams @KevinAdams26]

@StairwayTuSeven Idk. For a 5 at the end of the day, I’m making that trade 100/100 times.

[Kevin Adams @KevinAdams26]

@WarrenBurghh The 4th is irrelevant. If he walks and gets paid. You get a compensatory back and it’s likely a 4. So really it’s a 5throunder. It’s worth that for him. It is.

[Kevin Adams @KevinAdams26]

@StairwayTuSeven That last part is exactly why you make the trade. If you don’t sign him. You get a compensatory likely 4th rounder back. So really it’s a 5. You’re not trading a measly 5 for downs when you’re 6-2 and in the hunt and badly need wr help? Cmon.

[Kevin Adams @KevinAdams26]

@WarrenBurghh A 4th round pick flops more than it doesn’t. Downs might not make the Steelers a legit contender, but it makes them better. That’s the goal when you’re 6-2. He’s better than any 4th round risk at this point imo because he’s proven. We don’t have a 4 but send em next years.
