PM Team FULL Show 11-24-25

Folks, it is Thanksgiving week and the Ravens have, in fact, caught up to and passed the Steelers (with the tiebreaker) to lead the AFC North. The guys talked about the up and down nature that rides with this team and this fanbase after every single game. We even joked that they will come right back and beat the Bills. Why is the reaction so pronounced every time they lose? A funny stat about Jameis Winston, who took the Lions to OT yesterday. Does Aaron Rodgers win the game yesterday? Time to admit trading George Pickens was a mistake? PM Team Professors.

JJ Watt was ripping the Steelers on the broadcast yesterday. Poni says that he has never seen TJ Watt so visibly distraught and frustrated after a game. Is reality setting in for TJ that he may never win a playoff game in his career? Calls. Patrick Queen expressed his frustration without getting himself in trouble after the game. Caleb Williams was only hit once and attempted 35 passes, which is the lowest pressure rate he has ever faced. Calls. Donny Football Debrief – College football update. Pitt’s ACC Championship game hopes are still alive. There was an article that implied Pitt would miss the playoff even if they beat Miami and won the ACC, which the guys agree is incorrect.

Mike Tomlin said that Mason Rudolph went out and made plays for the Steelers yesterday. How do Poni and Mueller assess his performance? They were more critical than Coach T. The guys discuss DK Metcalf’s lack of ability to bring in 50-50 balls. Mason Rudolph said he found out he was starting on Saturday, but Jonnu Smith said that he didn’t find out that Rudolph was starting until right before the game. Was Aaron Rodgers actually close to being ready for yesterday’s game? More calls. PIT-CHI Game Balls.

Another loss in Chicago as the Bears beat the Steelers, 31-28. We dove right into what went wrong at Soldier Field. Chris said Mike Tomlin showed yet again a gutless philosophy that kills them in these games. He went with Mason Rudolph over Aaron Rodgers, who sat out due to the wrist injury. Was that the right decision? We yet again saw an offense that was afraid to throw the football over the middle of the field – against a very shorthanded defense. It was another example of the Steelers being painfully average. Callers chimed in following the Steelers loss to the Bears, with some calling for Mike Tomlin to be in his final days as head coach. PIT-CHI Plays of the Game.

The Steelers are in a tight race for the division lead with Baltimore with a big game in Chicago this weekend. Will Rodgers play and continue to dominate the Bears? Or, will the Steelers 30-year drought in Chicago continue?
