Watson is a great team player, explosive at times, willing to do the dirty work and is all about winning, also defenses must account for him on every play
Watson also blocks 1,000 times better than Pickens ever has

I just want to know how many more lucky bounces the Steelers are going to get tonight.
No kidding. I think the entire team has horseshoes up their a**es tonight.
Crazy that the Jets have 3 ex Iowa State Cyclones playing significant roles at the same time. McDonald, Lazard and Hall. They didn't put anyone in the Pros to speak of for years but that's changed a lot recently. Purdy, the Jets trio, Hutchinson the WR playing for the Texans today. They're scattered throughout the league now.
There's a reason Pickens is on the Steelers. He's a Mike Tomlin special.
8 is playing a 3x3 box. Nothing under center. Easy work for the defense.
Kick the FG.
4th down and he threw a pass to Mike Williams!! 1st down
This is getting sad.
Wow, the Jets have the Packers ST's.

Excerpt from a NY Times article after Cowboys-Steelers this month
The bigger issue was Pickens’ lack of effort on a number of routes, him slamming his helmet to the turf after a rough sequence, sitting by himself on the bench with his head in his hands and, on the final play, grabbing Dallas Cowboys defender Jourdan Lewis by the face mask as time expired. Pickens finished the game with three catches for 26 yards and appeared visibly frustrated with his usage.

He’s the classic diva receiver, but he ain’t no Randy Moss or similar types whose ability to take over a game means you’ll put up with his tantrums. Give me a team guy like Watson anytime
Dean Lowry!
The Steelers blocked the FG but he didn't kick it very high either.
It looked like it was going wide left anyway
I hope AR is enjoying 'The New York Jets Experience'.

Lol....not even close.....but I'll give you the more durable part. Watson has been frail so far.
Let me know the next time Pickens outruns Budda Baker for a TD.
Harris and the Steelers O-Line taking over now. Starting to wear the Jets D down.
It's almost like their DC can't concentrate on DC'ing because he's the head coach. Jets are a circus.
Must score drive coming up for NY
That crowd in Pittsburgh is fantastic

Gutekunst knows just when to sell an avocado.
That smile by Tomlin. 
Rodgers looks old.
Good to see some former Badgers making plays in the game. There are at least six on these teams.

I find it kind of tough to watch Rodgers these days. I think he’s kind of delusional about what he’s capable of since he still has a strong arm.
His biggest problem is his legs and feet betray him. He used to have an incredible ability to extend plays. With that ability lost to father time, he’s turned into an incredibly ordinary QB. It used to be that when he was pressured he was quick to react to it and burn a defense. Now, I think he reacts a little too slowly and it leads to him missing throws he used to make in his sleep.
At least he does still have a terrific arm that can make you remember how great he was. But yeah with his slow feet and lack of quickness I don’t think he’ll ever be close to where he was a few years ago.

Last year's defense wasn't hurt like this years Jets defense.
That's the difference.
And Rodgers is still out there.

I'm sure the Jets 4-3 record at the beginning of last year was due to Zach Wilson's stellar QB play. 🙄 Everything else was the same too I'm guessing?
I get it that Rodgers has his faults, but some pundits are trying a little too hard to be, "trendy" and jump on the, "bash Aaron Rodgers" bandwagon. A lot of it is pretty stupid.
Never has Woody paid so much for so little.
He's beat up and he can't protect himself enough to get healthy. He's also too stubborn to allow for a game plan to protect him. It's all about 'the show'. While he's been fantasizing about spells, intentions, and it's all about the players, Gutey wisely rebuilt the Packers with young talent and ate a plate full of **** and criticism from every media outlet in the country and half the fan base to see it through.
Aaron's got 10 weeks of eating humble pie before it's all over. Respect him for fighting to the end and his professional attitude towards 10, but his vengeance consumed him in the end and drew him to possibly the worst run franchise in the league.
All that said I'll be happy to forgive all and welcome him home when he retires a Packer. Can't blame a competitor for competing to the end and appreciate everything he left out on the field. One of a kind out of everyone who ever played the position. It was his way almost the whole way and it was a he** of a ride.
Yeah....I'm not happy.....the league will be a lot better if the Jets can start winning this year.

I think the assertion is they're 2-5 because Rodgers has been god awful (he has).
