10. Teams generally don't play well most of the time on primetime games

Especially the Sunday night games but a lot of it has to do with the match-ups.

I think the Ravens would have gone further than the Steelers. I feel Baltimore got off to a slow start and made up for it in the 2nd half of the season but they came up just short.

I think the Ravens need a new kicker more than a new coach. The Ravens seem to have the worst 4th quarter luck of any NFL team going back to past few seasons.

The Steelers GM is the real problem there...bad drafts at offensive line and QB for a decade JT45242 Jan 5 #13

Omar Khan was hired as GM in May 2022. Wiz Imp Jan 5 #18

GM also about free agency and handling the cap -- JT45242 Jan 5 #20
