Last year Finley had by far the best start of his career against the Steelers. Here are his career numbers
Passer rating v Steelers.............84.1
Passer rating v all other teams....44.6
Now with Allen out of practice all week Finley is going to get another shot at the Steelers.
Maybe Finley is the "Steeler Killer" we have been searching for forever. We will find out tonight.

My fantasy team is pushing for the finals.
I have Steelers DST, opponent has Roethlisberger and Ebron.
So for my sake, I hope it's a low-scoring game on both ends.

im going to go put on a limb and predict.....Finley makes it out of the game with no major injuries, withstands 6 sacks, throws less than 3 picks and more than 100 yd but less than 125.
and ZT comes out and says what a great ball game he played and a play here and a play there we would have won it....bla bla bla
at this stage lets not F up the draft position....Sewell looks like a once in a decade prospect right now.

Finley has been sacked 18 times in just 108 pass attempts. That is once every 5.9 attempts. We thought Burrow was getting killed, but he was sacked less than half as often as Finley (once every 12.6 attempts). The starting getting sacked the most often in the league (Wentz once every 8.7) is still WAY behind Finley's rate
And did I mention that the Steelers defense leads the NFL in "Sacks, "Hurries", "Pressures", and "QB Knock Downs"?
Who is Finley's back up? I have a feeling we might see him play tonight.

I’ve got the finals locked up without my wideouts playing yet. I might win this year! I’ve had plenty of second place finishes over the years.. This ones especially sweet because it’s the first time doing a league at work.
I picked up Montgomery after someone dropped him when he got injured; he’s been lights out the past 4 weeks. Also picked up David Johnson this week for flex and he slayed. Kielce, Delvin Cook, and Rodgers have been solid. My 2nd and 4th round picks are on IR, but I’ve been making due with other people’s trash.
Long story short, I could play the Bengals receivers or Steelers receivers this week and it wouldn’t matter.
Good luck to you this week and next!
As for this game I just want this train wreck to be over already. Let’s have a complete beat down by the Steelers, Texans, and Ravens to seal Zac’s fate!

If Finley somehow manages to put together a good enough game to beat the Steelers tonight? I will have my not yet born Grandchildren sing songs about him.

So Finley gets injured, who's our back up then?

This is going to be horrible. I'm almost afraid to watch. Finley is too clueless out there. When he plays, he looks like a peewee QB. He stands there and picks his nose while he gets creamed. Guy shouldn't even be on the team. Finley looks like Evel Knievels kid. And if I'm right, after tonight he will too be like the father. Every bone in his body will have been broken and his only successful Grand Canyon jump will come from a fat girl at a truck stop!

I think we have a better chance kicking 70yd field goals with Fat Randy.

Sorry Fred you were right. Although, I was also right in the prediction thread... I think I might been the only one who said a win..

You were right about the number of fumbles, the pick and the QB having a rough day . . . but for the other team.

In all seriousness, this will give Finley a much needed boost in confidence. He's pretty much stunk up the field every time he walked on it. Until last night. Mentally this has to be huge for him.
