If you deleted the original demo it's gone unless you had it on a drive. I kept my ps4 for years just because of that until giving it away to my cousin.

It really is. Every team they've beaten this year must be feeling the same. They should be picking in the top 10 next year, so I suppose it's sort of a silver lining that they won't be.

For context on how bad NFL QB play is right now, and how unlucky the Week 14 schedule is, here is the list of QB matchups for just this week alone:
Bailey Zappe vs Mitch Trubisky
Gardner Minshew vs Jake Browning
CJ Beathard (possibly) vs Dorian Thompson-Robinson (or Joe Flacco)
Josh Dobbs vs Aidan O'Connell
You also have:
Baker Mayfield vs Desmond Ridder
Bryce Young vs Derek Carr
Jordan Love vs Tommy DeVito
At least 1/3 of the teams playing this week are starting a QB they would 100% prefer not to start if their roster was fully healthy.

Depending on how things shake out with the #1 seed, I wouldn't be super sure that week 18 is a meaningful game for the Ravens. And at this rate, it may not be a meaningful game for the Steelers either.
One of the downsides of scheduling the Steelers the last week of the season. If we're as good as we expect to be, that game shouldn't have a whole lot of meaning.

I’m very happy about this . The Steelers are a bad team but still somehow in playoff contention . They did lose Pickett and he’s certainly better than Trubinsky by a lot .
I don’t like Tomlin , I think he’s an arrogant prick , but for him to have the record he has with the scrubs on that team , I have to be impressed

Tomlin is one of the best coaches in the league and always seems to have that team in contention, regardless of what's happening with their roster (injuries, shitty players, divas, etc.). I know we're supposed to hate him because of the rivalry, but I would love to have Tomlin on our coaching staff if he wasn't coaching them
Fuck the Steelers tho

What really makes me smile is knowing the Pickett selection is setting them back years.

Guessing you are talking about our last game(2 passes, one game), and what you're saying may be true. No question there's times where the issue lies with the receiver. But I think most you talk to recognize Lamar's deep touch has been off this year.
Here's a video I stumbled across looking at 3 passes from the Browns loss. The one I see as catchable here was actually an under throw and most likely completed had it been placed out in front of Keaton.

Tomlin is overrated. He was blessed with a HOF QB and some of the best defenders to ever play the game. All of that equated to one Super Bowl win
Then you add in his teams consistently have selfish individuals acting like divas Wallace, AB, Bell, Ju Ju, Johnson, Pickens etc…. He’s got culture issues up there

So I think he's an above average coach who does have a way of competing every week in most situations.
I think 2023 should be a very big wake up call that the Steelers roster just ain't that great. They have a very long list of average players up and down their roster. 2-3 high-end players on defense, and their entire offense is either average or below average. Pickett isn't a good QB, their Oline has sucked for like 5 years now, and their receivers aren't special either.

That team is terrible, 3.3 YPC Najee is trash, No effort Diontae is somehow worse, and "Can he pick it, yes he can" is even worse. If the Pats are the worst offense in the league, the Steelers are definitely keeping it close.
A question for you guys. You think Love will be another Hall of Fame QB?

EXTREMELY premature to ask a question like this. Need to see him elevate his game more and over a very extended period of time.
